83 Cars at Beech Ridge for Practice for PASS Pullen 400 Weekend


 


(Naples, ME – September 22, 2005) You could have had quite a race at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway today with the teams that showed up for the first practice for this weekend’s PASS Pullen 400 Weekend.


 


With 83 cars signed in by early afternoon, and that’s without more than half of the already registered Beech Ridge Wildcats and Sport Series cars (Limited/Streeters), it looks like the pits will be full with over 200 cars by Saturday morning.


 


The first car in line to enter this morning was the Pioneer Coal car of Donald Chisholm of Antigonish, Nova Scotia, and right behind him was the two car team of local favorites Mike Rowe and Brad Leighton.  John Flemming of Halifax, NS and the legendary Rollie MacDonald, this year’s winner of the Carquest Series in the Maritimes, also made the long trip for a crack at the $15,000 to win.


 


Among the other top Super Late Model/Pro stock drivers in attendance were Steve Berry, Jr, Scott Mulkern, Corey Williams, Alan Tardif, Dan McKeage, Jeff Taylor, Bill Rodgers, David Bath, Chuck Lachance, Scott Chubbuck, Ben Rowe, Cassius Clark, Brockie Gerry, J. R. Baril, Bub Bilodeau, last week’s winner at White Mountain Richie Dearborn, and several others.


 


Johnny Clark was one of the late arriving drivers because he was busy preparing two cars. The 2004 PASS championship #54 and the #154 of the new long distance champion Michael Pickens of Auckland, New Zealand. Michael and Johnny met when they were both invited to participate in the Roush Racing “Gong Show” several months ago to win a ride in the Craftsman Truck Series.


 


Michael would probably be at Tony Stewart’s Eldora Speedway this weekend running his dirt midget in the USAC Four Crown Show if Johnny didn’t offer him a chance at his first ride on asphalt, and he said that he was really looking forward to his first pavement race experience and just to part of an event like the PASS Pullen 300 lap race was quite something.
