MIKE ROWE SCORES
POPULAR
PASS NORTH WIN
AT
BEECH RIDGE MOTOR
SPEEDWAY |
Turner, Maine’s Mike
Rowe took over the lead on a
lap 101 restart and cruised
home to victory in the
Southern Maine Chrysler,
Dodge, Jeep 150 at Beech
Ridge Motor Speedway in
Scarborough, Maine this past
Saturday afternoon. The
legendary veteran edged out
Travis Benjamin and Austin
Theriault for the win.
Threatening weather
forced the PASS North Super
Late Models to move their
feature up in the schedule
as ominous skies were
looming over the horizon.
Scott Mulkern got the jump
on the start as the young
gun, Reid Lanpher spun his
tires on the initial start
allowing Mulkern, Austin
Theriault and Ben Rowe to
race by him on lap one. An
early caution for a slowing
car in turn two forced a
restart once again. Mulkern
was a rocket as he jumped to
the front and never looked
back as several drivers were
contending for the top five
positions including
Theriault, Cassius Clark,
Mike Rowe, and Tony Ricci.
The field stayed in that
order until lap 75 when Rowe
slipped by Clark for the
third spot and winner of the
PASS opener, Travis Benjamin
cracked the top five.
Heavy lapped traffic
allowed the field to track
down Mulkern, and on lap 90,
Rowe dove underneath
Theriault for the second
spot and Benjamin moved up
to fourth. Caution flew once
again on lap 101 and Tony
Ricci had a tire go down and
came to a halt on the back
stretch. There was no
denying Rowe on this restart
as he blasted by Mulkern and
started to pull away only to
see the caution wave again
for a seven car melee that
completely blocked the track
on the back stretch as well.
This would be the final
caution of the day for the
PASS Super Late Models, and
Mike Rowe survived lapped
traffic late in the race to
hold off Benjamin,
Theriault, DJ Shaw and
Mulkern. Sixth through tenth
included Johnny Clark, Joey
Doiron, Dale Shaw, Cassius
Clark and Bryan Kruczek.
Qualifying heats went to
Reid Lanpher, Mulkern and
Mike Rowe.
The PASS
Modifieds were out in force
on Sunday as twenty of these
sleek machines rolled to
grid for their 40 lap main
event. Newcomer Doug McClure
led the first 22 laps before
Mark Lundblad Jr. took
command and held the field
at bay for the next dozen
laps. Mitch Miller came from
the back of the pack to take
over the lead with 6 laps
remaining and fell under the
checkers with a five car
length advantage over
Lundblad, as Andy Shaw,
Scott Alexander, and Mark
Lucas rounded out the top
five. Post race inspection
drastically altered the
finish as winner Mitch
Miller’s tires were deemed
non-conforming to PASS Mod
rules thus DQ’ing him from
the event. Lundblad was
awarded the victory thus
moving Shaw to 2nd,
Alexander to 3rd, Lucas to
4th and Scott McDaniel into
the top five in 5th.
The PASS Sportsman 50 lapper
saw Lyman McKeage and Chris
Staples bring the eighteen
car field to chief starter
Shane Carr’s green flag.
McKeage got the jump and
opened up a solid lead
before mechanical woes set
in on his mount handing the
lead to his son Dan McKeage.
Shane Tatro tried to close
the gap on McKeage, but
couldn’t do it and he was
forced to settle for second
at the stripe. Joe Pastore
Jr, Rusty Poland and Nathan
Leavitt rounded out the top
five. Heat checkers flew for
Lyman McKeage and Chris
Staples.
The NELCAR
Legends put on a wild show,
one that saw Tyler
Braunschweig go up and over
Todd Harrison’s right front
tire sending him flipping,
and sliding most of the
front stretch with the room
of his car slamming the tire
barrier in turn one and then
caught fire. After a few
anxious moments officials
put out the fire and
attended to Braunschweig. He
emerged from the car shaken,
but walked back to the pit
area. When the event
concluded Matt Bourgoine
carried the checkered flag
ahead of Ed Getty, Matt
Grant, Kevin Gerard Jr., and
Bob Weymouth. Getty and
Bourgoine were heat winners.
The PASS North Series
will be back in action this
coming Saturday, May 10th at
Star Speedway in Epping, New
Hampshire. The PASS Super
Late Models will race 150
green flag laps, while the
PASS Mods will run a 40 lap
main event. Star Speedway’s
own Roadrunners, and Woody’s
Strictlys will also be in
action. Post time for
qualifying is 4:45pm. |

as far as it can. It is a
fact that all Dealers pay

their cars. FACT, the less
they spend on Advertising
