\"500web-PASS-2006-Master\"<\/a>Cassius Clark Hopes Speedway 95 Provides Spark To Turn Around Season<\/strong><\/p>\n

NAPLES, ME (June 10) \u2013 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\u2019s 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.

\u201cIt\u2019s usually difficult to pass cars on the bottom, which usually leads up to an exciting finish and puts the fans on their feet,\u201d says Clark. \u201cI\u2019ve been involved in a few of those finishes, fortunately in the winner\u2019s circle, but unfortunate to end up down in turn one with a wrecked race car.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speedway 95 has long provided some of the best short track racing in Maine and, in a year that has seen four winners in the first five PASS races, Clark believes there is a good chance for more great competition and another new winner.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpeedway 95 has always been one of my favorite tracks and we\u2019ve had success there in the past,\u201d said Clark. \u201cIt has two distinct grooves and has you on the edge of your seat all the way around.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the win last year at Speedway 95, the post-race crash led to a premature end to Clark\u2019s championship hopes and his season. While he continues to try and work the bugs out of his current chassis, Clark hopes this weekend he can capture a redemptive win for himself and his sponsor.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are still trying to get a handle on our new car and will hopefully have it tuned up for the Hight Chevrolet\/Buick\/GMC 150 this Sunday,\u201d said Clark. \u201cWe\u2019re really looking forward to turning our season around and I can\u2019t think of a better track to do it at than Speedway 95 and in the Hight-sponsored race.\u201d<\/p>\n

A great field of PASS AIM Recycling Super Late Model Presented By Kenny U-Pull history is expected on Sunday at Speedway 95. Clark will be joined by defending series champion DJ Shaw and former champions Johnny Clark and Ben Rowe. Two-time defending AIM Recycling Oxford 250 Presented By Kenny U-Pull winner Travis Benjamin should be a strong contender along with current series points leader Mike Rowe. Quebec is represented in the early entries by Raphael Lessard and Kyle Desouza will be making the tow to Speedway 95 from Massachusetts. New Hampshire\u2019s Bryan Kruczek will be seeking his second PASS win of 2015 this weekend. And, as would be expected, a strong list of drivers from Maine will be contenders led by Wyatt Alexander, Richie Dearborn, Joey Doiron, Dave Farrington, Jr., Michael Landry, Glen Luce, Scott McDaniel, David Oliver, Adam Polvinen, and Gary Smith.<\/p>\n

Action begins this Sunday at Speedway 95 with rotating practice from 10 AM to 12:40 PM, with heat races beginning at 1:30 PM, followed by main events for the PASS AIM Recycling Super Late Models, PASS Modifieds, and Outlaw Super Series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
