PASS Champ Johnny Clark  finished 2nd to Concord ace and  Big 10 Series champion Freddie Query in the Asphalt World Championships at Concord (NC)
Motorsports Park
on Sunday, November 21st. Johnny had been right on Freddie's bumper with 30 to go when the #54's rear end catch tank started to dump fluid and made the going slippery. Storming thru the dogleg, Johnny was pulling big revs at the end of the straights out of a super new motor from Butler and MacMaster.
 
Ted Christopher nailed down third in Clinton Teague's  #34 PASS car.

Mike Rowe in the SP2 #24 tangled with a spinning lapped car and was out.

Talent, Teamwork & Consistency:
Johnny Clark is 2004 Pro All Stars Series Champion

Johnny Clark drove one of the toughest races of his career Saturday at Thompson International Speedway, staying out of trouble and running a clean race to record a ninth place finish in the PASS Octoberfest 100. On any other night a ninth place run would be less than satisfying for a team that’s led the series with four victories and twelve top five finishes in the fifteen races that made up the 2004 Pro All Stars Championship chase. But Saturday’s ninth place run clinched the 2004 Pro All Stars Series Championship for the young man from Farmingdale Maine, capping a great season for Clark’s family-focused race team.

There’s never been a question that Clark has the talent to get the job done. He was fast from the start when he got his first taste of PASS competition in 2001. Injury cut short his first PASS season but Clark came back in 2002 with a vengeance, earning the PASS/Northern Race Tires Rookie of the Year award with a solid string of top ten finishes on his way to fourth in the final standings. 2003 saw Clark and his team visit victory lane for the first time, scoring a popular win in a season that saw eventual champion Ben Rowe dominate the podium. Clark finished second to Rowe in the title run, and looked like he might be ready for a shot at the championship. He’d competed on all the race tracks and had assembled all the necessary components – equipment, crew and sponsors – to run with the best. But could Clark and his team handle the pressure of a championship campaign?

The answer was a resounding yes. Clark came out strong at the first PASS race of the season and never let up. Throughout the year he battled back when Ben Rowe would cut his point leads to a razor-thin margin, winning races when it counted and recording solid finishes when a win wasn’t in the cards. Brother Bobby kept making the right calls and his entire team performed their roles almost flawlessly

Clark’s first victory of 2004 came at Canaan Fair Speedway and he backed that one up with a $25,000.00 win in his sponsor’s own DNK Select 250 at Unity Raceway, after a great call by to pit for an adjustment late in the race. Clark was on unfamiliar turf at Riverside (NH) Speedway but once again he and his team visited victory lane, then headed north to Atlantic Canada to claim the prestigious Atlantic Car 250 at Scotia Speedworld. In a season that saw ten different drivers visit PASS victory lane, Clark still stood out.

Clark’s championship campaign was sponsored by DNK Select Used Cars, Clark’s Cars and Parts, Clark Graphics, AutoDealer Magazine and JT Race Cars.

Congratulations to Johnny Clark and all the men and women that did their jobs so well – you’re the 2004 Pro All Stars Series Champions!

Donnie Whitten is PASS Rookie of the Year

Touring series racing is a tough business when you’re not accustomed to traveling to a new speedway every week, learning the track and putting together a competitive set-up with limited practice. After the race there’s little time to prepare before your team is on the road to the next stop. That’s what a first time Pro All Stars Series competitor faces throughout the tough fifteen race schedule and Biddeford Maine’s Donnie Whitten outshone all the rest in 2004 to earn the PASS/Northern Race Tires Rookie of the Year title.

Whitten had seen success on a very limited schedule in past Pro All Stars Series seasons and ended his 2003 campaign on a strong note, running a steady and clean race in the PASS-sanctioned DNK Select Big Dawg Challenge to record a remarkable fourth place finish. The off-season brought the added support that the Whitten team needed when they joined forces with the Moody Family, who’s Richard Moody and Sons Construction logo has graced winning race cars for many years. With a new race car in the stable and Whitten’s old reliable ride there when needed, the team set out to become touring racers.

Whitten’s season had its ups and downs, as all rookie campaigns do. But the Whitten/Moody family merger showed steady improvement all season long, including a late season run of four consecutive top ten finishes that sealed the rookie title. Competing in thirteen of the Pro All Stars fifteen scheduled events The 83 team recorded five top ten and eleven top twenty finishes, with an eighth place run at Speedway 95 topping the list. Whitten finished the season twelfth in the final PASS point standings.

Swanzey New Hampshire’s Todd Patnode finished second in the standings, followed by Corey Williams (Boothbay ME) third, Chris Ross (Malta, NY) fourth and Lianne Lombardi (Manchester CT) fifth. Whitten joins Richie Dearborn (2001), Johnny Clark (2002) and Travis Kheil (2003) on the elite list of PASS rookie title winners.

2004 PASS/Northern Race Tires Rookie of the Year Donnie Whitten and 2004 Series Champion Johnny Clark will be honored at the Pro All Stars Series Banquet of Champions on Saturday November 13th at Verillo’s Restaurant in Portland Maine.

PASS Sanctions Mod Division

PASS MODS DIVISION WEB SECTION HERE

Pro All Stars Series President Tom Mayberry has announced that the Pro All Stars Series will sanction as many as eleven events for the newly created “PASS Mod” division in 2004.

The open wheel class will make it’s touring debut at White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock New Hampshire on Saturday April 17th, joining the PASS Pro Stocks for the D-J Equipment 150. The PASS Mods will share the spotlight at four additional Pro All Stars Series events in 2004: Sunday April 25th and Saturday August 21st at Speedway 95 in Hermon Maine; Sunday May 30th at Canaan Fair Speedway in Canaan New Hampshire and Sunday August 7th at Riverside Speedway in Groveton New Hampshire. In addition, the PASS Mods will be featured at Unity Raceway on May 9th, June 19th, July 10th, August 14th and October 16th. One additional date is currently being negotiated.

According to Mayberry, “I’m pleased that we’ve been able to work out a basic touring schedule for the PASS Mods. These are the same open wheel racers that made their debut at Wiscasset Raceway in 2003 and the competition was close and exciting. Our hope is to showcase this division in Maine and New Hampshire, keeping them close to their current home base in Maine. It’s a great opportunity for drivers who would prefer to race a lighter open wheel car to get out and compete on a number of different speedways. There are currently eighteen of these cars built and it’s our belief that a solid schedule and stable rules will encourage more teams to build them. I’d like to thank John Crawford of Unity Raceway and Dale Cullivan, Ed Beckwith, Bob Taylor and Chubby Howe who represented the modified teams in a cooperative effort to make this series a reality ”

Scott Reed will oversee all PASS Mod events with assistance from Bruce McMahon. Direct questions to Reed at (207) 625-3230 between the hours of 6:30 and 8:30 PM.

In conjunction with their newest dealer Northern Race Tires, the Oakville Connecticut manufacturer will present three product certificates valued at $85.00, $50.00 and $30.00 respectively in a random drawing of qualified race cars at each of the sixteen 2004 Pro All Stars Series races. These certificates may be redeemed at Northern Race Tires toward the purchase of Independent Racing Wheels. In order to qualify for this program, an Independent Racing Wheel decal must be displayed on both front fenders of the racecar.

Fuel samples are taken by the Pro All Stars Series technical inspection team at each event to insure compliance with the program.

“We have built a strong relationship with New England Racing Fuel over the past three seasons,” says series President Tom Mayberry,” and I’d like to thank Charlie and John Holland for their ongoing support of the Pro All Stars Series. They’ve gone the extra mile to help us establish and implement the spec fuel program, and all of our PASS competitors have benefited from their participation in our series.”
