The Countdown is on! PASS North season set to go green at Beech Ridge

NAPLES Maine ( April 9 2008)The snow is melting fast and its full
speed ahead for opening day 2008 for the Pro All Stars Series (PASS)
at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway on Saturday April 19th.

A slew of super later model teams are licensed and are expected to be
on hand for the 150 lap lid lifter. Leading the way will be four time
and defending super late model champion Ben Rowe and his Richard Moody
Racing team; they've already declared their intentions to seek the
2008 PASS North super late model title and Ben's "drive for five" will
begin at the Scarborough Maine oval. There's plenty of talent that
will challenge for the 2008 crown as the new points format will keep
more teams alive in the 2008 title chase. Teams will count their top
twelve finishes in the fourteen scheduled point races toward the 2008
title, so a bad day at the track won't necessarily eliminate any teams
from the title chase.

The list of contenders ready to steal Rowe's thunder is long and
talented. Two time PASS super late model titlist Johnny Clark, Cassius
Clark, Mike Rowe, Richie Dearborn, Nova Scotian John Fleming; they're
all expected to be in the hunt for both a Beech Ridge win and the 2008
championship. Derek Ramstrom is ready to challenge the series veterans
for the top spot on the podium and PASS North rookie of the year
contender D.J. Shaw knows his way around the Maine speedplant. Kelly
Moore has to be considered the home town favorite and Steve Knowlton
is expected to make his return to PASS competition after a hiatus of
several years. Or, will a Beech Ridge Pro Series team step up and
steal the thunder from the touring teams?

The popular PASS Mods and Pluffybilt Racing Tractors PASS Sportsman
complete the opening day card. New teams abound in both divisions, and
the racing promises to be non-stop and action packed.

In preparation for opening day, two practice sessions are scheduled
for Thursday April 17th and Friday April 18th from 2:00 PM until 7:00
PM. All PASS and Beech Ridge divisions are invited to participate.

Pit gates open at 10:00 AM on race day with heat racing set for 3:00 PM sharp.

In case of foul weather, the show goes green on Sunday at 1:30 PM.
