Latest ASA Late Model Series Press Releases

1. The ASA Late Model Series....and now the rest of the story.

Lexington, Michigan (10/23/2007): The ASA Late Model Series is a premier and distinctive late model touring series. A series that was born into its rich grassroots history through the racers for the racers.

The series has always been a topic of interest to the fans, racers, media and other series across the country. What makes this series so intriguing to so many?

It all started back in 2002 when an idea was born on (believe it or not) a message board. (The Michigan Short Track Racing Club). The idea was to start a late model crate engine series that was cost effective with a rules package created by racers to keep the cost of racing down.

Talk is one thing especially on a message board, but to take the next step and host a meeting about a new series created by racers is another thing. That is just what happened.

In February of 2002 in Lansing, Michigan; Select drivers were invited to discuss the rules that had been formulated to date and to design a USPRO Cup race car. Tim Felver, Mark Kortz and Phil Massuch, all super late model champions, as well as drivers from factory stock to limited late model to modified drivers attended the "invitation only " meeting.

Dange Hanniford

Born to race; it’s the only thing he can remember wanting to do. He was born and raised only minutes from “The Track Too Tough Too Tame”, so it would have been hard to not want to race. He’s been around racing his entire life, traveling to local race tracks with his family since he was six-weeks old.

Dange has an excellent working knowledge of a racecar, along with the driving ability to compete with the best. It’s not often that you find that in a driver these days. Dange has taken the old-school approach to racing, working his way from the bottom to the top, learning not only how to drive, but also how to build and maintain his cars along the way.

2006 He received an offer to run a limited schedule in the Hooters Pro Cup series for a southern division team. After qualifying for the Championship, Dange signed on to run for the Hooter Pro Cup Championship with NASCAR Busch team, Mac Hill Motorsports in the #65s Chevy Monte Carlo SS and finish 2 points short of the Rookie of the Year.

In 2007, Hanniford will run the full schedule in the Southern Hooters Pro Cup division and compete in his first NASCAR Busch series race at Richmond on May 4, 2007.

Eric McClure Quotes:

(On Memphis)

“It’s a fun racetrack, very old school. I had a decent run there a couple of years ago, a potential top 10 run going. There is always a lot of cars at Memphis due to it being a stand-alone race, so we will have to get qualified. We’re taking the same car to every track now, and it was good at Richmond, so hopefully we’ll be prepared and can get in the show.”

(On his St. Jude’s Participation)

“St. Jude’s is such an awesome organization and the work they do is amazing. It’s an honor for the HeftyÒ racing team to have the opportunity to participate with them for this event. It puts everything into perspective to be around these children, see what they go through, and the smiles they wear. It’s really humbling.”

Clements Looks Forward to Racing to Save Lives in Memphis Busch Debut

SPARTANBURG, SC (October 23, 2007) – At 22 years-old Jeremy Clements has already experienced his share of challenges, testaments of will and miracles following a horrific racing incident that nearly cost him his right hand in 2004. Thanks to the dedication and skill of a team of doctors led by Dr. Joseph Molnar at Wake Forest University’s Baptist Medical Center, the talented, young racer is now able to live his dream and help others in the process.

Weeks prior to the NASCAR Busch Series’ event at nearby Lowe’s Motor Speedway, Jeremy received the call he had waited for after countless reconstructive surgeries and hundreds of hours of physical therapy. John McGill, owner of the No. 36 McGill Motorsports team from nearby Boiling Springs, extended a generous offer to allow the Palmetto State driver to join his team for that race.

Seizing the opportunity, the Spartanburg racer reunited with former ARCA RE/MAX Series’ crew chief Ricky Pearson and had a strong showing in a race studded with nineteen Nextel Cup drivers. Jeremy and the unsponsored No. 36 team advanced eleven spots for a strong top-25 finish and proved to be a strong duo.

“I am so thankful for John & Nancy McGill, Ricky Pearson and the entire No. 36 team for the opportunity. And also for my long-time friends and supporters The Saxon Group and Kelly Hamrick for their contributions,” noted Clements. “They are helping me make my dream a reality. We had a car that continued to improve and unfortunately got caught up in a wreck after the leader spun late in the race and that slowed more progress but I am confident going in to this weekend’s race at Memphis.”

McGill extended the offer for Clements to return to the seat of the No. 36 for two of the four remaining races – Memphis Motorsports Park and Texas Motor Speedway. Both events will be debut performances for the ARCA RE/MAX Series’ competitor and may open doors to conclude the season with the team as they continue to make strides both on and off the track.

"If we wouldn't have got caught in that wreck, that kid would have finished in the top 15 at Lowe's against all of those Nextel Cup guys," crew chief Ricky Pearson said. "That run got our whole team excited. Jeremy drove hard every lap. We haven't had that all year. We're going to give him a couple of more shots."

The McGill’s have extended their generosity to help a worthy cause and participate in St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital’s “Racing to Save Lives” campaign. The No. 36 Chevy that Jeremy will drive will feature a special paint scheme designed by 8 year-old Michael who is a patient at the hospital. In honor of the patients of St. Jude and to draw attention to the miraculous work the staff provides to children there, McGill Motorsports and fifteen other teams will carry these special schemes.

Clements is confident that his team will be able to continue to make strides and build momentum towards the 2008 season.

"I'm pretty excited to have a chance to build off what we did at Lowe's," he added. “That was one of the toughest races of the year and we were able to make a strong advance. It will be my first race at Memphis and on a short track but I have a lot of confidence in my team and I know we will give it a valiant effort for St. Jude and Michael. If we can hang on to be there in the end, I believe that we can earn a top-15 finish and hopefully turn the heads of some potential sponsors.”

Jeremy Clements will be behind the wheel of the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital emblazoned No. 36 McGill Motorsports Chevy for this Saturday’s “Sam’s Town 250” at nearby Memphis Motorsports Park. The green flag will drop for the event at 3:00 p.m. EST and be broadcasted on Sirius and MRN Radio along with live televised coverage on ESPN2.

Boiling Springs, SC, based McGill Motorsports has given Clements the opportunity to also compete in his first ever performance at Texas Motor Speedway on November 3rd. Pending sponsorship for that event and the remaining two events of the 2007 NASCAR Busch Series at Phoenix International Raceway (Nov. 10) and Homestead-Miami Speedway (Nov. 17), Clements may be able to wrap up the season on a high-note with the team. Organizations looking to get on the advertising fast track and join forces with McGill Motorsports and Jeremy Clements should contact John McGill at (561) 741-6108 or online at http://www.mcgillmotorsports.com . More information on Jeremy Clements and the special scheme created by Michael is available online at http://www.jeremyclementsracing.com and you can register for the Racing to Save Lives campaign to help children with cancer by logging on to http://www.racingtosavelives.org
