Johnny Clark Collects $30,000.00 Plus Payday
in PASS North Toyota Tundra 250
NAPLES ME (8/18/08) A perfect mix of old and new equaled a $30,000.00 payday for Johnny Clark Sunday night as the Hallowell, Maine Pro All Stars Series (PASS) star took his Clark’s Car Crushing Chevrolet to victory lane in the Toyota Tundra 250 at Wiscasset (ME) Raceway. Clark recaptured the lead from then-point man D.J. Shaw and survived a late race rash of yellow fever for the victory. It was the two time series champions’ third win of 2008 and pulls him squarely into contention for a third title. Clark was behind the wheel of an all new super late model that his team painstakingly constructed during the off season and the race car was everything the team hoped for. Clark’s first big super late model win came at Wiscasset at the age of 17, and his mastery of the fast old Wiscasset high banks has only grown as the years pass.

PASS South point leader Corey Williams made his return to home turf a successful one, finishing second after leading over 100 laps early on. Steve Knowlton ran near the front all day and battled down to the wire for a third place finish. Scott Chubbuck and Randy Turner completed the top five.

The five 15 lap heat races were a battle all unto themselves, with just four cars transferring to the feature from each. Fred Astle Jr. made a rare PASS North appearance and took the pole position for the 250 by winning heat number one. Steve Knowlton, Scott King and Randy Turner all earned transfer spots. Atlantic CAT 250 winner Travis Benjamin continued his winning ways in heat two, with Richie Dearborn, Chad Dow, and Paul White advancing to the feature. PASS South point leader Corey Williams made a successful homecoming in heat three, followed by Trevor Sanborn, Adam Bates and Kelly Moore. Derek Ramstrom earned the fourth starting position by wining heat number four, with Wiscasset master Johnny Clark second, Scott Chubbuck third and home track hero Charlie Colby in the final transfer spot. Another PASS veteran from seasons past, Chuck LaChance, took down heat five, with weekly racers Scott Moore and Ryan Deane second and third. Maine legend Stan “The Man” Meserve earned the final heat race transfer.

The next nine qualifiers came from three fifteen lap consolation rounds, and Mike Rowe earned the win in consi one, along with journeyman racer Eddie MacDonald and Steve Berry. Alan Tardiff took down consi number two with Donnie Whitten and John Flemming second and third. Consi three was D.J. Shaw’s with Wiscasset’s own weekly point leader “Big John” Phippen second and Joe Decker in the final qualifying spot.

The 30 lap Last Chance qualifier had its share of talent too; Cassius Clark, Ted Christopher, and the return of Ben Rowe after a thrash to get the RMR 4 back in racing shape after his excursion off turn three in his heat race. Cassius Clark put the nose under Dale Cullivan for the lead on lap five and led the rest of the way in a race filled with contact as sixteen drivers battled it out for the three qualifying spots. When the dust settled it was Cassius Clark, Gary Smith and Dale Cullivan in the final three transfer spots. Pass provisionals were awarded to Ben Rowe and Harry Olsen. Wiscasset Raceway provisionals went to Matt Lee, Richie Morse and T.J. Watson, who transferred via his win in a Late Model special the night before. Nova Scotian Marty Prevost received a promoter’s option for the longest haul to the Toyota Tundra 250.

When the green flag waved over the thirty eight car field Corey Williams jumped out to the lead. Williams looked tough in the early going, and so did Chuck LaChance. The Cushing Maine veteran had his familiar 38 dialed in and looked like he might challenge Williams for the point as the race passed the 100 lap mark. LaChance pitted for tires at lap 108, along with front runners Travis Benjamin, Scott Chubbuck, D.J. Shaw and Richie Dearborn. Williams and Adam Bates pitted from the lead and second place for fresh rubber two laps later, handing the lead to Knowlton. Johnny Clark had raced his way up to second from thirteenth and he wasted little time taking the lead on lap 111. By lap 150 Clark had checked out on the field, but thirty laps later Trevor Sanborn and D.J. Shaw were slowly reeling him in.

By lap 185 Clark’s lead was down to six car lengths and both Trevor Sanborn and D.J. Shaw were coming. Shaw made his move on Sanborn at lap 187, and passed Clark for the lead on lap 192. Clark could see the big win slipping away and his team took action, bringing him to the pits on lap 198 for fresh rubber. But would there be enough time for Clark to race his way back to the lead?

The answer was a resounding yes. The last fifty laps could be considered the Johnny Clark Show, as the veteran sliced and diced his way through the field, sometimes three wide, to chase down the front runners. Clark was all the way up to fourth at lap 205; on lap 206 he drove around Adam Bates for third. Knowlton would be his next victim, taking away the second spot on lap 212. Five laps later he raced under D.J. Shaw for the lead, surviving four restarts and a green-white-checker finish to bank $30,000.00 plus yet to be tallied lap money, and a unique trophy in the form of a stylized race car steering wheel.

Clark’s Margin of victory was 705 hundredths of a second; Travis Benjamin was the last car on the lead lap in twelfth.

PASS North takes a well earned four week break before heading to White Mountain Motorsports Park on September 13th for the D-J Equipment 150.

PASS South has back to back events on tap, the Piedmont Pride 125 at Caraway Speedway on Saturday August 30th and their first trip to the Volunteer State on Saturday September 6th for the Daniel Boone Classic at Newport Speedway.

Merrill, McKeage PASS Pluffybilt Sportsman Winners at Wiscasset
NAPLES, ME (AUGUST 19, 2008) - The Pro All Star Series (PASS) Pluffybilt Racing Tractors Sportsman racers were back on track with a vengeance at Wiscasset Raceway Sunday, with double features on the Toyota Tundra 250 card.

In the first 50 lap feature, Terry Merrill led from green to checker for his second win of the season. Only two cautions slowed the field; Merrill was tested on the lap 17 ad 33 restarts but the Saco speedster prevailed each time. Allan Moeller, Shane Tatro, Richie Morse and Steve Bennett Sr.crossed the stripe second through fifth.

The field drew for starting positions for the second feature, and Steve Bennett, Sr. put his 22 out front at the green. Merrill’s bid for two wins ended on lap thirty-two after Kyle Hart and Mike Lynch got together and Merrill and Bill Pinkham were swept up in the accident. On the restart 2007 Sportsman champion Dan McKeage snatched the lead away from Bennett and motored away from the field.

As the laps wound down the battles for position heated up. McKeage’s lead was beginning to slip away as Bennett Sr. and Mike Landry were reeling him in. Landry was able to get around Bennett Sr. on lap 70 and began to chase down McKeage. With two to go Landry was on McKeage’s right rear quarter panel but that was as close as he would get. McKeage captured the win and Mike Landry had to settle for second. Bennett, Sr., Allan Moeller, and Brian Fortin raced home third through fifth.

Next up on the PASS Pluffybilt Racing Tractors Sportsman schedule is the PASS 400 weekend, Saturday and Sunday September 20-21 at Beech ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough Maine. For more information visit www.racewithpass.com or www.proallstarsseries.com .

Travis Benjamin Latest First Time PASS Winner in the Atlantic CAT 250

Naples ME (August 11, 2008) Travis Benjamin retook the race lead for the fourth and final time with 45 laps to go in the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Atlantic CAT 250 at Halifax Nova Scotia’s Scotia Speedworld Saturday night and beat Ben Rowe to the checkers by one car length to earn his first PASS North Super Late Model victory.  Home track hero John Flemming crossed the line in third with 2007  race winner Mike Rowe fourth and Adam Bates fifth. Benjamin is the ninth first time PASS super late model feature winner of 2008.

 

Fans of the Pro All Stars Series knew that it was only a matter of time before Benjamin earned a PASS checkered flag. He’s been at or near the front of the field in all eight PASS North features this season. He was the runner-up at Wiscasset and Riverside and hasn’t finished outside of the top ten all year. In fact Benjamin finished second in last years Atlantic CAT 250. He’s the first to admit that he has a dislike for flat race tracks in general but Scotia Speedworld is an exception to the rule. And now, the immaculate Maritime oval will  always have an extra special place in Benjamin’s racing career.

 

Benjamin and Rowe’s  one-two finish kept the PASS North point standings in a virtual deadlock. Heading to Halifax Ben had a six point edge on Travis, but Benjamin edged ever closer to the top of the heap with his Atlantic CAT  250  win over the four time series champion.

 

Benjamin, Flemming and Trevor Sanborn won the PASS qualifying heat races. The race took just one hour 20 minutes to complete with eight cautions flags.

 

PASS North heads for its biggest pay day of 2008 this Sunday August 17th, the $30,000.00 to win Toyota Tundra 250 at Wiscasset (ME) Raceway. The PASS Mods and a pair of PASS Pluffybilt Sportsman features are on the schedule as well. Reserved grandstand tickets are still available by calling (207) 882-4271

PASS South Regulars Preparing for Trip
to PASS 400 Weekend at Beech Ridge

CHARLOTTE, NC (August 8 2008) – There’s still more than a month until race number three of the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Super Late Model National Championship Series, but teams up and down the East Coast are already making preparations. The first two National races have been held in North Carolina, while the third race will be held on September 21st, headlining the PASS 400 weekend at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough Maine. Several teams from the PASS South region have already confirmed that they are planning to make the long trek to New England.

Atop that group of Southerners heading north is the surprising leader of the PASS National standings, John Stancill. At just 15 years of age, everything Stancill has done in 2008 has exceeded expectations. Stancill came to the PASS South Series as a Legends car standout with similar credentials to those of other PASS drivers such as Ryan Lawler and Corey Williams. In the first PASS National race at the Hickory Motor Speedway, Stancill started an unassuming 26th and shocked the crowd in attendance by coming home with a third place finish. PASS National race number two at the Orange County Speedway saw Stancill lead laps and come home with a fourth place finish. That finish in the Southern Sizzler has put Stancill atop the National points leading the likes of Cassius Clark, Mike and Ben Rowe, and Corey Williams. What makes that accomplishment even more amazing is the fact that Stancill and his team are racing on a very limited budget. A budget so tight he was unable to race at the most recent PASS South event at the Dillon Motor Speedway. Nonetheless, Stancill and his team are heading to Beech Ridge with the hopes of protecting their lead in the PASS National standings.

Unlike John Stancill, everyone knew that Alex Haase would be a driver to watch this year. And sure enough, as Haase became more comfortable with his surroundings, he became a consistent front runner week in and week out. Wins at Wake County and Greenville-Pickens have put Haase third in points with a shot at the PASS South championship. Haase and his Kyle Busch-owned Toyota team aren’t strangers to racing with PASS North in 2008 either. Haase has already competed in the two PASS North events at Beech Ridge this season finishing 17th and 29th respectively. Obviously those results are not what he was hoping for, but they’ve given Haase and his team an idea of what they need when they head back to Beech Ridge in September.

“We’ve got another car up North, separate from the car that we race in the South and I think we can go up to Beech Ridge and have a chance to win,” said Haase. “The guys that take care of the car in the North do a really good job and I know we can do better than what we did when we go back to Beech Ridge.”

Perhaps the driver traveling the farthest distance to get to Beech Ridge will be Perry Brown. The Florida native has had an astounding start to his first full-time season in PASS South competition. Brown took a dominating win at the Watermelon Capital Speedway in Georgia and has followed that up with seven top tens, good enough for second in PASS South points. In addition, Brown has finished in the top ten in both PASS National races and will enter Beech Ridge fifth in National points.

Several other top PASS South contenders will be attending, plus some of the best Super Late Model racers in the country for race number three of the PASS National Series coming up on September 21st at the Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, ME.

PASS South takes a couple of well deserved weeks off before they hit the track again for the Piedmont Pride 125 on August 30th at the Caraway Speedway in Asheboro, NC.

PASS South’s 3rd Annual
South Carolina Clash
Sunday, August 3rd

Justin Wakefield’s been on the verge of his first Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South win throughout the 2008 season and Sunday afternoon he sealed the deal, racing under Alex Haase and Jay Fogelman to snag the lead and drive away from the field in Sunday's South Carolina Clash 125 at Dillon Motor Speedway. Wakefield joins Zach Stroupe, Alex Haase, Perry Brown and Trevor Sanborn on the list of drivers who’ve paid their first visit to PASS South super late model victory lane in 2008.

Alex Fleming proved that he is knocking on the door to victory lane himself, coming home a career best second after a fierce battle with Perry Brown (3rd), Jay Fogleman (4th) and PASS South point leader Corey Williams (5th).

Wakefield set yet another fast time, but the redraw put the Carswell Motorsports 98 fifth on the grid. Wakefield wasted little time getting out front and he was the leader of the pack on lap ten.

Temperatures approaching 100 degrees made for a slick Dillon Motor Speedway, and all the front runners were slipping and sliding, including Wakefield. Near the half way mark Wakefield lost the top spot to Alex Haase when he slipped up the race track while battling Fogleman for the lead.

Haase, Fogleman and Wakefield were lined up first through third on a lap 89 restart but when the green flew Haase washed up the speedway with a flat tire, taking Fogleman with him and giving Wakefield the opening he needed to reclaim the lead and the checkers.

PASS South gets back on track Saturday August 30th at the Caraway Speedway in Asheboro North Carolina.

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).


TRACKSIDE NOW RACE REPORT
 
    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.

PASS South and
Southern National Raceway Park
Have Big Plans
for 2008 and Beyond

CHARLOTTE, NC (July 25, 2008) – Pro All Stars Series (PASS) President Tom Mayberry is proud to announce a partnership with new Southern National Raceway Park owner Del Richards that will bring PASS South Super Late Model racing back to Southern National Raceway Park in Kenly, NC starting on November 29, 2008. The PASS South Super Late Models will join the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Late Model Stocks for Twin 150’s, both paying $5,000 to the winner in Southern National’s Annual Thanksgiving Classic. The race will be a non-points event for the PASS South Super Late Models.

In 2009 PASS South will make three trips to Southern National Raceway Park with all three events being PASS South point races. PASS South will kick off the 2009 season on Saturday, March 28, 2009 at Southern National Raceway Park with a 150 lap event paying $5,000 to win and $500 to start. Then, PASS South will return to Southern National on July 18, 2009, for a big 250 lap event paying $7,000 to win and $700 to start. This race will be part of the PASS National Series and should attract Super Late Model drivers from across the country. Finally, the PASS South Series will crown the 2009 champion when the series returns to Southern National for the Thanksgiving Classic on November 28, 2009 for another 150 lap, $5,000 to win event.

“We’re really excited to be coming back to Southern National Raceway Park in 2008 and 2009,” said Mayberry. “We had a great race there in 2006 that was won by Freddy Query and we look forward to bringing Super Late Model racing back to the fans of Eastern North Carolina who love it so much.”

For Richards, getting the PASS South Series back to Southern National was key upon his purchase of the speedway. “Race fans know the great history of Super Late Model racing at Southern National,” said Richard. “I really feel like having PASS on board can bring Southern National back to where it used to be. We’ve got some big plans here and it’s going to be great to start and end the PASS South season here. Not to mention the PASS National race in July.

PASS the CASH!   Big Money Shows Dot Pro All Stars SLM Schedules

NAPLES ME (May 28, 2008) The twenty eight races that make up the two Pro All Stars Series (PASS) super late model schedules all carry a healthy purse for the East’s fastest full-fendered race cars, but four dates stand out with added cash incentives to take that checkered flag first.

The first big one will go green on Saturday July 19th at Orange County Speedway. The beautiful Rougemont North Carolina track that bills itself as America’s fastest 3/8th mile will host the Southern Sizzler 200 and there’s a cool ten grand on the line for the winner. Expect a huge field for this race as The Sizzler is also round two of the four race PASS National Championship Series. The series kicked off on March 22nd at Hickory (NC) Motor Speedway with the 3rd annual Easter Bunny 150, where Corey Williams started his season off right with a victory.

And if that isn’t enough to get your attention, the winner’s share of the purse triples on Sunday August 17th for the PASS North Toyota Tundra 250 at Maine’s Center of Speed, Wiscasset Raceway. There’s a $30,000.00 check waiting for the winner of the big show. Williams’ Easter Bunny earned him a guaranteed starting spot for the 250, and he’ll be racing just down the road a piece from his home town of Boothbay Maine. Johnny Clark also has a guaranteed spot from his May 18th win in the Ray Haskell Ford 125 at Wiscasset.

The PASS 400 Weekend at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway (Scarborough ME) has become an autumn tradition for race fans from all over the Northeast. Big car counts, all three PASS North divisions and non stop racing highlight this multi-day event, and this year the September 21st PASS North Super Late Model feature will also be the third leg in the chase for the first PASS National Championship. $10,000.00 is on the line for the race winner, and you can expect a number of PASS South racers to take the drive up I-95 for this one.

PASS South is back at SoBo in 2008! - The legendary South Boston (VA) Speedway will host the Mason-Dixon 500 on Saturday October 25th. The 2008 PASS South super late model champion will be crowned that day, and you can be sure that a slew of PASS North racers will make the trip to South Boston and take a crack at the $10,000.00 winner’s share of the purse. The Mason Dixon 500 is a twin bill featuring 250 laps of PASS South action and a 250 lap special for Late Model stock cars – that’s 500 laps of feature racing, enough to satisfy any diehard short track race fan!
