Oxford, ME — Carey Martin of North Bridgton claimed victory in the 75-lap Pro All Stars Series Sportsman division main event. Martin, a five-time champion of the similar Limited Sportsman class at Oxford Plains Speedway that was discontinued following the 2006 season, chased early frontrunner Ricky Burgess, Jr. of Waterville in the non-stop, caution-free race.
Burgess, impressive in all of his first-year starts on the regional touring series, built a healthy lead over the first half of the race. Former series champion Martin reeled him in and went by to take a lead he would not relinquish, though the outcome may have been in doubt if a caution flag had waved to bunch up the field.
Joey Pastore of Gorham raced from dead last on the starting grid to finish in second position, hoping throughout the second half of the event for that yellow caution flag that never appeared to tighten up the field. Dan McKeage of Gorham, also a former Sportsman champion, ended up in third position after winning the previous series event at Scarborough’s Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. Craig Smith of East Waterboro swapped positions with McKeage throughout the race, but settled for fourth as the checkered flag waved. Early leader Burgess rounded out the top-five.

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.

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.

Stafford Springs, CT — Stafford Speedway Limited Late Model driver Duane Provost is excited about the challenge that lies ahead of him when the Pro All-Star Series comes to Stafford on Sunday, August 26th. Stafford’s Limited Late Models will join the PASS Sportsman cars for a 60-lap feature event as part of the Inaugural PASS 125 program, which will provide Provost with a host of challenges. While Provost has never driven a feature longer than 25 laps previously, he is excited about the opportunity to showcase himself against the PASS Sportsman cars and he hopes his track knowledge will help him drive his #88 Gus’ Auto Repair Chevrolet to the front.
“I’m definitely excited and looking forward to it,” said Provost. “It’s going to be a real good experience to run that many laps as I’ve never ran that many laps before. We really have no idea how to set the car up or what the car will do, so it will be a unique experience to run that many laps at a track that I’m familiar with. If the Sportsman guys have run some tracks similar to Stafford up North, then they might have a bit of an advantage. If Stafford is unique to what kinds of tracks those guys run, then we’ll have an advantage. I think being able to combine the Sportsman and Ltd. Late Model cars, it could go either way, but I’m hoping the advantage is on our side.”
In order to prepare for the Sportsman race, Provost and his #88 team will have to decide on a few options. The Stafford cars can run either with their normal wings, or use a spoiler, and they have several options at their disposal to change around the weight configuration of their Limited Late Model car.

Stafford Springs, CT — When the Pro All-Star Series comes to Stafford on Sunday, August 26th, there will be a unique feature as part of the PASS program. The PASS Sportsman cars will be joined by the Stafford Limited Late Model division, making for a sports car race atmosphere with 2 different classes of cars competing at the same time. Limited Late Model competitor Cory Casagrande is looking forward to the opportunity to race against the PASS Sportsman cars and hopes that his track knowledge will give him a leg up on the competition when the green flag falls.
“I think we’ll be pretty good with knowing the track,” said Casagrande. “I remember the first time the MRS cars were at Stafford, those guys were all over the place because they didn’t know the groove. It took me a wicked long time to learn the groove at Stafford. I think most of those guys will try to follow us around in practice to learn the groove. We’ll be taking advantage of the practice and make sure everything is right on the car.”
In addition to the new event, Casagrande and the Stafford Limited Late Model regulars will have the additional challenge of racing a 60-lap feature when they are normally accustomed to a 20-lap feature distance.

Dale Shaw, Joe Pastore top Mod, Sportsman fields
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.

PASS has added a new date to the 2012 Sportsman schedule – April 15 at Lee USA Speedway as part of the Governor’s Cup Weekend. This will kick off the 2012 point season for the PASS Sportsman cars.

2012 PASS MASTER SCHEDULE
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.

South – National – Sportsman
Naples, ME — The 2010 Pro All Stars Series (PASS) racing schedule is winding down, but there are still three championships to be decided when the PASS South Super Late Models and PASS Sportsman take to two different race tracks on Saturday October 16.
In New England the PASS Sportsman title is a three way battle between 2007 Champion Dan McKeage, defending Sportsman champ Carey Martin and Mike Landry. The standings were turned upside down on PASS 400 weekend at Beech Ridge when Landry had all sorts of problems, eventually wrecking out of the 100 lap feature for a 20th place result. McKeage earned his first win of 2010 and Martin came home in the show spot, vaulting the pair past Landry in the standings. McKeage has a fourteen point advantage over Martin with Landry twenty four back.
The title bout will add spice to Riverside Speedway’s season finale that includes qualifying races and a 75 lap feature for the PASS Sportsman, the Frostbite 250 four and six cylinder Enduro and the crowning of Riverside’s own Outlaw division champion. Riverside Speedway is just off Route 3 on Craggy Road in Groveton, New Hampshire. The action gets underway Saturday October 16 at 1:00 PM.

Scarborough ME – The PASS Sportsman and Mod series joined the North East Mini Stock tour on Sunday’s PASS 400 Weekend card and all three divisions came through with exciting extra distance feature racing for the fans in the stands.
Grant Aither led thirty two PASS Sportsman racers to the green and kept the lead until both Jay Sands and Craig Smith slipped under the LEE USA track champion on lap five when Smith took the point away from Sands and Clyde Hennessey followed him through. Smith kept the field at bay until lap 35 when mechanical issues ended his afternoon. Sands resumed command and ran away and hid, but another caution erased his straightaway lead. Meanwhile the PASS points leaders had worked their way toward the front Mike Landry, Dan McKeage, and Carey Martin restarted 4th, 6th and 7the respectively. On the restart Landry made his way to second with McKeage hot on his heels. Now it was time to challenge Sands. Sands ran the second groove and Landry the bottom, the pair battling side by side at the half way mark. Hennessey sat third, McKeage fourth and Martin fifth when the field received the crossed flags.
The second half of the 100 lapper featured some longer green flag runs and there was no lack of action. Sands and Landry were still battling for the point and Carey Martin won a battle with McKeage for fourth. The yellow flag flew at lap seventy one and PASS Sportsman point leader Landry was forced to pit returning to the line- up twentieth. Sands now had Martin on his tail with McKeage, Hennessey, and Corey Bubar the top five.

Naples, ME — Their racing divisions have the best names in the sport;: Mad Bombers, Mighty Trucks, Outlaws, Varsity, Runnin’ Rebels, Beetle Bugs and a whole bunch more. They’re the Mid Week Warriors that take little more than a street car (or truck), add the required safety equipment and go racing. For many competitors they are in their first race car ever, and for others the mid week racing wars are just perfect for their budget. It takes cubic inches and talent to win at this level, not cubic dollars.
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. That payday is more than most of these guys and gals can earn in a season, so there’s plenty of incentive to win this one. The back gate at Beech Ridge swings open at noon and practice gets underway at 2:00 PM.
2009 Thursday night feature wins went to Kyle Hewins (Runnin’ Rebel four cylinder), Chad Binette (MightyTrucks), Jason Curtis (Junior Varsity) and Larry Emerson (Outlaws).

Naples ME — While the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) super late model race teams are prepping for the return of oval track racing to North Wilkesboro (NC) Speedway this weekend, there’ another big weekend of racing on the horizon when the PASS Super Late Models, Mods and Sportsman take to another history-laden venue in the form of Maine’s Beech Ridge Motor Speedway on September 11 and 12.
It’s the sixth edition of PASS 400 weekend, a four day motorsports extravaganza that’s become a must attend event for racers and race fans from all over the eastern seaboard. It’s the longest race of the season for all three PASS North touring series, and there’s track time for almost every circle track division one can find in northern New England.
There’ll be a full field of super late models on hand to try and break the Rowe stranglehold on the 300 lap grind. Mike and Ben Rowe finished 1-2 in the inaugural PASS 300 and Ben earned the victory in 2006. Ben’s dad was back in victory lane in 2007 but Johnny Clark broke the Rowe win skein in 2008. Mike Rowe came back in 2009 to score his third PASS 300.

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.

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.

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.

Series president Tom Mayberry opened the evening by thanking all of the competitors for racing with PASS in 2009, especially given the challenges of our current economy.

In an effort to better accommodate short track racing fans, the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North Super Late Model Saturday, September 19 date at White Mountain Motorsports Park will move to Friday night September 18 .
In making the announcement series president Tom Mayberry said, “White Mountain has always been a popular show for fans of Super Late Model racing, but in recent years the increasingly tight schedule at New Hampshire Motor Speedway has made it difficult for fans to make it up to White Mountain in time for the race. We feel it is in the best interest of the series, our fans and short track racing in general to move the race to Friday evening. By doing so, short track fans won’t have to choose between super speedway racing and the fastest short track racers in the east; they’ll have the best of both worlds.”

Can Johnny Clark make it four in a row at the Center of Speed?
Naples, ME — The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North super late models get back in action on Sunday June 15th for the Steel’s Real Rods and Custom 125 and the biggest question amongst PASS north fans is, who can stop Johnny Clark at Wiscasset Raceway?
Clark is on a three race PASS hot streak at Wiscasset that dates back to August of 2007. But Travis Benjamin gave Clark all he could handle in the Ray Haskell Ford 125 back in May, crossing the finish line half a car length behind the two time PASS super late model champion. Adam Bates, Ben Rowe, D.J. Shaw, Cassius Clark, Kelly Moore and Scott Chubbuck all showed plenty of speed in the Wiscasset PASS opener as well, so there will be plenty of challengers to Clark’s recent dominance. There’s a guaranteed spot in the August 17, $30,000.00 to win Toyota Tundra 250 on the line for the race winner so there’s added incentive to race home first on Sunday.
