Scarborough, Maine- Bub Bilodeau began his NASCAR Whelan All American Series title defense in the Pro Series division with a win on Saturday night at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway.  Over the Winter, Bilodeau lost his chief rival in Bobby Babb who has stepped away from the seat to help his son as he takes over the #4 Pro Series car.  Enter Maine racing legend Mike Rowe to fill that void and after the 40 lap feature race Saturday night the Bilodeau-Rowe rivalry has been rekindled. Rowe started on the pole with Aaron Ricker to his outside and Bilodeau on his rear bumper in third.  Rowe shot to the lead with Ricker and Bilodeau settling in behind.  Bilodeau tried to move around Ricker on lap 6 but Ricker held off the challenge for the time being.
