PASS North: 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.

The PASS North super late models return to action on Sunday June 15th
at Wiscasset Raceway for the Steel's Real Rod and Customs 125. Visit
