Hudson International
Speedway in Hudson, New Hampshire
hosted the PASS Modified Tour for
the first time, and race fans were
treated to a very exciting race
which featured some tight racing,
and a wild flip on the backstretch.
Ryan Robbins and Evan Armington
brought the field to green for the
forty lap main event, and the pair
raced side by side until the race
came to an abrupt halt on lap number
five as Ryan Phillips and Mark Lucas
got together on the backstretch
sending Phillips up and over two
times coming to rest on his wheels.
After a couple anxious moments,
Phillips emerged from his badly
damaged racer and was diagnosed with
bumps and bruises and was released
from medical attention. Lucas also
would be done for the night.
As the red flag flew, Travis
Buzzell and Scott Alexander locked
bumpers, and after a lengthy caution
trying to separate them, the field
went back to green.
Once back
racing, several teams did their best
to come from the back of the pack,
but the blistering pace set by
Robbins, Armington and Ron Henry,
did not give not give them much
opportunity to crack the top five.
Late in the race Armington closed to
within a couple car lengths of
Robbins but that was as close as he
could get. The rookie driver claimed
his first career, PASS win.
Armington raced home second ahead of
Ron Henry, Scott McDaniel and Doug
McClure. Sixth through tenth were
J.R. Baril, Andy Shaw, Travis
Buzzell, Billy Dixon and Scott
Alexander. Heat checkers flew for
Robbins and McDaniel.
The
PASS Mods will join the PASS Super
Late Models at Beech Ridge Motor
Speedway in Scarborough, Maine on
Saturday, July 5th at 7pm. |
