Naples ME – (September 21,2008) Johnny Clark won two races at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway Sunday afternoon. The first was off pit road when he beat the field back to the speedway on lap 258, and the second came when the checkered flag flew on lap 295 of the rain-shortened PASS 300. Clark led the final 42 laps toclaim the $10,000.00 victory over Adam Bates and Kelly Moore in a race that was short on cautions (six), with plenty of long green flag runs and battles for position throughout the thirty-five car field on every lap.
Trevor Sanborn had the field covered for most of the day, leading 225 laps in the season’s longest PASS event. But his race car didn’t have the edge it once had after pitting for tires and fuel. Sanborn had to settle for fourth followed by Cassius Clark in fifth. Travis Benjamin, DJ Shaw, Ben Rowe, John Stancill and Scott Mulkern completed the top ten. The top eight finished on the lead lap.
The win was Clark’s fourth PASS North victory of 2008, drawing him closer to the top of the championship point standings and a shot at his third PASS North title. PASS instituted a “best 12” format for the 2008 points chase so the standings will experience a shake up after the PASS 300, race number thirteen of the fourteen race schedule.
The PASS 300 was one of four races awarding PASS National Championship points, and Cassius Clark has taken the unofficial lead in those standings with his fifth place finish. John Stancill led Clark by two markers prior to the 300; Stancill ran up front for much of the day but a miscue exiting pit road cost the young North Carolina racer a lap late in the race. That series will come down to the Howler at Greenville-Pickens Speedway on Saturday October 18th. Expect Clark and Stancill to make the trip to Greenville South Carolina to battle it out for the title. Clark is the defending race winner
The PASS North super late model and Mod series championship contenders will wage an on-track war for their respective 2008 series championships on Saturday October 4th at Wiscasset (ME) Raceway.
