“I think fans will really enjoy this weekend’s race with the early start and beautiful weather throughout the region right now. Everyone will be able to get out to the track early and do some lunch time tailgating if they want and then watch some of the best super late model drivers in the country at one of the nicest tracks we go to as a series and still be home that night to do something else if they want,” stated Pro All Stars Series President Tom Mayberry.
Race fans won’t be the only ones looking forward to the early start. PASS South competitors such as Tim Pinion, driver of the #42 Commonwealth Building Materials Dodge whose home track happens to be the South Boston Speedway, is equally excited about the 150 laps under the blue skies of southern Virginia.
“I think racing during the day will be a great experience for the fans at South Boston because sometimes in March the nights can still be quite cool. Obviously it presents a few different challenges for the teams because we are use to racing at night, but that’s just part of racing,” added Pinion.
While racing during daylight hours in the series second race of the young season may be the topic of discussion for some drivers, others will be hoping to bounce back from disappointing results at the Dillon Motor Speedway two weeks ago. Coulter Motorsports teammates Craig Goess and Gray Gaulding are both looking for redemption at South Boston after getting involved in a lap four crash two weeks ago. Ross Kenseth, son of 2012 Dayton 500 winner Matt Kenseth, is also looking forward to hitting the 4/10th mile track after finishing outside the top ten at Dillon.
With both South Boston winners from a year ago not expected to be in attendance, the door is wide open for a new winner. Veteran racers Jay Fogleman and Preston Peltier, neither of which had stellar results a season ago at the track, will be looking to change their personal history a bit. Brandon Ward, Bradley McCaskill, David Quakenbush, and David Latour, who will be making his super late model debut at the track after having competed in the late model stock car division there in recent years, all have filed entries for this Saturday’s race.
