The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Models and PASS Late Model Trucks will have to wait one week to begin the 2009 racing season due to inclement weather. This weekend’s forecast for Dillon, SC and much of the Southeast is calling for cooler temperatures and rain. PASS President Tom Mayberry and Dillon Motor Speedway owner Ron Barfield have agreed in a joint decision to postpone this weekend’s scheduled South Carolina Clash and PASS South Awards Dinner. Both events will be pushed back one week and will be held on March 20-21.
“We feel it is in the best interests of our race teams and fans to have the South Carolina Clash next week,” said Mayberry. “A lot of folks are looking forward to this race, including some who are traveling quite a distance to be in Dillon, and Ron and I think we owe it to everybody to hold off the activities for a week when the weather is expected to be much, much better.”
