Sun. November 2nd 150 Lap PASS SLM  -  125 Lap Tour Mod 100 Lap South East Limited 35 Lap USAC Midgets Race 1:30 PM BELL - MOORE - MEASAMER Ryan Moore Survives Wild Last Lap for North-South Shootout Win at Caraway SOPHIA, NC (November 2) - Scarborough, Maine's Ryan Moore survived an intense late race battle with Christopher Bell to secure his first career Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model win in the 12th Annual North-South Shootout Sunday afternoon at Caraway Speedway. Moore was able to take advantage of an opportunity when Bell appeared to make contact with his Kyle Busch Motorsports teammate Karl Weber's machine while trying to put him a lap down, which resulted in a slow leak on Bell's right front tire. Bell tried to furiously to protect the inside groove as Moore closed in over the final laps, with the two cars making contact entering turn three on the last lap, sending Bell up the track and Moore to victory lane. "I couldn't run the 52 [Bell] down so I decided I would save my tires and take care of it and I knew we were gonna catch lap traffic and I caught him," said Moore, alongside the RC Moore Transportation Chevrolet afterwards. "I hate he had to tear my car up there on the last lap, but he was going for the win too. It was an exciting trip down the backstretch I can tell you that. I didn't know if we were both gonna wreck or what was gonna happen. It was a fun race." FULL RACE PAGE with RESULTS/PHOTOS HERE

"This is just unbelievable to come out here and run with John Hunter Nemechek and all of these guys and come out on top," said Bell after scoring the win in his PASS South Super Late Model debut. "I can't thank all of my guys enough. They took me racing for the first time a few weeks ago and I really struggled. But, they believed in me and stuck with me and now here we are."

"I don't know what it is about this place, but we've got a really good setup and the breaks just seem to fall our way in the end." FULL RACE PAGE with RESULTS/PHOTOS HERE

The win was Peltier’s first since winning the 2013 Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory Motor Speedway and pushed his PASS South career wins total to 11, tops among all drivers. “Man, I tell ya, I just drove as hard as I could and these guys never stopped believing in me,” said Peltier after his first ever PASS South win at Southern National. “I hope he [Church] isn’t mad at me, I didn’t give him any room that’s for sure.

Hemric Edges Burton With Late Surge For Greenville Firecracker 125 Win EASLEY, SC (July 3) - Daniel Hemric made what has become an almost characteristic late race surge to pass rookie Harrison Burton with four laps to go and claim the win in the 8th running of the Firecracker 125 Thursday night at Greenville-Pickens Speedway. Hemric’s sixth career Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model win was tempered, however, when a car he owned, driven by Denver Foran stopped on the track to bring out a caution with 22 laps to go. PASS officials deemed that Foran intentionally stopped on the speedway to bring out the caution. Foran has been suspended indefinitely by PASS for attempting to manipulate the outcome of the race and Hemric has been fined and placed on probation for the remainder of the season. “Hats off to Carswell Motorsports, to do this four times this year is just unbelievable for me and the whole team,” said Hemric, after sweeping both PASS events at Greenville-Pickens Speedway this year. “We get so strung out here and I was hoping we would be 9th or 10th when that last caution came out with 25 laps to go. When they said we were 18th I got a little worried, but everything worked out.” FULL RACE PAGE with RESULTS/PHOTOS HERE

Saturday, June 7th - 7 PM Timm Outlasts Peltier For 1st Career PASS South Win At South Boston SOUTH BOSTON, VA (June 7) – Cole Timm wrestled the lead away from his racing mentor Preston Peltier coming to the white flag and held on to win his first career Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model race Saturday night at Virginia’s South Boston Speedway. Timm’s victory came as a surprise to few since the 15-year-old driver has been knocking on the door as of late finishing second in two of the last seven PASS South events dating back to last year. “I’ve never driven that many hard laps in my life and as hard as I drove, I still messed up that last restart and let him [Peltier] get by me, but luckily we had that high line going and we were able to get back by and pull it off,” said Timm afterwards in victory lane.

All three of Hemric’s PASS South triumphs this year have come after late race rallies that have seen him take the lead with 12 or fewer laps left to go in each race. “Without a little luck on your side you can never get one of these things, these races are so hard to win now,” said Hemric, after becoming the first multiple time winner in 7 PASS South events at Southern National. “The cautions fell right so we could show the fans what we had left. It’s just an honor to be a part of this deal and hopefully we can come back and do it again soon.” FULL RACE PAGE with RESULTS/PHOTOS HERE

PASS Cancels New Smyrna Event; Greenville To Open PASS National, South, & Pro Late Model Seasons CHARLOTTE, NC (February 1) - Due to circumstances out of their control and with great disappointment, Pro All Stars Series (PASS) officials announced today the cancellation of next weekend's Winter Meltdown at New Smyrna Speedway. Miscommunication which resulted in the speedway website not being updated with information about the event, the speedway marquee not being changed to promote the event and a test session scheduled by the speedway that would have extremely limited PASS teams practice time on Friday led to the cancellation. For any teams that pre-entered for the Winter Meltdown, those entries will be refunded and mailed out on Monday. Any teams that would like to transfer entries to the Greenville-Pickens Speedway event on March 1 need to contact the PASS offices by Monday. "We are extremely disappointed in having to cancel the Winter Meltdown at New Smyrna Speedway," said PASS President Tom Mayberry. "I know that this is very inconvenient for our teams that have prepared their cars and booked travel to Florida, but we felt this decision was best in light of the circumstances. With that said, we're very excited to kick our season off at Greenville-Pickens on March 1." The Fox Carolina 150 at Greenville-Pickens Speedway on March 1 will now become a PASS National Championship Series event and will also serve as the opener for the PASS South Super Late Models and PASS Pro Late Models. The Pro All Stars Series is recognized as North America's premier sanctioning body for asphalt Super Late Models and boasts such marquee events as PASS South's Easter Bunny 150 at the historic Hickory Motor Speedway, the Autobus La Quebecoise Triple Crown at Autodrome Chaudière, and the legendary Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway.

PASS Pro Late Models: Perimeter Or Straight Rail – Which Will Take The Title In 2014? CHARLOTTE, NC (January 23) – Since its inception in 2012, the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Pro Late Model division has been all about creating another avenue for up-and-coming racers to take their next steps up the racing ladder. But, it has also been about inclusion. A division where a straight rail chassis, like the PASS South Super Late Models, or a perimeter chassis, those mainly utilized by Late Model Stock racers, can compete together on a level playing field. And the results speak for themselves. In the inaugural season for the PASS Pro Late Model division in 2012, perimeters and straight rails went head-to-head. Veteran Clay Thomas won the series first ever race at Dillon Motor Speedway and Lexington, SC’s Austin Leitner had multiple wins en route to the championship. Both while driving perimeter machines. Along the way, youngsters like Tate Fogelman and Cole Timm showed their prowess with wins driving straight rails. Last year, Trevor Noles and Harrison Burton dominated the division also driving straight rails. So, which combination will come out on top in 2014? The PASS Pro Late Model division utilizes a limited tire usage rule and places restrictions on engines and shocks. The division provides an avenue for racers to compete at many of the same tracks that the PASS South Super Late Models compete on. The PASS Pro Late Models will race 13 times in conjunction with the PASS South Super Late Model division this year. Also in 2014, the Ford McGunegill crate engine has been made legal for competition. Additionally, former UARA-STARS Late Model competitors are invited to compete with the PASS Pro Late Models with minor modifications to their machines. The Pro All Stars Series is recognized as North America’s premier sanctioning body for asphalt Super Late Models and boasts such marquee events as the Florida Winter Meltdown at New Smyrna Speedway, the Easter Bunny 150 at the historic Hickory Motor Speedway, the Autobus La Qubecoise Triple Crown at Autodrome Chaudiere, and the legendary Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway.
