Naples ME (10/15) Due to the forecast of persistent showers in the Groveton New Hampshire area for Saturday October 16, The PASS Sportsman event scheduled for Riverside Speedway has been postponed until Sunday October 17.
The schedule remains the same: Pit gate opens at 8:00 AM and the first green flag flies at 1:00 PM
NAPLES ME (10/12) This Mason-Dixon Meltdown is the traditional final round of the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South super late model season and the showdown for the 2010 championship is the kind that race fans dream of. Ryan Blaney and Preston Peltier are locked in a battle that could easily come down to a last lap change in position or even a tie breaker when the pair slug it out at the Meltdown’s latest venue, Newport (TN) Speedway on Saturday October 16.
Blaney leads Peltier by just four points and there’s a two point spread between each finishing position. Peltier needs to gain three spots to take the crown and you can bet that the hard charger will go all out to finish in front of Blaney. But the teenage short track superstar has made it clear that he knows his way around Newport and Peltiers’ task will not be an easy one. Blaney won the Daniel Boone Classic at Newport earlier this season and the 2009 PASS South rookie of the year has proven that he’s got what it takes to earn the championship. Both drivers have three visits to PASS victory lane and nine top tens in the series’ first twelve races, so it’s only fitting that they battle it out for the title in the season finale.

NAPLES ME 10/2) The 2010 Pro All Stars Series (PASS) racing schedule is winding down, but there are still three championships to be decided when the PASS South Super Late Models and PASS Sportsman take to two different race tracks on Saturday October 16.
In New England the PASS Sportsman title is a three way battle between 2007 Champion Dan McKeage, defending Sportsman champ Carey Martin and Mike Landry. The standings were turned upside down on PASS 400 weekend at Beech Ridge when Landry had all sorts of problems, eventually wrecking out of the 100 lap feature for a 20th place result. McKeage earned his first win of 2010 and Martin came home in the show spot, vaulting the pair past Landry in the standings. McKeage has a fourteen point advantage over Martin with Landry twenty four back.

Three consecutive PASS North titles for the Farmingdale Maine short track star
Naples ME Johnny Clark’s 2010 season ended quietly in the White Mountain Motorsports Park pit area, the rear axle housing of his Clark’s Car Crushing/Port City Race Cars Impala cocked to one side with a rear suspension failure that ended his night early in the PASS North super late model season finale. It was supposed to be Clark’s night to celebrate an unprecedented fifth Pro All Stars Series title, his team’s third consecutive championship. But Clark didn’t get to make a flashy burn out or receive congratulations from his many fans in attendance.
While it wasn’t the sort of celebration that a racer dreams of, the facts remained the same. Clark’s five win season, with 10 top five and 12 top ten finishes, was one of the strongest in the ten year history of the Pro All Stars Series and further secured his status as one of America’s top super late model racers.

NAPLES ME (9/28) Andy Shaw passed under the checkers first in the PASS Mod season finale at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway to claim his fifth win of the 2010 season and the 2010 PASS Mod Championship.
The Center Conway New Hampshire racer’s 2010 statistics are enviable, to say the least. A batting average of .500 is unheard of in most every sport but Shaw managed to win fifty percent of the ten race PASS Mod schedule and finish in the top five in all ten starts.

Hickory NC ( 9/27) The PASS South Super Late Models headed to the Hickory (NC) Motor Speedway for the “Over the Mountain 150” Saturday, September 25th, 2010. Heading into the night’s action, Ryan Blaney held a six-point advantage over Preston Peltier for the series championship. Both racers showed why they are battling for the top honors as Peltier went to victory lane with Blaney crossing the line second, shrinking Blaney’s lead to just four points heading into the final race of the season.
“It is going to come down to the last lap at Newport,” said Peltier in victory lane. “If he gets the championship, he will deserve it. If I get it, I will deserve it. I just hope it is exciting.”
