PASS North To Be Well Represented By Young New Englanders at Florida Winter Meltdown

NAPLES, ME (January 31) – There’s something about Florida in February that’s been attracting the best drivers in racing for the better part of a century. From the “North Turn” at Daytona’s world famous beach to short tracks stretching from the Panhandle to Miami, racers have flocked to the Sunshine State every winter. And 2013 will be no different. Florida’s “big race” season is set to begin in just over a week as some of the best of the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) make the trek down to Auburndale Speedway for the Winter Meltdown. The first PASS National Series race of the year is attracting Super Late Model drivers from all over North America in the hopes of wrestling the checkered flag away from the top short track hot shoes in Florida.

PASS North will be represented well by a trio of young drivers joining two-time PASS National Series Champion Ben Rowe in making the long trip down South. D.J. Shaw, Kyle Desousza, and Joey Doiron have all found success racing in New England’s top short track series. Shaw is coming off a successful return to the PASS North Series in 2012 that saw him score two wins and finish third in points. Evidence that the Precision JLM/Mulkern Excavating team could be poised for a PASS National Championship this year. (more…)

OXFORD, Maine – Bobby Timmons of Windham, Maine, led the Mulkern Racing effort in the PASS North Series season-ending PASS 150 at Oxford Plains Speedway on Saturday, October 20, finishing eighth in his series debut.

Timmons recovered from an early spin on the backstretch to post the Top-10 finish in the No. 48x Timmons Machine/Southern Maine Motors Chevrolet, while both Sommerville and Mulkern fought ill-handling race cars throughout the day and made several pit stops under caution for adjustments.
