PASS South Super Late Models and Trucks Ready To Kick Off 2009 At Dillon

PASS South Super Late Models and Trucks Ready To Kick Off 2009 At Dillon

CHARLOTTE, NC (March 10) – The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super
Late Models begin their biggest season yet with the 4th Annual South
Carolina Clash this weekend at the Dillon Motor Speedway in Dillon,
SC. In addition to the 150 lap main event for the PASS South cars the
nation's newest touring series, the PASS Late Model Trucks, will also
race for 75 laps on Saturday afternoon.

The South Carolina Clash joins other premier events such as the Easter
Bunny 150 and the Mason Dixon Meltdown as one of the most storied
races in PASS South history. The first South Carolina Clash was held
in 2006 at the Florence Motor Speedway. This race was the first PASS
South event for local hero Hal Goodson and would see an epic battle
between veterans Freddie Query and Mike Rowe and up and coming
superstar Charlie Bradberry. The three drivers traded the lead back
and forth while, at the same time, trading a little paint. The race
saw an extreme amount of attrition with only five cars running at the
checkered flag. Due to the number of caution laps that were run, fuel
became a concern and Bradberry would relinquish the lead late to pit
for fuel under caution. The move paid off after Rowe's car burped
while running low on fuel allowing Bradberry to move around and hold
off Query for the win. Sadly, this would be Bradberry's final Super
Late Model win as he would lose his life in a traffic accident just a
few months later.

The second South Carolina Clash would see the PASS South Super Late
Models move to the upstate of South Carolina and the Anderson Motor
Speedway in 2007. After being rained out on Saturday night, the Clash
would be contested under the hot South Carolina sun of a Sunday
afternoon in June. This, coupled with an abrasive track surface, made
for an extremely slippery track for the high horse powered cars of
PASS South. This played right into the hands of Ryan Lawler. Lawler
was coming off a win in the season opening Easter Bunny 150 and was
competing with a crate engine under the hood of his Ford. The crate
engine was down about 200 horsepower from its built counterparts and
was perfect for the conditions facing Lawler and his competitors.
Lawler held off former track champion Gary Greenwood and Alabama
standout Johnny Brazier for his second straight win. The phenom from
Texas would go on to win the 2007 PASS South championship. Perhaps
what is best remembered about the 2007 South Carolina Clash is the
battle between Jason Hogan and Ben Rowe. Both drivers had achieved
short track stardom, Hogan in the South and Rowe in New England, and
thanks to PASS they had a chance to compete against one another.
Hogan and Rowe waged a great late race battle for fourth that came
right down to bending some sheet metal at the checkered flag.
Although Hogan took the position, his car was a mangled mess against
the front stretch wall which led to a heated discussion at the finish
line. The two veterans still disagree today as to who was at fault
for the late race fireworks.

Last year's South Carolina Clash returned to the Pee Dee Region for a
first time visit to the Dillon Motor Speedway. In just its second
year of operation after being resurrected by former driver Ron
Barfield, Dillon had established itself as one of the South's premier
short tracks. It had also gained a reputation for being tough, with
progressive banking and turns three and four being quite a bit more
narrow than turns one and two. For the second year in-a-row, racing
was rained out on Saturday and would be held on a hot August
afternoon that saw track temperatures soar to well over 100 degrees.
Short track veteran Jay Fogleman was making his debut with the PASS
South Series and made his presence felt by taking the lead after
points contender Alex Haase had a tire problem on a restart.
Fogleman's lead was short lived, though, as fast qualifier Justin
Wakefield sped to the point and won handily over Alex Fleming, also
scoring his best career finish. Wakefield's win was his first in PASS
South competition.

This year's South Carolina Clash is unique for three reasons. First,
it is the first South Carolina Clash to be contested in the spring
instead of the summer. It is also the first time the race will be
returning to a speedway that has hosted the event before. And,
finally, this will mark the first time the PASS South season opener
has been held anywhere other than the Hickory Motor Speedway.

Drivers from Florida to Maine have filed entries for the 2009 South
Carolina Clash. Four-time PASS North champion Ben Rowe and PASS North
contender D.J. Shaw will both be making the long trek from Maine.
Floridian David Pollen, Jr. will be heading the opposite direction up
Interstate 95 to make his first PASS South start. Veteran Hal Goodson
returns to the series at Dillon, where he is the defending track
champion in the Seneca Supertruck division. 2008 PASS South Champion
Alex Haase will be back in the Kyle Busch Foundation Toyota along with
title contenders Justin Wakefield, Mark Gibson, and Heath Hindman.
North Carolina veterans will be well represented by Big Jim Kelley,
Preston Peltier, Bradley McCaskill, and Alex Fleming, along with
talented rookies Ryan Blaney and Devin Jones.

There has also been increased interest in this year's race thanks to
the debut of the PASS Late Model Truck division. The PASS Late Model
Trucks will join the PASS South Super Late Models a total of ten times
in 2009 starting this weekend with the South Carolina Clash. Hal
Goodson and Mark Brooks will be doing double duty racing both the
Super Late Models and the Trucks this weekend. Many of Dillon Motor
Speedway's Seneca Supertruck regulars are expected to try and defend
their home turf from the PASS Late Model Truck drivers. Among those
expected are defending Pro Challenge National Champion Clint King,
John Whaley, Jamie Turner, Marty Griggs and many, many more.

Action kicks off on Friday, March 13th with gates opening at 1 PM and
practice for both PASS divisions from 2 PM to 6PM. On Saturday, March
14th, practice will be from 11 AM to 1:30 PM, qualifying will be at
2:30 PM, and racing will start at 3 PM. Dillon Motor Speedway is
located on SC Highway 9 just off Interstate 95 exit 193. For more

NASCAR’s Wallace family enters TD Banknorth 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway

NASCAR's Wallace family enters TD Banknorth 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway

Kenny, Steve to compete in 36th annual race; Rusty is grand marshal

OXFORD, Maine - Three members of racing's legendary Wallace family
have announced their commitment to the 36th annual TD Banknorth 250
Presented by New England Dodge Dealers on Sunday, July 19, 2009 at
Oxford Plains Speedway.
Kenny Wallace and Steve Wallace have filed entries for the historic
late model race, while NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Rusty Wallace will
be grand marshal of the region's richest single-day short track race.
Qualifying begins at 2 p.m. on race day, with the main event scheduled
for shortly after 6 p.m.
Eighty-eight drivers attempted to earn a starting position in last
year's TD Banknorth 250, with Kevin Harvick capturing the checkered
flag.
"We're excited about this announcement that not just one or two but
three NASCAR personalities will be part of the TD Banknorth 250 this
year," said OPS owner Bill Ryan. "We've been fortunate to have the
biggest names in the sport competing in this race since 2004 --
Kenseth, Busch, Labonte and Harvick, to name a few. The Wallace name
has been synonymous with our sport for more than 20 years, so they are
a perfect addition to that list."
This won't be the family's first encounter with Oxford. Rusty Wallace
competed in what was then the NASCAR Busch North Series on a Saturday
night in August 1987. Two years later, coinciding with his Cup
championship season, Wallace qualified 25th and finished 10th in the
TD Banknorth 250.
Kenny Wallace competed in three consecutive 250s when it was a NASCAR
Nationwide Series race in the early 1990s, posting finishes of 20th,
eighth and 34th.
Rusty's son and Kenny's nephew Steve has never competed in the TD
Banknorth 250, but he already owns a victory in another storied short
track race, the Snowball Derby in Pensacola, Fla.
"I can't tell you how excited our family is to be part of the TD
Banknorth 250 and get back to Oxford Plains Speedway again," said
Rusty Wallace, now owner of a NASCAR Nationwide Series team and lead
auto racing analyst for ABC and ESPN. "It's been 20 years, but I
remember like it was yesterday having to sweat out those qualifying
races and compete with a hundred other guys just to make the feature.
It's just an old-school event. There really aren't many races like it
anywhere in the country anymore."
Rusty Wallace won 55 races and 36 poles in his Sprint Cup career. He
won the 1989 NASCAR all-star race in memorable fashion, was the 1991
IROC champion and was named one of NASCAR's 50 greatest drivers in
1998. He also earned the victory in the inaugural Sprint Cup race at
New Hampshire Motor Speedway in 1993.
Kenny Wallace, 45,=2 0is a veteran of more than 750 starts in NASCAR's
top two series. He owns nine wins, 10 pole positions and 157 top-10
results in the Nationwide Series, where he currently drives the #28
United States Border Patrol car. Wallace finished second in the
Nationwide point standings in 1991.
He has won the pole three times and posted 27 top-20 finishes in his
Sprint Cup career, mostly notably finishing second at Talladega
Superspeedway in October 2000. Kenny's drafting help late in the race
assisted what was Dale Earnhardt's final win.
"We thought we had a chance to win at least two of our races at
Oxford, which is a testament to how tough the TD Banknorth 250 is,"
Kenny Wallace said. "You're going up against the best drivers in this
part of the country on their home turf. That's what is so amazing
about what Kevin Harvick was able to do last year."
While still active as a driver, Kenny Wallace also is one of the
sport's most popular television personalities. He is co-host of
"NASCAR RaceDay" and "NASCAR Victory Lane" on SPEED.
Steve Wallace is only 21, but his racing resume already includes
multiple poles and top-five finishes in the NASCAR Nationwide Series,
numerous victories in ARCA competition, a win in the first-ever Late
Model stock car race at Bristol Motor Speedway and a national
championship as a youth in the INEX Bandolero Car series.
Perhaps his greatest achievement to date took place in 2004,20when at
17 he became the youngest winner in the 37-year history of the
Snowball Derby.
"I hear this race is very similar (to the Snowball Derby) in a lot of
ways," Steve Wallace said. "But they also tell me it's a tough track
to get a hold of. I love new challenges and the TD Banknorth 250 is
going to be one for sure."
Team and sponsor affiliations for Kenny and Steve Wallace will be
announced at a later date.
The TD Banknorth 250 is the headline event of a three-day weekend
presented by New England Dodge Dealers that also will include full
cards of racing competition on Friday and Saturday.
Past winners of the summer classic include Mike Rowe, Dave Dion, Ralph
Nason, Geoff Bodine, Ben Rowe, Butch Lindley, Bob Pressley, Joey
Kourafas, Jamie Aube, Dick McCabe, Chuck Bown, Ricky Craven and Junior
Hanley.

PASS South Opener Postponed; Rescheduled to March 21st

CHARLOTTE, NC (March 11) – The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super
Late Models and PASS Late Model Trucks will have to wait one week to
begin the 2009 racing season due to inclement weather. This weekend's
forecast for Dillon, SC and much of the Southeast is calling for
cooler temperatures and rain. PASS President Tom Mayberry and Dillon
Motor Speedway owner Ron Barfield have agreed in a joint decision to
postpone this weekend's scheduled South Carolina Clash and PASS South
Awards Dinner. Both events will be pushed back one week and will be
held on March 20-21.

"We feel it is in the best interests of our race teams and fans to
have the South Carolina Clash next week," said Mayberry. "A lot of
folks are looking forward to this race, including some who are
traveling quite a distance to be in Dillon, and Ron and I think we owe
it to everybody to hold off the activities for a week when the weather
is expected to be much, much better."

Next week's festivities surrounding the South Carolina Clash at Dillon
Motor Speedway kick off on Friday, March 20th with gates opening at 1
PM and practice for both the PASS South Super Late Models and PASS
Late Model Trucks from 2 PM to 6PM. The PASS South Awards Dinner will
then be held at 8:30 PM on Friday night at the Kintyre House in
Dillon. On Saturday, March 21st, practice for both divisions will be
from 11 AM to 1:30 PM, qualifying will be at 2:30 PM, and racing will
start at 3 PM. Dillon Motor Speedway is located on SC Highway 9 just
off Interstate 95, exit 193.

Hutch-BSR recognizes PASS Hard Chargers

NAPLES ME (March 12) The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) is pleased to
welcome back one of the nation's foremost racing parts suppliers for
another season as a PASS awards sponsor.

BSR Products has acquired another motorsports legend, Hutcherson-Pagan
Enterprises, and the new racing enterprise is now known as Hutch-BSR.
The acquisition of Hutcherson-Pagan has broadened the scope of
services the company has to offer, from Port City chassis and chassis
repairs to a recently acquired "pull-down" rig that short track racers
can reserve time on.

The Hutch-BSR /PASS Hard Charger award will be presented to the driver
who most improves their starting position in each 2009 PASS Super Late
Model North and South event. The award winner will receive a $100.00
product certificate redeemable at the short track superstore. Plus,
2009 North and South points eligible super late model teams will have

rolling parts stores, and the company plans to be on hand at every
PASS South points race this season. The dedicated short track trailer

model and late model truck racers need, and will be staffed by a short
track racing specialist.

"I want to thank Hutch-BSR for renewing their program with the Pro All
Stars," said PASS President Tom Mayberry." Nobody likes to start at
the back, but it's a part of racing; sometimes it's tougher to crack
the top ten from the 28th spot than it is to win the race. The quality
of competition in both the PASS North and South Super Late Model
divisions is that tough. We appreciate the fact that Hutch- BSR
recognizes this and will reward our competitors for their efforts."

Fogleman Looks For New Beginning With PASS In 2009

Fogleman Looks For New Beginning With PASS In 2009

CHARLOTTE, NC (March 4) – Jay Fogleman has seen a lot of things come
and go in a racing career that has spanned the last 25 years. The
Durham, NC, native has been racing for most of his 42 years. The 2009
season will see him embark on a vastly different journey through the
racing world. Fogleman plans to race the entire 2009 season with the
Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model division. The
sleek, fast, PASS South Super Late Models are unique when compared to
anything Fogleman has raced before, but they do compliment a common
theme in Fogleman's racing resume'. He has always enjoyed racing cars
and in divisions that were on the cusp of breaking new ground.

When Fogleman first began racing in 1982, he started out driving cars
in an unknown division called Late Model Stock cars. For years, the
top division at paved race tracks throughout the Mid-Atlantic was the
NASCAR Late Model Sportsman cars. This division was just a step below
NASCAR's Grand National division, known now as the Sprint Cup Series,
and was dominated by legendary short track drivers like Red Farmer,
Jack Ingram, Tommy Houston, and Sam Ard. NASCAR, along with a few car
owners, looked to create a division that would race weekly at local
short tracks and would help racers save money. Initially, only a few
tracks including South Boston Speedway and Orange County Speedway,
embraced the new division. Fogleman and others jumped on board and,
as the years went by, Late Model Stock cars pushed the Late Model
Sportsman cars out as the premier division in the South. Fogleman
quickly established himself as one of the top Late Model Stock drivers
in the country winning races at speedways throughout the Carolinas and
Virginia. While Late Model Stock cars thrived, the Sportsman cars
perished and drivers like Fogleman never had the chance to compete in
them.

"We just really never had the opportunity besides Concord and a few
racetracks to run the Late Model Sportsman and eventually the Super
Late Model-type cars," said Fogleman. "I just had never been around
them and a lot of people in this area have never had the opportunity
to drove those cars and be around them and I think that's why they had
a lot of trouble in the Carolinas throughout the 1990's."

Following Fogleman's success in the Late Model Stock division, he felt
it was time for a new challenge; the chance to show his talent to a
broader, more national audience. Like many racers, the finances and
opportunities never presented themselves to move up into one of
NASCAR's premier national touring divisions. But, that all changed in
the late 1990's when the Hooter's Restaurant chain looked to start an
entirely new racing division, catering solely to short track racers.
The USAR Hooter's Pro Cup Series provided a more affordable short
track series, paying healthy purses to attract racers like Fogleman,
who was looking to do something new.

"That was the thing I really liked about Pro Cup when it first started
was that Bobby Gill, myself, and [Jeff] Agnew and Johnny Rumley and a
lot of those guys would race and then we would have [Joey] Logano and
all of these young kids coming through," said Fogleman. "It was a
good mix and it made it really exciting for the fans. People like to
see the young guys and the guys, like myself, who have been around for
a while going at it."

The USAR Hooter's Pro Cup Series ushered in a tremendous period of
growth for short track racing and saw Fogleman and others like him
reach a new group of fans. However, like so many things, Hooter's
decided to drop its sponsorship of the series at the end of the 2008
season due to the economic downturn. After numerous wins with the
series, including one last year at Southern National Raceway Park that
propelled him to a third place finish in the final point standings,
Jay Fogleman was again looking for something to do.

Fogleman had followed the PASS Series and realized that this might
be an opportunity to again get in on the ground floor of a growing
series. Late in 2008, PASS approved Pro Cup engines for use in the
series and that was the sign that told Fogleman what he needed to do.

"We have four engines built for our Pro Cup cars and we can take the
same engines in both cars and make it work out to where we don't have
to build engines for each type of car," said Fogleman. "We can keep
them in rotation and basically build half the engines of what we would
have had to if we had to build engines for each division."

Knowing of the problems facing the Pro Cup Series, Fogleman dabbled
with PASS in 2008. He led laps and finished fourth at Dillon Motor
Speedway and then went on to score his first PASS South win in an
attrition filled race at the Newport Speedway.

"The cars are fun to drive and I've raced a little bit of everything,"
said Fogleman of his initial impressions of PASS. "This was really my
first time in a Super Late Model…it's just good racing and it's doing
pretty well now in the area we live at."

Racing with PASS in 2009 will also give Fogleman a chance to return to
many of the tracks he cut his teeth on when he first started racing
Late Model Stocks in the early 1980's.

"A lot of these people going to these races have seen me drive a stock
car from the time I was 15 until now, so it'll be nice for them to be
able to come see you run and not have to go to Florida or New York or
someplace like that," said Fogleman. "We usually have a big fan base
at Orange County and South Boston, all of them are an hour or so from
my house…we're just really looking forward to that."

Jay Fogleman and his racing career have definitely come full
circle,from seeing the demise of Super Late Model racing to its
resurgence with PASS. And, it's a comeback Fogleman does not see
ending any time soon.

"I think the competition level will be as good or better than it's
ever been," said Fogleman. "I know the economy's off a little bit,
but it's bringing a lot of people to PASS. The last couple of years,
it's just gotten bigger and bigger."

The PASS South Super Late Models kick off the 2009 season with their
second trip to the Dillon Motor Speedway on Saturday, March 14th with
the 4th Annual South Carolina Clash. Last year's race was contested
in August and was won by Woodstock, GA's Justin Wakefield. Action
kicks off on Friday, March 13th with gates opening at 1 PM and
practice from 2 PM to 6PM. On Saturday, practice will be from 11 AM
to 1:30 PM, qualifying will be at 2:30 PM, and racing will start at 3
PM. In addition to the PASS South Super Late Models, the South
Carolina Clash will see the debut of the PASS Late Model Trucks. Late
Model Truck regulars from Dillon and throughout the Carolinas will
race for 75 laps in the Nation's newest touring division. Dillon
Motor Speedway is located on SC Highway 9 just off Interstate 95 exit
193. For more information go to dillonmotorspeedway.com or
