Shaw, McKeage and McKinstry all winners on PASS 300 Sunday
Scarborough ME (9/12) The PASS Sportsman and Mod series joined the North East Mini Stock tour on Sunday’s PASS 400 Weekend card and all three divisions came through with exciting extra distance feature racing for the fans in the stands.
Grant Aither led thirty two PASS Sportsman racers to the green and kept the lead until both Jay Sands and Craig Smith slipped under the LEE USA track champion on lap five when Smith took the point away from Sands and Clyde Hennessey followed him through. Smith kept the field at bay until lap 35 when mechanical issues ended his afternoon. Sands resumed command and ran away and hid, but another caution erased his straightaway lead. Meanwhile the PASS points leaders had worked their way toward the front Mike Landry, Dan McKeage, and Carey Martin restarted 4th, 6th and 7the respectively. On the restart Landry made his way to second with McKeage hot on his heels. Now it was time to challenge Sands. Sands ran the second groove and Landry the bottom, the pair battling side by side at the half way mark. Hennessey sat third, McKeage fourth and Martin fifth when the field received the crossed flags.

Johnny Clark scores PASS 300
Scarborough ME (9/12) Johnny Clark got his shot at the lead late in Sunday’s Pro All Stars Series (PASS) 300 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway and he led when it counted to earn his second win in PASS North’s longest and richest super late model race. Clark passed Bill Rogers with forty to go and held off Cassius Clark by less than three tenths of a second to earn 2010 victory number five for the Clark’s Car Crushing team.
Cassius Clark took his EJ Prescott mount to the front several times throughout the event and looked like the man to beat, but a long battle over third with Richie Dearborn delayed him from catching the front pair until the day’s final restart with nineteen to go. Cassius got to Johnny’s rear bumper cover but the second generation Farmington Flyer raced the leader hard and clean to the checkers, settling for second.

Hudson NH –Peter Fiandaca scored a popular win in the Outlaw Sportsman division at Hudson International Speedway on Sunday afternoon Sept. 12th.
Fiandaca started on the outside but slipped back in the opening laps allowing pole sitter Ron Lord Jr. to lead the first few circuits. Tim Casey took a turn leading some laps after passing Lord Jr. Mitch Wendell was next up to lead the race when he passed Casey on a restart after a caution for Jay Maki who was trying to BBQ his carburetor off turn two. The next to lead was Geoff Rollins but his lead lasted about fifty feet as a caution came out for a spinning Wendell and it was determined the Rollins was involved in Wendell’s spin putting both drivers to the rear for a restart. Fiandaca inherited the lead at that point and brought the famed #135 under the checkers in first for the 323rd feature win of his long career. Wendell came back to finish second. Casey was third followed by Rollins, Bobby Allen, Kevin Kephardt, Ricky “Bobby” Woodside, John Meany, Keith “Dynamite” Walton and Lord Jr. Casey and Woodside won the heats.
