NAPLES ME (July 26) Cassius Clark wrestled\u00a0 <\/span>the race lead from Donnie Whitten on lap ten of Saturday\u2019s Pro All Stars Series (PASS) super late model Summerfest 150 <\/span>at Groveton New Hampshire\u2019s Riverside Speedway <\/span>and never looked back to record his first PASS\u00a0 <\/span>feature win of 2009. Clark\u2019s victory ended a PASS North winless streak dating back to October of 2007 for the 2008 PASS National Championship series titlist. Kelly Moore brought his NAPA Chevrolet home second and pole sitter Donnie Whitten earned his best result of 2009 by finishing third. Ben Rowe and DJ Shaw rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n

Only a pair of minor caution periods slowed the 150 lap event that took just forty three minutes to complete.\u00a0 <\/span>Point Leader and defending race winner Johnny Clark had a subpar night finishing ninth, the last car to complete all 150 laps. Derek Ramstrom was involved in one of the few on track skirmishes,\u00a0resulting in a 13th<\/sup>place run. Ben Rowe worked his way up to fourth from <\/span>his\u00a0 eleventh place spot on the starting grid to gain a little ground in the title chase, and Adam Bates recorded a sixth place finish to keep pace with the title contenders<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The victory was redemption for Clark after falling out of the 2008 version of the Summerfest 150 with power steering problems after dominating over two thirds of that event. This year the team discovered their problems in afternoon practice, changing a bad clutch before race time. If the failure had occurred during the race, the results would have been very different.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Adam Bates, Chris Staples, Rookie Steve Legendre, Johnny Clark and Richie Dearborn finished in positions six through ten. Nine cars completed all 150 laps. <\/span>Whitten and Shaw each scored a \u00a0heat race win<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

PASS North will return to Unity (ME) Raceway on Sunday August 2 for the rescheduled NAPA 150. <\/span>Two for one coupons are still available at your northern New England NAPA stores as well as this week\u2019s edition of the Racin\u2019 Paper. PASS Mods and Sportsman complete the schedule, set for a 3:00 PM start.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
