\"\"CHARLOTTE, NC (January \u2013 Pro All Stars Series (PASS) officials released today the schedule and entry forms for Super Late Model racing\u2019s first major points event of the season, the Inaugural Florida Winter Meltdown at Auburndale Speedway on February 8-9. The Florida Winter Meltdown will be 200 green flag laps and will serve as the first event of the 2013 PASS National Series. Drivers from across the country including former PASS National Champions Ben Rowe and Jay Fogleman are expected to invade the tough quarter mile in Winter Haven to battle some of Florida\u2019s best Super Late Model drivers. PASS regulars DJ Shaw, Joey Doiron, Tate Fogleman, and Bill Catania have also announced their intentions to compete for the $6,000 winner\u2019s share of the purse.
\n\u201cFor the better part of a century, racers from all over North America have flocked to Florida in the Winter to get out of the cold and heat things on the raceways of the Sunshine State,\u201d said PASS President Tom Mayberry. \u201cThis year is set to be the biggest year yet for PASS and I can\u2019t think of a better way to kick things off than at Auburndale with the Inaugural Florida Winter Meltdown.\u201d
\nThe Meltdown marks a return of sorts to Florida for the PASS competitors, some who raced at an event held on Florida\u2019s \u201cSpace Coast\u201d in 2010 won by veteran driver Brad Leighton. Auburndale Speedway\u2019s quarter mile layout could be more conducive to PASS North racers who compete on similarly styled tracks in New England. But, Auburndale has also drawn comparisons to the tough short tracks of the Mid-Atlantic on the PASS South schedule. And, certainly local knowledge has to be acknowledged with a large contingent of Florida Super Late Model drivers hoping to make their mark on the PASS National Series.
\nAction gets under way on Friday, February 8 with practice for PASS Super Late Models ONLY from 3-7 PM. On Saturday, February 9 gates open at 10 AM with rotating practice for the PASS Super Late Models, Open Wheel Modifieds, Legends, Bandoleros, and Figure 8\u2019s from 12-3:45 PM. The PASS Super Late Models, Open Wheel Modifieds and Legends will qualify at 4:30 and racing will begin at 6 PM promptly. The complete weekend schedule and PASS Super Late Model entry forms for the Florida Winter Meltdown can be found at ProAllStarsSeries.com.
\nThe Pro All Stars Series is recognized as North America\u2019s premier sanctioning body for asphalt Super Late Models and boasts such marquee events as the PASS Northwest Series, the Autobus Le Quebecois Triple Crown, the Easter Bunny 150, and the legendary Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway.
