Rowe Family Survives to Place First and Second in Antigonish PASS North Race

By admins July 24, 2007

Naples, ME — As the contenders around them fell to various problems, Mike Rowe and his son Ben rose to the top on Sunday afternoon in the IWK 250 Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North event at Riverside Speedway in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. The race was delayed from Saturday night until Sunday afternoon due to rain.

Mike Rowe won the race over Ben Rowe, but it didn’t come easily. Both Maine racers had flat tires during the event. They did fare better though than many of their competitors. Johnny Clark and Shawn Turple battled with Mike Rowe for the lead, but both were involved in wrecks. Former NASCAR Nextel Cup Series driver Ricky Craven also wrecked. Heat race winner Bill Penfold suffered from a mechanical problem with his #0 machine.

The Rowes did have to fend off a strong challenge from NASCAR Nextel Cup Series driver Regan Smith late in the race though. Smith pressured Mike Rowe for the lead, but dropped to third at the finish.

Finishing behind the Rowes and Smith were PASS North regular Richie Dearborn and Prince Edward Island driver Greg Proude.

The victory was Mike Rowe’s second of the PASS North season.

Ben Rowe, Derek Ramstrom, Bill Penfold and Cassius Clark all won their heat races.

The PASS North Super Late Models will return to action Saturday, July 28th at Riverside Speedway in Groveton, New Hampshire.

The 2007 PASS Super Late Model schedules will be highlighted by two major fall events. The PASS 400 weekend at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway (ME) is set for September 23rd-24th and the Second Annual Mason-Dixon Meltdown is scheduled for Concord Motorsport Park on November 16th-17th.
