| Johnny Clark Conquers White
Mountain |
(Naples ME 5/24/10)
Johnny Clark charged from deep in the field and
made his way past race leader Richie Dearborn on
lap 111 to capture the win in Saturday night’s
Pro All Stars Series 150 at North Woodstock New
Hampshire’s White Mountain Motorsports Park. The
defending series champion started the event in
17th and did a masterful job of working his way
to the front without much help from the caution
flag. It was Clark’s first ever win at White
Mountain, a track that he has tried to conquer
for twelve seasons.
Louie
Mechalides made a successful return to PASS with
a second place run and early leader Trevor
Sanborn had to settle for third. Mike and Ben
Rowe were fourth and fifth respectively.
It looked
like series veteran Richie Dearborn might pick
up where he left off last fall at White
Mountain, the site of his last PASS victory.
Dearborn snatched the lead from pole sitter
Randy Turner on lap two and looked comfortable
out in front for over fifty laps until Trevor
Sanborn charged to the lead. Sanborn led at the
half way mark with Dearborn in close pursuit,
but Johnny Clark was already lurking in third
after a hard charge up the outside to get in
contention. Mechalides was riding in fourth with
Ben Rowe fifth.
Dearborn
reclaimed the lead from Sanborn on lap ninety
after a little short track bump and run, and
looked like he would build a lead once again.
The races’ second caution at lap 110 would prove
to be the deciding factor; Clark was up to
second and it was clear that the front row was
about to battle for the win. When the green flew
Clark held a slight advantage over Dearborn and
the pair got together in turn three on the next
lap. Both drivers recovered but the contact led
to an apparent flat tire for Dearborn, and his
chance for victory was spoiled. After losing a
lap Dearborn took his mount to the pits on lap
120.
Clark was in
command to the checkers, leading Mechalides
across the line with a one second advantage to
record his first win of 2010, his first ever at
White Mountain, and his 20th visit to PASS North
victory lane.
Two cautions
slowed the race, which took just thirty nine
minutes to complete. Thirteen cars completed all
150 laps. Thirty four cars attempted to qualify
for the twenty eight car field. Heat race
winners were Randy Turner, Mike Rowe and Richie
Dearborn. Derek Ramstrom and Cassius Clark won
the last chance qualifiers.
PASS North
is off to Frederickton New Brunswick Canada for
200 laps at Speedway 660.on June 12th. Visit the
