PASS will rock North Wilkesboro
with Megabuck Super Late Model race in 2011 January 7,
2010 Pro All Stars Series (PASS) President Tom Mayberry is pleased to announce that
the Pro All Stars Series will promote and sanction a 300 lap super late model race at
Historic North Wilkesboro (NC) Speedway on April 7.8 and 9, 2011. The winner
of this unprecedented showdown for asphalt short trackers is guaranteed a minimum of
$75,000.00. The event is tentatively set as a PASS South points race. Im
pleased that the partners at North Wilkesboro Speedway have agreed to present this
historic short track event, said Mayberry. We are announcing the race prior
to the start of our 2010 PASS North and South schedules because we are building some
additional bonuses into the purse for PASS competitors, including guaranteed starting
positions for the top 15 in our final 2010 North and South point standings and an
additional $25,000.00 winners bonus for the teams that choose to run all of our 2010 point
races in either series, plus four of the PASS national events. Thats a $100,000.00 pay day for the race
winner if they are a PASS regular, and a 20 percent bonus across the board for every
starting position.. We also have an intermediate bonus plan that will see the winners
share grow from $75,000.00 to $82,500.00 if he or she competes in any combination of ten
PASS North or South events in 2010, plus a ten percent bonus from the base purse for every
starting position. A PASS license is required
to qualify for the bonus plans, but the base purse of over $153,000.00 will be enough to
attract the cream of the crop from all over the USA and Canada to challenge our regulars. Thirty two
cars will qualify for the 300 lap feature through time trials and qualifying races.
Guaranteed starters and provisionals will be added to the field as needed. PASS
anticipates a starting field of 40-plus for whats bound to be the marquee super late
model event of 2011. I see
the April 2011 PASS race at North Wilkesboro as an opportunity to showcase super late
model racers at one of the countrys historic short tracks The incentives Ive
developed are a means to encourage teams to race with PASS in 2010 as well, continued Mayberry. I feel that its a
great way to say thank you to the short track racers that are the backbone of our sport. Complete
details on this record breaking short track event will be posted at www.proallstarsseries.com in the days to come. Youll find Historic
North Wilkesboro Speedway on line at www.historicnws.com . The Pro All
Stars Series gets 2010 underway at New Smyrna (FL) Speedway on January 29-30 with the PASS
Winterfest 150, round one of the 2010 PASS National Championship Series. |
