Early entries pour in for THE RACE at Historic North Wilkesboro

NAPLES ME – (December 14, 2010) Interest in the $75,000.00 to win Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South super late model showdown at historic North Wilkesboro Speedway has exceeded the series’ expectations . To date the mega-buck event has drawn entries from eleven states and three Canadian provinces.

2010 PASS South and National champion Preston Peltier leads the latest list of short track superstars that will attempt to take home the big bucks on April 9th.

Dustin Hubbard will make the tow from Maine as will PASS North regular Scott Alexander.

Ryan Blaney claimed three PASS South victories on his way to a close second place finish in the 2010 title chase and he’ll have to be considered one of the favorites. PASS South stalwarts Heath Hindman and Clete Caywood are now on the roster, joining Mainer Randy Turner in the all star lineup. Maritime racer Greg Proude will make the trip from Prince Edward Island Canada and Granite State racer D.J. Shaw will attempt to make the field in Julio and Rita Miglioli’s Precision JLM ride.

PASS President Tom Mayberry is encouraged by the early response from racers..” It’s still four months away but THE RACE at Historic North Wilkesboro has generated a lot of interest. THE RACE already has the makings of one of the finest super late model fields ever assembled. PASS is well represented with four series champions and a host of regulars already entered. But, we are also seeing many entries from outside the series like Sterling Marlin and David Stremme, drivers that recognize the significance of this race and want to be a part of it. It’s encouraging for sure.”
