Pro All Stars Series & Performance Friction Form Relationship

There is something to go along with success. Its draws people’s eyes. It gets people’s attention. It makes them stand up and say, “I need to be a part of that.” That is the kind of reaction that Tom Mayberry has experienced with the Pro All Star Series since its inception and first race in May of 2001.

Now, it’s paying off, as the PASS organization is running several successful tours, including the highly-competitive PASS North and PASS South Super Late Model Series. That success has brought attention, and that is what has attracted some of the best sponsors in the Motorsports world.

The Pro All Stars Series today announced Performance Friction Brakes through BSR Products as a contingency sponsor of both the PASS North and PASS South Super Late Model Series. Performance Friction will be introducing a program that will include several awards, including product certificates and a complete brake caliper set to a competitor at the end of the season.

“We want to expand ourselves more in the Short Track and grassroots side of racing and get our name out there, and a great way to do that is with PASS,” said Derek Spencer, Motorsports Tech/Sales Manager for Performance Friction Brakes. “Obviously, a lot of people have used our product and we want to give a little bit back to the guys that are, as well as get others to try out our product.

“We all know the types of cars (Super Late Models) that run with the PASS North and South and that’s a big part of why we wanted to do this. I haven’t been to any of their races yet, but from speaking with people about them, seeing their cars at Speedfest and reading all about

them on sites like Speed51.com, I know that they are some of the coolest cars out there. The series is run well and the officials and teams have their stuff together. That is one of the most important things about becoming involved with PASS.”

Performance Friction will award the fifth-place finisher in each PASS North and PASS South race with a $50 certificate to be used at BSR Products toward a purchase on Performance Friction brakes. At the end of the year, at each series’ respective banquet, a competitor will walk away with a complete Super Late Model brake caliper set from Performance Friction and BSR Products.

“I think it’s great when companies like Performance Friction step up into the mix,” said Mayberry, PASS Owner and President. “A lot of these companies think that Nextel Cup and Busch are the ways to go, but they have to realize that there are a lot of local and short track racers out there using their products as well, and using them loyally.

“To have a company like Performance Friction come to the series and offer some contingency programs for our drivers shows them that they support all kinds of racing. We’re really honored to have Performance Friction come on board, and I’m sure they will gain a few more clients out of their involvement with PASS as well.”

There are still many contingency programs available for both the PASS North and PASS South Super Late Model Series, as well as PASS Outlaws, PASS Mods and the PASS Sportsman Series. The PASS North Series operates a 14-race schedule that begins in April and runs through September in the Northeast. The PASS South Super Late Models compete in an eight-race schedule that begins in early April and runs through November, where it concludes with the Mason-Dixon Meltdown, this year to be run at Concord Motorsport Park in North Carolina.
