Mike Rowe captures PASS Bastille 200 – Whitten, Landry claim Mod and Sportsman wins

Naples ME (4/14/10)    Mike Rowe stole the lead from Johnny Clark on a restart with twelve laps to go to capture the Pro ALL Stars Series (PASS) Bastille 200 at Lee (NH) USA Speedway Tuesday night.  Clark had to settle for second; Ben Rowe raced under the checkers third. DJ Shaw and Richie Dearborn completed the top five.

 

Clark looked like he was on his way to PASS North win number four of 2010, setting a blistering pace that left the field in another zip code over the second half of the 200 lap grind.  But Mike Rowe was lurking inside the top ten all night long and he turned on the jets with fifty laps to go in an effort to chase down the leader.  Still, it looked like his effort would come up one spot short until the final yellow flag of the night flew.  The pair let it all hang out on the restart and Rowe took over for good after a little contact between the pair coming out of turn three.

Kelly Moore led a bunch of laps early on until Gary Smith snatched the lead from Moore under green. Both drivers slid back as the night wore on, Smith settling for sixth and Moore eighth at the end of 200 green flag laps. Travis Benjamin made a surprise appearance behind the wheel of one of Richard Moody Racing’s rides and he was spectacular, taking the lead from Johnny Clark on lap 78. Benjamin paced the field until lap 99 when a flat tire ended his run, handing the lead back to Smith.

Wholesale pit stops left just two cars circling the speedway, and Johnny Clark quickly dispatched Rookie Joey Doiron and Scott Dragon to reassume the lead. That’s the way it went for ninety laps until Rowe got his shot at Clark and the win on the nights’ final restart.

Rowe’s margin of victory was .386 seconds. Seven cars completed all 200 laps in a face paced race that was slowed by four caution periods. Derek Ramstrom, Scott Chubbuck and Kelly Moore each won a qualifying race.

Wayne Whitten Jr. knows his way around the Lee oval and he proved it once again, winning the PASS Mod feature after a 20 lap duel with Andy Shaw .Rich Ferriera looked strong in the first half of the event until he gave up the lead to Whitten and retired shortly thereafter.  Scott McDaniel, Bill Dixon, Sulo Burbank and Leo Oliveira came under the checkers third through fifth.

Showers set in just prior to the start of the 75 lap PASS Sportsman feature but a determined effort by the LEE USA track crew and the drivers themselves got the feature on track after a short delay. R.J. Austin and Dan McKeage were scheduled to lead the field to the green but McKeage had a soft right rear that forced a pit stop and a start at the tail end of the field. Austin led  twenty six laps from the green but the final fifty laps became a battle between home track ace Grant Aither and PASS sportsman regular Mike Landry.  The pair raced nose to tail,  Aither holding down the point until a lap 63 restart gave Landry the opportunity he was looking for. Landry raced Aither side by side until lap 67 when he put his ride out front for good.

Second went to Aither, with Jim Russell and Nate Leavitt third and fourth. Dan McKeage came from the back of the field for a fine fifth.

 Next stop for the PASS super late models and Mods   is Scarborough Maine when    Beech Ridge Motor Speedway hosts   the two touring series plus their own Sport Series, Road Runners and Wildcats. Post time on Saturday July 17th is 6:00 PM.

Pro All Stars Series news: PASS North Beech Ridge preview

For Immediate release: Media contact Norm Desjardins @ (603) 387-5598

Beech Ridge a key stop in the heart of the 2010 PASS North schedule

NAPLES ME (7/7/10) Mother Nature has turned up the thermostat and so has the Pro All Stars Series as the toughest month of the super late model schedule moves on to  Scarborough Maine’s Beech Ridge Motor Speedway on Saturday July 10. Beech Ridge is the second stop of a five race month for the super late models and it’s likely that many teams will measure thei seasons’  success based on their results in July.

 

The family focused oval produces some of the closest racing around and the Beech  Ridge Pro Series regulars that often come out to challenge the touring teams are always competitive. 2009 track champion Mike Rowe, Aaron Ricker, Chuck Colby, and a whole lot more are well capable of running up front. Former PASS North regular Mike Rowe whipped up on the field in the series’ first 2010 appearance at the immaculate Holmes Road oval. The 2006 PASS South Champion came from 28th in the field to deny Adam Bates and Ben Rowe the Sunoco checkered flag

Adam Bates’ last PASS super late model win came in the 2009 edition of this event, and the Warner New Hampshire speedster is hungry for another. The team looked good at Beech Ridge in the spring, and they are coming off a top five at Canaan Fair Speedway over the holiday weekend.

Ben Rowe earned his first win of 2010 at Canaan Fair and his team will be looking to get a win streak of their own started, after denying Johnny Clark a record breaking four straight PASS North SLM victories. Richie Dearborn earned a podium finish last weekend, and the Dick and Deb Dearborn owned team will try to build on that momentum at Beech Ridge. Rookie point leader Joey Doiron has to be ready to get back to familiar territory Saturday night; Doiron crossed the stripe fourth at Beech Ridge in the spring, his best result to date. Donnie Whitten has been coming on strong in recent weeks with top tens at Unity, Speedway 660 and Canaan.

PASS fans have to be wondering when Trevor Sanborn will finally earn a PASS North win. He’s led a pile of laps but hasn’t been able to seal the deal for Richard Moody’s team, even though they’ve scored twice in PASS South competition.

There are plenty of other potential winners. Johnny Clark wants to score at a track that he readily admits isn’t one of his best. Clark earned his first feature win  at White Mountain Motorsports Park in May  after many years of trying. He will  try to duplicate that feat at Beech Ridge.

The PASS Mods are slated for a 40 lap feature Saturday night.  Chris Staples won the season opener with Wayne Whitten Jr. and Jon Brill hot on his heats. The speedway’s own Sport Series, Wildcats and Road Runners will all be in action. Post time on Saturday July 10 is 6:00 PM.

Tuesday July 13th the PASS super late models are joined by the PASS Mod and Sportsman series at Lee (NH) USA Speedway, then its a trip to southern New England for round three of the five race PASS National Championship series for the super late models on Thursday night July 22nd at Thompson (CT) Speedway. On Saturday July 31 Summerfest 2010 at Groveton New Hampshire’s Riverside Speedway will round  out the month’s schedule for both the super late models and the Mod squad.
