CHARLOTTE, NC (April 9) – As the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Models prepare for the 9th Annual Hickory Motor Speedway, Newton, NC’s Brandon Setzer looks on with added anticipation. In his first season competing in PASS South and coming off a best career sixth place finish last time out at Orange County Speedway, Setzer prepares to race at the track he has by far and away the most experience at in his young career.
There has never been a time in his life when racing at Hickory Motor Speedway wasn’t front and center for Brandon Setzer. From the time he was born, his family has raced at Hickory, most notably his dad, Dennis. Dennis Setzer won the track championship at Hickory Motor Speedway in 1983 and 1993 before finding success in the Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series. Likewise, Brandon has found victory lane at Hickory in Limited Late Models and Late Model Trucks. Now, Brandon’s focus is on taming a much different beast. A beast in the form of a 650 horespower PASS South Super Late Model. And, with a top short track racing coach like his father guiding him and the home crowd behind him, Setzer likes his chances heading to one of the biggest races of the season.

ROUGEMONT, NC (April 5) – Roger Lee Newton held off a furious last lap charge by Trevor Noles that saw Noles spin across the finish line to win the 9th Annual Orange Blossom Special Saturday night for the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Models at Orange County Speedway. Newton’s second Orange Blossom Special victory puts him in elite company joining Preston Peltier as the only drivers to ever win the event more than once.
“I don’t know what it is about this place, but I love it,” said Newton after ending a winless streak dating back to 2011. “He (Noles) hit me, but that’s racing. It’s the last lap and you do anything to win. When he hit me, I just nailed the gas and it stuck. I don’t know what to say, I just can’t believe it.”

CHARLOTTE, NC (April 3) – A second generation racer and the series all-time wins leader have been added to an already impressive list of pre-entries for this weekend’s 9th Annual Orange Blossom Special at Orange County Speedway for the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Models. Harrison Burton, who has also filed an entry for the upcoming Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory, and Preston Peltier join a strong group of contenders looking to take the checkered flag in Saturday night’s third race of the 2014 season for North America’s most diverse Super Late Model series.
Burton will be making his PASS South Super Late Model debut this season in the Dex Imaging/Cessna/Morton Building’s #12 following a successful 2013 which saw him score a pair of PASS Pro Late Model victories at South Carolina’s Dillon Motor Speedway. But, this will not be his first foray into PASS South racing, having qualified for two of the biggest events on last year’s calendar, the Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory Motor Speedway and the Mason Dixon Meltdown at Southern National Motorsports Park.

It’s been a long hard winter throughout the Northeast, and the harsh winter has caused Pro All Stars Series President, Tom Mayberry to move the Oxford Plains Speedway’s scheduled season opening, Ripley & Fletcher Ford 150 from Saturday, April 12, 2014 to Saturday, April 26th at 2pm. This change turns the weekend into a giant doubleheader as PASS North will open their Series on Saturday, and the $7,000 to win, Colossal Carnage 150 Enduro will go green on Sunday.
“We knew it was risky scheduling the opener in early April, but the past few seasons have allowed us to open up earlier as warm weather has graced us in late February and early March. Right now we still have several inches of snow on the grounds, and even with warm weather, we don’t feel the grounds will dry up enough to allow the event to be held on April 12th, stated Mayberry. We want to make sure to give plenty of advanced notice to our race teams, race fans, and employees, and that’s why we decided to make this decision well in advance of the event.”
