Chris Staples has seen success in nearly every Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North division; he\u2019s a two time Mod champ, he\u2019s raced up front in the now dormant Outlaw division, and he has a Beech Ridge super late model win to his credit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Saturday Staples returned to Beech Ridge one year after his first super late model victory, but this time he was back behind the wheel of his PASS Mod. After a year\u2019s hiatus from the PASS Mod ranks, Staples returned to victory lane in the open wheel series lid lifter at the Scarborough Maine speed plant. Staples now has twelve wins in the fast, fun and affordable series.

Wayne Whitten Jr. charged through the field for second and John Brill started his season off right with a third place finish. Early leader Greg Ellis settled for fourth; Bill Dixon, Andy Shaw, Kevin Douglas, Scott McDaniel Sumner Sessions and Wanderson Oliviera claimed fifth through tenth.<\/span><\/p>\n

A ten minute red flag for an incident that saw Ryan Morgan park his mod atop Andy Shaw ride was the only flag to slow the 40 lap feature. Shaw raced back to sixth at the checkers but the lack of caution flags hindered his forward progress. <\/span>The entry list featured several teams making their PASS Mod debut including <\/span>Kevin Douglas <\/span>in seventh and Alan Wilson, who shook the gremlins out of his new ride to finish eleventh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shaw and Greg Ellis claimed heat race victories.<\/span><\/p>\n

25 cars lined up for the first 75 lap PASS Sportsman feature of 2010. 2009 series champ Carey Martin took off from the pole to lead early on with series regulars Clyde Hennessey, Shane Tatro and Dan Mckeage hot on his heels. PASS newcomer Scott Dorr had his sharp new sportsman in the mix early, but contact with Craig Smith sent Dorr spinning. Clyde Hennessey took a turn up front until Shane Tatro powered on by for the lead. Tatro had his problems on a lap 63 restart and went for a spin, handing the lead to Hennessey with Dan Mckeage now second and Martin third. Mike Landry was all the way up to fourth after an early race tangle that sent him to the back of the pack.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mckeage got the best of Hennessey on the next restart and Martin made his move under Hennessey on lap 65 to claim second. Three laps later Mckeage and Martin were in a dead heat at the finish line. <\/span>Martin claimed the lead for good one lap later and Landry snatched the second spot away from Hennessey. Mckeage slipped back to fourth at the stripe and ageless Steve Bennett Sr. completed the top five.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was Martin\u2019s second visit to Beech Ridge victory lane in as many races, and his fourth win in the PASS Sportsman series .Martin and Dorr each earned a heat race win.<\/span><\/p>\n
