Can Johnny Clark make it four in a row at the Center of Speed?
Naples ME ( June 10, 2008) The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North super late models get back in action on Sunday June 15th for the Steel’s Real Rods and Custom 125 and the biggest question amongst PASS north fans is, who can stop Johnny Clark at Wiscasset Raceway?
Clark is on a three race PASS hot streak at Wiscasset that dates back to August of 2007. But Travis Benjamin gave Clark all he could handle in the Ray Haskell Ford 125 back in May, crossing the finish line half a car length behind the two time PASS super late model champion. Adam Bates, Ben Rowe, D.J. Shaw, Cassius Clark, Kelly Moore and Scott Chubbuck all showed plenty of speed in the Wiscasset PASS opener as well, so there will be plenty of challengers to Clark’s recent dominance. There’s a guaranteed spot in the August 17, $30,000.00 to win Toyota Tundra 250 on the line for the race winner so there’s added incentive to race home first on Sunday.
The PASS Mods are on Sunday’s racing card and Mark Lucas has a win streak of his own on the line. Lucas has won three straight in the open wheelers, but opening day winner Andy Shaw, Kenny Harrison, Tom Oliver, Ron Gooden and Gary Norris are just a few of the Mod crew that will be looking to unravel Lucas’ skein of victories.
Its race number three of 2008 for the Pluffybilt Racing Tractors PASS Sportsman racers; Terry Merrill and 2007 series champ Dan McKeage have both visited victory lane in the popular series. Point leader Shane Tatro, Duane Seekins and Steve Bennett Sr. have all run up front and any one of them and a host of others could easily take down their first PASS checker of 2008.
A $500.00 to win 50-lap Street Stock Nationals qualifier will round out a non stop Father’s Day afternoon of action-packed racing. The pit gates swing open Sunday June 15th at 9:00 AM, with practice set for 11:00 AM. Grandstands open at noon and the heat races go green at 2:00 PM sharp.
