Darling‘s the PASS North kingpin at Seekonk

Darling‘s the PASS North kingpin at Seekonk

NAPLES ME – (8/15) Seekonk Speedway regular David Darling took over lead from Derek Ramstrom on lap 107 of Saturday night’s Pro All Stars Series (PASS) 150 at Seekonk Speedway and fought back a challenge from Trevor Sanborn to defend his home turf and join the list of PASS Super Late Model feature winners. Trevor Sanborn was three car lengths back at the finish, followed by Ramstrom, Ben Rowe and Johnny Clark.

Darling and car owner Gary Johnson came to the track Saturday planning to use the practice sessions to tune up the Johnson Landscaping ride, with no plans to even enter the event. But the work Darling and his team put in during practice encouraged them to go ahead and take on the PASS touring pros and the result was a big payday and the hardware that goes with it.

PASS South season heats up at Newport Saturday

NAPLES ME ( 8/3) The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South super late models get back on track this Saturday August 7 at Newport (TN) Speedway after a month- long hiatus and the 125 lap Daniel Boone Classic will mark the start of their stretch run to the 2010 series championship.

The Daniel Boone Classic has been a part of the PASS South schedule since 2008 and the wickedly fast high banked speed plant has seen just one driver wear the coonskin cap that signifies victory at the Tennessee oval. Jay Fogleman seems to have the key to victory lane at Newport and you can bet that the Durham North Carolina super late model star isn’t about to hand it over to his competition. Fogleman outran Bobby East in 2008 and Jake Crum in 2009 for two of his four career PASS wins, and without a doubt he will look to pull himself up in the series standings with a good run in the 2010 version of the Classic.
