Modified Racers Reunion Set for New Smyrna on Feb. 15, 2008

We are pleased to announce Florida’s first of its kind event to honor the pioneers of Modified racing. We are hosting a Northeast Modified drivers Reunion, to be held at New Smyrna Speedway on Friday, February 15th. 2008. This is the date of the annual Richie Evans Memorial 100, during Speedweeks. It will be an afternoon event, so as not to conflict with the racing programs being held at New Smyrna Speedway, Volusia Speedway Park and Daytona International Speedway.

Initial response has been tremendous, with participation by both Asphalt and Dirt racers. In only one month of preparations, we have received entries from Dutch Hoag, Bugs Stevens, Bill Wimble, Pete Hamilton, Doug Heveron, and dozens more.

PASS South To Bring Super Late Models Back To Greenville-Pickens

Concord, NC — One thing Greenville-Pickens Speedway in Greenville, South Carolina is used to is tradition. Tradition is something the track was built on. In fact, the entire outside wall at Greenville-Pickens Speedway tells of its rich tradition, with names such as Pearson, Earnhardt, Pressley and Lindley emblazoned on it as former track champions. Tradition is something that racing fans stick with and love to abide by.

One tradition that has been missing from Greenville-Pickens Speedway for years is the power of true Super Late Model racing. That tradition, however, will reemerge in October however, as full-blown Super Late Models will return to the half-mile speedway, when the PASS South tour makes its inaugural visit to the historic track. “The Howler” event will feature a 150-lap event for PASS Super Late Models on Saturday, October 27th.
