Nasse, Myers, & McCaskill Highlight Latest Group Of Richmond Early Entries

NAPLES, ME (September 7) – Entries continue to steadily come in as October’s inaugural PASS Commonwealth Classic at Richmond Raceway draws nearer. The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Super Late Models will be one of the headline divisions at Richmond and will compete for 100 laps and $10,000 to win in the penultimate event of the PASS National Championship series.

Former Easter Bunny 150 winner, Stephen Nasse, from Florida and 2008 PASS National Champion, Cassius Clark, headline the latest batch of PASS Super Late Model entries. Several former Mason-Dixon Meltdown winners have entered including Brandon Setzer, Trevor Noles, Ben Rowe, and Tyler Church, along with former two-time Oxford 250 winner, Eddie MacDonald, and several drivers who were locked in through the South Boston qualifier like Lucas Jones, Jeff Batten, and Corey Heim.

But, the PASS Super Late Models will not be the only division to tackle the legendary D-shaped, ¾-mile oval on Saturday, October 20. Stock car racing’s oldest division, the ground pounding Tour-Type Modifieds will return to Richmond for the first time since 2002, marking the biggest race for this type of car in the region all season.

The “Mod Squad” is serious about their Richmond opportunity and it shows. “Big Money” Matt Hirschman, Eric Goodale, and Modified legend, Jamie Tomaino were some of the first to enter and have now be joined by two of Southern Modified racing’s biggest names, Jason Myers, and Bobby Measmer, Jr, and southern stalwart, The Hillbilly Racing team #79 driven by James Civali. Jon McKennedy, who won the first ever PASS Southern Modified event at Hickory on Easter Bunny weekend 2016, will be competing in the Tommy Baldwin-owned entry, and former Bristol winner, Patrick Emerling, will be making the trip from western New York.

NASCAR-style Late Model Stocks, Limited Late Models, and Street Stocks will all be competing on this amazing short track racing card of events under the famed lights of Richmond Raceway.

Deac McCaskill, one of the top Late Model Stock drivers in the region, has filed his early entry. Former PASS competitor and current Limited Late Model driver, Clay Jones, is entered and has expressed his excitement for the opportunity to race at one of America’s most prestigious short tracks. And, Street Stocks from Maine to California have already sent entries in, including top MASS Street Stock racers, Ron Flynn and Kyle Lynch.

The final early entry deadline for all divisions will be on Monday, October 1 giving teams the opportunity to save money versus entering the weekend of the event.

The weekend will begin on Thursday, October 18 with hauler parking and safety inspection for all divisions from 11 AM – 5 PM.
