It was day two of the P.A.S.S. North championship weekend, and a beautiful weather day attracted a full field of cars into the huge Oxford Plains Speedway pit area. Fifty Super Late Models entered the garage area to compete for thirty-six positions in the Ripley and Fletcher Ford 150.
Johnny Clark and Shawn Martin brought the field to green with Clark assuming the point from the get go. Clark held the lead until Scott Mulkern took over the top spot on lap 17 and set a torrid pace until lap 75 when Joey Doiron slipped by Mulkern for the lead. Doiron and Cassius Clark were tied in points heading into the main event, and Doiron was ecstatic as the crowd erupted when he grabbed the top point. Mulkern regained the lead after a caution for a minor spin by Dylan Gosbee on lap 94. Mulkern held off all chargers including Doiron, Cassius Clark and DJ Shaw until the final caution flew on lap 130 as Shawn Martin broke a suspension part and flew over the top of turn three. This caution set up an unbelievable set of circumstances as the top three, Mulkern, Clark, and Doiron were three wide for three consecutive laps before Clark snared the lead. The lead time for Clark was short lived as DJ Shaw raced by, and held the lead to the finish. Mulkern raced home second, followed by Cassius Clark, Travis Benjamin and Doiron. By finishing in the third position, Cassius Clark was crowned the 2013 P.A.S.S. North champion. In victory lane Clark thanked the world, especially his Hight Chevrolet family for their support. Heat checkers flew for Johnny Clark, Mike Rowe, Joey Doiron and Shawn martin. Consolation victories went to Tony Ricci and DJ Shaw, while the “B” feature checkers flew for Mike Landry.
Mark Lundblad Jr. changed a motor in his P.A.S.S. Mod on Saturday morning, and dominated the fifty lap main event on Saturday afternoon. Ron Henry raced home second ahead of Scott Alexander, Evan Armington and Travis Buzzell. Heat victories went to Carey Martin and Lundblad Jr, Scott Alexander was crowned the 2013 P.A.S.S. Modified champion. Due to possible post race infractions, this P.A.S.S. Modified finish is totally unofficial. OFFICIAL FINISH WILL BE POSTED WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE!
Richard Burgess led all 50 laps of the P.A.S.S. Sportsman feature, as he defeated Rusty Poland, Steve Bennett Sr., Joe Pastore Jr. and Billy Childs. Burgess and Poland won their respective qualifiers. Carey Martin was crowned the 2013 P.A.S.S. Sportsman champion, and in victory lane announced that he will be behind the wheel of a P.A.S.S. Modified full time in 2014.
The support division features saw Calvin Rose Jr win the Allen’s Coffee Flavored Brandy Mini Stocks, Kurt Hewins the Allen’s Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stocks, and Josh Childs won the Ripley and Fletcher Ford Outlaw Sportsman main. Complete finishes are listed below.
