DEREK RAMSTROM WINS THE ALL-STARS 200

Derek Ramstrom (#35) took his first PASS win over Mike Rowe in 2nd (#2, right) and Ben Rowe in 3rd (#4, left).

Derek Ramstrom's the
PASS North Star at All Star

Naples ME - (July 31, 2008) There was a gap of thirty three days between qualifying and the rain delayed Pro All Stars Series (PASS) All-Stars 200 feature at All Star Speedway Wednesday night, but for Derek Ramstrom the wait was worthwhile. The 16 year old PASS super late model sophomore capitalized on Johnny Clark's misfortune to take over the lead on lap 174, and he kept some of the toughest super late model drivers in the country in his rear view mirror to capture his first PASS North super late model feature win. Ramstrom withstood the pressure of several restarts with Mike Rowe alongside and Ben Rowe on his back bumper to seal the victory. Mike and Ben came home second and third respectively and Johnny Clark recovered from a flat tire that took him out of the race lead to salvage a fourth place finish. Travis Benjamin continued to build on his most consistent PASS season to date, finishing fifth.

Richie Dearborn and Steve Berry brought the field to the green ad Dearborn wasted little time taking command; Dearborn, Berry, Kelly Moore and Travis Benjamin battled up front early on and Berry wrestled the lead from Dearborn briefly before Dearborn took command again on lap 49.

PASS permitted teams to change two tires in the extra distance event, and pit strategy began to come into play during a lap eighty-one caution. Dearborn hit pit road and was joined by D.J. Shaw, Scott Chubbuck, Johnny Clark, Mike Rowe, Ben Rowe and Cassius Clark. Moore assumed the top spot, with Berry, Adam Bates, Travis Benjamin, Trevor Sanborn and Ramstrom lined up behind. Moore took the lead on the restart but a bump and run from Berry gave him a lane to get under Moore and Bates, Sanborn and Ramstrom followed suit, dropping Moore to fifth.

Eighteen laps later Berry pitted from the lead, handing it over to Trevor Sanborn. Sanborn led at the half way mark but Johnny Clark had taken advantage of his fresh rubber to race all the way back to second. Rich Eaton and Adam Bates got together right after the crossed flags, a wreck that ended Bates night. Ramstrom joined the queue on pit Road at lap 102, one of the last front runners to make his stop. Twenty three of the twenty five starters were still in action at the half-way mark.

Up front it was all Johnny Clark from laps 102 to lap 174. He had plenty of challengers though, as Ramstrom, both Rowes and Benjamin were all giving chase. Saturday nights' Riverside Speedway winner looked like he was in line to chalk up two PASS features in five nights. But Clark's racing luck ran out and his flat right front handed Ramstrom a lead he'd never give up. A fast car, great pit strategy and a heaping helping of talent all combined to give the Ramstrom family team a well deserved and hard earned PASS North Super Late Model victory.

The PASS North super late models head north of the border on Friday and Saturday, August 8th and 9th for the 8th annual Atlantic CAT 250 at Scotia Speedworld in Halifax Nova Scotia. Scotia Speedworld is on line at www.scotiaspeedworld.ca.

Johnny Clark's Back in PASS North Victory Lane
at Riverside Speedway

Naples ME (July 27,2008) Johnny Clark took the high road around a fading Cassius Clark on lap 99 and led the final 31 laps to win the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Summerfest 150 at Groveton New Hampshire's Riverside Speedway. The victory was the second of 2008 for the two time PASS North Super Late Model Champion. Travis Benjamin, Derek Ramstrom, Ben Rowe and Adam Bates completed the top five in the rain shortened event that took the checkers at lap 130.

Cassius Clark looked like he'd be tough to beat in the first two thirds of the race. Lining up third behind the front row of Derek Ramstrom and Alan Wilson, he raced under Ramstrom for the lead on lap five. The field stayed green for sixty one laps and Clark was clearly in control, his EJ Prescott Fusion hooked up on the bottom and pulling away from the field.

Meanwhile, the skies were darkening and the crossed flags that would signify a completed feature were approaching. At the seventy five lap mark it was Cassius Clark, Alan Wilson, Ramstrom and Kelly Moore first through fourth; Johnny Clark had raced his Clark's Car Crushing Chevy up to fifth from his twelfth place spot on the starting grid. The pace picked up as the black clouds approached, and the front of the field shuffled on a lap 80 restart. Ramstrom got by Wilson to regain the second spot and Johnny Clark shot up to third with Wilson now fourth and Travis Benjamin fifth.

At lap 90 Cassius had pulled out to a ten car length lead but Johnny was charging, taking the outside line around Ramstrom for second. Suddenly the field was reeling Cassius in. Johnny drove around him unchallenged for the lead on lap 99; Cassius had lost a power steering belt, ending a strong run that looked like his best shot at a 2008 PASS North victory to date.

Travis Benjamin had the leader in his sights and went around Ramstrom for second on lap 106, but Clark maintained a solid lead to the checkers and Benjamin would be denied his first PASS victory once again. Alan Wilson's great run came to an abrupt end on lap 128, the victim of a flat tire that sent him spinning off turn four. Ben Rowe nipped Adam Bates for fourth at the finish, a great come back after a heat race miscue forced him to start eighteenth.

Derek Ramstrom and Alan Wilson each won heat races. D.J. Shaw was the rookie of the race, finishing eleventh after starting nineteenth.

New Faces in PASS Mod Victory Lane at Riverside

Bill Dixon drove around Scott McDaniels with nine laps remaining to earn his first Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Mod win at Riverside Speedway Saturday night.. McDaniels raced home second and Ron Henry finished third. It was the first PASS Mod podium finish of 2008 for all three drivers.

McDaniels looked like he might be in line for his first PASS win, leading thirty-one laps after winning his heat race and starting on the pole for the forty lap feature. With heat two winner Greg Ellis along side, McDaniels, Ellis and Dixon raced nose to tail at the half-way mark with Ron Henry fourth and Andy Shaw fifth. Four time 2008 PASS Mod winner Mark Lucas was charging up through the field but a flat left rear sent him to the pits; he returned to the speedway one lap down.

Ellis got shuffled back on the outside to fifth on a lap 23 restart, and a spin by Sulo Burbank on lap 26 collected both Ellis and point leader Tom Oliver. All three drivers retired for the night.

McDaniels kept the field at bay on the restart and Ron Henry raced past Andy Shaw to claim third. Dixon was hot on McDaniels' heels, looking for a way around for the lead. Dixon got his chance on lap 31 and the veteran racer went on to capture the victory.

The PASS Mods take a few weeks off before returning to the track at Wiscasset on Sunday August 17^th for the Toyota Tundra 250 weekend at Wiscasset Raceway.

Ben Rowe Declared Full Fendered Frenzy Winner

NAPLES, ME, JULY 14, 2008 - The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North super late models made their annual trip to Thompson International Speedway Saturday night for a 75 lap shootout and The Full Fendered Frenzy definitely lived up to its billing. The wild night featured great racing, two attempts at a green, white, checkered finish and a post race ruling by PASS officials that declared Ben Rowe the event winner. Although Rick Martin took the checkers first, he was penalized for jumping the final green flag and relegated to second place in the official order of finish.

Martin took the lead at the initial green with Trevor Sanborn in tow. The duo was able to pull away from the pack early on. A lap six restart allowed Sanborn to take away the top spot for three laps before Martin regained the point.

Sanborn continued to challenge Martin and retook the lead on a lap fifty restart. Sanborn's lead would once again be short lived as the bumps in turn one sent him skating up the track ,allowing Martin and local PASS stand out Derek Ramstrom by for first and second. Ramstrom's run through the field was well received by the Thompson faithful, who have witnessed three consecutive weekly super late model wins by the West Boylston Massachusetts teenager.

Ramstrom and Martin put on a fearsome battle for the lead, but Martin slammed the door on Ramstrom's repeated attempts to make a move on the bottom. The first green, white, checkered attempt of the night proved to be Ramstrom's undoing; Martin moved up the speedway , making contact with Ramstrom who in turn made contact with the concrete, ending a great run that could easily have resulted in Ramstrom's first PASS North victory.

The second green, white, checkered attempt saw Martin jump out in the lead with teammates Ben Rowe and Trevor Sanborn in hot pursuit. When the checkers flew the unofficial top five were Martin, Rowe, Johnny Clark, Sanborn, and Ramstrom. But Martin's two car length jump prior to the drop of the green prompted series officials to declare the finish unofficial and the resulting review reversed the top two in the order of finish.

PASS North has the upcoming weekend off, allowing many teams to travel to Orange County Speedway in Rougemont North Carolina for round two of the inaugural PASS National Championship series, The Southern Sizzler 200, on July 18th and 19th. PASS North makes its annual visit to Groveton New Hampshire's Riverside Speedway on July 26th.

Naples ME (July 14, 2008)
Statement by Pro All Stars Series (PASS) President Tom Mayberry concerning the PASS super late model finish at Thompson International Speedway on Saturday July 12.

"One of the signature procedures of the Pro All Stars Series is great race restarts, side by side, with the flagman always starting the race. This is to provide a professional show for the fans and the competitors.

After reviewing this event it was determined that the #14 car of Rick Martin had numerous borderline restarts. On the final restart at lap 74, with no respect for PASS race procedures or his fellow competitors, he left on his own with a two car length lead. As all the drivers were told in the drivers' meeting, you cannot steal a finish by jumping the restart. We felt his jumping of the restart cost any other driver a chance of winning and cost the fans an exciting, side by side finish.

Therefore, after careful review and much consideration we have penalized the #14 of Rick Martin one position and there will be a significant fine. We feel this action is necessary to maintain the integrity of our restart procedures."

Bates Scores First PASS North SLM Win at Beech Ridge

Adam Bates used the high groove to get the best of Scott Chubbuck after a lap 110 restart and kept the field at bay to the checkers to earn his first Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North super late model win at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway Saturday night. The nineteen year old Warner New Hampshire racer beat D.J. Shaw and Chubbuck to the line in a blanket finish. Beech Ridge regulars Bill Rodgers and David Oliver came home fourth and fifth in a race that was short on cautions and long on great racing all over the speedway

The feature got off to a rough start with a lap one back stretch melee that scattered the 32 car field .The mess sent Bub Bilodeau, Donnie Whitten, and Kelly Moore to the pit area for the night .Once underway, Bates and Cassius Clark set the pace up front and the pair battled side by side for several laps until Clark finally cleared Bates for the lead.. But Bates reclaimed the point a few laps later and Scott Chubbuck took over second from Clark. Chubbuck claimed the top spot o lap 41, and the super late model veteran set sail, with Derek Ramstrom now giving chase. The field stayed under green for nearly 70 laps with Chubbuck on a rail out front, Ramstrom giving chase in second and Bates, Clark and D.J. Shaw third through fifth.

The yellow flag finally flew on lap 110 when Ben Rowe pounded the back stretch wall while racing with Richie Dearborn for a top ten spot. Rowe was done for the night and Dearborn was held a lap for his contact with Rowe.

The caution set up a forty lap sprint to the finish, with Ramstrom to the outside of Chubbuck. But a mechanical issue sent Ramstrom to the pits before the green flag fell, ending another promising run for the Massachusetts teenager. Bates moved up to second on the grid and took advantage of the outside line to reclaim the lead and his first feature win in the PASS super late model division. Bates is the fifth different winner in five completed PASS North races this season.

Tom Oliver
PASS Mod Winner
at Beech Ridge

Gary Norris & Tom Oliver

Veteran racer Tom Oliver has a wealth of open wheel and Beech Ridge Motor Speedway experience, and he put both to good use Saturday night to win the PASS Mod feature at Scarborough Maine's Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. Oliver raced up from seventh on the starting grid to nab his first feature win of the season over Gary Norris Jr., Rob Herrick, Kenny Harison and Bill Dixon.

Dixon led the field to the green but an apparent missed shift sent the field scattering around him and Kenny Harrison into the lead. Harrison looked like the car to beat early on but he wound up on the rear of the field after a lap nine caution.

Dixon recovered just fine from his fudged start earlier and claimed the lead on the restart, with Oliver now second and 2007 Mod Champion Chris Staples third. Dixon and Oliver both know their way around the Ridge, and they put on a great side-by-side battle for the lead. Oliver finally edged ahead and took over the point on lap 27.

Dixon brought out the caution one lap later, spinning from the second spot after contact with Norris. Oliver kept his cool, battling Norris and Rob Herrick for the final thirteen laps to earn the hard fought victory.

The PASS Mods get back on track Saturday July 26th with a visit to Riverside Speedway in Groveton New Hampshire. For more information on the PASS Mods and all of the Pro All Stars touring series visit www.racewithpass.com

Rain Halts PASS North All-Stars 200
Feature Reset for July 30

Naples ME (June 29, 2008) A heavy rain KO�d the racing action at All-Star Speedway Saturday night just prior to the start of the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) super late model 200.

The 200 lap feature has been re-scheduled for Wednesday, July 30th at 7:00 PM, headlining a special mid week racing card at All-Star. Race teams and race fans are advised to keep their All-Star wrist bands and ticket stubs for the new date.

The rain couldn't dampen the fans enthusiasm for the PASS autograph session. The entire field, including cuppers Kyle "Rowdy" Busch and Regan Smith, signed autographs and greeted fans prior to the event's postponement.

Richie Dearborn, Kyle Busch and Kelly Moore all earned super late model heat race wins and Regan Smith checkered the consolation round.

The PASS Pluffybilt Racing Tractors Sportsman feature beat the weather and Plaistow New Hampshire veteran Bob Bolduc beat the PASS Sportsman regulars at their own game. Bolduc snagged the lead from David Lee on a lap 34 restart and took control for the balance of the 75 lap event.

At the checkers it was Bolduc over Neil Evans Jr., Richie Morse, Geoff Rollins and Christopher Lee. Neil Evans Jr. and Lee Weldy won the Sportsman heat races.

Both PASS super late model divisions are racing this week. PASS South is in action on Thursday, July 3rd for the PASS South Firecracker 125 at Greenville-Pickens Speedway in Easley South Carolina. The PASS North super late models and mods race into Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough Maine on Saturday July 5th.

(After a post race review by Pro All Stars Series officials, the penalty issued to Mike Rowe (P.T. Watts Chevrolet #2) has been modified. Rowe's finishing position has been changed to 15th (last car on the lead lap) for an infraction of the PASS restart/lineup rules.The original penalty moved Rowe to 31st in the unofficial order of finish.)

D.J. Shaw Graduates to PASS North Victory Lane

Naples ME ( June 23,2008) A lap 39 caution gave Pro All Stars Series (PASS) super late model rookie D.J. Shaw the lead in Sunday's Steel's Real Rods and Custom 125 at Wiscasset Raceway and Shaw never looked back, earning his first PASS North feature win over Cassius Clark, Ben Rowe, Adam Bates and Travis Benjamin.

Shaw started fifth in the thirty-one car field and quickly worked his way up to third. Meanwhile, pole sitter Kelly Moore was out in front with Wiscasset master Scott Chubbuck in hot pursuit. Moore appeared to spin his tires on a restart, giving Chubbuck the opening he needed to take the lead. But one lap later Moore got into Chubbuck's back bumper and the leader went for a spin in turn four. Both drivers went to the rear of the field and Shaw found himself in the lead.

18 year old Shaw, who'd graduated from high school the day before, took full advantage of his opportunity. His Precision JLM Ford was on a rail and the rookie kept the field in his rear view mirror. Shaw held a ten car length lead over Clark and Rowe before rain brought out the red flag and halted the race on lap 98. One hour later the feature was declared complete and the Center Conway New Hampshire teen had his first PASS feature win. He's now a guaranteed starter for the August 17 Toyota Tundra 250 at Wiscasset, joining Johnny Clark and Corey Williams on that list. The $30,000.00 to win tilt is the richest event on the 2008 PASS North super late model schedule.

Several drivers that had a shot at strong runs experienced problems that spoiled their day. Trevor Sanborn was back in the Moody Racing 44 and had a solid top five run going until a mechanical issue sent him to the pits just four laps before the rains came. Johnny Clark appeared to have a tire go down on lap 89 while running fourth and lost a lap in the subsequent spin. Clark finished the night 16th, one lap down. Mike Rowe received a penalty for jumping positions in a restart line-up; the penalty moved Rowe from 9th to 15th at the finish. The day was even tougher for Derek Ramstom who lost a motor in his qualifying race and was unable to start the feature.

Moore, Chubbuck and Bates were heat race winners; Travis Benjamin qualified via a consi win and raced his way into the top five after starting 25th.

Ben Rowe's the King of White Mountain

Patience won out on a short track Saturday night filled with hard racing at White Mountain Motorsports Park. Ben Rowe was able to preserve his equipment and make a lap 114 outside charge on Cassius Clark to win the 150 lap Pro All Stars Series (PASS) feature. The victory was Rowe's eighth at the Avery family's high banked quarter mile. John Flemming, Mike Rowe, and Richie Dearborn completed the top five.

The drop of the green flag set the tone for the night with the number 8 E.J. Prescott Ford of Cassius Clark battling side by side with the Trevor Sanborn's Richard Moody and Sons Ford early on. Sanborn would eventually settle in behind Clark but a lap 51 restart gave Sanborn enough momentum on the outside to steal the lead away from Clark. Clark reclaimed the top spot on a lap 73 restart with Sanborn, Ben Rowe, Johnny Clark, Flemming and Derek Ramstrom giving chase as the race approached half-way.

Lapped traffic proved to be a challenge all race long as Clark and Sanborn resumed their battle. Sanborn's shot at the win would end on lap 103 after he got into the lapped car of Steve Berry. The move prompted Berry to retaliate, spinning Sanborn into the front stretch wall and ending Berry's night via the black flag. Sanborn continued on after repairs to finish twelfth.

The restart placed the four time PASS champ outside of Clark and Rowe continued where his teammate Sanborn left off, racing side by side with Clark until he made his lap 114 pass stick for his first victory of 2008. Other big movers of the night were last week's Ray Haskell Ford 125 winner Johnny Clark and rookie DJ Shaw who both overcame penalties early in the race to score top tens.

Johnny Clark, Cassius Clark and Trevor Sanborn won their respective heat races.

Johnny Clark Is Still the Master of Wiscasset
Naples ME (May 18, 2008) Two time Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Champion Johnny Clark led all but lap one of the Ray Haskell Ford 125 Sunday afternoon to record his first PASS victory of 2008. The Hallowell Maine ace continued his dominance at the coastal oval where he's been a winner in three of the past four PASS sanctioned super late model events. Travis Benjamin gave Clark all he could handle though, looking for a way around and under Clark for nearly 100 laps. Benjamin had to settle for second by less than a car length at the checkers. Ben Rowe had a solid run in third, with Cassius Clark and Adam Bates completing the top five. Rookie D.J. Shaw's sixth place finish was his best PASS result to date; Kelly Moore, Scott Chubbuck, Richie Dearborn and Steve Berry rounded out the top ten. Johnny Clark, Ben Rowe, and Ritchie Dearborn were heat race winners. The race was slowed by nine caution flags. Twenty of the twenty three starters were running at the finish.
