Oxford, Maine — Dale Shaw of Center Conway, New Hampshire became the first repeat winner in the upgraded Pro Late Model division’s 40-lap feature race on Sunday at Oxford Plains Speedway, driving a Precision JLM-sponsored machine of his own creation.

Shaw, a former champion of the old NASCAR Busch North Series that defined the regional short track scene at the time, put the hammer down early to stay in front of chief rivals Shawn Martin of Turner and TJ Brackett of Buckfield en route to an early lead that proved to be insurmountable.

Eventual ninth-place finisher Vanna Brackett of Buckfield led the first ten laps of the Pro Late Model race and was battling Oxford’s Adam Polvinen for the front running position when Shaw made a three-wide move that put him in the lead for good.

Scarborough, ME – DJ Shaw of Center Conway, New Hampshire drove from 19th starting position to victory lane in Saturday’s Southern Maine Motors 150 for Pro All Stars Series Super Late Models at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine.

Shaw methodically worked his way through a stellar field of contenders aboard his Precision JLM Ford, taking the lead away from Berwick, Maine’s Joey Doiron with about 30 laps remaining, then cruising to the checkered flag with relative ease once in command.

“It’s a good day for Dale Shaw Race Cars. First and second place,” said the winner, who builds, maintains and sets up race cars at the family business for a living.

Points Leaders Try To Stay On Top For PASS North Return To Beech Ridge

Published at April 30, 2013 in Beech Ridge, NELCAR, PASS, PASS Mod, PASS North and PASS Sportsman. Closed

NAPLES, ME — Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, ME has long been one of the stalwarts on the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North Super Late Model schedule. The facility has hosted PASS events since 2006 and provides some of the closest action seen anywhere on the circuit. And, much like the first event of the season at Oxford Plains Speedway, this weekend’s Southern Maine Motors 150 will serve as a precursor to one of the biggest races of the season, the PASS 400 weekend at Beech Ridge in September. In fact, the racing has been so competitive that in the last five PASS events at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway, five different drivers have gone to victory lane. Among those drivers is Joey Doiron, who scored his first career PASS North victory in last year’s Southern Maine Motors 150. And, if last year’s races are any indication, Doiron believes there will be no substitution for a good setup.

“Well Beech Ridge over the last two years has become a one groove racetrack and the key to success there is to make sure your car can pass on the bottom because everyone else usually lines up on the outside,” said Doiron.

Doiron comes to Beech Ridge in 2013 riding a wave of momentum. He started the season off in February with a big PASS National Series win in the Florida Winter Meltdown and heads into Saturday’s Southern Maine Motors 150 second in points after a runner-up finish at Oxford Plains. Doiron hopes that knowledge gained in previous events at Beech Ridge can produce another win this weekend.

KENLY, NC — Preston Peltier looked to be on the way to his second straight Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model win, but slipped in oil from rookie Brandon Lynn’s car coming to the white flag handing Jay Fogleman the win in the Dogwood Blossom 150 Saturday night at Southern National Raceway Park. Fogleman’s 8th career win moves him out of a tie with Ben Rowe into sole possession of second place on the PASS South All Time Wins list.

“My spotter told me that there might be oiI going into turn three and when we got there Preston (Peltier) was about a lane higher than I was and got in it and we were able to get by and make it back to the checkered flag first,” said Fogleman. “I can’t thank Dicky Woodman and these guys enough for the car they gave me tonight. I’m gonna try to run as many races as I can driving other people’s cars because all the focus in my shop is on Tate (Fogleman’s son). He’s got a lot brighter future than I do.”

Beautiful weather greeted 32 PASS South Super Late Model teams to Southern National Raceway Park on Saturday afternoon for the series’ first trip to the speedway since 2009. In qualifying, Preston Peltier obliterated the PASS South track record at Southern National with a lap of 97.422 miles per hour around the high banked 4/10 mile track. Following the top ten qualifiers redraw to determine their starting positions in the main event, Peltier would draw pill #4 to start outside of the second row while his Johnson Motorsports teammate Tyler Church would pull pill #1 to start from the pole.

NORTH WOODSTOCK NH — Center Conway New Hampshire's DJ Shaw charged from deep in the field to take the lead on lap 53 of Sunday afternoon's Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North super late model feature, earning his second win of 2012 at North Woodstock, New Hampshire's White Mountain Motorsports Park. Shaw kept Lonnie Sommerville and Cassius Clark in his mirrors for the final seventy laps in a rain shortened 123 lap feature.

Kyle DeSouza and Lonnie Sommerville led the field to the green and Sommerville quickly dispatched with DeSouza for the early lead. Sommerville's teammate and car owner Scott Mulkern raced past DeSouza on a lap 27 restart and took the lead from Sommerville when the pair restarted after a lap 34 yellow. 15 laps later Sommerville reclaimed the lead but Shaw was ready to take up the challenge, moving up to second on lap 49. Shaw, who has a White Mountain late model track title to his credit, drove by Sommerville on lap 53 and opened up a commanding lead despite two more restart challenges from Sommerville. Mulkern's good day came to an end after a dust up with John Donahue sent him into the turn one wall, just as mother nature let loose with showers that ended the race.

The win was Shaw's second in as many outings. Now third in the season long point standings, he trails point leader Cassius Clark by twenty two and second place runner Travis Benjamin by three. His margin of victory was 1.171 seconds. Five caution flags slowed the action and twelve of the twenty one starters completed all the laps. DeSouza and Travis Benjamin won the qualifiers.

Clark Claims PASS North White Mountain Win

Published at September 11, 2011 in PASS, PASS Mod, PASS North and PASS Sportsman. 0 Comments

North Woodstock, NH — Johnny Clark kicked in the jets with 50 laps to go in Sunday afternoons Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North 150 at White
Mountain Motorsports Park, winning a side by side battle with DJ Shaw to take the lead on lap 131 and nip Shaw for his sixth PASS North win of 2011. Shaw led the majority of the 150 green flag laps but had to settle for second. PASS rookie Bryan Kruczek led his share of laps and raced home a strong third, with Alex Gingras and Lonnie Sommerville rounding out the top five.

For ten seasons Clark and his Clark’s Car Crushing team couldn’t find the key to PASS victory lane at White Mountain, but he ‘s now won 2 of his last three starts at the fast quarter mile. His victory coupled with points challenger Ben Rowe’s seventeenth place finish padded the defending series champions’ point lead. Rowe was caught up in an early race wreck that took the nose off RMR ride, destroying any chance of a win at one of his favorite speedways.

Shaw and Kruzcek were the show for much of the race. The pair shared the front row and from the drop of the green they battled tooth and nail, swapping the lead on several occasions and distancing themselves from the field. Kruczek took over the top spot on lap nine and kept it until lap 69 when Shaw made his move . At the crossed flags it was Shaw, and Kruczek out front with Sommerville, Gingras and Travis Benjamin all giving chase. Clark showed up in the top five at lap 85, picking off Gingras for fourth, Sommerville on lap 93 and Kruczek one lap later. Catching Shaw would be another matter though, as the Center Conway NH racer had his ride on a rail, and as the green flag laps ran down he was opening up a gap on Clark. But as so often happens, a yellow flag brought Shaw back to the field and the restart gave Clark the opportunity he needed to deny Shaw the checkers.

Maine’s midweek racers put on some of the most competitive and exciting racing out there and they will be in the spotlight Thursday September 9th when they kick off PASS 400 weekend ay Scarborough Maine’s Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. Depending on car count there’s up to fifty laps of racing and five hundred dollars on the line for the winners.

The back gate at Beech Ridge swings open at noon and practice gets underway at 2:00 PM.

Naples, ME  –  Andy Shaw came back strong after an early race tangle to pass Scott McDaniel on a lap 25 restart and win his third Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Mod feature of 2010 at Groveton New Hampshire’s Riverside Speedway. The win was Shaw’s eighth feauture victory in the ultracompetitive PASS open wheel division.

The 40 lap go got off to a rough start with a pair of cautions that involved several of the front runners including Mike Mayberry, Wayne Whitten Jr., Kevin Douglass and Shaw. After a pair of restarts a race finally broke out with Rich Ferreira out front. Scott McDaniel charged past Alan Wilson for second and claimed the lead from Ferreira on lap six. McDaniel had the look of a winner as he took off from the pack, building up a sizeable lead over Wayne Whitten Jr. Meanwhile Shaw was rumbling through the field after his lap four dustup joining a great scrap for second with Whitten, Wilson, and Ferreira.

By lap 23 second place was Shaw’s and he set sail to try and chase down McDaniel. McDaniel had done his best to run away from the rest of the field, building up a huge lead as the battle for position continued behind him.

PASS North Tackles Riverside Speedway Saturday at Summerfest 2010

Naples ME – The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) traveling road show heads for northern New Hampshire’s Riverside Speedway this weekend, headlining the Saturday July 31 edition of Summerfest 2010 at the tough little bullring nestled on the banks of the Connecticut River.

The PASS North Super Late Models will transition from the fastest track on the schedule to the series’ tightest when they pay their annual visit to the Groveton New Hampshire quarter mile. Ben Rowe is coming off a win at Thompson International Speedway where the average speeds reach 120 miles per hour, but the short track superstar is equally at home on the quarter miles. Still Rowe doesn’t have a “Grovetona” win to his credit, unlike Johnny Clark, Cassius Clark and Kelly Moore.

Cassius Clark is having a solid 2010. He’s third in the point standings with five top tens in eight starts, but there’s a big goose egg in his win column and Riverside might be the place where Clark corrects that. Johnny Clark seems to have taken a liking to Riverside’s high banks with feature wins in 2004 and 2008. The PASS North super late model point leader lost a few markers to Rowe at Thompson and he will be looking to regain those valuable championship points and more on Saturday night.

Naples, ME — Beech Ridge Pro Series racer Bill Rogers took advantage of a green-white-checker finish to beat Trevor Sanborn in Saturday night’s PASS 150 at Scarborough Maine’s Beech Ridge Motor Speedway . Cassius Clark, Scott Mulkern and Johnny Clark chased Rogers and Sanborn to the checkers.

Rogers didn’t luck into the win by any means. The Old Orchard Beach racer was fast throughout the night.

At the half-way mark it was Sanborn, Rogers, Chubbuck, Scott Mulkern and Cassius Clark leading the way.

Rodgers took back the top spot on a lap 83 restart and stayed there until Sanborn returned the favor when the field went back to green after a lap 118 caution. It looked like Sanborn was in a position to finally claim a PASS North feature win; Rogers was right on his bumper though and Mulkern, Chubbuck and a resurgent Mike Rowe were all battling for position. Rowe’s night ended early with a disqualification after Chubbuck went around off of Rowe’s front bumper to bring out another caution at lap 132.

Naples, ME — All three Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North touring divisions will be in action Tuesday night July 13th at Red and Judy MacDonald’s’ immaculate Lee (NH) USA Speedway and the competition is guaranteed to be fast paced and action packed.

Expect the Friday night regulars at the Route 125 oval to give the touring pros fits, although the extra distance will help to even up the score. 2009 series champ Carey Martin and Clyde Hennessey are knotted atop the PASS Sportsman point standings after two events; Mike Landry trails the pair by five.

Naples, ME — Sunday’s racing card at Unity (ME) Raceway featured all three of the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North touring divisions and some great racing broke out in both the Sportsman and Mod features, punctuated by some serious bouts of yellow fever.

Mike Landry claimed his first feature win of the season, passing “Cousin Dan” McKeage on the 75 lap feature’s final restart for the race lead. Shane Tatro raced home in third; Scott Dorr and Craig Smith finish fourth and fifth.

Brad Bellows looked like he might go home with the winner’s trophy early on. He and Landry battled for the lead for the first forty laps until Bellow’s ride expired and retired on lap 41. Meanwhile Dan McKeage was working his way through the field, inheriting second when Bellows made his exit. For the final 35 laps it was a battle up front with Landry, McKeage and Shane Tatro on the charge. Six cautions marred the final 18 laps as the top two waged a see-saw battle for the win. Landry’s win in the final restart battle sealed the victory for the newlywed racer from Oakland ME. Landry was two for two with a win in his heat race; Bellows was triumphant in his heat race.

Scarborough, ME — Mike Rowe didn’t look like a winner during qualifying for Saturdays Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North opening day at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. Rowe started the 150 lap super late model feature in the 28th position, but the defending Pro Series Champion at the immaculate Scarborough Maine oval picked his way through the field to put his PT Watts Chevrolet on race leader Trevor Sanborn’s back bumper at the half way mark..

Sanborn kept Rowe at bay for nearly 50 laps, but the Maine motorsports legend found an opening under Sanborn on lap 120 and led the final thirty circuits to capture his sixteenth PASS North Super Late Model feature and two in a row at Beech Ridge. Rowe’s margin of victory was .526 seconds

Adam Bates was back in 18th at the start but the Warner NH racer and his team displayed their Beech Ridge mastery once again by finishing second. Bates looked like he might be able to challenge Rowe for the victory but the checkered flag flew before Bates had a chance to show his stuff. Ben Rowe’s PASS North debut with Mulkern Racing was a successful one with a solid third place run and Joey Doiron got his PASS North Rookie campaign off on the right foot by finishing fourth. Sanborn came home a disappointed fifth after leading the most laps.

Travis Benjamin, Scott Chubbuck, Matt Frahm and Joey Doiron all run strong at the Ridge. Gary Smith, Donnie Whitten, Scott Alexander, Chuck Colby and John Higgins are all pre-entered plus fans can expect to see a number of Beech Ridge Pro Series regulars attempt to steal the touring pros’ thunder.

Both defending Beech Ridge Pro Series Champion Mike Rowe and local favorite Trevor Sanborn are expected to be in Saturday’s field; Rowe will be looking for two PASS Beech Ridge wins in a row after putting an exclamation point on his first track title with a win in the PASS 300 in September 2009. Sanborn has had the car to beat on several occasions at the Ridge and you can expect him to contend for his first PASS North checker on Saturday.

PASS North 2010 Gets the Green Sunday April 18th at Speedway 95

Published at April 12, 2010 in PASS, PASS Mod, PASS North, PASS Sportsman and Speedway 95. 0 Comments

Naples, ME — The Pro All Stars Series will roll into Hermon Maine’s Speedway 95 this weekend for their 2010 lid-lifter and there’s bound to be plenty of surprises in store when all three PASS touring divisions take to the track on Sunday in their only 2010 appearance at Maine’s family fun track.

The super late models headline the show with 150 green flag laps and the tough old Speedway 95 oval always presents a challenge for the touring pros. Johnny Clark will be looking to break the deadlock with Ben Rowe for PASS North titles won and the Farmingdale speed merchant has his championship team intact and ready for 2010. Clark is looking for three championships in a row and it’s hard to bet against his accomplishing the feat.

New lineups abound with Ben Rowe’s ride in the Scott Mulkern Racing 48 at the top of the list. Rowe has two 2010 southern starts under his belt and despite more than his share of bad luck the team has led races and shown promise. A return to home turf should be welcome for the four time PASS North champ.

As we expanded to the southeast we have had tremendous support from Sunoco distributors such as Hank Thomas Performance, and the fact that most every race track where we compete pumps Sunoco Race Fuel makes it a perfect partnership, one that we hope will continue for many years to come.”
