North Woodstock NH (5/27)  -  Cassius Clark made an early outside charge in Saturday nights Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North 150 to capture the lead and score the super late model feature win at White Mountain Motorsports Park. Joey Polewarczyk earned the second spot with defending series champion Johnny Clark third, DJ Shaw fourth and Travis Benjamin fifth.

The win was Clark's first PASS North checker since the 2009 season and the fourteenth of his PASS North career.

Gary Smith and Travis Benjamin led the twenty six car field to the green and it was Benjamin jumping out to the lead with Joey Pole, Derek Ramstrom, Smith and Ben Rowe in tow. Clark was coming from his eighth starting spot and as the field strung out he rambled up the outside groove, putting his Hight Chevrolet out front on lap eighteen.

The field almost made it to half way caution free but, despite two quick yellows, Clark kept Benjamin in his mirror and it was Clark, Benjamin and Pole nose to tail with Ben Rowe, Derek Ramstrom, Shaw and Johnny Clark trying to chase the trio down.

The top two split Kevin Roberge's spinning car on lap ninety and Benjamin took the low side to capture the lead for the subsequent restart, Clark quickly reestablished control when the green flag flew. Benjamin went for a slide in turn one at lap 100, handing second to Ben Rowe; Benjamin rejoined the fray in eighth.

Clark had left the pack behind by lap 115 but the battle for second was fierce. Ben Rowe, Pole, Ramstrom and Johnny Clark were nose to tail and side by side. Pole won that battle as Rowe slid back and Ramstrom was on the move in third and looking for more. Another strong performance by Ramstrom ended short of the checkers when he spun trying to put the bottom move on Pole for second. Ramstrom had to settle for nineteenth.

A green white checker finish gave Pole and Johnny Clark one last shot at the leader but Cassius wouldn't be denied his victory lane celebration.

Five quick cautions slowed the race; thirteen of the twenty six starters finished on the lead lap. Heat race wins went to Gary Smith, Travis Benjamin and Ben Rowe.

All three PASS North touring series are in action next Sunday June 3rd at Groveton New Hampshire's Riverside Speedway. Post time on Sunday is 1:30 PM.  Visit Riverside Speedway on line at www.riversidespeedway.org
