Mike Rowe captures PASS Bastille 200 – Whitten, Landry claim Mod and Sportsman wins
Naples ME (4/14/10) Mike Rowe stole the lead from Johnny Clark on a restart with twelve laps to go to capture the Pro ALL Stars Series (PASS) Bastille 200 at Lee (NH) USA Speedway Tuesday night. Clark had to settle for second; Ben Rowe raced under the checkers third. DJ Shaw and Richie Dearborn completed the top five.
Clark looked like he was on his way to PASS North win number four of 2010, setting a blistering pace that left the field in another zip code over the second half of the 200 lap grind. But Mike Rowe was lurking inside the top ten all night long and he turned on the jets with fifty laps to go in an effort to chase down the leader. Still, it looked like his effort would come up one spot short until the final yellow flag of the night flew. The pair let it all hang out on the restart and Rowe took over for good after a little contact between the pair coming out of turn three.

Make or Break For Thunder Road Title Dreams in Times Argus Mid-Season Championships
Barre, VT – This Thursday’s Times Argus Mid-Season Championships at Barre’s Thunder Road will be the most important event for any team with 2010 title hopes, as double points are on the line for all four divisions. Some drivers will be looking to keep their momentum going into the second half of the 2010 season while others will be looking to use the double points night to turn around a forgettable first half of the season.
Montpelier’s Dave Pembroke, with two wins already this season, holds an eight point lead over Senator Phil Scott in the Thunder Road Late Model Championship standings. Barre’s Nick Sweet also has two wins this season, although one was an ACT Tour point counting event at Thunder Road, and sits just 26 points out of the lead. Among the top three Scott, who also has a feature win already this season, is the only one with a finish outside of the top ten in the first eight races.
