Dearborn Ends His Season on a
High Note with WMMP PASS North win
.
Johnny Clark Claims Unprecedented
Fifth PASS North Championship |
Naples ME
–Hollis Maine’s Richie Dearborn got the better of Travis
Benjamin on a late race restart to capture Friday
night’s 150 lap Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North super
late model feature at White Mountain Motorsports Park in
North Woodstock New Hampshire. Travis Benjamin, who had
led from the green flag, held off Cassius Clark to
finish second, .743 seconds behind the winner.
The victory was Dearborn’s first since PASS visited
White Mountain in the fall of 2009 and his fifth in PASS
super late model competition. It was the third time
Dearborn and his Chadwick-BaRoss/Dayton Sand and Gravel
team earned the win in the fall PASS visit to the fast
quarter mile nestled at the foot of Franconia Notch.
Without that late race restart the results could
easily have been different. Benjamin looked like he
might run away from the field, hungry for his first
series win since 2008. Benjamin has been strong in one
of Richard Moody’s first rate rides, and he seemed able
to pull away from the field at will for the night’s
first 130 laps. But Dearborn was on a charge too, taking
second away from Adam Bates on lap 120 and lookimg for a
way to get to Benjamin. But the night’s second caution
flew on lap 132 ,giving Dearborn the shot he needed and
the PASS veteran got the job done when the green flag
flew. At the stripe it was Dearborn, Benjamin, Cassius
Clark, Trevor Sanborn and Ben Rowe first through fifth
under the checkers.
Johnny Clark was in the mix
from the start, charging up to third before rear
suspension issues sent him to the pit area for the night
with just 33 laps in the books. The rare DNF left Clark
21st at the finish but the Farmingdale Maine super late
model super star’s point cushion heading into the season
finale held up.Tthe Clark’s Car Crushing/Port City Race
Cars team earned a third straight PASS northsuper late
model title, their fifth overall. The Championship broke
a deadlock with Ben Rowe for most PASS North titles
earned. Rowe kept the point race close until a DNF of
his own at the PASS 300 took the four time PASS North
titlist out of contention.
Thirteen cars
completed all 150 green flag laps. Two caution flags
slowed the race which took just thirty-eight minutes
from the initial green to the checkers. Heat race wins
went to Johnny Clark, Travis Benjamin and Dustin
Hubbard.
The PASS North super late model season
is in the books, but there’s still plenty of PASS racing
on tap up and down the eastern Seaboard. The PASS South
super late models head for the fabled Hickory Motor
Speedway on Saturday September 25th and both the PASS
South and PASS National titles will be decided on
October 16th when the Mason-Dixon Meltdown premieres at
Newport (TN) Speedway. The PASS Sportsman series
champion will be crowned at Groveton New Hampshire’s
Riverside Speedway on Saturday October 16. |
