With both PASS North and National points on the line, Rowe edged a few  markers  closer to Johnny Clark in their battle for an unprecedented fifth PASS  North  title.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-size: 12pt;\">Alan  Tardiff and Peltier led the field to the green and Peltier quickly  established  himself at the front of the field. Early on it was Peltier, defending  race  winner Derek Ramstrom, Fogleman, Kelly Moore and Tardiff battling for  position  at the front. Ben Rowe and Johnny Clark have both earned PASS North  feature wins  in 2010 and series rules require that they start outside the top ten.The  pair  had to work their way through the field if they were going to contend  and  \u00a0It didn\u2019t take the two long to crack the top five. Rowe made his move  past  Clark on a lap 32 restart and the pair took the battle to the two  southern  invaders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-size: 12pt;\">That  restart was Fogleman\u2019s cue to challenge Peltier for the lead and the  pair  battled tooth and nail lap after lap.Fogleman managed to get the nose  out front  on several occasions before settling back into second. The front four  were  racing nose to tail, putting on the kind of show that only super late  models  can. Rowe made his move on Fogleman with thirteen remaining when  Fogleman kissed  the backstretch wall trying to keep the 48 behind him. Rowe set his  sights on  Peltier and looked high and low for ten laps before he was able to make  his  move\u00a0<span> <\/span>Behind the front two  Peltier and Clark were having a torrid battle for third,. Clark  prevailed on lap  seventy to capture the final spot on the podium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-size: 12pt;\">Several  potential contenders succumbed to mechanical issues. Derek Ramstrom lost  his  brakes and slapped the turn two wall, ending his bid for two straight  PASS wins  at Thompson. Ted Christopher, early front runner Kelly Moore, pole  sitter <span> <\/span>Alan Tardiff <span> <\/span>and Steve Legendre were  all behind the  wall before the half-way mark.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-size: 12pt;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-size: 12pt;\">Eleven  cars completed all seventy-five laps in a race slowed by two cautions.
