PASS South At Orange County
Postponed Due To Severe
Weather
CHARLOTTE, NC (July 19) –
After closely monitoring the
weather for the last 48
hours and with an extremely
poor forecast for Saturday
and Sunday, officials with
the Pro All Stars Series and
Orange County Speedway felt
it best to postpone this
weekend’s “Roads To Oxford &
Richmond” qualifier. With
several teams faced with
long travel from the
Canadian province of
Ontario, and states such as
Florida, Georgia, and
others, and with severe
weather being forecasted for
the Piedmont region of North
Carolina, the decision was
made to postpone today in
the hopes of saving money
for all the teams and fans.
Several dates are currently
being looked at by PASS and
Orange County Speedway
officials to reschedule the
12th Annual Orange Blossom
Special. A final decision
will be announced within a
week. For further updates

CHARLOTTE, NC (July
11) - The only thing hotter
than the temperatures in the
Carolinas right now will be
the action on the track when
the Pro All Stars Series
(PASS) South Super Late
Models return to action at
Orange County Speedway on
Saturday night, July 21. The
Easter Bunny 150 and
Mason-Dixon Meltdown aside,
the Orange Blossom Special
at Orange County is the
oldest event on the PASS
South schedule, dating back
to the series inaugural
season in 2006. But, this
year's race will have added
importance with the top five
finishers gaining guaranteed
starting sports for either
the 45th Annual Oxford 250
or the inaugural PASS
Commonwealth Classic at
Richmond Raceway in October.
In addition to PASS South,
the MASS Street Stocks will
make their first ever visit
to Orange County Speedway,
the Limited Sportsman will
race for $1300 to win in the
Donnie Carver Memorial and
the Charger cars will be in
action.
Tate
Fogleman, from nearby
Durham, NC, is a
third-generation racer and
hometown favorite at Orange
County Speedway. He knows
anything less than a top
five finish in the Orange
Blossom Special will be a
huge missed opportunity to
get locked into either one
of the biggest short track
races of the year.
"Getting locked in for
either Oxford or Richmond is
huge," says Fogleman, driver
of the Solid Rock Carriers
Ford #8. "Knowing you are
locked in relieves a lot of
pressure. Those events will
be hard to make and the
whole weekend will go
smoother knowing that you
will be locked in."
Fogleman has reason to be
confident heading back to
Orange County. Last fall,
the 2015 PASS South champion
completed one of the most
dominant performances in
series history by the taking
the checkered flag at his
home track.
"I always
enjoy going to Orange County
because of the fans I have
there and the support, but
this time will be even more
special because the last
race we ran there, I was
able to pick up the win,"
said Fogleman. "Going back
to a track you have won at
builds a lot of confidence,
not only for myself, but the
whole team. Hopefully we can
build off what we had last
year and find our way back
to victory lane there next
Saturday night."
This
year's "Roads To Oxford And
Richmond" program will see
the race winner get a
guaranteed starting position
at full start money for the
Oxford 250 or at Richmond.
The remaining top five
finishers will be guaranteed
a starting position for
either the Oxford 250 or
Richmond at half start
money.
All the action
gets under way on Friday,
July 20 at Orange County
Speedway with open practice
for all competing divisions
from 5 - 8 PM. On Saturday,
July 21, practice will begin
at 2 PM, with qualifying
starting at 5 PM for the
PASS South Super Late
Models, MASS Street Stocks,
Limited Sportsman, and
Chargers, followed by main
events scheduled to start at
approximately 7 PM.
