HIGHT CHEVROLET 150 AT
SPEEDWAY 95
IS THIRD
PASS NORTH SLM VICTORY
THIS SEASON FOR
HALL OF
FAMER MIKE ROWE |
Hermon, Maine --
Mike Rowe of Turner padded
his lead in the AIM
Recycling PASS North Super
Late Model championship
chase, posting an impressive
victory in the Hight
Chevrolet 150 at Speedway 95
in Hermon, Maine on Sunday
afternoon. It was the third
victory of the season for
the Petit Motorsports team,
winless on the PASS circuit
for nine years before Rowe
climbed into their
equipment.
Reigning
champion DJ Shaw of Center
Conway, New Hampshire and
Turner's Glen Luce swapped
the lead in the event's
early stages while eventual
winner Rowe, who started
11th, worked his way into
the top five by the 34th
lap. Working traffic like
the Hall of Famer that he
is, Rowe blasted into the
race lead less than five
laps later.
Both Shaw
and Farmington's Cassius
Clark, driving the Hight 77,
mounted brief challenges to
Rowe on late restarts, but
the 64-year-old master
prevailed for the third time
in six starts on the PASS
North Super Late Model
circuit.
Cassius
Clark, who made things quite
interesting in the closing
laps, settled for a
runner-up finish, while Shaw
seemed disappointed with his
third-place run after
running in front of the pack
ealier in the 150-lapper.
Travis Benjamin of
Morrill swapped positions
with the frrontrunners
throughout the event and
claimed a fourth-place
finish. Jeremy Davis of
Tamworth, New Hampshire once
again came alive in the late
stages of the race to claim
his second straight top
five-finish.
Early-race pacesetter Luce
managed to cross the line in
sixth position, with
six-time PASS North champion
Johnny Clark of Farmingdale
rebounding to finish seventh
following a late-race pit
stop. Joey Doiron of
Berwick, Gary Smith of
Bangor and Standish
competitor Dave Oliver
rounded out the top ten.
Doug McClure of Buxton
led all the way en route to
victory in the 30-lap
feature race for PASS Mods.
McClure's biggest test
came from points leader Ryan
Robbins of Dixfield, who
claimed runner-up honors
ahead of Newburgh's Scott
Alexander. Reigning series
champion Andy Shaw of Center
Conway, NH and Westbrook's
Matty Sanborn rounded out
the top five.
The AIM
Recycling USA PASS North
Super Late Model race next
at Autodrome Chaudiere in
Quebec this Saturday night
(June 20). The tour's next
event in the United States
is set for Friday, June 26
at Lee USA Speedway in Lee,
New Hampshire. |

Cassius Clark #77 Hopes
Speedway 95
Provides Spark To Turn
Around Season |
NAPLES, ME (June 10) - As
the Pro All Stars Series
(PASS) AIM Recycling Super
Late Models Pres. By Kenny
U-Pull prepare for race
number six of the 2015
season, Cassius Clark is
still seeking his first top
five finish of the year.
While the former series
champion has performed well
this season, currently
sitting fourth in points,
the numbers have still not
been up to par for Clark.
This Sunday afternoon, Clark
and his fellow PASS
competitors will head to
Bangor, ME's Speedway 95 for
the Hight
Chevrolet/Buick/GMC 150.
Clark comes to Speedway 95
as the defending race winner
at the event named for his
longtime sponsor, but
seeking redemption at the
same time. Despite his win
last year, contact past the
start/finish line with DJ
Shaw sent Clark into a dirt
berm in turn one and out for
the rest of the 2014 season.
"It's usually difficult
to pass cars on the bottom,
which usually leads up to an
exciting finish and puts the
fans on their feet," says
Clark. "I've been involved
in a few of those finishes,
fortunately in the winner's
circle, but unfortunate to
end up down in turn one with
a wrecked race car."
Speedway 95 has long
provided some of the best
short track racing in Maine
and, in a year that has seen
four winners in the first
five PASS races, Clark
believes there is a good
chance for more great
competition and another new
winner.
"Speedway 95
has always been one of my
favorite tracks and we've
had success there in the
past," said Clark. "It has
two distinct grooves and has
you on the edge of your seat
all the way around."
Despite the win last year at
Speedway 95, the post-race
crash led to a premature end
to Clark's championship
hopes and his season. While
he continues to try and work
the bugs out of his current
chassis, Clark hopes this
weekend he can capture a
redemptive win for himself
and his sponsor.
"We
are still trying to get a
handle on our new car and
will hopefully have it tuned
up for the Hight
Chevrolet/Buick/GMC 150 this
Sunday," said Clark. "We're
really looking forward to
turning our season around
and I can't think of a
better track to do it at
than Speedway 95 and in the
Hight-sponsored race."
A great field of PASS
AIM Recycling Super Late
Model Presented By Kenny
U-Pull history is expected
on Sunday at Speedway 95.
Clark will be joined by
defending series champion DJ
Shaw and former champions
Johnny Clark and Ben Rowe.
Two-time defending AIM
Recycling Oxford 250
Presented By Kenny U-Pull
winner Travis Benjamin
should be a strong contender
along with current series
points leader Mike Rowe.
Quebec is represented in the
early entries by Raphael
Lessard and Kyle Desouza
will be making the tow to
Speedway 95 from
Massachusetts. New
Hampshire's Bryan Kruczek
will be seeking his second
PASS win of 2015 this
weekend. And, as would be
expected, a strong list of
drivers from Maine will be
contenders led by Wyatt
Alexander, Richie Dearborn,
Joey Doiron, Dave
Farrington, Jr., Michael
Landry, Glen Luce, Scott
McDaniel, David Oliver, Adam
Polvinen, and Gary Smith.
Action begins this
Sunday at Speedway 95 with
rotating practice from 10 AM
to 12:40 PM, with heat races
beginning at 1:30 PM,
followed by main events for
the PASS AIM Recycling Super
Late Models, PASS Modifieds,
and Outlaw Super Series.

America's premier
sanctioning body for asphalt
