The first wave of entry blanks were mailed to 2010 PASS super late model license holders and five time PASS North super late model Champion Johnny Clark was the first to commit to the short track world’s richest super late model event. Clark’s never raced on the iconic ¾ mile speedway but he will take advantage of the two days of practice leading up to the April 9th 300 lapper.He’s competitive whenever he hits the track but he has demonstrated a knack for checkering the big money shows. Clark has to be considered one of the early favorites in what promises to be a strong field..
