Wayne Whitten nabs Lee USA PASS Mod finale

Scott Grant is the 2009 PASS Mod champion

 

Wayne Whitten Jr. took off from his front row starting position in Sunday’s Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Mod feature and led all the way to capture his first PASS Mod victory. Jon Brill drove up to challenge Whitten Jr. for the win but it was too little too late and Brill settled for second. Scott McDaniel wrapped up his season with yet another strong run, coming home third.

 

The victory was Whitten’s first under the Pro All Stars Series banner. He joins Andy Shaw (3 wins), Scott McDaniel (2 wins), Dan Somes, Steve Bennett Jr., Gary Norris Jr. and Sulo Burbank in the PASS Mod win column.

 

While Whitten was driving off into the sunset, Bill Dixon and Scott Grant were battling it out for the PASS Mod Championship. Grant enjoyed a ten point advantage heading into the finale and those few extra points came in handy Sunday as Dixon finished the day two spots ahead of Grant in fourth. Neither driver had a great set-up for Lee USA Sunday, but they both survived the battle and Scott Grant came away as the titlist, just a handful of points ahead of Dixon.

 

Grant is the first PASS Mod Champion since the series inaugural 2004 season to capture the crown without a trip to victory lane. (Mark Lucas earned the 2004 title)   Grant’s five top five runs were enough to propel the Waterboro Maine racer to his first Championship.

 

Scott Grant, Carey Martin, Johnny Clark and Ben Rowe will be joined by their fellow racers, family fans and friends at Verillo’s Conference Center in South Portland ME on Friday November 7^th to celebrate their respective series championship.
