With well over seventy race teams expressing their interest in competing in all or part of 2002 Pro All Stars Series schedule, candidates for the PASS/Northern Race Tires Rookie of the Year Challenge abound.

Among the talented crop of rookies expected to vie for the 2002 title are racing firefighter Chip Keene in the Dairy Joy Monte Carlo, Bobby Allen in Dave and Annette Joyce’s Allen Motors-sponsored Dodge Intrepid, and Wayne Helliwell Jr. behind the wheel of Carleton Robie’s always potent machine. Johnny Clark had to cut his 2001 Rookie campaign short due to injuries and will take another stab at the title in his D.N.K. Select Used Cars Monte Carlo. Mike Maietta Jr. will be a strong rookie candidate in his #3 Maietta Construction Ford Taurus, as will Bill Rogers in the Garland’s Oil- Hussey’s Texaco Chevrolet. Second generation driver Cassius Clark will make his Pro Stock debut at Oxford Plains Speedway, site of many of his dad Billy’s racing achievements.

The top rookie at each Pro All Stars event will be awarded an American Racer racing tire at the next PASS event, while the rookie who earns the most points for the season will receive a set of four at the 2003 season opener, all courtesy of Northern Race Tires, official tire supplier for the PASS series.

This past weekend PASS Series President Tom Mayberry and Bob Webber Jr of Star Speedway / TJ Webber Racing announced that the PASS Touring Series will become a major supporter of the Racing Against Cancer Fundraising drive.

"After talking with Bobby and seing how important of a cause this is to him personally, I felt there was no question this is something that the PASS Tour had to be involved with and hopefully we can help Bobby to far surpass his goal of $25,000," stated Tom Mayberry.

The PASS Tour is currently negotiating with series sponsors to organize a raffle that will benefit the Racing Against Cancer Fundraising drive.  Details on the raffle will be forthcoming in the near future.

Teams are also joining the cause on their own through the Star Speedway Racing Against Cancer "Hundred Club".  This is a $100 donation to Racing Against Cancer with teams recieveing a custom members sticker, name on the Star Speedway and TJ Webber Racing Against Cancer webpages and an appreciation placque from TJ Webber Racing at the seasons end.  Ben Rowe and his Superior Image #00 and Andy Shaw's Matco Tools #66 were the first two teams to sign up for the program.

Pro All Stars Series President Tom Mayberry and New England Race Fuels owners John Holland and Mike Joy are pleased to announce that Sunoco Race Fuel has been selected as the official fuel of the Pro All Stars Series. As the “spec” fuel of the PASS, all competitors will be required to practice and compete with either the Sunoco Race Fuel Standard or Supreme products at all PASS sanctioned events.

According to Mayberry, “ We’re excited to have Sunoco Race Fuel back with us in an expanded role for 2002. I feel strongly that selecting a “spec” fuel for the Pro All Stars is an important step in controlling costs and maintaining a level playing field for our competitors. We chose Sunoco because their products are available at all of the speedways where the PASS appears. They are the largest manufacturers of racing gas in the world, and their reputation for high quality consistent fuels at a reasonable price is well established. In addition, John and Mike have supported racers and racing in the Northeast for many years, and they share our concerns regarding cost control. On behalf of all Pro All Stars Series competitors, I’d like to welcome Sunoco and New England Race Fuels aboard once again and thank them for their support.”

Beginning with the April 14th New England Dodge Dealers 100 at Oxford Plains Speedway, fuel samples will be tested to insure compliance with the Sunoco spec fuel rule.

Of particular interest to racers is the fact that D.N.K. always has several late model “dually” crew cab and extra cab pick-ups in stock, perfect for the racer who wants to save thousands on a tow vehicle.
