Pro All Stars Series news: PASS North Unity Raceway preview

For Immediate Release: Media contact Norm Desjardins

PASS Celebrates Fathers Day with a  Unity Triple Header

NAPLES ME (6/16) All  three PASS North racing series are back on track this Sunday June 20   at Unity (ME) Raceway, a favorite stop for the Pro All Stars Series’ drivers and fans.

 

The speedway is a throwback to an earlier time when race tracks were a little rough around the edges. The covered grandstand from a bygone era remains and when drivers stray off the asphalt they can easily find themselves atop a sand bank or in a trackside ditch. But the racing surface, dips, bumps and all, breeds some of the best side by side racing you’ll find anywhere and  hardcore race fans  never miss a PASS appearance

Unity is also a favorite of Johnny Clark’s, which could spell bad news for the rest of the field. Clark has a mini win streak going with victories at White Mountain Motorsports Park and Speedway 660.The defending series champ will be going all out to make it three in a row in his drive for five series titles.

It won’t be a walk in the park for Clark. There’s always plenty of competition when the Pro All Stars come to town. Randy Turner cut his racing teeth at Unity and last season the home town hero toppled the touring regulars, earning his first PASS North race win. He’ll look for two in a row Sunday in the Fathers’ Day 150. Ben Rowe, Adam Bates, Scott Chubbuck, Scott Alexander, Travis Benjamin, Trevor Sanborn, Gary Smith, Cassius Clark and Kelly Moore are all looking for their first win of the young season. Bill Penfold will make his first PASS start in quite some time, and Shane Lane will be making his first PASS appearance of 2010. Quebec’s Alexandre Gingras. Rookie candidate Joey Doiron, Donnie Whitten and Nick Ribbe are all pre-entered.as well.

The excitement doesn’t end with the Father’s Day 150. Both the PASS Sportsman and Mod series are on the card with a 75 lap go for the Sportsman and 40 rounds for the Mods.  In the Sportsman ranks  Clyde Hennessey and defending series champ Carey Martin each have a win under their belt and you can bet that Mike Landry, Dan Mckeage, Shane Tatro and Billy Childs will give that pair all they can handle.

The PASS Mods have run a single race, won by multi-time series champ Chris Staples. Staples put his Super Late Model ride on its’ roof at Unity but he’ll look to heap the shiny side up on his way to victory lane Sunday. Expect a full field of PASS Mod regulars to try and deny Staples.

The NELCAR Legends round out a four division card guaranteed to keep fans on the edge of their seats. Practice goes green at 11:30 AM Sunday and the first heat gets the green at 3:00 PM sharp.
