DJ Shaw Makes it Two PASS Wins in a Row Defeats Solid Field at Autodrome Chaudiere
Vallée-Jonction, QC — Once again a PASS Super Late Model race had to be postponed due to weather this past Saturday at Autodrome Chaudiere in Vallee Junction, Quebec, but the PASS North Tour danced around Sunday between sprinkles and put on a tremendous show with a solid crowd, and a full field of PASS Super Late Models for the Frameco 150.
It was an all Canadian front row as Patrick Laperle and Donald Theetge brought the field to green. The caution waved early, as on lap four, Ben Rowe’s bad luck continued as he cut down a tire putting him several laps off the pace. After a couple of minor spins, the field settled in as the Laperle / Theetge battle continued until lap 50 when Johnny Clark, Mike Rowe and DJ Shaw drove around the outside of the leaders. The field stayed green until lap 80 when Theetge and Laperle got together in turn two.
Clark continued to lead the event until lap 126 as lapped traffic became a major part of the finish. This is when a slowing car of Jaques Poulin was collected by Clark sending him spinning in front of the field. Glen Luce’s fine day ended in the skirmish as he had been hanging around the top five all afternoon.
DJ Shaw inherited the lead and survived a couple of late race restarts to capture his second PASS Super Late Model win in a row, and third on the season. Johnny Clark, Mike Rowe, Joey Doiron and Kevin Roberge completed the top five. Rounding out the top ten were Martin Latulippe, Patrick Laperle, Michael Lavoie, Eric St. Gelais and Donald Theetge. Qualifying checkers flew for Laperle, Theetge, and Travis Benjamin.
The next stop for the PASS North Series will be this coming Saturday, May 24th at White Mountain Motorsports Park for the Littleton Chevrolet / Buick 150. Post time is 5pm. WMMP is located on Route 3 in North Woodstock, New Hampshire.
