Jimmy Weller Breaks Through at SoBo for First PASS South Victory

Published at August 29, 2010 in PASS, PASS South and South Boston. 0 Comments

Naples, ME — Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South fans that have followed the series’ super late model cars and stars over the past two seasons saw a racer come into his own Saturday night at South Boston (VA) Speedway when Jimmy Weller scored his first PASS super late model victory in the PASS SoBo 150

Weller has made big strides all season long and he was able to seal the deal by surviving a lap 135 restart alongside teammate Ryan Blaney. Veteran Jay Fogleman rounded out the podium with his third place run.

Blaney’s runner up finish was enough to move him atop the championship point standings after Preston Peltier, who entered the night as the point leader, struggled his way to a tenth place finish after getting caught up in an incident around the event’s half way point.

Alan Wilson Prevails in PASS Mods

Limestone, ME — Farmingdale, Maine’s Johnny Clark took another step toward winning his fifth Pro All Stars Series North Super Late Model championship with his victory in the first-ever trip to Spud Speedway for PASS racers last Saturday night, August 21st.

Clark’s step toward the title was a small one, as his chief rival for the 2010 title, Ben Rowe of Turner, Maine, finished in fifth position after winning his heat race. Clark suffered a flat tire in his qualifier and finished in sixth position aboard his Clark’s Car Crushing/Port City Race Cars #54.

In the 150-lap Super Late Model main event Clark’s chief competition came from the Richard Moody Racing tandem of Travis Benjamin and Trevor Sanborn.

Spud Speedway’s a Wild Card in the PASS North Title Chase

Published at August 17, 2010 in PASS, PASS North and Spud. 0 Comments

Naples ME — The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) super late model and modified stars and travel to the crown of Maine this weekend for their first ever appearance at Caribou’s Spud Speedway, a new venue for the traveling circle track circus that carries serious points implications for the pair of drivers battling for the super late model title.

At Spud there won’t be any notes for the crew chiefs to fall back on, no on track experience for the drivers. So, the teams that get a handle on the quickest way around the speedway in the least amount of time will have a definite edge. As the points paying races wind down, success at Spud will be key to capturing the 2010 super late model Championship

Johnny Clark and Ben Rowe have a battle royal going on for the 2010 title. They each have four PASS championships under their belt, Clark two in a row. Rowe moved over to Scott Mulkern Racing for 2010 and the combination has worked their way into title contention as the season has progressed. Just ten points separated the pair prior to Saturday’s Seekonk Speedway stop. Rowe picked up two points on Clark in the feature as the pair crossed the stripe fourth and fifth, respectively. But PASS also awards heat race points and Clark came out on top in his qualifier and Rowe finished home third in his, erasing his gain from the 150 lapper. So, their individual drives for five titles moves on to Spud with Clark still on top of the standings by the thinnest of margins.

Darling‘s the PASS North Kingpin at Seekonk

Published at August 15, 2010 in PASS, PASS North and Seekonk. 0 Comments

Naples, ME — Seekonk Speedway regular David Darling took over the lead from Derek Ramstrom on lap 107 of Saturday night’s Pro All Stars Series (PASS) 150 at Seekonk Speedway and fought back a challenge from Trevor Sanborn to defend his home turf and join the list of PASS Super Late Model feature winners. Trevor Sanborn was three car lengths back at the finish, followed by Ramstrom, Ben Rowe and Johnny Clark.

Darling and car owner Gary Johnson came to the track Saturday planning to use the practice sessions to tune up the Johnson Landscaping ride, with no plans to even enter the event. But the work Darling and his team put in during practice encouraged them to go ahead and take on the PASS touring pros and the result was a big payday and the hardware that goes with it.

Early on it looked like Rick Martin had the car to beat as the twenty four car field clicked off lap after lap without incident. Martin withstood all of pole sitter Derek Ramstrom’s challenges through the halfway mark but the former PASS regular appeared to be slowing as both Travis Benjamin and Darling caught the front pair. The bottom was the place to be but it looked like Benjamin might make the outside work, briefly taking second away from Ramstrom before the defending Thompson super late model champ battled back on the bottom to reclaim the spot. Benjamin saw a good run destroyed when he lost the right front on his RMR mount to bring out the nights first caution period.

Naples, ME — The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North super late model circuit makes its lone Bay State stop of 2010 this Saturday night August 14 when they take on the home track heroes of Seekonk Speedway, and the touring racers will be looking to even the score in Saturday nights’ 150 lap shootout.

The PASS stars made their first ever appearance at the birthplace of the Pro Stock in 2009 and the Seekonk regulars put a whipping on them. Cement Palace regular Tom Scully Jr upset Ben Rowe and Johnny Clark, scoring the win for the home team. The top ten was dotted with Seekonk regulars Dave Darling, Fred Astle, Rick Martin and Dave Hutchins, too. In fact, Hutchins and Ray Parent both led the event before Scully Jr. took over to capture the win.

Now the drivers that call PASS their home series don’t like getting beat at their own game so you can expect Johnny Clark, Ben Rowe, Cassius Clark, Donnie Whitten ,Trevor Sanborn, Gary Smith, Nick Ribbe, Randy Turner, Scott Alexander and a whole host of others to go all out to even the score. Add Seekonk’s Saturday night divisions to the mix and you have a can’t miss night of short track racing that’s guaranteed to please the most hard core race fan.

Seekonk, MA — The Pro All Stars Series will make their second appearance to the birthplace of the Pro Stocks on Saturday, August 14th for a 150 lap event. This will mark the eighth event on the PASS North schedule.

The 2009 version saw the race dominated by competitors that call the Action Track of the East home. Dave Hutchins led much of the first half of the event. He gave way to Tiverton’s Ray Parent, before he had to pit for fuel just past the halfway point.

PASS South Season Heats Up at Newport Saturday

Published at August 3, 2010 in Newport, PASS and PASS South. 0 Comments

Naples, ME — The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South super late models get back on track this Saturday August 7 at Newport (TN) Speedway after a month- long hiatus and the 125 lap Daniel Boone Classic will mark the start of their stretch run to the 2010 series championship.

The Daniel Boone Classic has been a part of the PASS South schedule since 2008 and the wickedly fast high banked speed plant has seen just one driver wear the coonskin cap that signifies victory at the Tennessee oval. Jay Fogleman seems to have the key to victory lane at Newport and you can bet that the Durham North Carolina super late model star isn’t about to hand it over to his competition. Fogleman outran Bobby East in 2008 and Jake Crum in 2009 for two of his four career PASS wins, and without a doubt he will look to pull himself up in the series standings with a good run in the 2010 version of the Classic.

Fogleman sits in fourth behind Preston Peltier, Ryan Blaney and Andy Loden. That trio has dominated the win column to date. Peltier and Blaney each have two race wins; Blaney trails Peltier by 38 markers ((1716-1678) in the championship standings after eight events. Third place points man Andy Loden had a streak of three in a row going before Blaney snapped the skein at Greenville-Pickens. Justin Wakefield has the eighth win, his coming at Wake County.

Naples, ME — Trevor Sanborn found a way to get by team mate Travis Benjamin on lap 83 of Saturday nights Pro All Stars Series (PASS) super late model feature at Groveton NH’s Riverside Speedway, earning his first career PASS North win. Sanborn and Benjamin gave the Richard Moody Racing team a sweep of the top two spots. Richie Dearborn crossed the line third.

Sanborn has been fast all season long, leading 262 laps prior to the Summerfest 150. But despite several podium finishes, the two time PASS South race winner had been unable to drive under the checkers first in the northern series until Saturday night.

Ben Rowe picked up six spots from the grid to finish fourth; 2009 Summerfest 150 winner Cassius Clark was fifth.

PASS Mod Win Number Three for Shaw at Riverside

Published at July 31, 2010 in PASS, PASS Mod and Riverside. 0 Comments

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

Published at July 27, 2010 in PASS, PASS Mod, PASS North and Riverside. 0 Comments

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.

Ben Rowe Surges for PASS Victory at Thompson; Pitkat Earns First of Year in Thompson Sunoco Mods; Gelinas Three-Peats; Douton, Marcotte, Churchill Score Victories

Published at July 22, 2010 in PASS, PASS National, PASS North and Thompson. 0 Comments

Thompson, CT — Ben Rowe of Turner, ME, made a late race surge to take down the victory in the Pro All Star Series annual visit to the 5/8-mile of Thompson International Speedway. Woody Pitkat of Stafford Springs, CT, ended his winless streak at Thompson with a convincing Sunoco Modified win on Thursday night. Larry Gelinas of Buxton, ME, posted a three-peat in the Whelen All-American Series Super Late Models while Rick Gentes of Woonsocket, RI, was tops in the Late Models. R.J. Marcotte of Millville, MA, wired the field to score his second TIS Modified win of the season. Chris “Moose” Douton streaked to his second straight victory in Limited Sportsman action. Randy Churchill, Jr., of Oakdale, MA, returned to victory lane in the Mini Stocks.

In the early going it looked like it may be a Southern sweep as Preston Peltier and Jay Fogelman, both of NC, dominated much of the race. Pole sitter Peltier enjoyed a fairly comfortable lead in the early stages of the event. His nearest competition in the first half of the event was Thompson’s own Derek Ramstrom. The Thompson regular’s bid for a hometown victory ended when he spun from the second position after losing his breaks entering turn two.

Over the last quarter of the race, Peltier had his hands full with Fogelman, Rowe and Johnny Clark. The Southerners showed the way as Rowe and Clark took chase. With less than 15 laps to go, Rowe decided it was time to go; passing Fogelman for second on the backstretch on lap 62. Rowe immediately began to hunt down Peltier, who had stretched out his advantage slightly. Fogleman fell into the grasp of Clark.

Rogers Rocks PASS Regulars at Beech Ridge – Shaw Claims PASS Mod Win

Published at July 18, 2010 in PASS, PASS Mod, PASS North and Thompson. 0 Comments

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. He took the lead from Scott Chubbuck on lap five and held the spot until Trevor Sanborn took over on lap thirty nine. 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.

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.

The PASS Sportsman have been added to this year’s Lee USA stop, and that division will put on a 75 lap show that is sure to be a crowd pleaser. The touring Sportsman will have just a few hours to get dialed in for their feature, and although many of the series regulars have made the trip to Lee in the fall for Lee’s popular Octoberfest event, they haven’t experienced the fast three-eighths in the heat of midsummer. 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.

Green-White-Checker finish makes the sparks fly at Orange County

Published at June 27, 2010 in PASS and PASS South. 0 Comments

Naples, ME — Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South rookie Andy Loden scored a hat trick Saturday night, capturing three PASS South series wins in a row with his victory in the Southern Sizzler 150 at the Orange County Speedway. A great side-by-side restart between Andy Loden and Jay Fogleman on lap 149 set up a dramatic finish as the two battled down the back stretch with Loden holding the bottom groove with a half a car length lead over Fogleman to the outside as they entered turn three on the white flag lap. It then appeared that Loden drove up the track clipping the right front of Fogleman’s #4 machine almost sending the veteran spinning, giving the win to Loden as the field checked up behind him.

The remaining top five positions made for some of the best racing throughout the night. In the end, Justin Wakefield and Joey Gase finished second and third. Fogleman managed to cross the line fourth followed by John Stancill in fifth.

Several teams had up and down races. One driver that finally showed he can have a bad day was point leader Preston Peltier. The Concord, North Carolina came into the Southern Sizzler with a comfortable PASS South point lead but Peltier finished twelfth, victim of a tire going down in the waning laps. Peltier failed to finish in the top five for the first time all season. While Peltier had a down night, Alex Fleming had an up night after qualifying problems forced him to race his way in through the last chance race. Fleming took the green from the twenty-sixth position and raced his way to an impressive sixth place finish.
