CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Southern Modified Racing Series Presented By PASS, a Tour-type Modifieds series that will race on some of the South’s most historic speedways, will launch its inaugural season in 2016. The inaugural season will see the Southern Modified Racing Series Presented By PASS competing tentatively in 10 events, several of which will pair the new Modified division with the PASS South Super Late Models in an unprecedented series of races. The first Southern Modified Racing Series Presented By PASS is tentatively scheduled for March 26 at Hickory Motor Speedway as part of the 11th Annual Easter Bunny 150 weekend. The Southern Modified Racing Series Presented By PASS will also race with the PASS South Super Late Models and the NASCAR Late Model Stocks at Anderson Motor Speedway on June 17. The inaugural Southern Modified Racing Series Presented By PASS champion will be crowned on Nov. 4 at Concord Speedway, the night prior to the 14th Annual North-South Shootout. The PASS Super Late Model National and PASS South Super Late Model champions will be crowned the following day at Concord as part of the North-South Shootout. “After a lot of inquiries from teams and drivers over the last several weeks, the Pro All Stars Series is happy to team up with Renee [Hackett] and her staff in the creation of the South’s most exciting new series,” said PASS President Tom Mayberry. “We believe the Southern Modified Racing Series Presented By PASS, coupled with the PASS South Super Late Models at a number of venues, will give fans the opportunity to see the two most powerful divisions in short track racing competing together in some definite ‘can’t miss’ action.” 2016 Southern Modified Racing Series Presented By PASS schedule Date – Venue – Location March 26 – Hickory Motor Speedway – Newton, N.C.
