NAPLES ME (6/16) All three PASS North racing series are back on track this Sunday June 20 at Unity (ME) Raceway, a favorite stop for the Pro All Stars Series’ drivers and fans.
The speedway is a throwback to an earlier time when race tracks were a little rough around the edges. The covered grandstand from a bygone era remains and when drivers stray off the asphalt they can easily find themselves atop a sand bank or in a trackside ditch. But the racing surface, dips, bumps and all, breeds some of the best side by side racing you’ll find anywhere and hardcore race fans never miss a PASS appearance
