Pro All Stars Series officials have announced the tentative 2017 schedule for the PASS South super late models.

The PASS South schedule will be highlighted in 2017 by the return to two of the series original tracks with events at Southern National Motorsports Park and Orange County Speedway. With 10 dates confirmed, the PASS South super late models will visit at least six different venues over the course of the 2017 season.

The 2017 season will start once again on Super Bowl weekend, Feb. 3-4, at Dillon Motor Speedway with the return of the Winter Meltdown and an expansion of the annual South Carolina Clash.  The Winter Meltdown will also be the first event of the PASS National Championship Series.

The PASS South super late models will then move to the Tarheel State for race number two of the season on Saturday, March 4 as they return to Southern National Motorsports Park in Kenly, N.C.  PASS will be the exclusive super late model series at Southern National next year and will be joined by a major support division for this event.

Just three weeks later, PASS heads to another North Carolina favorite as the series returns to Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, N.C., for the first of two visits in 2017.  The 10th Orange Blossom Special will go green on Saturday, March 25 and then the series will return for the penultimate race of the season on Saturday, Oct. 21.

Hickory Motor Speedway, the longest tenured facility on the PASS South circuit dating back to 2006, will once again hold the annual Easter Bunny 150.  The 12th Annual Easter Bunny 150 is slated for Saturday, April 15. PASS will also return to Hickory for its traditional Fall date on Saturday night, Sept. 23.

In May, the series will move to the two biggest tracks on the schedule.  Caraway Speedway near Asheboro, N.C., will host a special Friday night event on May 4.  PASS will then expand its relationship with Concord Speedway near Charlotte by again hosting the Old Glory Weekend on May 26-27 as part of the big Memorial Day festivities in the Charlotte area.  The famed triangular half-mile, known for its legendary Big 10 Series, will see the PASS South super late models race on Saturday night, May 27.

PASS will close out the 2017 season by crowning the series champion at the 15th annual North-South Shootout, but a venue for that event has not been confirmed. The 14th annual North-South Shootout is being held at Concord Speedway this year.

Confirmation on that event and any additional dates will be released by Nov. 1.
