CHARLOTTE, NC (December 24) – There are many things that need to fall into place in order for a series to grow. In addition to garnering fan support, you have to have places to race and drivers that want to race. In each of the first two seasons of the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model division, the schedule was comprised of eight races each season. Through a process of trial-and-error, some tracks have proved to be better venues than others for the 600 horsepower “monsters” that compete in PASS South. The 2008 season will go down as a time when it was time to grow and expand. The PASS South schedule was expanded to 12 races. Of those 12 races, six were contested at tracks that PASS South had never competed on. Expanding on the theme of growth, numerous drivers came to PASS South either on a part-time or full-time basis that had never raced with the nation’s top short track series.

2008 PASS South Rewind: Hard Luck Drivers
CHARLOTTE, NC (December 9) – Obviously we when look back at the 2008 season for the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Models, we look back at what were the high points: Alex Haase’s three wins and the championship, Justin Wakefield winning two straight, PASS North regular Trevor Sanborn’s sweep at Orange County, and John Stancill challenging for the National championship in his rookie season. But, this week, we look back at 2008’s “hard luck” drivers. Drivers that helped make the 2008 PASS South season a success just by being there. At the same time, challenging for the championship and wins, while not quite being able to get there.
