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
