Organization To Back PASS North, Beech Ridge Teams This Season
FALMOUTH, Maine – For the second time in as many seasons, Mulkern Racing have representation in both the PASS North Series and in weekly NASCAR Whelen All-American Series competition at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in 2013.
Veteran pilot Scott Mulkern of Falmouth, Maine, will make his return to full-time PASS racing for the first time in a decade after several seasons of part-time efforts, while Bobby Timmons III of Windham, Maine, will return to the seat at Beech Ridge where he was a rookie in 2012.
“I can say ‘thank you’ over and over again, but it doesn’t really truly show how appreciative we are – me, my father and my team – of what everybody at Mulkern Racing is doing for us,” Timmons said. “It’s everybody at Mulkern Racing that’s part of this. They help us out and give us everything we need.
“I think we’ll be forever indebted.” (more…)

The Pro All Stars Series tour kicks off their 2013 season at Oxford Plains Speedway on April 21st. Defending champion Travis Benjamin, is looking forward to the green flag. “Being a PASS champion is a great accomplishment!! There has only been 3 other drivers that can say that. I’ve worked my whole life to win the championship in some kind of sport and now I can say that I’m a champion!!”
Though the off season hasn’t been all fun and games… actually it has been as Travis has hit the hoops in his spare time. “This off season I’ve just been working a lot at Belfast Variety and during the off season I play a lot of basketball. There’s been two leagues in Belfast, one league in Ellsworth and another in Waterville. So that keeps me in shape.”

HICKORY, NC (March 30) – Preston Peltier took the lead from Trevor Sanborn with 10 laps to go and utilized an aggressive stance on the final two restarts to win the 8th Annual Easter Bunny 150 Saturday night at Hickory Motor Speedway. The win was Peltier’s fourth Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model triumph at Hickory and he becomes the first driver to ever win the Spring Classic more than once.
“For me a win is a win and I don’t care where it is,” said Peltier of his PASS South record tenth career victory. “It feels good to be in victory lane, maybe a week from now it’ll sink in a little bit. I just gotta thank my guys. When we unloaded the car was good and it stayed good all day long.” (more…)
