Rowe, who also won the race in 2005, had his work cut out for him in winning Saturday night’s event though. Richie Dearborn led from the pole position and set the pace early on. Last year’s Atlantic CAT 250 winner Johnny Clark also led laps, as did a trio of talented PASS North rookies – Derek Ramstrom, Trevor Sanborn and Adam Bates.

Chris Perley Opens a New Batch of Luck to Take Mansfield Saturday ISMA Show

chrisperleymmp75.jpgMansfield, OH — Chris Perley said Friday night at Mansfield that he’d run out of luck after a minor wreck on lap six put him out of the 40-lap ISMA-Wirtgen event. But, he added kidding, that he had a new bucket of luck in the trailer, unopened. Saturday night he put that new batch of luck to good use as he stood in victory lane next to a hissing rear tire, which would go flat moments after his post-race interview. A lap or two more and he would not have been there. But, that’s the way things have been going this year – and last, for Perley and the Vic Miller team. Perley’s seventh win of the season puts him two races away from taking over the ISMA all-time feature win list from Pelham, NH’s Russ Wood.

Said Perley, “We just opened that new bucket of good luck because I don’t know if you can hear it, but my tire has a big hole in it. So we pulled this one off tonight. We got lucky. The car was just awesome. Last night was a bit of a disappointment but we just come back and try to do the best we can the next day. And the crew said ‘we’re going to give you a car tonight that will get the job done’ and boy did they because this thing was on a rail.
