DID YOU KNOW?

·         Austin Theriault won the PASS South Series South Carolina Clash 150 at Dillon Motor Speedway on March 9 to become the first Brad Keselowski Racing development program driver to win a race since Landon Cling won at South Boston Speedway on June 9, 2012.

·         Austin Theriault hasn't finished outside the Top-10 in each of the last five PASS-sanctioned Super Late Model races he's entered. Prior to the South Carolina Clash 150 win, he was victorious in a family-owned car in the PASS North Series season finale at Oxford Plains Speedway in October of 2012.

·         Austin Theriault added the Racing Radios 125 at Gresham Motorsports Park to his schedule in order to get more track time in advance of the prestigious World Crown 300 at the facility on July 4. Along with the Snowball Derby, All-American 400 and Winchester 400, the World Crown 300 is part of the “Grand Slam” of Super Late Model racing.

·         Austin Theriault made his first PASS North Series start of the season last weekend at Oxford Plains Speedway and finished ninth in a family-owned car. He will return to the PASS North Series on May 4 for a 150-lap event at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway.

 

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING

AUSTIN THERIAULT, Driver of the Brad Keselowski Racing No. 29 Checkered Flag Foundation Ford Fusion, On returning to Gresham Motorsports Park this weekend: “We've struggled a little bit there in the past, but our main focus is going to be trying to find speed. In the past, that's where we were lacking – just being able to find speed in the car. It's important to be able to carry speed through the center of the corner. Because it has a whole bunch of grip and there's so much banking, it you really have to be able to get through those turns quickly.

“It's a really fast track, and there's a lot of grip. I'm looking forward to getting back there with the BKR team. We've had some good runs lately, and we're looking to kind of rebound after some of our struggles at Nashville (on April 6). It's going to be at the same tire we were on at Nashville, so hopefully we can figure that out and use that race as a test for the World Crown 300 coming up. It's one of the bigger races of the year.”

On how he balances trying to win with trying to prepare for a prestigious race later in the season at the same track: “You go to every race with the intention to win, but sometimes you have to balance risk and reward. It's probably best to risk more in a race where there's not as much on the line. If something's not going to work, it's better to find out earlier than later when there is more on the line.”

On whether the team is at a point where he feels it's capable of winning every week: “Yeah, I think we got to that point early on in the year and we haven't looked back. We've fought through a lot that last year would have been a struggle to fight through. That's what makes a winning team – being able fight through the difficult parts of what comes with racing.”

 

UP NEXT

Austin Theriault heads back to Maine to join the PASS North Series for the Southern Maine Chrysler Dodge Jeep 150 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, on Saturday, May 4... Theriault has never made a PASS North Series start at Beech Ridge, though he did collect his first career ACT Late Model Tour victory at the track in July of 2012.

Cassius Clark Gets 2013 Started Off Right with Victory in Ripley and Fletcher Ford 150 PASS North Event

Dixon, Pastore and Hammar Also Win on Sunday at Oxford Plains Speedway


Oxford, Maine (4-21-13) - One year ago, the #77 Hight Motorsports team with driver Cassius Clark were looking for their first PASS North Super Late Model victory.  They got that win in the season's third event and advanced to the role of title contenders by the end of the season.  Clark eventually finished second to Travis Benjamin in the final 2012 PASS North standings.

On Sunday afternoon at Maine's Oxford Plains Speedway, Clark and the #77 team started out their 2013 season with a victory in the Ripley and Fletcher Ford 150 PASS North event.  By coming out of the gate with a victory, Clark is already hoping that this might be the season where he can score his first career PASS North championship.

"We were pretty pleased with last year.  We just fell short of a goal there," said Clark.  "We worked hard on things over the winter.  Sitting at home and waiting to race since October has been tough.  Winning was a good way to get out there and knock the rust off."

Clark won the  Ripley and Fletcher Ford 150 after coming out on top of a spirited battle with Joey Doiron over the closing laps of the race.  Doiron took the lead for the first time on lap 11 and held down the top spot without much pressure for the next 102 laps.  At that point, Clark took the lead – temporarily.  Doiron edged his way back to the top spot and the two racers battled back and forth until the end of the race.  At the conclusion of the 150 lap event, Clark crossed the finish line ahead of Doiron, Benjamin, Ben Rowe and Bobby Timmons.

"It was a tight race," said Clark.  "We were running door to door and never had any problems.  We never put a doughnut on each other.  We kept each other honest and raced hard.  You can't ask for anything better than that."

"We put on a heck of a show for everyone here," agreed Doiron.

The dogfight between Clark and Doiron capped off an action-packed afternoon of racing which also saw Billy Dixon, Joey Pastore and Ryan Hammar score victories.

The PASS Modified feature race was one where survival was the key to victory.  Dixon wheeled his #33 car to victory lane after early contenders Scott McDaniel, Mike Carignan, Mitch Miller, Mark Lucas and Andy Shaw all encountered various problems.  Dixon took the lead late and stayed out of trouble to score the opening day win.  He was followed to the finish by Scott Alexander and Sumner Sessions.

In the 75-lap PASS Sportsman feature, Pastore led every single lap on the way to victory lane, but it was anything but an easy win.  Pastore had command of the race through its early and middle stages, but a hard charging Ricky Burgess ran him down in the final stages of the event.  Burgess closed to Pastore's bumper over the final 10 laps and even got sideways chasing him on the final circuit, but Pastore held on to score the victory. Burgess finished second, while Carey Martin, Rusty Poland and Dan McKeage completed the top five finishers.

Hammar won the NELCAR Legends feature after a fierce battle with his teammate T.J. Laro early in the race.  Connecticut driver Shawn Buffington joined the fight and finished second to Hammar, while Laro hung on for a third-place finish.

Over 100 racecars were in the pits among the four divisions of racing on Sunday at Oxford.  Despite unseasonably cool temperatures, the grandstands featured a healthy crowd as well to start off the 2013 season at the historic racetrack.  Oxford's regular divisions – the Pro Late Models, Strictly Stocks, Mini Stocks and Outlaw Sportsman – will start their seasons next Sunday afternoon.

The PASS North, PASS Modified and PASS Sportsman divisions will return to action on Saturday, May 4th with the running of the Southern Maine Motors 150 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine.  Racing is scheduled to start at 3pm.

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 PASS Northwest Triple Crown at Wenatchee Valley Super Oval, PASS South's Easter Bunny 150 at the historic Hickory Motor Speedway, the Autobus La Qubecoise Triple Crown at Autodrome Chaudiere, and the legendary TD Bank 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway.

For media or marketing questions, please contact Alan Dietz at 704-231-2039 or alandietzpass@live.com.

ALEX GUENETTE EN SÉRIE NASCAR CANADIAN TIRE POUR 2013

COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE – POUR DIFFUSION IMMÉDIATE
  
Le jeune Alex Guénette sera de la partie pour la saison en série NASCAR Canadian Tire (NCaTS). La recrue de 16 ans sera au volant de voitures Dodge préparées par Dave Jacombs, le préparateur par excellence dans cette série.
Montréal, Canada – Le 20 avril 2013.  Secondé par ses deux partenaires, Motos Illimitées et DLGL, Alex Guénette est en mesure de confirmer aujourd'hui sa présence au championnat le plus important au Canada, qui lui permettra de courir au Québec trois fois cette saison, sur le tracé urbain du Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières, sur le circuit routier d'ICAR près de Mirabel et sur l'oval de l'Autodrome St-Eustache. Ses voitures Dodge seront préparées par Dave Jacombs, un des meilleurs préparateurs de ce type de voitures au Canada,  un élément clé des succès d'un autre jeune québécois, Andrew Ranger.
 
Alex n'a pas perdu de temps avant de se lancer en course. Atteint du même virus que son grand-père Jacques, qui a couru en stock-car, en Kart et en prototypes, et son père Jacques Jr., ex-coureur moto professionnel chez nous et en Europe, Alex a fait ses débuts en Kart à 7 ans. Les sept saisons suivantes l'ont vu courir dans plusieurs disciplines (Kart, motocross, quad), toujours avec une touche gagnante. Aujourd'hui, Alex passe ses étés au Québec pour courir au Canada et s'exile vers la Floride pour y courir dans les séries hivernales et compléter son éducation.
 
« Nous avons bien appliqué les leçons apprises lors de mes débuts, lui donnant du bon équipement et une solide base technique et du pilotage » de déclarer son père, Jacques Jr. « Nous ne passions à une catégorie supérieure qu'après avoir établi des bases solides et gagné des courses dans la catégorie inférieure. »
 
Après des essais en stock-car à la fin de la saison 2011, Alex y a accédé en 2012, dans la série Procam Super Truck du Québec, où il a gagné 4 des 10 courses et remporté le titre de « Recrue de l'année. » En février 2013, Alex a participé à la « World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing", une série proche de la série NASCAR Canadian Tire courue au "New Smyrna Beach Raceway" près de Daytona en Floride. À la surprise générale, il a terminé 2e au championnat de cette série, même s'il en était à ses premiers pas dans des voitures de ce calibre, et évoluant contre des pilotes aguerris.
 
Le préparateur spécialiste Dave Jacombs a assisté aux belles prestations d'Alex à New Smyrna Beach. « Nous avions prêté une voiture à Alex pour ses essais de 2011 au  "Canadian Tire Motorsport Park" et il y avait alors démontré son talent exceptionnel. À New Smyrna, il a fait preuve d'une vitesse et d'une maturité pour un jeune de 16 ans qui en a surpris plusieurs. Je m'attends à de belles choses de sa part au fil de la saison, sur pistes ovales comme sur circuits routiers », de conclure son préparateur pour 2013. Jacombs Racing travaille aussi avec GC Motorsports International, l'entreprise de M. Steve Meehan qui travaille au développement de pilotes canadiens en NASCAR.
 
Alex saisit bien l'importance de la prochaine saison. « Je trépigne d'impatience juste à penser à la première course, avec une bonne voiture et tous les requins que je retrouverai en piste, comme les Ranger, Dumoulin, Micks, Kennington et autres. Dave a démontré ses talents de préparateur et de formateur pour les jeunes pilotes, comme il a fait avec Andrew Ranger par exemple. Je veux vivre les mêmes expériences que ce dernier, et remporter les mêmes succès. »
 
Toute l'équipe se retrouvera en piste pour les essais pré saison prévus le 30 avril au Canadian Tire Motorsports Park, afin de bien se préparer pour la première ronde de la saison, le 19 mai, encore une fois au Canadian Tire Motorsports Park.

ARCA Heads to Talladega for 51st Running of Int'l Motorsports Hall of Fame 250

 

For Immediate Release:
Thursday, April 18, 2013 

 

NOTES AND QUOTES  

 

ARCA on the March 

Straight from a short-track match at Salem Speedway, the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards has a tight turnaround for Talladega. After competing in the 93rd ARCA race at Salem on Sunday, April 28, the series immediately steers for Talladega where the 51st annual Int'l Motorsports Hall of Fame 250 is set for Friday afternoon, May 3. 

 

ARCA Champ Chris Buescher to be Honored at Int'l Motorsports Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards champion driver Chris Buescher will be among the list of inductees to be inducted into the Int'l Motorsports Hall of Fame Thursday evening during the Int'l Motorsports Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at Talladega Superspeedway. Buescher's likeness will officially be added to the ARCA Wall of Fame, which was rededicated with a brand new design just last year. The ARCA Wall of Fame includes an impressive assortment of imagery representing 60 years of ARCA racing dating back to 1953. The ARCA Wall of Champions features all 30 different ARCA champions from 1953 forward, Buescher to be the latest addition.

 

Eddie Sharp Racing Inks Ricky Erhgott for Talladega
2009 ARCA car owner champion Eddie Sharp will partner with rookie driver Ricky Ehrgott for the ARCA race at Talladega. Ehrgott, who finished third in the Daytona opener driving for Coulter Motorsports, is set to drive the No. 6 Chevrolet for Eddie Sharp Racing at Talladega with primary sponsorship from Platinum Partners Plus. Veteran crew chief Jamie Jones will serve as the team's crew chief.

 

Venturini Motorsports x 4 at Talladega
Venturini Motorsports is headed to Talladega well stocked with four teams entered, including a No. 15 Zaxby's-sponsored Toyota with Daytona winner John Wes Townley driving. The victory at Daytona was Townley's career-first in ARCA competition, and the first at Daytona for the Venturini family, which has been attempting a Daytona victory for 31 years. Venturini Motorsports has also entered its flagship machine with Baltimore, Maryland rookie Justin Boston behind the wheel of the No. 25 ZLOOP Computer and Electronics Recycling Toyota. Other Venturini Motorsports entries include Caracas, Venezuela's Milka Duno in the No. 35 CanTV-Milkaway Toyota and New Castle, Indiana's Caleb Armstrong in the No. 55 Toyota. Duno qualified second at Daytona in the same car, and led the first 11 laps before mechanical issues stopped her run. Armstrong is the cousin of the 2010 ARCA Talladega winner Dakoda Armstrong.

 

Venturini Led the Charts in April Testing at Talladega
Venturini Motorsports led the charts in the ARCA open test at Talladega, taking the top-four spots with John Wes Townley the quickest overall with an average speed of 180.264 mph. Milka Duno was second fastest overall. The Caracas, Venezuela driver circled the track with an average speed of 179.625 mph. Caleb Armstrong was third fastest at 179.108 mph, ahead of Justin Boston, who was fourth fastest overall at 178.720 mph.

 

Former Series Champ Kimmel/Talladega Winners Gerhart, Kimmel Ready for Another Talladega Adventure 

Frank Kimmel is the only former ARCA Racing Series champion entered. Kimmel, driver of the Ansell-Menards Toyota, will be making his 20th start at Talladega since 1992. Although the nine-time ARCA champion has 76 career ARCA wins total - second all-time to Iggy Katona's 79 - the second-generation racer has just one win at Talladega, in 2006. Kimmel and Bobby Gerhart are the only former ARCA Talladega winners entered. Gerhart, an eight-time winner at Daytona, also has one win at Talladega, in 2001. Stock car legend James Hylton is also on the win list at Talladega; however, the 78-year-old Inman, South Carolina veteran earned his victory in 1972 in the NASCAR Grand National division (current Sprint Cup Series) in the Talladega 500.  

 

Farewell James Harvey Hylton 

James Hylton has announced his retirement from driving race cars. The 2013 season will mark his farewell tour behind the wheel of his famous No. 48. "I've been thinking about this for quite a while," Hylton said. "I'm 78, and the time has come." Hylton made 602 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts since 1964, winning twice at Talladega and Richmond. Since 1997, Hylton has made 146 ARCA starts. Hylton also finished 15th in the ARCA race at Talladega, on the lead lap, in 2009 at the age of 74. 

 

Gerhart Double-Teaming Talladega
In addition to entering his own No. 5 Lucas Oil Chevrolet for the ARCA race at Talladega, Gerhart will attempt to make the starting grid in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Talladega in his own No. 85 Lucas Oil-sponsored Chevrolet Camaro. 

 

All in a Name - Gerhart Bringing old Reliables "Sweet Pea" and "Joe" 

Bobby Gerhart, noted for his superspeedway success/savvy, especially at Daytona where he has a record eight victories, is returning to Talladega with some old classics. Still undecided as to which car will be his primary machine and which will serve in the back-up role, the Lebanon, Pennsylvania veteran is bringing cars he calls "Sweet Pea" and "Joe". According to Gerhart, Sweet Pea is his most successful race car in his entire fleet with three victories - two at Daytona and one at Talladega way back in 2001. The car has also three earned Menards Pole Awards presented by Ansell, one at Talladega and two at Daytona. Gerhart will also have old reliable Joe, which won at Daytona in 2007 and 2010. Sweet Pea was wrecked in a multi-car pile-up at Talladega during last year's race, but has been reconditioned for 2013. Gerhart tested both cars in early April. "Both of the cars we tested are former Daytona winners. In fact, there are four Daytona wins between these two cars - two apiece. One of our goals was to find out which car is the best, and leave it at that." 

 

Championship Battle Already Taking Shape - Rookie and a Veteran 

Albeit early in the 2013 season, nine-time ARCA champion Frank Kimmel and 18-year-old rookie Mason Mingus are neck and neck for the championship points battle. In fact, headed into Salem Speedway, just days prior to the 51st running of the ARCA race at Talladega, Kimmel and Mingus were tied for the lead. It's an odd match-up, a teenager who's still in high school and a grown man with kids graduating from college, yet it's there, as loud and compelling as ever. In plain numbers, 33 years separate Kimmel, who turns 51 on April 30th, from Mingus, who won't be 19 until November. "It's kind of the way it's been over the last decade here," Kimmel said. "If it's not Mason, it's some other rookie coming with all the right equipment and lots of talent. Mason might be new around here, but he's been around for a while. He's driven late models quite a bit, and has shown a lot of promise. I consider him a formidable opponent for sure." A formidable opponent indeed. Mingus, in his first full season on tour, is off to a spectacular start in 2013 beginning with a solid seventh place showing in his Daytona debut, followed by a career-best fourth place finish on the Mobile Int'l Speedway short track where he earned his career-first Menards Pole Award presented by Ansell to boot.

 

Cunningham Motorsports Takes Two - a Rookie and a Veteran
Cunningham Motorsports, renowned for grooming very successful stock car drivers, is coming with two drivers - veteran Tom Hessert and rookie Korbin Forrister. Current NASCAR Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series drivers Parker Kligerman, Dakoda Armstrong and Alex Bowman all graduated from Cunningham Motorsports. The operation is headed up by co-car owners Kerry Scherer and Briggs Cunningham. NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion crew chief Paul Andrews fields the fleet of Dodges for a wide variety of rookies and veterans.

 

Rookie Matt Kurzejewski and Keselowski team-up at Talladega:

Mansfield, Penn. rookie Matt Kurzejewski has teamed up with the Keselowski family for Talladega. 1989 ARCA national champion Bob Keselowski will serve as Kurzejewski's crew chief. The union of Kurzejewski and Keselowski is more like a reunion. The two joined forces in 2008 for their first ARCA start together at Toledo Speedway where they finished 18th. Kurzejewski then reunited with Keselowski for this year's Daytona opener where they finished ninth on the lead lap.  

 

Rookie Bo LeMastus pairing up with Geoff Bodine for full ARCA Season 

Louisville, Kentucky rookie Bo LeMastus is getting assistance for his first season on tour from NASCAR veteran driver Geoff Bodine, who will be serving in the capacity of coach and raceday spotter for Lemastus's No. 42 Crosley Radio Dodge. LeMastus is CEO of Crosley Radio, which manufactures vintage electronics under the Crosley brand. LeMastus recently purchased the complete inventory from Mark Gibson Racing for the 2013 ARCA Racing Series season. LeMastus's racing background includes 20 years in AMA motorcycle racing and five years of SCCA road course racing.

 

Alabamans Entered
Currently, Fairhope, Alabama's Grant Enfinger and Mobile, Alabama's Thomas Praytor are the only Alabamans entered. Enfinger is one of the more recent ARCA winners with his victory at Mobile Int'l Speedway in early March.

PARTICIPATION PARTIELLE DE SYLVAIN LACOMBE

Pour diffusion immédiate


Série ACT-Castrol 2013

 

Bonne nouvelle pour les amateurs de la série ACT-Castrol et plus particulièrement les supporteurs de l'ex-champion Sylvain Lacombe. Lors d'un court entretien téléphonique, celui qui a mérité le premier titre Castrol en 2005, a laissé entendre qu'il participerait à quelques épreuves de ce championnat en 2013.

 

Ignorant complètement comment le tout va se dérouler, Sylvain a déclaré que pour l'instant, il avait l'intention de participer à cinq épreuves. Dans cette série, le pilote de Terrebonne y compte 14 victoires dont huit à l'Autodrome St-Eustache en l'emportant pour la première fois, le 17 mai 2005 et la dernière, le 31 juillet 2010. À Montmagny, il compte deux visites dans le cercle des vainqueurs.

 

Il est certain que ses admirateurs voudraient l'applaudir tout au long de la saison. Tout dépendra certainement des ses premières participations.

 

Pour cette saison, Sylvain a fait l'acquisition d'une voiture préparée par Bow Motorsports de Kahnawake dont le coureur Brandon White est l'un des associés. Sylvain est prêt et il a annoncé qu'il sera présent à l'Autodrome Montmagny, le 25 mai prochain pour le lever de rideau.

 

Il sera confronté à plusieurs de ses anciens rivaux dont Jonathan Bouvrette, Donald Theetge, Jean-François Déry, Patrick Hamel, Dany Trépanier, Claude Leclerc et de nombreux autres.

 

Cette saison, en raison de la participation sporadique du triple champion Patrick Laperle, Jean-François Déry est le choix de la première pour décrocher cette couronne tant convoitée.

Thaw Is Over As PASS North Racers Get Set To Crank Up Season at Oxford Plains

For Immediate Release

 

NAPLES, ME (April 17) – After what seemed to be a never ending off season, Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North competitors in the Super Late Model, Modified, and Sportsman divisions will begin the 2013 season this Sunday afternoon at Oxford Plains Speedway.  This weekend’s Ripley and Fletcher 150 will take on added importance for the PASS North Super Late Models since they will head back to Oxford on July 21st for the 40th Annual TD Bank 250.  A fact not lost on 6-Time PASS North Champion Johnny Clark.

 

“There will be a lot of heavy hitters and all the teams will be raring to go at Oxford,” said Clark.  “Everyone wants to make a statement that they're ready for the 250. I can't think of a better way to kick off the season then rolling into victory lane at OPS.”

The 2012 season was a bit of disappointment for Johnny Clark.  Finishing fourth in points with two wins would be a great year for most drivers, but not for the man trying to stake his claim as one of the greatest racers New England has ever seen.

“I'm really excited for the start of the 2013 season,” said Clark.  “We have been in the shop working hard prepping our equipment to have a successful year. The team is anxious to get going and make a solid run for a seventh PASS North championship.”

But, two of the drivers he will have to contend with at Sunday’s Ripley and Fletcher Ford 150 are the two men that came to Oxford last fall battling for the championship…Travis Benjamin and Cassius Clark.  Benjamin was a picture of consistency throughout the 2012 season, while C. Clark made a late-season surge for the title.  In the end, Benjamin prevailed by 19 points over C. Clark to etch his name in the PASS record books as only the fourth different driver to ever claim the series title.

“It’s going to be pretty exciting being announced as the defending champion,” said Benjamin.  “This weekend’s race will be a good race with a lot of cars. Everyone is trying to get a good setup for the 250. I think starting up front is going to play a huge roll in who will win this race. It could definitely come down to the luck of the draw.”

For Cassius Clark, last year was another near miss at the PASS North championship.  But, his series leading three wins is even more impressive when considering that 2012 was his first full season racing with the Hight Motorsports team and crew chief Brian Burgess.  Anything less than consistently winning and threatening for another championship will be considered failure for the veteran from Farmington, Maine.

 

“We won some races last year and came up just a little short of the championship,” said C. Clark.  “All in all, we had a great first year together but we all want more and have worked hard over the off season to achieve that.  We are more ready than we were last year and have all worked together for a while now.  Plus, Brian and I are getting a good feel for our Port City chassis.”

Starting at Oxford Plains with the Ripley and Fletcher Ford 150 could make for a long season for C. Clark’s fellow PASS North competitors.  Maine’s most famous racetrack is one Cassius’ favorite and a place he has found success at often.

“I’m really looking forward to getting the season started at Oxford, one of my home tracks and a track I've had a lot of success at in the past with 3 wins,” said the 2008 PASS National Champion.  “Hopefully the weather is great and we get a great turnout bringing the PASS Super Late Models back to one of Maine's premier tracks.”

Car counts for the PASS Southern Late Model tour have averaged well over 30 cars through the first four races and PASS North looks to be no different with a great field expected on Sunday.  Former TD Bank 250 winners and father-son duo Mike and Ben Rowe return looking for more Oxford success.  Speaking of former Oxford Plains winners Austin Theriault and Scott Mulkern have also filed early entries.  DJ Shaw, Trevor Sanborn, Joey Doiron, and Kyle Desouza will represent the ever growing PASS youth movement looking to make a statement.  Former track champion Tim Brackett will try to hold the homestead down as will fellow Maine drivers Bradley Babb, Corey Bubar, Curtis Gerry, David Farrington, Jr., Reid Lanpher, David Oliver, and Bobby Timmons.  A strong Canadian contingent will be represented by New Brunswick’s Matt Matheson and Quebec champions Alexandre Gingras, and Jean Francois Dery.  Derek Ramstrom hopes to parlay a top 10 finish in the most recent PASS South event into a good run at Oxford along with fellow Massachusetts driver Tony Ricci.  New Hampshire racers Dan Colby and Bryan Kruczek also hope to get the season started off on a good footing in the Ripley and Fletcher Ford 150 along with many more drivers expected.

Action gets under way on Saturday, April 20th for the Ripley and Fletcher Ford 150 with rotating practice from 11 AM – 4 PM for the PASS North Super Late Models, PASS Modifieds, PASS Sportsman, Street Stocks, Minis and Outlaws.  On Sunday, April 21st, pit gates open at 8 AM, with rotating practice for all divisions from 10 AM - 12:45 PM, heat races at 2 PM, and main event racing to follow.

PASS North Super Late Model entry forms for the season opener at Oxford Plains Speedway on April 21st, plus entry forms the Apple Blossom 200 at Wenatchee Valley Super Oval and the TD Bank 250 at Oxford can be found at ProAllStarsSeries.com.

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 PASS Northwest Triple Crown at Wenatchee Valley Super Oval, PASS South’s Easter Bunny 150 at the historic Hickory Motor Speedway, the Autobus La Qubecoise Triple Crown at Autodrome Chaudiere, and the legendary TD Bank 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway.  For technical information concerning all PASS divisions please contact Scott Reed at 207-625-3230 or scottreedpass@yahoo.com.  For media or marketing questions, please contact Alan Dietz at 704-231-2039 or alandietzpass@live.com.  Please visit ProAllStarsSeries.com for more information and don’t forget to “Like” the Pro All Stars Series on Facebook to keep up with breaking news as it happens.

Le pilote se sent d'attaque pour la triple couronne : «Après l'annonce de Vallee-Jonction concernant la venue de Kyle Bush, la pression de mes coéquipiers et sans fut très forte afin que l'on soit présent à cette course ainsi que les autres événements, je vous annonce que l'entente est réglée depuis un mois et demi. Personne n'était au courant car je voulais faire ce plaisir à mon équipe et mes fans. Ceci représente un nouveau défi et un retour aux sources avec des moteurs hyper puissants. Je suis conscient que la compétition sera élevée mais j'ai l'intention de donner mon 110% afin d'être compétitif et c'est pour cette raison que j'ai collaboré avec Mitch et Judy de Race Basic pour me procurer une voiture performante. De plus, Mickey, le garçon de Mitch prépare également la voiture d'Austin Thériault en Pass nord. Je dois souligner que Mickey est en constante discussion avec les gens qui préparent la voiture de Thériault dans le sud, qui est la propriété de Brad Keselowski.»

Venez encourager une fois de plus ce pilote aux talents remarquables qui sait vous en faire voir de toutes les couleurs!

Procam Supertruck s’implique dans la relève

Conscients que la série a besoin de recrues pour assurer sa relève dans le futur, les dirigeants de la série Procam Supertruck propulsée par Carbopoxy® de Techniseal®, ont décidé de s'impliquer avec les classes sport compactes des autodromes Chaudière et Montmagny. Afin d'attirer l'attention des pilotes de la relève sur la série de camions, la série Procam Supertruck remettra, grâce à une collaboration spéciale de Brossard Performance, un fond de points de 1,500.00$ à la classe sport compacte de l'est. En échange, tous les bolides de la classe sport compacte devront apposer les autocollants des principaux commanditaires de la série Procam Supertruck, lesquels seront imprimés en version adaptée pour la dimension des véhicules.

 

Course de la relève

 

De plus, la série Procam Supertruck propulsée par Carbopoxy® de Techniseal® fera tirer une location de camion pour la dernière course de la saison à l'autodrome Chaudière le 7 septembre 2013. Le pilote chanceux se méritera la chance de participer gratuitement, grâce à une collaboration de Coffrage 20-20, à une course de championnat Carbopoxy® de Techniseal® au volant d'un camion Procam Supertruck. La série fournira le camion, l'équipe et les pneus nécessaires pour la course de la relève du 7 septembre.

 

La location du camion Coffrage 20-20 d'une valeur de 2,500.00$ s'ajoute au fond de points Brossard Performance de 1,500.00$ pour une valeur totale de 4,000.00$. Les règlements du concours seront publiés d'ici quelques jours par André Gagnon, bien connu pour son implication avec les sport compacte de l'est.

 

Des communiqués seront émis afin d'informer les pilotes et les fans sur la technologie utilisée sur les camions Procam Supertruck qui font que ses véhicules sont pratiquement aussi évolués qu'un LMS mais que leur cout se rapproche plus d'un Sportsman, combinant le meilleur des deux mondes. De la haute performance à un prix abordable, c'est la devise qui a toujours guidé la série lors de ses choix dans l'évolution de ses bolides. Nous voyons ici une opportunité de partager notre passion avec les pilotes de la relève !

Hebert Surges To First ACT Victory

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                                                                                            ACT-041412

Lee, NH -- American Canadian Tour Rookie of the Year Jimmy Hebert disproved any ideas of a sophomore slump by earning his first-career ACT victory in style at the New Hampshire Governor's Cup 150 at Lee USA Speedway on Sunday, April 14th.  North Haverhill, NH's Travis Fadden and Rowley, MA's Eddie Macdonald finished out the podium for the season opening event.

 

The race began with Tiverton, RI's Ray Parent going door-to-door with pole sitter Fadden for the first six laps, until overtaking him for the early lead.  Fadden stayed hooked to Parent's back bumper as the field stretched out, bringing defending ACT Champion Wayne Helliwell, Jr. into third behind the two leaders.  As the pair worked through lap traffic, Hebert worked his way from the 15thstarting position to tenth, highlighting a string of daring moves with a 3-wide blast on lap 32.  By lap 57, Hebert had maneuvered his way through the field to 6thplace.  Parent and Fadden continued to battle for the lead through lap traffic until a quick move by Fadden left Parent pinned behind a lapped car.  Fadden stole the lead back, and showed the way until the first of six cautions on lap 89.

 

When the race returned to action, Fadden ran with the lead while Milton, VT's Scott Payea worked on Parent for second with Hebert in tow.  After a handful of laps door-to-door, Payea earned the spot, but half-a-lap later found Hebert diving underneath him to take over the runner-up position.  By lap 116 Hebert had caught Fadden for the lead, but an attempt to take it came up short when Fadden used the lapped cars to his advantage once again.  While the two young guns battled at the front, two-time Bond Auto ACT Invitational winner Eddie Macdonald silently worked his way up to third from the 18th starting position.

 

On lap 125, the battle paused as Quebecer Alex Labbe and Somerville, MA's Jimmy Linardy spun in front of the field in turns one and two.  When the race resumed, leader Travis Fadden had a mirror full of hometown hero Macdonald as he tried to pull away from Hebert who started outside.  The race was slowed once again by a third caution, this time for Helliwell, who took an uncharacteristic spin in turns three and four after tight contact in the pack.  Hebert learned from the first restart, and this time around, stole the lead using the outside lane while Macdonald dove underneath Fadden for second.  A pair of spins slowed the race again on laps 130, and 131, leaving sophomore Hebert to fend for himself against the veteran Macdonald with Fadden on his bumper.  On lap 136, Turner, ME's Glen Luce – who had been solidly inside the top ten all day – took a heartbreaking spin in front of the field to set up the final caution of the event.

 

When the green flag flew, Hebert powered ahead and brought Fadden with him, pushing experience aside and forcing Macdonald to third.  Steuben, ME's Rowland Robinson and Parent shared career days finishing fourth and fifth respectively.  Ben Lynch, Dave Farrington, Jr., Rookie Travis Stearns, Brian Hoar, and Scott Payea rounded out the top ten.

 

"This is just incredible I can't believe we did it," said an ecstatic Hebert in Victory Lane.  "That's the first time this car has been on the track, and I'd say it's bad fast!"

 

Runner-up Travis Fadden was just as excited.

"Yesterday was the first time I've ever been around this place," said Fadden.  "Earning the pole for today and getting second place is just awesome."

 

The race was completed in 1 hour, 3 minutes, and 27 seconds, and was slowed by just six cautions.

 

Hebert becomes the first Bond Auto Parts ACT Invitational Qualifier with his New Hampshire Governor's Cup 150 victory.  The American Canadian Tour will head to Barre, VT's Thunder Road for the 15th Annual Merchants Bank 150 on Sunday, April 28.
