ThePro All Stars Series is astock car racing governing body active in theUnited States of America andCanada. The series started in 2001 and now sanctions various series including North, South, and National Super Late Model tours and a New England Modified tour.
The Pro All Stars Series started with the PASS NorthPro Stock in 2001. The class was founded by former stockcar racer Tom Mayberry. The series was a successor to theNortheast Pro Stock Association andInternational Pro Stock Challenge. The first race was held on 20 May 2001 atLee USA Speedway.Jim McCallum qualified his car on pole position.Dale Shaw beat his 32 rivals that qualified for the race over 150 laps, with 45 total cars attempting.[1]Ben Rowe won six out of ten races in the season. But due to steady top five finishesSam Sessions was the first series champion. Rowe won the next two titles in the series.
For 2004 a new raceclass was introduced. A 'touring style'modified racing series started atWhite Mountain Motorsports Park with ten drivers starting the race. PASS regular Ben Rowe won the first race of the series.[2] A further two years later PASS founded the Super Late Model Touring Series South. The series, founded in 2006, was based inNorth Carolina but also raced on tracks inSouth Carolina,Virginia and othersouthern states. This series kept SLM/PLM racing alive through these years in the mid south until it was disbanded in 2018.
Not all ventures of the Pro All Stars Series were highly successful. The PASS Outlaw Late Model series existed for three seasons. The championship was introduced as a breeding ground for new drivers before growing into the Super Late Models. The 2008 season saw very small grids. Nine drivers started the race atSpeedway 95, twelve drivers started the race atRiverside Speedway. Mayberry stated that the2008 financial crisis and the fact that other local tracks added the outlaw late model class contributed to the small field in the PASS Outlaw Late Models. Therefore Mayberry decided to cancel the season after two races.[3] The PASS Late Model Truck Series was also short lived. The trucks were a support category to the PASS South Super Late Models on short tracks throughout North Carolina. With only six drivers atSouthern National Raceway Park the PASS organisation decided to cancel the series with one round atGreenville-Pickens Speedway remaining.[4]
In late 2012 Mayberry bought the historicOxford Plains Speedway. The track changed its focus fromAmerican Canadian Tour Late Model sanctioning to the PASS Super Late Model sanctioning. This also affected the showcase race at Oxford Plains, the Oxford 250. As of 2013 the race run under PASS rules and is a point-scoring race for the PASS North and National championships.[5]
New for 2022 is a big block super series (NESS) that is attempting to bring big block super modifieds back to life in the New England region since other series have moved out with dwindling car counts.
