Mulkern Racing: PASS North Series
Riverside Speedway Race Preview
THE STORY
Lonnie Sommerville of Saint John, New Brunswick, will try and bounce back from a long day last time out when the PASS North Series holds the PASS 150 at Riverside Speedway in Groveton, N.H., on Sunday, June 3. Sommerville finished 12th at White Mountain Motorsports Park last weekend, plagued by both tire pressure and carburetor issues during the feature event, and the Mulkern Racing No. 48 A.E. McKay Builders Chevrolet will try and rebound this Sunday at Riverside. Sommerville has never competed at Riverside Speedway, which was off the PASS schedule in 2011. Despite the bad luck of the last two weeks, Sommerville still sits third in the PASS North standings, just 13 points out of the lead.

Bushey tops Late Models, Renegade leaders deadlocked
Defending NASCAR Whelen All-American Series stock car racing champion Ron Proctor finds himself atop the Devil’s Bowl Speedway point standings for the first time in 2012 entering Friday’s Carrara Masonry & Concrete Night presented by Mobil 1. The Charlton, NY veteran used a stellar double-feature performance to vault ahead of Jessey Mueller at last week’s People’s United Bank Memorial Day Special.
Proctor’s victory and runner-up finishes in twin 20-lap races came at the right time, as previous leaders Jessey Mueller and Vince Quenneville, Jr., suffered their worst showings of the season in the crash-marred second feature. Proctor now leads Brandon, VT driver Quenneville by 26 points (253-227), while Mueller is part of a three-way tie for third with Alex Bell and rookie Joey Roberts, each with 222 points through the first five feature events.
