Rowe, Goodson capture PASS South Lid Lifters

Dillon, SC (March 22)   Turner Maine’s Ben Rowe and his team  made the long tow to Dillon Motor Speedway worth their while Saturday afternoon as Rowe set fast time and   won the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Carolina Clash for super late models .  Rowe started fifth after the top ten time trialers re- drew for starting positions, and the four time PASS North champion quickly powered his way to the front.  Rowe took the lead from 2008 PASS South champ Alex Haase on lap twenty-two and despite the best efforts of Justin Wakefield on every double file restart,  Rowe cruised to a convincing victory. Wakefield had to settle for second and young Ryan Blaney came from the back of the field to finish third.  Jeff Fultz and Spencer Wauters rounded out the top five.

The South Carolina Clash marked the inaugural appearance of the PASS Late Model Trucks, and Hal Goodson goes in the record book as the first race winner in the new touring series. Grant Davidson chased Goodson to the checkers with Joe Heigl third.

PASS South takes a break until Saturday April 11^th when the series makes the first of three 2009 visits to Hickory Motor Speedway for the fourth annual Easter Bunny 150. The Easter Bunny is now round one of the 2009 PASS National Championship series, so a big field of competitors from the maritime provinces of Canada, the northeast and the south are expected. A Leavitt Racing Components super late model chassis and a complete Quarter Master bell housing/clutch package await the winner of the four race series.
