NAPLES ME (7/7/10) Mother Nature has turned up the thermostat and so has the Pro All Stars Series as the toughest month of the super late model schedule moves on to Scarborough Maine’s Beech Ridge Motor Speedway on Saturday July 10. Beech Ridge is the second stop of a five race month for the super late models and it’s likely that many teams will measure thei seasons’ success based on their results in July.
The family focused oval produces some of the closest racing around and the Beech Ridge Pro Series regulars that often come out to challenge the touring teams are always competitive. 2009 track champion Mike Rowe, Aaron Ricker, Chuck Colby, and a whole lot more are well capable of running up front. Former PASS North regular Mike Rowe whipped up on the field in the series’ first 2010 appearance at the immaculate Holmes Road oval. The 2006 PASS South Champion came from 28th in the field to deny Adam Bates and Ben Rowe the Sunoco checkered flag
