Drivers Head to Virginia for 150 Laps of Super Late Model Racing Action
With two stops in both South Carolina and North Carolina in the 2011 racing season, the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South presented by JE Pistons and Roush Yates Performance Products heads to Virginia on Saturday, May 7th, for 150-laps of Super Late Model racing action at South Boston Speedway. The “PASS South 150” event is the fifth points race of the season as the action continues to ramp up in the south.
South Boston Speedway has been a regular stop for the series over the years. Big names in Super Late Model racing have gone to victory lane at the track in PASS South competition, including Cassius Clark (2006), Johnny Clark (2008), Ben Rowe (2009) and Jimmy Weller (2010), but all of these races were held towards the end of the series season with only one chance for drivers to etch their names in the record book as a SoBo PASS South winner. In 2011, the series will visit the track twice, giving two opportunities for drivers to enter victory lane during the season at the Virginia track. (more…)
The season opener was at Beech Ridge this weekend. We went down to practice on Friday and due to the pits being very wet all super late models were parked on the infield. First practice we found oil leak, second practice we found some problems with the transmission. (more…)
The Amsoil Nelcar Legends Tour returned the Beech Ridge Motor Speedway this past weekend along with the popular Pro All Stars Series, and as usual, the race did not disappoint. 21 Legends Cars took to the 3/8s flat oval this past Saturday in what was a race that was much different than the aggressive and slick surface at New Hampshire Motor Speedway just two weeks prior. With the PASS Pro Stocks, there was plenty of grip being put down on the racetrack and the drivers kept their cool and put on another great show for the fans. (more…)
HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. (May 3, 2011) – If you ask Kyle Busch what he does for fun, the answer is simple – racing is his ultimate fun.
What could be more fun than racing for Busch? That would be winning, which doubles his fun. Busch, who turned 26 on Monday, is fresh off his latest win after scoring his second NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory of the season last weekend at Richmond (Va.) International Raceway.
Johnny Clark claims PASS North opening day thriller at Beech Ridge
Andy Shaw and Shane Tatro PASS Mod, Sportsman winners
Scarborough ME (4/30) Johnny Clark reclaimed the lead on lap 120 of Saturday’s Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North season opener at Scarborough Maine’s Beech Ridge Motor Speedway and the defending super late model champ survived several late race cautions to nab the 150 lap feature over a charging Donnie Whitten. Ben Rowe, Lonnie Sommerville and Shawn Turple rounded out the top five.
Clark led the most laps from his pole position start but the win was by no means easy. There were plenty of challengers up front. Travis Benjamin dogged the leader early on until mechanical issues sent him to the pit area. Benjamin returned to finish ninth. Derek Ramstrom was on fire too, taking the lead away from the defending series champ on lap 113.But problems sidelined Ramstrom too, possibly the result of contact with Clark on one of several tooth and nail restarts as the pair battled for the top spot. Ramstrom’s troubles gave Trevor Sanborn a shot at the lead and he took advantage, taking over the point for several laps before Clark powered by on a lap 120 restart. (more…)
