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.

CHARLOTTE, NC (July 14) – Pro All Stars Series (PASS) officials announced today the tire combination that will be utilized for the upcoming Labor Day Classic at the Historic North Wilkesboro (NC) Speedway.
The Hoosier F-56 bias ply tire will be used on the right side and the Hoosier F-45 bias ply tire will be used on the left side when the PASS South Super Late Models hit the track on September 3-4 for a 200 lap contest.
