White Mountain Motorsports Park Race Preview
Mulkern Racing LLC of Falmouth, Maine, will bring a two-car effort when the PASS North Series heads to White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, N.H., for the PASS 150 on Sunday, August 12. Full-time driver Lonnie Sommerville of Saint John, New Brunswick, will join Brad Keselowski Racing devlopment driver Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, Maine, on the banked quarter-mile in the heart of the White Mountains. Sommerville and the No. 48 A.E.

Theriault will be making his second consecutive start in the No. 18 Southern Maine Motors/Community Pharmacies Chevrolet after a stellar sixth-place debut with the team last weekend at Seekonk Speedway.
