PASS South Giving Back to Fans for MOM 150

CHARLOTTE, NC (May 7, 2008) Entering this weekend's Inaugural MOM
150 at the Motor Mile Speedway in Radford, VA, the Pro All Stars
Series (PASS) South Super Late Model drivers hope to score the win at
one of America's finest short tracks. At the same, fans will also be
able to get something back from PASS thanks to several promotional
opportunities aimed at reducing tickets prices.

Motor Mile Speedway fans are used to seeing great weekly racing at a
low price. With this weekend being all about moms, fans can stop by
Shelor Motor Mile dealerships and a variety of other supporting
locations to pick up $5 dollar off coupons, good for a discount on any
adult ticket at Saturday's races. Fans can also find downloadable
versions of the $5 off coupon at motormilespeedway.com.

"Al (Shelor), Randy (Merriman), and the entire staff at Motor Mile
have been great in helping us promote this event," said PASS President
Tom Mayberry. "We've got a great group of fans that follow our
events, but these coupons are a way to get our fans and the Motor Mile
fans out to see our great races. It's also a way for us to give back
to our mothers. The great thing about these coupons is that any adult
can use them, not just mom."

In addition to the $5 off discount coupons, PASS and Motor Mile
Speedway officials also want to give something back to the future
leaders of our country. Motor Mile Speedway is just minutes away from
Virginia Tech University in nearby Blacksburg, VA, and in honor of
commencement ceremonies there Saturday afternoon, any Virginia Tech
student, not just graduates, that show their student ID will get $5
off any adult ticket.

"In trying to give back to the community, we know it can get tough for
these kids trying to pay their way through college, so by showing
their student ID, hopefully they can save a few bucks and see some
great racing too," said Mayberry. "It's our way of honoring the Class
of 2008."

With moms, dads, students, and race fans watching, the third race of
the 2008 PASS South Super Late Model schedule looks to be up for
grabs. This will be the first time PASS has visited Motor Mile
Speedway so teams will have an empty notebook heading to this
weekend's activities. Corey Williams and Perry Brown look for their
second wins of the season, but a great field of drivers is expected to
be on hand looking to join the winner's club. Virginia's Tim Pinion,
Ben Rowe, Bubba Pollard, Mitch Cobb, Alex Haase, Zach Stroupe, and
many, many more are expected for the aptly named MOM 150. You know
these drivers would love to be able to give mom a trophy come Mother's
Day!

Everything gets started early with an all day practice scheduled for
Friday. Gates on Friday open at 1 PM, with rotating practice from 3
PM to 7 PM for the PASS South Super Late Models, PASS Rolling Thunder
Modifieds, and Limited Sportsmen. On Saturday, gates open at 10 AM,
rotating practice starts at 1 PM, qualifying at 4:30 PM, racing at
6:30 PM, and the MOM 150 will roll off at approximately 8:30 PM. The
Motor Mile Speedway is located 2 miles south of Radford, VA on Route
11.
