Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun.....
With the PASS South Independence Weekend
Double Header! |
Naples, ME
6/30/09 - Race fans, teams, and officials will all prepare for a
double header this weekend as the PASS South super late model series
will invade the Greenville-Pickens Speedway on Friday July 3rd for
the Firecracker 125 followed by a Sunday night shootout at the famed
Hickory Motor Speedway on Sunday July 5th for the first ever
Independence 150. The double header will mark the first of its kind
for the five year old series and with the anticipation of several
newcomers expected to make their 2009 PASS South series debuts, it's
shaping up to be one of the best Fourth of July weekend races in the
country.
Race one of the double header will be featured at the
Greenville-Pickens Speedway, a paper clip shaped half mile track
known to produce some tight racing. Last year's winner, Alex Haase,
will not be in attendance to defend his win but his Kyle Busch
Motorsports team with youngster Bryce Walker behind the wheel will.
Another driver to watch is Justin Wakefield, the exact guy who
battled the #51 machine for the win just a season ago before a wreck
ended his night early. Three time winner Preston Peltier, along with
Ben Rowe, Heath Hindman, and Ryan Blaney are among the championship
contenders that will have to fend off a list of drivers making their
return to the series in 2009 that include Clete Caywood, Dean
Clattenburg, and J.R. Norris. An expected capacity size crowd along
with a stellar field of race cars as well as one of upstate South
Carolina's largest fireworks shows to conclude the night's
activities adds up to produce one of the best Fourth of July
celebrations for any race fan around.
An open practice for the Firecracker 125 will kick off Thursday July
2nd from 6-8pm then the following day the cars and stars of the PASS
South super late model series will take to the track for the 125 lap
event set to go off at 7pm. For more information including how to
get your hands on tickets to the Firecracker 125 visit the
Greenville-Pickens Speedway at
www.greenvillepickens.com.
The second leg of the double header concludes at the first ever
Independence 150 at the Hickory Motor Speedway. The race will mark
the second of three events that the PASS South series has planned at
the famed oval in 2009, making it a facility the championship
contenders must run well at in order to have a shot at the
championship. Always producing strong car counts at Hickory makes
for impressive side by side racing and with this event being the
first during the month of July one can bet that a slick race track
will produce some wild racing action.
Having won the 2009 version of the Easter Bunny 150 earlier in the
year, Maine's Ben Rowe has to be considered a favorite heading into
this weekend. Several drivers such as Jeff Bolen and
thirteen-year-old Chase Elliot, who is the son of NASCAR star Bill
Elliot, will be making their first career PASS South series starts.
In addition, Corey Williams (2008) and Tennessee native Heath
Hindman (2007) have to be thrown into the mix as each has scored a
win at the Hickory, North Carolina track. Hickory also marks the
only track so far this season that current hot shoe Preston Peltier
has struggled at. Early in the year, Peltier posted only a
seventeenth place finish but since then has racked up three series
wins and moved into third in the series standings just forty points
out of the top spot.
The Independence 150 at the Hickory Motor Speedway kicks off Sunday
July 5th with racing set to begin at 6:15pm. For directions and
ticket information visit the track's website at
www.hickorymotorspeedway.com.

3rd-Richie-Dearborn-.jpg) |
|
Richie Dearborn, 3rd; Winner Adam Bates; and Johnny Clark, 2nd. |
| Adam Bates Unstoppable
at Beech Ridge |
Scarborough ME (June 26)
Adam Bates took over the race lead from Scott Chubbuck just past
half way in Friday night's Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North 150 lap
super late model feature to score his third career series win, his
second at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. The Granite State racer had a
car that could dominate and the talent to take advantage of it in a
race that was short on cautions and featured a 115 lap stretch of
green flag racing. Bates now has two wins and two second place
finishes in the last four PASS races at Beech Ridge dating back to
July of 2008.
Johnny Clark did his best to wrestle the win away from Bates. The
pair started one-two after the night's final caution at lap 144 set
up a six lap shoot-out to the checker. Clark held his ground on the
outside and the lead pair crossed the stripe on lap 145 in a dead
heat. But Bates edged ahead on the bottom and slowly increased his
margin of victory to .462 seconds over the three time series champ.
Clark settled for a solid second and Richie Dearborn came out on top
of a three wide tussle with Kelly Moore and Scott Mulkern to finish
third. Moore, who led from the pole through lap 82, had to settle
for fourth. Donnie Whitten earned his first top five of 2009, and
Scott Mulkern had a successful return to PASS racing with a sixth
place run.
Scott Chubbuck faded to seventh after running at the front for most
of the night, and Chris Staples, who captured his first Pro All
Stars super late model win at Beech Ridge earlier in the season had
to settle for eighth this time around. Ben Rowe recovered from a
multi-car wreck on lap 143 to salvage a ninth place finish and Derek
Ramstrom rounded out the top ten.
Nine cars completed the full distance. Heat Race wins went to Kelly
Moore, Bates, and Scott Chubbuck. Bates set the fastest race lap at
15.316 seconds. Five caution periods slowed the race pace.
PASS South takes the spotlight as we
celebrate our nation's birthday, with the popular Firecracker 125
slated for Greenville-Pickens (SC) Speedway on Friday July 3rd and
the Independence 150 at Hickory (NC) Motor Speedway on Sunday July
5th.
After a weekend off PASS North has a
doubleheader of their own on tap with The Full Fender Frenzy 75 at
Thompson (CT) International Speedway on Saturday July 11th and the
Bastille 200 at Lee (NH) USA Speedway on Tuesday July 14th. |

| Preston Peltier Does It Again at
New Senoia |
|
Naples, ME 6/22/09- It
took just twenty two laps for Preston Peltier to make his way to the
front Saturday night at Georgia's New Senoia Raceway and from there
he never looked back, leading the next 128 laps en route to his
second consecutive Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South super late
model win in the Dixie 150. Keeton Hanks, making his PASS South
debut, finished second followed by Texas native Trey Mitchell who
grabbed his first career podium finish. A pair of Georgia natives,
Justin Wakefield and Bubba Pollard, rounded out the top five at the
inaugural series event.
After starting fifth Peltier, piloting the #26 Johnson Motorsports
entry, quickly dropped into third position behind series regular
Heath Hindman and newcomer Chris Whorton. Then on lap twenty two
Peltier made his move to the front while two drivers Bubba Pollard
and Keeton Hanks methodically made their way to the front of the
field. A lap eighty caution brought the field back together for just
the second of three times that night and allowed Justin Wakefield
among others to bring their cars to pit road, opting for chassis
adjustments over track position.
Not only did the caution allow teams to make adjustments to their
race cars but it put both Pollard and Hanks within striking distance
of the leader Peltier. The two battled side by side over the next
forty plus laps allowing Peltier to pull away with the race lead
before contact was made bringing out the night's final caution. The
contact sent both competitors to the pits for minor repairs and
opened the door for Trey Mitchell to take his shot at the top spot.
The final twenty two laps proved to be some of the best racing of
the night as the fans watched Hanks shoot his way through the field
to finish second and saw two and even three wide racing right down
to the stripe between Pollard, Wakefield, and a hungry Mitchell.
"This is awesome making it two in a row," explained an excited Peltier after the race.
"To go from winning my first PASS race at
Orange County to now having won two of the last three races, this
season feels unreal. I can't thank Harold (Johnson-team owner)
enough for putting this deal together and I just hope we can keep it
up and keep gaining points to have a shot at the championship come
the end of the season."
Next up for the PASS South series will be a Forth of July weekend
double header starting off Friday July 3rd with the Firecracker 125
at the Greenville-Pickens Speedway followed up by the Independence
150 at the Hickory Motor Speedway on Sunday July 5th.

| Shaw Charges to Lee USA
PASS Mod Win |
NAPLES ME
(June 6) Andy Shaw drove from the back of the pack to
the front to capture his second Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Mod
series win of 2009 Friday night at Lee (NH) USA Speedway. Shaw
battled visiting North Carolina super late model star Jay Fogleman
and Sulo Burbank for the win in the first of a four race Twin State
Series for the open wheelers.
Shaw and his team were fortunate to be in the feature at all. The
rear end in their race car blew up in practice but they were able to
borrow another from a fellow competitor, swap them out, and run
second in their qualifying race. But the work wasn't over then; the
team had holed a radiator in the heat and had to make another hasty
swap before feature time. Shaw, Dave Weir and the entire 66 team
proved that once again, hard work and perseverance pay off at the
race track.
Sulo Burbank had luck on his side as well. After his best PASS Mod
finish of the season in third, the team discovered a broken hub held
in place only by the wheel after giving the Lee USA concrete a tap
midway through the feature.
Unofficially, Shaw vaults from third to first in the PASS Mod points
standings after four races. Jerry Harrison held the top spot going
into the race but a hard trip into the turn one wall resulted in a
12th place finish and second place points man Scott Grant came home
seventh. The top three were only separated by three points prior to
the Lee USA event.
