Unity ME (May 16) Johnny Clark wrestled the lead away from Randy Turner on a lap 111 restart and held the point for the final 39 laps to capture the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North super late model Unity 150 at Unity(ME) Raceway. Scott Chubbuck hung tough to come home second with local super late model ace Randy Turner third. Kelly Moore and DJ Shaw completed the top five.

Travis Benjamin and Scott Alexander made up the front row. Benjamin grabbed the early lead but gave it up to Chubbuck at lap 35. Clark charged to the front early from his 11^th place starting position and took the lead on lap 38. The laps were clicking away rapidly with a single caution marring the race at the half way mark. It was Johnny Clark out front with Ben Rowe second, Travis Benjamin third, Turner fourth and Chubbuck riding fifth. Benjamin decided it was time to go on lap 105, and the former Unity regular retook the lead. Rowe and Turner also got by Clark, and Rowe immediately tried Benjamin on the bottom. The turn four bumps on the tough old speedway sent Rowe up the track and the pair banged wheels. Benjamin took a ride off of turn four and Rowe was sent to the back of the field for his part in the incident. The pair would restart in 14^th and 15^th respectively.

So the front of the field was shuffled as Turner inherited the lead with Johnny Clark to his outside and Scott Chubbuck right behind him. Billy Penfold sat in fourth with Adam Bates fifth. Clark took advantage of his outside row starting spot to get the jump on Turner and retake the point. Turner, and later Chubbuck, both challenged the reigning PASS super late model champ prevailed for his second win of the young PASS North season.

Cassius Clark led the PASS North super late model point standings after the season’s first two events, but mechanical issues put him out of the show at lap 58. Saturday’s heat races went to Travis Benjamin, Scott Alexander, and Bill Penfold. Fourteen cars completed all 150 green flag laps; four cautions slowed the event, which took one hour to complete.

The PASS road show moves on to White Mountain Motorsports Park Saturday May 23rd. The PASS super late models will be joined by White Mountain’s weekly racing divisions for an opening day spectacular at the North Woodstock NH oval. Racing gets underway at 4:00 sharp.

Unity ME (May 16) The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Mod and Sportsman series made the trip to Unity Raceway after a one year hiatus, and for Andy Shaw (Mod) and Shane Tatro (Sportsman) it was a triumphant return to Maine’s toughest oval.

Shaw nabbed his first PASS Mod win of 2009 over Jerry Harrison and Scott Grant. Shaw charged to the lead from his seventh place starting spot on lap six, overhauling Bill Dixon for the point. Shaw had the advantage over Harrison, Dixon, Scott Grant and Steve Bennett Jr. at the half way mark but the 66 slipped up the speedway coming off turn two one lap later and Harrison dove low to take over the lead. The pair started side by side on a lap 21 restart, and five laps later Shaw worked his way around Harrison to retake the lead. At the checker it was Shaw by four car lengths. Scott McDaniel and Steve Bennett Jr. each scored heat race wins

Shane Tatro’s first PASS Sportsman win wasn’t a “gimme” by any means. Tatro started ninth on the field and worked his way to the front as Mike Landry, Dan McKeage and Carey Martin waged a war at the front of the field. McKeage and Landry ran side by side lap after lap; McKeage had the better of Landry off turn two but Landry would draw even at the start/finish line.

Meanwhile, Tatro had worked his way into the top three, and tried to challenge McKeage for the lead, but he was denied. It looked like McKeage was on his way t his second win of 2009 but Tatro would get one last shot at him when Kyle Hart spun, setting up a green/white/checker finish.

It was Tatro outside of McKeage, and the preferred outside groove gave Tatro the advantage he needed to capture the checkers. McKeage ran second, with Martin third, Dan Hennessey fourth and Mike Landry fifth. Landry and McKeage checkered the Sportsman heat races.

The PASS Mods head for Lee USA Speedway for the first of several 2009 appearances on Friday June 5th. The Sportsman series is back on track at Unity Raceway for a special NAPA –sponsored 2 for 1 event.
