PASS South Ready For Another Return to Historic Hickory

By admin September 11, 2007

Concord, NC — It goes without saying that Hickory Motor Speedway, located just East of the Blue Ridge Mountains in scenic North Carolina, is one of the most historic short tracks in all of racing.  NASCAR’s current Nextel Cup Series and Busch Series both raced at the track for years before both moved on to bigger tracks.

But Hickory is still making history with a number of series.  And in just two short years, the PASS South Super Late Model Series has started a history of its own at the .363-mile oval.  That history writing will continue when the series visits Hickory for the fourth time in just its second year of running on Saturday night, September 29th, for a 150-lap event.
