Mike Rowe Named Touring Series
Driver of the Year
(Naples, ME - January 6,
2006) PASS regular Mike Rowe of Turner, ME capped off a great 2005 season by being named
Touring Series Driver of the Year after balloting by over 30 members of the New England
motorsports press corps at the Northeast Motorsports Expo in Augusta, ME tonight.
In PASS competition, Mike had five wins, including a sweep of the Forbes Chev-Olds 200 and
Atlantic CAT 250 at Scotia Speedworld in Halifax, Nova Scotia,
the big win at Beech Ridge in the Pullen Heavy Industries 300 at the inaugural PASS 400
Weekend in September. After a slow start Mike and the SP2 Team
came to life and finished with a total of 10 top threes including two seconds and three
thirds as well as the five wins. And you can’t forget Mike’s win in the Oxford
250 after winning the Last Chance Race to make the field. Mike joined Dave Dion and Ralph
Nason as the only three time winners of the 250.
Mike joins a distinguished roster of the most successful racers in the Northeast. Mike is
the third PASS competitor to be chosen Touring Series Driver of
the Year, following last year’s winner Johnny Clark and his son Ben Rowe who won in
2000.
He joins some of the greatest names in racing in the Northeast, from Joe Bessey in 1992
and Ricky Craven in '93 to Dale Shaw, Dave Dion, Kelly Moore, Brad Leighton, Mike Olsen,
two-time winners Mike Stefanik and Andy Santerre, as well as Benjie and Johnny. |

PASS Modifieds Add Two Races to 2005 Schedule
(Naples, ME – March 23, 2005) Tom Mayberry, President of PASS Racing, Inc., announced
today that the fast-growing PASS Modified Division is adding two races to the 2005
schedule.
On Saturday June 18th, the PASS Modifieds will join the regular Saturday night divisions
on the asphalt at Canaan Fair Speedway in Canaan, NH for heats and a 25-lap feature, and
on July 29th, the Mods will make their second appearance of the season at Oxford Plains
Speedway in Oxford Plains, ME on the Friday night of the BankNorth 250 Weekend.
These two added events bring the 2005 schedule to a total of 14 races at tracks in Maine

competition.
Mark Lucas, the 2004 champion, is geared up to defend his crown as the initial PASS
Modified Series Champion, but there is a growing list of newcomers who are intent to make
the second ever crown theirs. However, they are going to have to deal with veterans Jason
Taylor who finished a scant 16 points behind Lucas and Wayne Allard who was just six
points behind Taylor.

PASS To
Adopt ABC Bodies For 2005
(November 8, 2004 - Naples, ME) Tom Mayberry of the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) announced
today
that PASS has committed to the A-B-C body for the 2005 season.
The A-B-C body program is an industry standard for the design, construction, and technical
inspection of the bodies for offset template pro-stock and late model racecars throughout
North
America. The leading body manufacturers have agreed to produce aerodynamically identical
bodies
based upon agreed upon standardized specifications. For PASS, the objective is to keep the
bodies
uniform, control costs for everyone, and bring our series into line with other pro-stock
and super
late model series around the country that are already using the A-B-C body.
All PASS competitors running for 2005 season points and contingency awards must use a Five
Star,
ARP, or other A-B-C body that conform to the A-B-C and PASS measurements and templates.
All competitors will have the first half of the season to "use up" their
existing bodies, and this rule will go into effect at the halfway point in the season.
Some of the competitors among the more than 120 racers who raced with PASS in 2004 run a
limited schedule and will not be running for points in 2005. They will not be required to
run the A-B-C body if they are not running for points.
The following bodies are approved for competition in 2005. A-B-C: Monte Carlo, Grand Prix,
Taurus,
and Intrepid. Other bodies allowed but not eligible for season points are as follows:
Chevrolet - Camaro, Lumina, Monte Carlo; Buick - Regal; Oldsmobile - Cutlass; Pontiac -
Firebird, Grand Prix; Ford - Thunderbird, Taurus; and Dodge - Intrepid.
Paul Johnson, the PASS Technical Director, will be scheduling rules information meetings
with
dates and locations to be announced shortly. Keep checking this web site for further
information. |
Oxford
Plains Speedway and PASS Team Up for '05
(November 3, 2004 – Naples, ME) Tom Mayberry of the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) and
Bill Ryan, Jr. of Oxford Plains Speedway announced today that there will be two PASS races
during the 2005 season at Maine’s premier track. The first race will be the Oxford
opening day event on April 30th and the second will be on June 11th.
In making the announcement Ryan said, “Having the PASS Series back on April 30th at
Oxford Plains is a fantastic way to open our season. It sets the tone for a high level of
competition for all our divisions for the 2005 season. Everyone here is excited about the
return of PASS pro-stock racing.”
In addition to the opening day race, on June 11th the PASS competitors will go for 150
laps with a bit of a twist. The race will be broken into three fifty-lap segments will a
full-field inversion after the first and second segments. The winner of each segment will
receive a bonus in addition to the purse. With the BankNorth 250 a little over a month
after this race, the PASS competitors will be looking to kick off their preparation for
the 250, which they will be supporting in a big way.
Tom Mayberry said, “We’re all excited about returning to Oxford Plains Speedway.
Our competitors will be looking forward to these two races. Many of us started our racing
careers at Oxford Plains. It’s nice to be going home.”
