Pluffybilt Racing Tractors to Sponsor PASS Sportsman Series
     Two Intense Types of Racing Come Together for 2008


Saco, Maine (March 31, 2008) A true racer will try to get the best performance out of anything that they get behind the wheel of, whether it is a race car, their street vehicle or even a lawn tractor.

The next step after just going fast is to get another racer also pushing the limits. When you have that, you have yourself a race…and soon a racing series.

So it is only natural that one of the fastest growing racing tours in New England has joined forces with one of the most unique and hardcore racing entities out there. In 2008, the Pro ALL Stars Series (PASS) Sportsman Series will be backed by Pluffybilt Racing Tractors.

In just one season, the PASS Sportsman Series has already become known for its close competition, high car counts and ability to attract weekly competitors from many area tracks to touring series events. In the same time, Pluffybilt Racing Tractors has been part of a movement that has taken Southern Maine motorsports by storm with bi-weekly lawnmower racing as part of the North Saco Lawn Mower Racing Association league in North Saco, Maine.

Pluffybilt was founded in 2007 by Bruce Plouffe and former SP2 Motorsports team owners Scott Pullen and Steve Perry, to field a team of racing tractors for the North Saco races. The team, which is also referred to as SP2 Mowersports, is housed in the same shop where stock cars driven by Mike Rowe, Kyle Busch and Brad Leighton were once prepared.

Now, among the trophies for PASS Super Late Model race wins up and down the East Coast, sits a gaggle of racing lawnmowers. In 2007, Team Pluffybilt fielded a total of twelve different mowers that won five feature events and took the top two positions in the stock division series championship, with Perry winning the series championship by a slight margin over Plouffe.

Plouffe is no stranger to stock car racing. He has been a fan of the sport for years and is now excited to become more involved in it.

“After being able to present the trophies for the Pullen Heavy Industries PASS Sportsman race at Beech Ridge in the fall, I wanted to become more involved with the series,” said Plouffe. “PASS has a great group of competitors, officials and fans in all of its divisions and I know how competitive this particular division is. We’re very proud to team up for this year.”

And with racers being racers, the link between PASS racing and the lawnmower events is a close one. In September, a special PASS drivers lawnmower race was held for charity. A roster of drivers that included Mike Rowe, Ben Rowe, Cassius Clark, Johnny Clark, Richie Dearborn, Scott Chubbuck, Alan Tardiff, Chris Kennison and Tony Ricci all showed up to compete.

“When guys like the Rowes and the Clarks came out to run an exhibition lawnmower race, that really got people talking about what we do,” said Plouffe. “We were really proud too that when Mike Rowe won that night, he did it on a Pluffybilt Tractor.

The weekly lawnmower races also have a racing connection. Team owners Steve Perry, Scott Pullen and Mike Lux all competed in the series in 2007, along with a number of weekly Beech Ridge Motor Speedway competitors.

Mike Rowe could also be found driving the pace tractor at the races on several occasions.

The Pluffybilt Racing Tractors PASS Sportsman Series will start its 2008 season on April 19th at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine.

PASS Sportsman Back On Track for 2008

Naples ME - After a remarkable inaugural season the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Pullen Heavy Industries Sportsman division will return in 2008 with a seven race confirmed schedule that will see the popular class in action at four Maine and New Hampshire speedways.

Their 2008 campaign gets underway on April 19th at Beech Ridge Speedway, and returns to the Scarborough Maine oval on September 19-21 for the big PASS 400 weekend. Sportsman racers will make the drive to Speedway 95 on May 3rd for their only 2008 appearance at the Hermon Maine speed plant. Two trips to Wiscasset (ME) Raceway are on tap for June 15th and August 17th.  All Star Speedway in Epping NH rounds out the confirmed schedule with a June 27th date. The season's grand finale championship event will be on October 11th at Riverside Speedway in Groveton, NH.

Seventy-six racers attempted to qualify for one or more PASS Sportsman division events in 2007, a tremendous turnout for a new touring series by any measure. But PASS President Tom Mayberry wasn't surprised by the popularity of the new division, or by the level of competition it provided." Honestly, I think some of the best racers in the northeast race this type of car at their home tracks," said Mayberry," and I felt that they deserved to get out to a few new tracks to showcase their talents. The Sportsman division provided some of the closest competition of any PASS division in 2007, and I expect more of the same for 2008."

The 2008 PASS Sportsman division rules are available now by visiting www.proallstarsseries.com. For further information contact Scott Reed at 207-625-3230 between the hours of 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM.

PULLEN Sportsman Put On an All Star Show at All-Star

 

(Naples, ME – October 6, 2007)   The PASS Sportsman cars rolled out for their 75-lap feature with the 35X of Kris Watson and the #40 of Mike Landry on the front row with points leaders Dan McKeage in the #38 and Jerry Harrison in the #48H in the second row.

 

Things change quickly in PASS Sportsman racing, and before they made it to turn two Watson pushed up taking Landry and Harrison high with him, and McKeage was the leader by the time they hit the backstretch. Several cars, including Landry, had to pit.

 

McKeage and Harrison were out front with Justin Karkos in the #18 settling in at third. Everything changed again on lap 14 when McKeage had a flat right front in front of the entire field sending everyone scrambling to avoid the slowing #38.  On the restart, it was Karkos and Landry with Harrison and the #03 of local All Star competitor Tony Carroll right behind.

 

At the 25 lap mark, it was Landry in cruise control, Harrison, the #47 of Nate Weston, the #35 of Bobby Nadeau, the #55X of Kurt Hewins fifth.  At lap 47, the “Traveling Man” Pete Fiandaca in his legendary #135 orange coupe went around in turn three bringing out the yellow.

 

At the 50 lap mark, it was still Landry out front in the great looking #40, followed by Weston, Harrison, Carroll, the 2007 All Star Speedway Super Street Champion Ron Bolduc in the #95 after battling his way into the top five, and McKeage back up to sixth after visiting the pits.

 

The first shower of the night hit on lap 60 bringing out a yellow, but the cars kept the track dry and after a 15 minute delay they went back green for the finish. Weston tried Landry on the outside for several laps, but the #40 was too strong and Weston was forced to fall in line ahead of Harrison, McKeage, Bolduc, and Carroll.

 

McKeage was strong on the outside, and over the last ten laps passed Harrison for third and added two points to his lead going into the season finale on Sunday afternoon October 14th at White Mountain Motorsports Park, N., Woodstock, NH as part of the big two-day PASS Championship Weekend.

 

Landry took the checkers at lap 75, followed by Weston, McKeage, Harrison, Bolduc, and Carroll.

SPORTSMEN SHOW UP IN FORCE AT UNITY on 6/17

Everywhere that you looked in the pit area at Unity, there were PASS Pullen Heavy Industries Sportsmen cars. There were enough cars to run two consi races and in the second event ever for the tour, the future is looking bright.

Just like in the series’ inaugural race at Speedway 95 earlier this year, Dan McKeage was the race winner. This time, he finished ahead of Nate Weston, Mike Clark and Joey Doiron.

Doiron’s top five was particularly impressive. The teenager is a rookie in the Sports Series at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway (ME) and decided on Sunday morning to come to Unity and make his PASS debut without the extra day of practice that most teams enjoyed on Saturday afternoon.

PASS Welcomes Pullen Heavy Industries as
Title Sponsor for the New Sportsman Series

(Naples, ME) - The Pro All Stars Series is proud to announce Pullen Heavy Industries of Saco, Maine as the title sponsor for our new Sportsman Series for the 2007 season. PASS is excited to have Pullen Heavy Industries on board for all the activities they have planned for 2007 and is looking forward to continuing the relationship with the entire Pullen team.

Pullen Heavy Industries specializes in any needs you may have for aggregate materials, bank sand, crushed stone/gravel, screened loam and ¾” reclaim asphalt is also available. They serve both commercial and residential customers. Delivery is also available. Pullen Heavy Industries is located at 54 New County Road, Saco, Maine 04072; call 207-283-4311 for information or to place an order.

“Having started my racing career in this type of racecar, it made me want to do something to show my support towards this division,” said Scott Pullen, owner of Pullen Heavy Industries. To show his support he has, not only come on board as the Title Sponsor for the Sportsman Series, he has also offered contingency awards at each of the seven (7) races this year. He is sponsoring a weekly Hardcharger Award for the amount of $100.00. The Hardcharger award will be awarded to the driver that improves the most positions from his original starting spot by the end of the race. He is also sponsoring a weekly award for the driver that leads the most laps in a feature event in the amount of $100.00.

“This is where a lot of today’s Super Late Model drivers began their careers, so hopefully some of the next batch of the SLM drivers will come from this division,” said Scott. Most of the drivers from this division have in fact, come from racing their local track week in and week out. The PASS 400 weekend at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway (Scarborough, Maine) September 22nd and 23rd has become a staple among the Pro All Stars Series Schedule, offering great racing over the course of the weekend in all the different divisions. This is one reason Pullen Heavy Industries is looking forward to being the title sponsor for the Sportsman race on the great weekend.

The way the schedule was designed for 2007 it will allow for most drivers to race both the Sportsman Series and run for the Championship at their local track. With that possibility, Pullen Heavy Industries has also put out an award, totaling $500.00, for the driver who can win two championships in 2007. One requirement is that the driver must win the PASS Sportsman Series championship and win a championship in any other division at their local track. For instance if the champion in the PASS Sportsman Series is also the champion at his local track in any division, he would earn this special bonus. This is a big deal for many drivers and also for Pullen Heavy Industries. They have stepped up in a big way for 2007 and PASS is thrilled to have them on board.

The Pullen Heavy Industries Sportsman Series kicks off its 2007 season on May 27th at Speedway 95 located in Hermon, Maine. Remember, the Pro All Stars Series opens the 2007 season at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway on April 21.
