Ben Rowe scores PASS North Firecracker 150 win

For Immediate Release: Media contact Norm Desjardins – racewithpass@yahoo.com

 

First PASS North checker of 2011 for the four time PASS North Champion

 

Canaan NH (7/3) Ben Rowe reclaimed the lead from Richie Dearborn on lap 116 of Saturday night's Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North Firecracker 150 at Canaan Fair Speedway and raced on for his first PASS North win of the season. Alex Gingras and Scott Dragon both earned career best finishes, crossing under the checkers in second and third.

 

Richie Dearborn and Rowe led the field to the first green flag and it was Dearborn jumping out front early but a red flag at lap seven for Jon Dickerman's slow roll on the back stretch put the action on hold briefly. Dearborn resumed control until Lonnie Sommerville charged by on the outside. Dearborn reclaimed the lead after a lap fifteen caution and kept the point until Rowe reeled him in and drove by for the lead at lap 28.

 

The field stayed clean and green until lap 83 when yellow flag number two flew for Scott Alexander's spin, followed by another caution for Chris Wilkes trip into the front stretch wall,ending a strong run for the Vermonter. Dearborn took advantage of the high line to take yet another turn out front, with Rowe, Gingras, Johnny Clark and Sommerville all giving chase..

 

Dearborn and Rowe gapped the field, both drivers charging hard for their first win of 2011. Caution number four brought the pair back to the field, and the high line gave Rowe the opportunity he needed. Rowe put the RMR four back out front and Johnny Clark slipped by Dearborn for second but contact from the 33 sent Clark off turn two. Dearborn received the black flag for his part in the incident and retired for the night. Meanwhile the sparks continued to fly when Clark and Donnie Lashua got together, dropping the pair back in the line up.

 

The front of the field was shuffled by the on track fireworks. Rowe kept his lead but Gingras was now second with Dragon,Donnie Whitten,Sommerville and Travis Benjamin racing in the top five. Rowe clearly had the fast car, but the battle for second on back was a good one. Gingras took control of that spot but Donnie Whitten and Travis Benjamin were battling to find a way around Dragon for the final podium position. With three to go Whitten tried a bottom move that didn’t work out, sending him around and setting up a three lap shoot out to the checkers. There was no beating Rowe on this night, and when the final flag flew it was Rowe,Gingras,Dragon,Benjamin,and Sommerville in the top five.

 

Richie Dearborn, Ben Rowe and Johnny Clark all claimed heat race wins.Nine cars completed all 150 green flag laps.

 

Andy Shaw made it three starts and three wins in the PASS Mod feature, using the high side to take the lead from Dana Reed on lap fifteen of the open wheelers forty lapper. Reed came up one spot short in second and Mitch Miller earned a solid third.

 

Sumner Sessions and Mark Lundblad Jr. led the field to the green but the field didn’t stay that way long as a series of early cautions marred the action. Sessions, Lundblad, Miller, Scott McDaniel and Reed all took turns leading early but once the defending series champ got out front the race stayed clean and green. At the checkers it was Shaw by half a front stretch. Dana Reed and Scott McDaniel scored in the heat races.

 

The PASS Super Late Models and Mods move on to Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough Maine on Saturday July 9th . Post time is 6:00 PM.

Johnny Clark rolls on, claims third PASS North win of 2011 at L'Autodrome Chaudiere

For Immediate Release: Media, contact Norm Desjardins

 

Mother Nature loses one to the racers in the PASS North Habitations Dany Lagace 150

 

Naples ME (6/27) Defending Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North Champion Johnny Clark earned his third super late model win of the young PASS North season Sunday in the PASS Habitations Dany Lagace 150 at L'Autodrome Chaudiere . Ben Rowe and Patrick Laperle chased Clark to the stripe.

 

PASS North's first trip to Quebec since 2004 was marred by rain. A bleak forecast delayed the event until Sunday, then it was a battle between mother nature, the tenacious Chaudiere track crew and PASS officials to get and keep a raceable track surface. In the end their efforts paid off and the hardy Quebec fans were treated to the kind of racing only super late models can provide.

 

Travis Benjamin led early on from the front row, eventually surrendering the lead to Ben Rowe.. Benjamin lost a tire and suffered a bone jarring crash that led to a red flag at lap sixty.The wreck ended a promising evening for the Morrill Maine racer.

 

When the field took flag man Mike Mayberry's green Clark was next to Ben Rowe up front, moving up from eleventh on the grid. Laperle lookedvlike Clark's serious challenger, taking over the second spot and trying to use the bottom to get by the leader. Laperle could get to Clark's numbers but couldn't take away the lead. Those challenges took their toll on the Quebec star's equipment and Clark was able to build a formidable lead. Ben Rowe took the second spot from Laperle at lap 125 and that's the way they raced to the finish.

 

Scott Chubbuck had an up and down day, surviving contact to race back fourth. Alex Gingras had yet another sold run in fifth despite mechanical issues and a spin.Points contender Lonnie Sommerville lost some ground, falling out on lap 58 with mechanical problems.

 

Clark and Ben Rowe each earned a heat race win. Eight of the twnety starters completed all 150 green flag laps.

 

The PASS North super late model trail moves to New Hampshire's Canaan Fair Speedway on Saturday July 2 for the Firecracker 150. They'll be joined by the PASS Mods for a spectacular night of racing that includes monster trucks and firworks. All the details can be found at www.proallstarsseries.com and www.canaanspeedways.com .

ÉCLATANTE VICTOIRE DE JOHNNY CLARK EN PASS

Communiqué pour diffusion  2011-06-26

 

Du jamais vu à l'Autodrome Chaudière

 

Les vingt voitures présentent de la Série Pass ont donné tout un spectacle aux amateurs de son, d'habilité et de vitesse, dans le cadre du «HABITATIONS DANY LAGACÉ PASS 150. Spectateurs patients pour tout dire, car le programme a été retardé à huit reprises suite aux caprices de dame nature. Avec tous ces délais, la finale a débuté vers les 19h00 devant un ciel presque bleu.

 

Pendant les trente-huit premiers tours, Travis Benjamin #17 et Benji Rowe #4 s'échangent la position de tête. Au 39ième passage, Rowe prend les commandes et Johnny Clark #54 le suit. Vingt-deux tours plus tard, Benjamin suite à une crevaison frappe le mur entre la courbe 3 et 4 et sa soirée de travail est terminée.

 

Du 62ième tour au 76ième tour Rowe et Clark tourne côte à côte et c'est au 77ième passage que Clark prend la pôle devant Patrick Laperle #91 et Benji Rowe. Toute une bataille entre Clark, Laperle et Rowe jusqu'à la fin de l'épreuve. Laperle et Rowe s'échange la deuxième position à tour de rôle.

 

Au 125ième tour, Clark domine toujours, mais Rowe a le meilleur sur Laperle. Et c'est ainsi que ce termine cette finale de 150 tours avec Johnny Clark comme grand vainqueur, suivi  de Mike Rowe et de Patrick Laperle. Scott Chubbuck # 77 et Alexandre Gingras #27 complète le «Big Five».Belle performance de Jean-François Déry et de Kevin Roberge.
