FREDERICTON, NB - Saturday June 11th under the lights, The Pro All Star Series (PASS) will make their return to Speedway 660 for 200 laps of action packed excitement. This is a chance for fans to see some of the best drivers in the Northeast go toe to toe in the Geary woods. The event will be the Pro All Star Series only Atlantic Canadian stop on their 2011 schedule.
Speedway 660 has a great schedule of events for 2011, but the PASS 200 is right up there with SPEEDWEEKEND’s Auto Value 250. In terms of talent, excitement and drama the Pro All Star Series has it all. Johnny Clark will try to continue his string of dominating performances at Speedway 660. You’ll remember that Clark won both the PASS 200 and the Auto Value 250 last season.
This is the third PASS North event of the year. Johnny Clark won the season opener at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway, down in Maine and Derek Ramstrom took top spot at STAR Speedway in New Hampshire. A May 21st race at White Mountain Motorsports Park was rained out and will be rescheduled for later this summer.
Lonnie Sommerville, a two time Auto Value 250 winner, who is running full time on the PASS tour this year, finished fourth in both races. Sommerville will look to improve that result this weekend on his home track.
Other drivers expected to make the trip to Speedway 660 for the Pro All Star Series 200 include, multi time PASS North Champion Ben Rowe of Turner, Maine, Cassius Clark from Farmington, Maine, and Belfast, Maine’s Travis Benjamin. Also expected to be there is 2006 Auto Value 250 Champion, Scott Chubbuck. As well, we will see some familiar faces like Kirk Thibeau of Presque Isle, Maine. Kirk has had a lot of success throughout the years competing at Speedway 660 as was the winner of the inaugural Auto Value 250 back in 2001.
All these guys as well as legendary Maine driver Mike Rowe, Ritchie Dearborn, Gary Smith, Scott Alexander, John Dabrowski, and Kyle Dessouza all the way from Massachusetts. In addition fans will see several Canadian drivers including local standout Matt Harris from the weekly Oleary Auto Group Pro Stock Division at Speedway 660, local Geary boy Matt Matheson who is a PASS North Rookie of the year entry. Other Canadian drivers expected are but not confirmed at this time.
Race fans will get to see a full card of racing including regular points racing in the RV World Street Stock, and Martin’s Home Heating Sportsman divisions as well as 200 laps of pure pro stock power.
