Scott Mulkern Finishes 15th At Beech Ridge
Scott Mulkern: PASS North Series
Beech Ridge Motor Speedway Race Report
SCARBOROUGH, Maine – Scott Mulkern of Falmouth, Maine, finished 15th in the PASS North Series season-opening PASS 150 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, on Saturday, April 30. In less than 20 laps, Mulkern had gone from 15th starting spot all the way up to ninth. The car started to show signs of ill-handling in the second half of the race, though, and contact with another car in the late stages of the event broke something in the car’s steering as he held on for his final finishing position. The other Mulkern Racing entry, the No. 48 A.E. McKay Builders Chevrolet for Lonnie Sommerville, finished fourth in its PASS North Series debut.

That has been the case for three years, at least, after Busch, who will turn 26 Monday, won Saturday night’s Crown Royal Presents 400 at the .75-mile track. The victory was Busch’s second in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series this season and the 21st of his career.
