Rusty Bryant scores first PASS Mod win
Johnny Clark overcame mechanical problems and a shot gun starting position to win Saturday night’s Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North 150 at Epping New Hampshire’s Star Speedway. Clark gave race leader Travis Benjamin the bump and run on lap 144 and led the final six laps to capture his first win of the young season. Benjamin settled for second with Quebec racer Martin LaTulippe finished in third. Beech Ridge winner Joey Doiron raced under the checkers fourth and Ben Rowe was fifth.
Engine issues kept Clark out of the qualifying rounds but the defending series champ worked his way into the top five before the half way mark. Benjamin had taken over the top spot from Ben Rowe at lap 62 and it looked like he had the car to capture his first PASS super late model win since 2008. Clark took the lead on a lap 103 restart and held it until Benjamin reclaimed it under green on lap 126. Five laps later a power surge darkened the entire race track, setting up a red flag period that miraculously saw all competitors come to a safe stop. Once power was restored Benjamin held the point with Clark, Donnie Whitten and defending race winner Derek Ramstrom all giving chase .Ramstrom had gone from front to back several times and Whitten was about to make a charge at the lead but both made off track excursions in the closing laps, relegating Ramstrom to 13th and Whitten to 10trh at the stripe.
