The inaugural Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Commonwealth Classic at Richmond Raceway (Richmond) is ten days away. The penultimate race of the PASS National Championship Series will showcase some of series’ biggest names at Richmond on Saturday, October 20.

The Tour-Type Modifieds make their first return to Richmond since 2002.

Fellow drivers Blake Barney, Sammy Rameau, Richard Savory, Chris Finocchario, and Kyle Soper will also look to score the victory in what is stock car racing’s oldest division.
