PASS North: Two wins in a Row for Rowe

PASS North: Two wins in a Row for Rowe

Naples ME (June 14) Ben Rowe hung out in the top five for the majority
of Saturday night's Pro All Stars Series (PASS) 200 at Geary New
Brunswick's Speedway 660 and took the lead from Kirk Thibeau for good
on lap 149 to claim his second PASS North super late model win of
2009.

Adam Bates chased Rowe to the checkers and Nova Scotian John Flemming
returned to PASS competition with a third place finish. Kirk Thibeau
hung on to finish fourth with Travis Benjamin fifth. Kelly Moore
rebounded from a spectacular wreck at the touring series' last outing
at White Mountain Motorsports Park with a sixth place run. Lonnie
Sommerville dominated the first half of the 200 lap grind, but a flat
shortly after the half way break set him back to seventh Richie
Dearborn, Shawn Tucker, and Greg Fahey completed the top ten.

Problems beset a number of the PASS front runners. Johnny Clark lost a
right front wheel on lap 68, sending the point leader into the sand
banks. Clark returned many laps down to salvage a 14th place finish.
DJ Shaw started on the pole but suffered a flat tire and lost several
laps, eventually finishing fifteenth. An early race wreck claimed
Cassius Clark, local racer Brent Wiggins and Scott Alexander. Local
super late model favorite Dave O'Blenis was out at the half-way mark.

Nine cars completed the 200 lap distance. The lead changed hands six
times amongst five drivers; eleven cautions slowed the race. DJ Shaw,
Kelly Moore and Adam Bates claimed the qualifying races.

Next weekend it's a doubleheader for the PASS super late models. The
PASS South warriors head for Georgia's New Senoia Raceway for the
Dixie 150 on Saturday night June 20th. The PASS North teams will take
on "Maine's toughest oval", Unity Raceway on Sunday afternoon June
21st for the NAPA 150. The PASS Mod and PASS Sportsman series complete
that card, and there are two-for-one admission coupons available now
at all northern New England NAPA stores.
