CHARLOTTE, NC (July 1) – Since the first edition held back in 2006, the Firecracker 125 has always seemed to bring out the best when it comes to the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model division. And, this year’s race appears to be no different, with a star studded group of drivers already pre-entered for the special Thursday night show at the legendary Greenville-Pickens Speedway in South Carolina which will be capped off by a huge Freestyle Motorcycle Spectacular.
The Firecracker 125 has been a mainstay on the PASS South Super Late Model schedule and returns to Greenville-Pickens Speedway where it was held from 2008-2010. The hot temperatures and flat racing surface at Greenville have provided some memorable moments at Greenville which include Alex Haase surviving a duel with Justin Wakefield in 2008, Jay Fogleman besting Brian Ickler in a tug-of-war the following year, and Ryan Blaney prevailing over Andy Loden and Preston Peltier in 2010.

ALEX LABBE ROLLS TO PASS SLM WIN AT MONTMAGNY
PASS North Photos from Montmagny 2014 – https://plus.google.com/photos/112256981499278136025/albums/6030528489623295201
Canadian speedster, Alex Labbe scored an impressive victory this past Saturday night at Autodrome Montmagny in Montmagny, Quebec, as he held off a race long challenge from Cassius Clark to secure the win.
One of the biggest stories of the night was just as DJ Shaw pulled onto the starting grid for the main event, something broke on the potent #60 and the oil pump seized up. Fortunately they made a quick deal with Michael Lavoie and he was able to start the race from the back of the field.

Savary First To Repeat With Lee VMRS Win
Lee, N.H. – Richard Savary used a different approach Friday night breaking away from the norm. He charged to the front from his 11th starting position, challenged early front runners Tom Carey Jr., and Todd Szegedy, to take the lead on lap 55 and go to win the Valenti Modified Racing Series sanctioned ‘Port City 100’ at Lee USA Speedway, Friday night, June 27.
The win was the Canton, Massachusetts., drivers second this season and his third career VMRS victory.
Instead of doing what most drivers do when competing at Lee, hang back and save their tires for the second half of the race, Savary changed his strategy and ran hard early on to put himself in contention for the lead.
“This is the first time here for all of us with this new right rear tire so nobody knew what it was really going to do. I took a page out of the Steve Masse book. He seems to get to the front and try to hang there. I thought I’d give that a try tonight. Late in the race we had good clean restarts. Hard racing. I think if the 21 (Bonsignore) was in front of me I would have had my hands full but I’m glad it was someone like him driving the car behind me.”
