Fireworks and Fast Cars at Anderson Motor Speedway Marks PASS South Series’ Halfway Point of 2012 Season

Charlotte, NC 6/27/12– The PASS South Series drivers and teams now turn their attention to the Anderson Motor Speedway in Williamston, South Carolina the site of the next event on the series’ sixteen race schedule. The Firecracker 150 event on Tuesday July 3rd, celebrating the nation’s birthday, marks the halfway point of the series’ schedule so far in 2012. While some drivers are more than happy with their performances thus far this season and their positioning in the championship standings, other drivers hope that the abrasive Anderson Motor Speedway is the start of something better as the season hits the second half of the schedule.

Two drivers with an A+ grade at the halfway point of the season go to the two drivers tied for the top spot in the championship standings. Kyle Grissom and Brandon Ward are locked in a dead heat for first with 1262 championship points each. Neither Grissom nor Ward has ever raced Anderson behind the wheel of a super late model. This fact alone should make for an interesting race for both drivers come Tuesday night. (more…)
