Columbus, Mississippi- The Promoters Racing Organization (P.R.O.) Super Late Model Series will host its inaugural event as it invades Columbus Speedway in Columbus, Mississippi this Saturday, March 13th.

The newly formed P.R.O. Series was designed with two thoughts in mind. First, the tour wanted to give Super Late Model racers in the Mississippi/Tennessee/Alabama/Arkansas area a place to race close to home for purses that they could afford to race their cars. Secondly, the sanction wanted to have special event purses that would allow tracks to afford having a Super Late Model special. With eleven races already on the docket, and more still to be added things have come to fruition.

Drivers have also begun to voice their intent to compete for the tour championship. Drivers, who have indicated an intent to possibly contend for the title already include David Breazeale, Neil Baggett, Rick Rickman, Ross Camponovo, Kyle Beard, Brian Rickman, Ray Mauldin, Anthony Burroughs, Mark Dodson, Klint Byars, Dean Carpenter, Jason Milam, Jeremy Glasgow, Johnny
Stokes, Bradley Price, Jimbo McDuffie, Stacy Caldwell, Bo Gordon, and more.

Drivers, who run for the tour P.R.O. Championship will be presented with a unique opportunity. They will be eligible for the P.R.O. point’s fund, which boasts at least $5,000 to the champion, and a top ten payout that will be determined by sponsorship and entry fees. There is no membership fee required to be eligible for the P.R.O. point’s fund, and a driver’s ten best finishes count toward the final point’s standings.

Drivers, who run the P.R.O. Super Late Model Series will also be eligible for the NeSmith Super Late Model Series point’s fund if they buy a $100 NeSmith membership. The best ten finishes from each driver in P.R.O. series action will be counted toward the point’s fund in the NeSmith Super Late Model Series as well, which boasts a $10,000 first place prize for the point’s fund. As a result, if a driver opts to buy a NeSmith membership, then they will be eligible for two point’s fund, and a total possible point’s prize of $15,000 for just running at least ten events with the P.R.O. tour!

In addition to the other posted prizes, if a driver wins the NeSmith Super Late Model Series title utilizing a CT525 motor, then they will receive an additional $5,000 bonus.

Clarksdale, Mississippi - “The Big Boss” Ross Camponovo finally shook the early season monkey off his back on Saturday night as he powered his #18 R.C. Motorsports/Rocket/RPM Racing Engine Super Late Model to a second place finish at Columbus Speedway.

Ross returned to action on Saturday night as he traveled to Columbus Speedway in Columbus, Mississippi for the 2010 season opener at the facility. Eighteen Super Late Models entered the event, and Ross blazed to the third fastest qualifying time, which earned him the third starting spot for the 25 lap feature. As the event got underway, Camponovo raced past Jay Burchfield to take over the second spot as he set his sights on the leader, Rick Rickman. Despite having a good car, Ross’s car was not quite as good as the leader Rickman, and would chase him for the entire feature. When the checkered flag fell, Ross was credited with a very solid second place finish.

“After having crazy mechanical failures the past few races, I was starting to wonder if I was ever going to finish another race. Man it feels good to have such a strong run, and I just hope we can have another one at Columbus next week,” commented Camponovo. This Saturday, March 13th Ross will return to Columbus Speedway for the inaugural event for the newly formed Promoters Racing Organization (P.R.O.) Super Late Model tour. Ross has plans to run for the P.R.O. tour championship and his pursuit will begin with the Columbus event.

Monroe, LA (March 11, 2010)  Good news that could put the Monroe Motor Speedway back on track for good.

The speedway filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.

That move puts a halt on the sheriff’s sale that would have auctioned off the track next week.

What does this mean for the track?

The Monroe Motor Speedway started hitting some rough potholes in November.

That’s when the track’s investor petitioned to put the track up for sale because the board couldn’t pay on the over $4 million loan.  The latest bankruptcy filing promises a smother track for the speedway.

The Monroe Motor Speedway sits motionless, it’s future racing cars put in park since November.  But Chapter 11 Bankruptcy filed in court Tuesday gives the track hope to roll again as soon as April.

“They’ll be able to race this season, there’s a new board of directors in place,” said Monroe Motor Speedway Bankruptcy Attorney Bradley Drell.

Monroe Speedway Bankruptcy Attorney Bradley Drell says bad management is why the track almost hit a dead end in the first place.  “Maybe too many free tickets as it were which kind of hurt the revenues and they’re now going to closely monitor that,” said Drell.

The track was supposed to be sold by the sheriff’s office Wednesday the 17th.

BizCapital, the track’s investor claimed they hadn’t received payment on the $4 million loan in six months back last fall.  Drell says the investor is ready to help the speedway get back in the right direction.

“But the first meeting or teleconference was very positive as far as them working with us in the bankruptcy process to keep the racetrack operating,” said Drell.

Drell says his bankruptcy petition lays out a plan to operate in the future with a new board of directors.

He says money is already being raised to start cash flowing down the track again, like sponsorships and pit passes for drivers.   “We have some folks that we are contacting businesses to sponsor the track,” said Drell.

We spoke to Gus Campbell, the track’s president late this afternoon.   He says he’s thrilled the Monroe Speedway is moving forward, and he looks forward to seeing cars roll around the track in the near future.

Muscle Shoals, Alabama-Anthony Burroughs continued his torrid start to the 2010 season over the weekend in his #121 ALT
Transportation/Mastersbilt By Stuckey/Wall-2-Wall Racing Engine Super Late Model as he picked up a second place finish in Southern Regional Racing Series action.

Anthony traveled to Duck River Speedway in Wheel, Tennessee on Saturday for the $3,000 to win, Southern Regional Racing Series Super Late Model event. Thirty-three Super Late Models entered the event and Burroughs set the fastest time in his group and second fastest time overall to earn the outside front row starting spot for the main event. With the track being primarily locked down on the bottom for the feature, Burroughs would fall to second at the drop of the green flag and would go on to challenge the leader, Ronny Lee Hollingsworth, for the entire event before settling for a second place finish.

“Ronny Lee and I were pretty equal in the feature, and he just got the jump on me at the start of the race, and with passing being so difficult, I just had to settle for second. This was another great finish for this team!” commented Burroughs.

Burroughs and ALT Motorsports are preparing for a busy weekend. Friday night’s plans will be determined by Mother Nature, but as of right now the team plans to enter the $5,000 to win, Southern All Star Super Late Model event at Boyds Speedway in Ringgold, Georgia.
