NAPLES ME ( August 10, 2008) The Toyota Tundra 250 at Wiscasset (ME)
Raceway is just a week away, and the short track racing extravaganza
at Doug and Becky Whites' coastal oval promises to serve up a weekend
of racing that's guaranteed to satisfy any race fans' need for speed.
Of course the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North Toyota Tundra 250
headlines the weekend; there's a hefty $30,000.00 check waiting in
victory lane for the winner. It's the biggest guaranteed race winner's
pay out for full fendered short track racers in the northeast and the
field for that one will be full of track champions, short track
legends, and the fastest short track cars and superstars from North
Carolina to Canada.
There's plenty of action leading up to Sunday's big race as both the
PASS Mods and the Pluffybilt Racing Tractors PASS Sportsman divisions
are on the under card. There's two Sportsman features on tap, a 50 lap
make up for a June Sportsman rainout at Wiscasset plus a 75 lap
feature. It's a big day of racing for the popular series, where Richie
Morse leads Shane Tatro by just seven markers in the title chase.
The PASS Mods will do battle for 40 laps; Mark Lucas and Troy Morse
have each chalked up a Wiscasset win this season, and Bill Dixon will
be shooting for two in a row after a popular first win the last time
out. Just two points separate point leader Tom Oliver from Gary
Norris; Mark Lucas is only five back in third.
The heat will be on to make the show in the PASS Toyota Tundra 250
heat races. Only four cars will transfer and getting in the show early
will take the pressure off those teams. But there are consolation
rounds and a 50 lap last chance feature for those that don't make the
cut in the heats.
Toyota Tundra 250 weekend kicks off on Saturday August 16 with the
True Value Modified 100, late models, strictly streets, super streets,
minis and late models on the schedule plus practice for the Toyota
Tundra 250. Saturdays' racing gets underway at 5:00 PM.
Sunday August 17 the pit gates swing open at 7:00 AM with practice
getting underway at 9:00 AM. The first green flag will fly at 2:00 PM,
and the Toyota Tundra 250 is tentatively scheduled for a 6:00 PM
start.
