Maine Alliance Rules Amendment

last updated on 8/31/2010

Do to a question of the rules regarding the Late Model division centered engine, transmission, and rear end rule. The Maine Racing Alliance has decided to suspend that rule due to the fact there is no clarity on where the measurements are to be taken from. The Maine Racing Alliance will not disqualify anyone who is not in compliance of this rule for the remainder of the 2010 season. The 56% left side weight percentage rule would offset any advantage one would gain by not being perfectly centered and we find this to be in the best interest of all competitors do to the fact some manufactured clips do not comply with this rule.

PASS North win number four for Johnny Clark

last updated on 8/23/2010

Pro All Stars Series point leader Johnny Clark got back to his winning ways Saturday night, claiming his fourth PASS super late model win of 2010 at Caribou Maine’s Spud Speedway. The defending series champ topped Trevor Sanborn and Scott Chubbuck to earn the victory. Clark took over the lead on lap 25 after starting twelfth on the grid and kept his Clark’s Car Crushing Chevrolet out front to the checkers Gary Drew posted his best finish since taking on the majority of the PASS North schedule with a fourth place result; Ben Rowe completed the top five. The win was Clark’s first since June when the Farmingdale Maine hot shoe racked up three in a row. While July was good to Clark with three top three results paired with a fifth and seventh, title nemesis Ben Rowe scored two wins and four top fives in the busy month of racing. Rowe’s only black mark in the five race stretch came at Beech Ridge where he finished eleventh. Clark’s win comes at just the right time for the four time champion and his team. Prior to the super late model series’ first visit to Spud, the points gap between Clark and Rowe had narrowed to ten markers, and the championship momentum looked like it was on Rowe’s side. Now Clark will carry the momentum to Scarborough Maine’s Beech Ridge Motor Speedway on September 11 and 12 for the sixth annual PASS 400 Weekend, round four of the PASS National Championship Series and the biggest race of the year for Northeast super late model racers.Unofficial Results – Pro All Stars Series super late model 150 – Spud Speedway, Caribou Maine – 8/21/2010 1 54 Johnny Clark 2 44 Trevor Sanborn 3 77 Scott Chubbuck 4 71 Gary Drew 5 48 Ben Rowe 6 7 Donnie Whitten 7 85 Nick Ribbe 8 1 7A Scott Alexander 9 28 Kirk Thibeau 10 98 Adam Bates 11 1 Randy Turner 12 38 Andy Marino 13 75 Gary Smith 14 8 Cassius Clark 15 17 Travis Benjamin 16 11 Sterling Marlin DNS 73 Joey Doiron
