BAR HARBOR BANK & TRUST TO SPONSOR THE OXFORD 250!
Naples ME - June 4th - Officials at the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) and Oxford Plains Speedway (OPS) are thrilled to announce Bar Harbor Bank & Trust has agreed to be the title partner for the 51st annual Oxford 250. The Bar Harbor Bank & Trust Oxford 250 is known as one of the biggest short track races in the country and will be contested on August 25th 2024.

Bar Harbor Bank & Trust has been serving the financial needs of Northern New England residents and businesses since it was founded in 1887. Recognized by Forbes as one of the "World's Best Banks" for multiple years, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust offers a full range of personal and business banking services and wealth management services through its subsidiary, Bar Harbor Wealth Management. Bar Harbor Bank & Trust provides the technology offerings and capabilities you would expect from a larger bank, as well as a personal approach to banking that customers desire, including a full-service network of more than 50 branches and 90 ATMs across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.

"As an award-winning bank, we understand the commitment and hard work it takes to take the checkered flag, which is why we are proud to sponsor the 51st Annual Oxford 250," said Joseph Schmitt, SVP, Chief Marketing Officer at Bar Harbor Bank & Trust. "The Oxford 250 is one of the world's best short track races, and we look forward to an exciting day of racing on August 25."

Starting off as a 200 lap event in 1974 won by Joey Kourafas, the Oxford 250 quickly morphed into the biggest one day short track race in America that every racer dreamed of winning. Nationally known racers like Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Ricky Craven, and Bubba Pollard have won previous editions of the crown jewel, while many others like Jeff Gordon, Kenny Wallace, and Brothers Bobby and Terry Labonte have attempted. Home track advantage often provides a needed edge for drivers like Mike Rowe, Dave Dion, and Ralph Nason who have all etched their name on the trophy multiple times throughout their illustrious careers.

With $25,000 plus lap money up for grabs, 49 of the best drivers in the country have already entered the 51st annual Bar Harbor Bank & Trust Oxford 250. To see the current and up to date list please go the Pro All Stars Series Website at www.proallstarsseries.com

Lap Leader Programs Open for the
Oxford 250 & All That’s Metal 300
2024 OXFORD 250 LAP BOARD
 2024 COA 300 LAP BOARD
Oxford, ME and Naples, ME -- Officials at Oxford Plains Speedway (OPS) and the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) announced today that the popular lap leader programs are officially open for their two marquis events in 2024, the Oxford 250 and the All That's Metal Celebration of America 300. The Oxford 250 will have the traditional $100 laps while the 300 will feature $50 lap sponsorships up for grabs. Those wishing to participate will be given the option of the same laps in both races when available.

The lap leader program was introduced in the 1981 Oxford 250 as a way to add a unique twist to the strategy of a long distance race. The initial program paid $50 per lap to the leader, before growing to $100 per lap in 1984 and where it has stayed since that time. This year's early January opening marks earliest launch ever for the lap leader program.

"With two big events at Oxford this year we wanted to get a jump start on filling up these laps," Said PASS President Tom Mayberry. "These programs are a good way to add in some strategy to a long distance race and in some cases there are some low budget teams that earn a great payday by leading a bunch of laps, which really helps them."
Every single lap of the past two Oxford 250s were sold for the 49th and 50th annual edition of the late summer classic, and officials with OPS and PASS hope to accomplish the feat again for both of these races in 2024.

Laps sponsors are made available to businesses for advertising purposes, so those sponsoring 3 lap blocks or more are able to include a logo and number or link on the leaderboards. Oxford 250 laps at $100 will go directly to the leader of that lap while the $50 laps for the 300 will see $25 to the leader $25 to help support the purse.

Laps are also offered to individuals who wish to send a message of support to their favorite driver, celebrate a birthday, or even in memory of a loved one. All lap sponsors are displayed on the OPS and PASS websites and in person at the speedway with a billboard in the main concourse.

To sponsor a lap or many, contact Mary between 9am and 7pm at 207-693-6497 or Kevin at 207-577-1836.

Dec, 27 - Naples, ME - Officials at the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) provided an update today on the new "Bottle Cap Crate" engine option that will be available for all PASS competitors for the 2024 season. The "Bottle Cap Crate" option was rolled out to competitors in early November and sales have been brisk.

PASS President Tom Mayberry commented about the new engine package option, "We are really. really happy with the initial round of orders for these motors. We have already had 15 or 16 teams order an engine, and we are getting calls and emails almost every day for more."

Each engine purchased through the PASS sealed engine program comes straight from GM to the PASS approved engine builder, LCM Racing Engines, for a dyno break-in and test. LCM sets the timing, performs a 4-hour break-in procedure, and then seals each motor with TWO PASS-specific seals registered with the sanctioning body. Teams simply provide their own fuel pump and distributor and then can pick up a race ready engine to drop into their cars and go.

"We felt like it was important to provide a good break-in procedure to verify that each engine is performing at its optimum level when it leaves the LCM Engine Shop," Said Mayberry. "LCM has agreed to do this at a discounted rate so we can keep the total cost to teams under $10k."

Teams running the "Bottle Cap Crate"  option will be afforded a 25 lb. weight break at every track on the PASS schedule, with additional breaks at Thompson and New Hampshire Motor Speedway TBD.
Mayberry went on to say there will be another order placed with GM within the next month or so to accommodate the ever growing interest for both the PASS tour and weekly competition at Oxford Plains Speedway.

The 602 "Bottle Cap"  crate motor option for PASS MODS was also rolled out less than a month ago and interest has been high there as well. "We had one driver order one right away, and we have had several more calls from drivers in need of a fresh motor who want to order very soon," said Mayberry. "PASS MODS race a little less than the SLM's so an engine may last a team a little longer. But as they wear out, it's a great way for them to get a sealed motor and get a weight break. It's the same engine they are already running, just with a seal so we know it has not been tampered with."

Barre, VT & Naples, ME -- Officials from the American-Canadian Tour (ACT) and Pro All Stars Series (PASS) announced on Wednesday that with the continued support and numerous calls fielded by the two organizations for the new Sunoco 604 Modified Division at Thompson Speedway, the new division has been added to the Northeast Classic line-up for Saturday, April 13th at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Both ACT Managing Partner Cris Michaud and PASS President Tom Mayberry have received numerous calls and hosted multiple conversations with teams across Southern New England looking to support the new Sunoco 604 Modified division at Thompson Speedway in 2024. At the Thompson banquet last Friday, SK Light Modified champion Alexander Pearl stated his intentions to field a 604 Modified at times during the season, as did Sunoco Modified champion Troy Talman.

The 604 Modifieds now join the Thunder and Lightning of New England at the Northeast Classic with the American-Canadian Tour, PASS Super Late Models and Open Tour-type Modifieds. The R&R Race Parts NH Street Stock Series also returns to New Hampshire Motor Speedway as officials continue to lock down planning for the weekend over the coming weeks.

"With the support we're getting, Cris and I wanted to show our commitment to the 604 Modifieds," said PASS President Tom Mayberry. "I know we're both excited for the venture, and it seems many teams are as well so showcasing them at Loudon became a no-brainer as this idea continues to gain traction this winter."

ACT and PASS will release a full division line-up and Northeast Classic forms for teams in the coming weeks. The 4th annual Northeast Classic at New Hampshire Motor Speedway will once again showcase the biggest and best full-fendered and open-wheel stars of the Northeast on its biggest stage! Saturday, April 13th will launch the 2024 American-Canadian Tour championship season as the Pro All Stars Series is coming off the Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory Motor Speedway and the 50th Icebreaker Weekend at Thompson Speedway.

PASS Releases 2024 Schedules
For All Three Touring Series

Naples ME -- Officials with the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) announced schedules for their Super Late Model division, the New England Super Modifieds (NESS), and the PASS MODS. Forty points-paying dates from April to October spread across the three touring series highlight a busy 2024 campaign for the premier sanctioning body in the Northeast. The PASS SLM tour will have 16 race dates in four different states, plus a pair of races on March 15th and 16th at Hickory Motor Speedway in North Carolina. The high-powered NESS series will contest 12 races, with as many as four more to be added to the schedule in coming months. PASS Mods will compete in a 12-race series throughout the season and all three tours will play a major role in the 51st annual Oxford 250.

"This is the majority of our schedule for 2024," said PASS president Tom Mayberry. "There are a few other things we are looking at that will come out soon, but we wanted to get schedules out as quickly as possible so teams can make their plans."

Pro All Stars Series Super Late Models
The 16 race PASS North Super Late Model points schedule will be highlighted by the 51st annual Oxford 250, a 4th straight trip to New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and the return of Star Speedway to the schedule.

One other new addition that is catching the ear of many and creating a buzz is the special Celebration of America with a 300-lap contest slated for Tuesday July 2nd and Wednesday July 3rd at Oxford Plains Speedway (OPS), paying a staggering $40,000 to win. Additionally, Sunday May 5th will feature a 100-lap qualifier to that 300 lap contest slated for early July.

"We wanted to add another really big premier race to our schedule and we couldn't think of a better time to do it then around the 4th of July week so fans and people could come and camp and enjoy some top-notch racing in a mid-week program," said Mayberry. He went on to point out that the SLM's would be dormant the following weekend, giving teams a chance to spend a weekend away from the track if they chose.

PASS also makes its return to Star Speedway on June 22nd and a second visit on September 13th as a part of the Star Classic weekend. Also on the schedule are two visits to Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park for the Icebreaker in April and the World Series in October, three visits to popular While Mountain Motorsports Park, four other visits to series hub OPS, and single visits to Seekonk Speedway and Thunder Road Speedbow. One other change is the annual PASS 400 weekend at Oxford Plains Speedway will also become THREE separate points paying races and purses.

The traditional trip to Hickory Motor Speedway for a pair of 150 lap contests will kick off the racing season March 15th and 16th. While this pair of races is not a part of the PASS North points schedule, it will be a part of the SLM National schedule which will be finalized at a later time.

"We tried to keep a good balance of races while being mindful of travel but at the same time getting to the tracks that seem to be most popular for teams," said Mayberry.

New England Supermodified Series
NESS 2024 Information Page

The New England Supermodified Series is set to embark on its third season in 2024 with a 12-race schedule, plus a possible four more dates that build upon the last two successful years. With car counts climbing and interest at an all-time high, this is the year for the upstart series to make some moves forward. NESS will also boast two big races on their schedule with a visit to Star Speedway for the legendary Star Classic, along with a $10,000 to win race slated for July 3rd at Oxford Plains Speedway.

"After two years of steady growth we thought it was time to shake things up a little bit and give the NESS Series a couple of big races," said Mayberry. "We are really pleased with the progress, and interest is increasing every month."

The 12 race NESS schedule will see three trips each to Oxford Plains Speedway and White Mountain Motorsports Park. Also on the schedule will be a pair of races at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park, Star Speedway, and Thunder Road Speedbowl in Vermont. Mayberry went on to point out, "While we wanted to expand the schedule a little bit, we also still wanted to be mindful of travel and expenses. NESS was founded on a principal of cost control so we always need to stay near our home base and with mostly single day shows."

Standing tall in the NESS schedule is the September 14th date at Star Speedway for the 59th annual Star Classic. NESS will make its first appearance at the race that is rich in big block Supermodified racing history. Well-known drivers like Bentley Warren and Russ Wood boast victories at the tight 1/4 mile track in Epping New Hampshire.
Additionally, the July 3rd race at Oxford Plains Speedway will carry a $10,000 to win purse as the NESS series participate in the 1st annual 300 mid-week special at the famed, tricky 3/8 mile oval in Oxford.

Four dates are still TBD and may be added at a later time. July 2 and August 23rd are being evaluated as potential additional races for the series giving the NESS tour a pair of back-to-back race dates.

With the balance of the schedule slated for Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park, White Mountain Motorsports Park, and Thunder Road Speedbowl, the NESS series has cornered the market in unique and renowned venues in the Northeast.

PASS MODS
The PASS MODS series will enter its 21st season with a 12-race schedule that keeps the touring series a bit closer to home base then in recent years. 2024 will see a pair of races at popular White Mountain Motorsports Park, two races at Star Speedway for the first time in many years, a visit to Thunder Road Speedbowl and the balance anchored by home track Oxford Plains Speedway. The series will also increase purses again for the second time in the last 12 months with 11 races paying $1000 to win. The PASS MODS will also boast their own stand-alone 100 lap race paying a $2000 to win on July 6th at OPS as they will be the headline division at the Route 26 oval that night.

"We really want to focus on building car counts back to where they were a couple seasons ago," said PASS President Tom Mayberry. "By keeping the series to 12 races and limiting travel along with another purse increase, we feel like that will help some of the part time teams run a full schedule in 2024."

The PASS MODS series has become a popular landing ground for young up-and-comers to learn their craft, while some of the veterans nearing the conclusion of their career find the PASS MODS a nice place to compete. With the 12-race schedule featuring either 1/4 mile high-banked tracks or the sweeping turns of the 3/8 mile OPS, it allows teams to be able to compete with minimal gear ratios and thus saves teams money. Further, the lack of any mid-week races and all the events being single day shows means teams do not have to worry about hotels and days off from work, making the series a real working man's tour.

Mayberry went on to say, "We have gotten some really good support from sponsors like Kennebec Equipment Rental and Weston Automotive along with others that have allowed us another purse bump. We thought pairing that up with reduced travel, a big race, and less gear changes would help teams save money and also try to make some trips they didn't in years past."
