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

Eddie MacDonald matched his two best finishes in the K & N Pro Series East
this season with a seventh place run in the Grimm Construction Chevy in the
K & N 100. After starting 13th on the grid for the 66 lap event over the
road course at Lime Rock, MacDonald moved steadily ahead to post his fourth
top ten finish.
“We always qualify 13th,” joked MacDonald. “It doesn’t seem to matter what
we do, we qualify 13th, so we know where we will start and go from there.
The car was really good during the race and we were able to drive it into
the top ten quickly and stay there. It got a little tight in the turns but
it was okay. We were a little too aggressive with the brakes when we set the
car up in the shop and I kept locking them up in the turns. Eventually it
ended up costing a couple of spots at the end but over5all we had a good
day.”
