PASS Race 6 - Forbes Chev-Olds 200
Scotia Speedworld - Halifax, Nova Scotia

 

The Forbes Chev-Olds 200 was threatened by rain for the entire day, but the weather held and the race ran full distance. Johnny recorded a fifth fastest lap in the time trials and then drew outside pole for the Dash. After a great battle with Ben Rowe, Johnny finished second and started on the outside pole of the feature.

The 200 saw fast and clean racing and almost no major car damage. Johnny ran with the lead pack in the first portion of the race. On lap 73, the #54 pitted for four fresh tires with about half of the lead cars. Back on track Johnny set to move back to the front but just wasn't hooked up well enough to challenge for the win (a condition echoed by several other competitors).
The #54 moved up to sixth and settled in for the steady green flag racing that saw the 200 laps completed in 66 minutes.

The final placing of sixth leaves Johnny still in the PASS points standings lead but the margin is reduced by 10 markers to 18.
