PASS headlines Beech Ridge Saturday night
NAPLES ME (7/16) The Pro All Stars Series returns to Beech Ridge Motor Speedway on Saturday evening July 17 to take a second shot at the rain postponed July 10 racing program.
The fastest full fender race cars in the east are scheduled for 150 green flag laps, and there’s a 40 lap PASS Mod contest on tap. The Speedways’ own Sport Series, Road Runners and Wildcats complete the five division program.
Round number five of the New England Legends Sales & Service Beech Ridge Series was another great race. The points standings were close going into the event, with Bob Weymouth leading last week’s winner Evan Beaulieu by only six points, as both drivers would have to start at the rear due to their top three finishes last week. Also in the field was defending champion, Max Zachem, who was involved in an incident at his last race at Unity, taking him out of contention to win. Combine that with the best drivers that New England has, it was set to be another great race in front of the Thursday night crowd.

Naples ME (4/14/10) Mike Rowe stole the lead from Johnny Clark on a restart with twelve laps to go to capture the Pro ALL Stars Series (PASS) Bastille 200 at Lee (NH) USA Speedway Tuesday night. Clark had to settle for second; Ben Rowe raced under the checkers third. DJ Shaw and Richie Dearborn completed the top five.
Clark looked like he was on his way to PASS North win number four of 2010, setting a blistering pace that left the field in another zip code over the second half of the 200 lap grind. But Mike Rowe was lurking inside the top ten all night long and he turned on the jets with fifty laps to go in an effort to chase down the leader. Still, it looked like his effort would come up one spot short until the final yellow flag of the night flew. The pair let it all hang out on the restart and Rowe took over for good after a little contact between the pair coming out of turn three.

Brad Babb of Windham, ME. has made the move from racing a pro stock at the local short track, to competing in ACT (American Canadian Tour) driving the number 4ME late model. Almost half way through the season Brad, is currently leading the points for 2010 ACT – “Rookie of the Year.”
RPM. How does a touring series compare to the local short track racing?
Babb. The biggest difference is that its hard to get into an ACT race because there are so many good cars, where at a local track you are guaranteed to make the race.
