The Amsoil Nelcar Legends Tour returned the Beech Ridge Motor Speedway this past weekend along with the popular Pro All Stars Series, and as usual, the race did not disappoint. 21 Legends Cars took to the 3/8s flat oval this past Saturday in what was a race that was much different than the aggressive and slick surface at New Hampshire Motor Speedway just two weeks prior. With the PASS Pro Stocks, there was plenty of grip being put down on the racetrack and the drivers kept their cool and put on another great show for the fans.

Johnny Clark claims PASS North opening day thriller at Beech Ridge
Andy Shaw and Shane Tatro PASS Mod, Sportsman winners
Scarborough ME (4/30) Johnny Clark reclaimed the lead on lap 120 of Saturday’s Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North season opener at Scarborough Maine’s Beech Ridge Motor Speedway and the defending super late model champ survived several late race cautions to nab the 150 lap feature over a charging Donnie Whitten. Ben Rowe, Lonnie Sommerville and Shawn Turple rounded out the top five.
Clark led the most laps from his pole position start but the win was by no means easy. There were plenty of challengers up front. Travis Benjamin dogged the leader early on until mechanical issues sent him to the pit area. Benjamin returned to finish ninth. Derek Ramstrom was on fire too, taking the lead away from the defending series champ on lap 113.But problems sidelined Ramstrom too, possibly the result of contact with Clark on one of several tooth and nail restarts as the pair battled for the top spot. Ramstrom’s troubles gave Trevor Sanborn a shot at the lead and he took advantage, taking over the point for several laps before Clark powered by on a lap 120 restart.
