The “PASS South 150” event is the fifth points race of the season as the action continues to ramp up in the south.
South Boston Speedway has been a regular stop for the series over the years. Big names in Super Late Model racing have gone to victory lane at the track in PASS South competition, including Cassius Clark (2006), Johnny Clark (2008), Ben Rowe (2009) and Jimmy Weller (2010), but all of these races were held towards the end of the series season with only one chance for drivers to etch their names in the record book as a SoBo PASS South winner. In 2011, the series will visit the track twice, giving two opportunities for drivers to enter victory lane during the season at the Virginia track.
