Johnny Clark: PASS North Series
White Mountain Motorsports Park Race Preview
4-time PASS North Series champion Johnny Clark of Farmingdale, Maine, looks to bounce back in the PASS 150 at White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, N.H., on Saturday, May 22. Clark, who is attempting to become the first driver to win three straight PASS titles, finished 6th in the season-opener at Beech Ridge. He’s never won at the high-banked quarter-mile White Mountain track despite finishing second there on numerous occasions — making it just one of two tracks on the schedule where he’s never won a Super Late Model race. Last season, Clark locked up the 2009 PASS North championship with a 5th-place finish at White Mountain.

Hudson NH – John Morin Jr. won his first Rookie Stock feature race of the 2010 Hudson Speedway racing season on Sunday May 16th in dramatic fashion. John Cashman led the early laps of the twenty lap feature until Keith ”Slika” Ennis took over the top spot. Ennis led the field for much of the race with heavy pressure from behind with two-time champion Scotty Duval right on his bumper. With laps winding down Ennis and Duval were still nose to tail, Morin Jr caught the top two and put his car in outside groove work past them. Just after clearing Ennis and coming to the starters stand to get the two to go, Morin Jr thought he saw starter Randy Christian waving the yellow flag and he lifted. Christian was simply holding the wrapped yellow flag while pointing down the track to a car slowing to go into the pits. By the time Morin Jr realized his mistake Ennis and Duval slipped back by on the inside. So Morin Jr. went back at it on the outside and got past both the top cars on the last lap for the win. Second through tenth were Ennis, Duval, Dean Wendell, Heath Toutelotte, Dan Murphy Jr., Cashman, Billy Clement Jr., Larry Fortin and Corrie Merritt.
