NAPLES, ME (January 6) – Coinciding with the series banquet tonight, Pro All Stars Series (PASS) officials announced the release of the 2018 schedule for the PASS North Super Late Models. The Northeast's top short trackers will once again compete at some of the best speedways in New England and Canada, highlighted by the 45thAnnual Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway on the final weekend of August. The season will begin for the third straight year at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park in Connecticut as part of the Icebreaker weekend on April 7-8. PASS will return to Canada in 2018 with a first ever trip to New Brunswick's Petty International Raceway in June. The PASS North Super Late Models will compete on 10 different speedways in 4 states and Canada in 2018.
"We believe this is another really great schedule for the PASS North Super Late Models," said PASS President Tom Mayberry. "This year we will celebrate our 18th year of sanctioning races throughout the United States and Canada and we're glad to begin new partnerships, while continuing to build on old ones. The Oxford 250 has found a home with its August date and has solidified its place as one of short track racing's biggest events and we're glad to continue that tradition in 2018."
The 45th Annual Oxford 250 will continue as one of the crown jewel events in short track racing with racers from all across North America set to compete for $25,000 to win, plus guaranteed lap leader money on August 24-26. The 250 will again cap off a full weekend of short track racing action on the famed Oxford Plains Speedway in Maine's biggest sporting event of the year. Last year, Curtis Gerry took home over $30,000 in his first ever win in the 250.
A final tune-up to the Oxford 250 will take place on Sunday, July 29 at Oxford Plains Speedway.
