Cassius Clark Hopes Speedway 95 Provides Spark To Turn Around Season
NAPLES, ME (June 10) – As the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) AIM Recycling Super Late Models Pres. By Kenny U-Pull prepare for race number six of the 2015 season, Cassius Clark is still seeking his first top five finish of the year. While the former series champion has performed well this season, currently sitting fourth in points, the numbers have still not been up to par for Clark. This Sunday afternoon, Clark and his fellow PASS competitors will head to Bangor, ME’s Speedway 95 for the Hight Chevrolet/Buick/GMC 150. Clark comes to Speedway 95 as the defending race winner at the event named for his longtime sponsor, but seeking redemption at the same time. Despite his win last year, contact past the start/finish line with DJ Shaw sent Clark into a dirt berm in turn one and out for the rest of the 2014 season.

Kaz Grala Dominates For 1st Career PASS South Win At South Boston
SOUTH BOSTON, VA (June 6) – Kaz Grala took the lead from Jared Fryar for the final time with 32 laps to go and pulled away to score his first career Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model win Saturday night at South Boston Speedway. Grala joins Kyle Busch, Alex Haase, and Christopher Bell as drivers who have been able to take Kyle Busch-owned Toyotas to victory lane in PASS competition.
“Man, that was a blast, first PASS race ever and it definitely got hectic on those restarts,” said Grala afterwards in victory lane. “On the short run we were pretty snug on corner entry and free on exit, but it only took a couple of laps before it came back in. As soon as the car came back in we were able to hunt him [Fryar] back down and get under him. To sit on the pole and win my first PASS race is just awesome, I would have never imagined that.”
