Excitement building for 2nd Annual PASS 400 Weekend at Beech Ridge


 


            NAPLES, Maine (Sept. 18, 2006) — As summer draws to a close here in northern New England, race fans are ready for one last big show before old man winter closes the gates on another season. And, just as they did in September of 2005, officials from the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) will deliver in the form of the 2nd Annual PASS 400 weekend, Sept. 23-24, at the beautiful Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine. 


            This two-day program feature racing in five divisions, highlighted by a $10,000-to-win  300-lap race for the PASS North Super Late Model/Pro Stock touring series. Billed as the biggest Pro Stock race in the northeast, Sunday’s extravaganza will pit the top short track stars from the eastern United States and Canada against each other for a huge purse and bragging rights. 


            Among the drivers who have filed entries are former NASCAR champions Dale Shaw, Kelly Moore and Dave Dion. Shaw, winner of last Saturday’s race at White Mountain, captured his Busch North Series title in 1994 driving for famed car owner Quint Boisvert; Moore, who also won last Saturday at New Hampshire International Speedway earned his crown in 1995, and the man they call ‘Dynamite’ proved the Dion Brothers squad had what it took to win a title in 1996.


            Entries have also been received from some of the top teams in Canada, including Lonnie Sommerville of St. John, New Brunswick, who won the Irving Oil 250 at New Brunswick International Speedway in Fredericton, NB a few weeks ago, John Flemming of Halifax, NS, the current Maritime Pro Stock Series point’s leader, and Patrick Laperle of St Denis, QC.


                        Competition on this year’s PASS North tour has been intense, yet one young racer from Farmington, Maine has been on quite a roll. Cassius Clark, driver of the Team EJP/Chapman Racing Ford Fusion, comes into 400 Weekend as the odds-on favorite, having notched his fifth victory of 2006 at 'The Ridge' on Sunday, September 10. After finishing fourth in 2005, Clark says his team is prepared for the extra-distance event, and plans to contend for the win late Sunday afternoon.


            “Beech Ridge was where I ran my very first race, in a Legend car,” says Clark. “The place means a lot to me and winning the PASS race there on September 10th was extra special. I really like these long-distance races, you have time to adjust the car if needed and work your way to the front. We have a really strong setup for the car now, I hope track conditions will be similar when we get there for the 300. It’s a huge race for us, our sponsors and the series itself. We’re going into it well prepared and hope to be in Victory Lane when all is said and done.”


            Defending race winner Mike Rowe had his Lux Enterprises Chevrolet dialed in at Beech Ridge, nipping Johnny Clark for third at the line as the checkered flag waved. With his impressive resume in extra-distance races (three-time Oxford 250 champion, five PASS wins in 2005), he too is among the favorites.


            “It meant a lot to me to win the first one last year,” said Rowe. “It’s a long race, and you have to be patient as you move forward and work your way through lapped traffic. If we can find the right balance in the car for the start, I’ll be in good shape and should be in contention to win. We started out too tight in the last race there, but we made some adjustments and managed to work our way up to a top-three finish. I’m looking forward to Sunday in hopes to defend our 2005 victory.”


            Saturday’s full race card kicks off with qualifying races for all divisions. Also on tap is a 35-lap PASS Modified division feature and 75-lap Wildcat division feature. The Wildcat division at Beech Ridge is presented by Maine Indoor Karting, and teams will battle for a $1,000 winner’s purse on Saturday.


            On Sunday, things heat up with a 50-lap B-Main/Last Chance Qualifier for the Super Late Models at 12:05 p.m. Then the exciting PASS Outlaw Late Model division takes to the track for a $2,000-to-win 100-lap feature. Next up is a 40-lap thriller for the Modifieds, followed by a 100-lap Beech Ridge Limited division feature.


            It all culminates with the second running of one of America’s greatest short track spectacles — a 300-lap PASS North battle-royale you’ll never forget.

103 Cars at Beech Ridge for PASS 400 Practice Friday


 


 


(Naples, ME – September 22, 2006) For the inaugural PASS 400 Weekend at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway, Scarborough, ME last September a total of 83 cars came to the practice day. At 7pm tonight, 103 cars had practiced for the 2nd Annual PASS 400 Weekend this Saturday and Sunday at noon both days.


 


At the conclusion of last night’s Midweek Series show, the haulers started to line up at the pit entrance with the two-car teams of Scott Chubbuck and Tony Ricci and Ben Rowe and Trevor Sanborn at the front. Corey Williams was in line and ready to go, and Mike Rowe and Richie Dearborn rolled in a little before 11pm. At six am this morning the line was well back into the campgrounds, which forced the pit gates to be opened an hour early before the line overflowed onto the local roads and into the morning rush hour traffic.


 


The PASS super late models were well represented with John Flemming of Halifax, NS, the 2006 Carquest Pro Stock Tour Champion, Kelly Moore, Dave Dion, Brad Leighton, 2004 PASS champion and current point leader Johnny Clark, Stan Meserve, Cassius Clark, Travis Benjamin, Alan Tardif in his newly repaired #8, Alan Wilson, Bill Penfold, Patrick Laperle, Chris Kennison, Bill Jr and Jeremie Whorff, Curt Gerry, Scott Robbins, Jeff Taylor, Scott Mulkern, and a host of others.


 


A number of the PASS Outlaw Late Models are going to attempt to make the big show including Derek Ramstrom, Chris Staples, Matt Pepin, Gary Norris, Jr, and Jimmy Rosenfield. Several newcomers to the PASS Outlaw Late Models were among the over 30 Outlaw cars practicing including Dale Verrill of S. Paris, ME in the very pretty #42 and Gary Groves of wetbrook, ME in the #16.


 


Between the Super Late Models and PASS Outlaw Late Models it looks like over 100 pro stock cars will be racing this weekend.


 


The Sport Series/Limiteds were well represented as were the Wildcat/Strcitlys. The PASS Modifieds also came out with two new cars joining the fray for the Saturday qualifying starting at noon.
