CHARLOTTE, NC (May 29) – For the first time this season, the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Pro Late Models will be the featured division as they headline the First Citizens 200 Saturday night at Dillon Motor Speedway. The 4/10 mile, egg-shaped layout of the Dillon Motor Speedway is a tough challenge to even the most experienced racer and the competition is certainly aware of that factor heading into this weekend. In less than two years though, the PASS Pro Late Models has proven to be one of the country’s top divisions for racers looking to make the step up into a touring division. Already this year, drivers like Tate Fogleman, Cole Timm, Jody Measamer, and Karl Weber have shown glimpses of their potential in the PASS South Super Late Model division thanks in large part to their time racing with the PASS Pro Late Models.
Harrison Burton and Trevor Noles have both found success this season in the PASS Pro Late Models, finishing first and second respectively at Dillon back in March. Since then, Noles has gone on to record three PASS Pro Late Model wins and has become one of the hottest commodities in short track racing. Additionally, Noles made his PASS South Super Late Model debut in the Coulter Motorsports #2 at Southern National Raceway Park where he finished ninth and followed that up by leading laps at South Boston Speedway and finishing 12th. Noles says he is looking forward to showcasing his talent further this weekend at Dillon as the PASS Pro Late Models step into the spotlight.

Vallee-Jonction, Quebec – DJ Shaw and the #60 Precision JLM team traveled north of the international border this past weekend to the tight ¼ mile bullring, Autodrome Chaudiere, for the Pro All Stars Series North “Frameco 150.” Making his way through the pack early, Shaw was involved in an incident and had to settle for an eventual eleventh place finish.
The day started off with Shaw finishing fifth from the rear of the field in his heat race, putting him in the 15th spot for the 150 lap feature event. The starting position wasn’t a worry to the team though, as they’ve started in the middle of the pack each race so far this season. Shaw worked his way through traffic early and had one of the fastest cars on the track until an incident with Trevor Sanborn relegated Shaw to the rear of the field with a bent suspension. That was just one of the many incidents in the caution filled event on the tight bullring. The team compensated for the bent suspension the best they could after the wreck, and rallied to finish 11th when the checkered flag waved.
