Farmington, Maine’s, Cassius Clark is all set to start his 2014 PASS North Super Late Model title defense this coming Saturday, April 26th at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford Maine. The defending champion will once again be aboard the potent #77 Super Late Model owned by Corey Hight, and sponsored by Hight Chevrolet, Buick, GMC.
Clark won his first PASS SLM championship in 2013, and he did it with consistent finishes all season long. In twelve starts last season, he carried the checkered flag twice, had nine top five finishes, and eleven top tens. His consistency allowed him to edge out runner-up Joey Doiron by a mere four points, and third place finisher, DJ Shaw, by just five points. Travis Benjamin finished fourth, just eight-eight points back, while Ben Rowe rounded out the top five. The top four racers in points collected nine of the twelve feature event wins.
2014 looks to be an outstanding season for PASS as several veteran teams, and newcomers will be challenging for the title. Two such veteran campaigners are multi-time champions Johnny Clark and Ben Rowe. Both of these racers were held winless in 2013, and have spent the entire offseason upgrading their racers for 2014. They both are very excited about the upcoming race season, and have high hopes of climbing back to the top of the pack and challenging for the coveted championship title.
The PASS Mods will see Scott Alexander try to defend his title against many cagey veterans, and a slew of newcomers. Expect this title battle to go down to the wire in 2014. The PASS Sportsman will kick off their season as well, and there just might be a new champion crowned as 2013 champ Cary Martin has hinted that something else may be in his plans for this season.
The PASS North Series opens up Saturday, April 26th at Oxford Plains Speedway with a post time of 2pm. There will be an open practice for all PASS divisions and NELCAR Legends on Friday, April 25th from 1-6pm, pits open at 11am. Oxford Plains Speedway is located on Route 26 in Oxford, Maine.
