PASS PR RACE REPORT
-- Johnny Clark of Farmingdale broke a season-long dry spell on the AIM Recycling USA Pro All Stars Series North Super Late Model circuit on Sunday, powering his way to an impressive victory over a fast-closing Mike Rowe in the Southern Maine Chrysler Jeep Dodge 300 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough.

For Clark, a six-time PASS North series champion, it was a record-setting fourth triumph in the 300-lap annual September classic at Southern Maine's stock car racing showcase. Though he'd won a 50-lap Budweiser Championship Series race this summer at Oxford Plains Speedway, success on the tour that he was the all-time kingpin on had been non-existent.

While suffering through an exceptionally disappointing campaign in the PASS North SLM ranks, Clark's woes were further compounded by a work accident that saw him break a shoulder and foot just five weeks before the Beech Ridge score.

"I felt pretty good in the car," said Clark in victory lane. "We finished second to Cassius (Clark, no relation) in New Brunswick, and frankly he had us covered today and if he didn't have problems with the car we would have been second to him today."

The 50-lap victory at Oxford helped turn the season around for the six-time PASS North SLM king. It came during the first-ever voluntarily hiatus Clark took from the series since its inception. He did miss a few races due to a broken wrist back in 2001, but stepping back after performances he admits were embarrassing was painful.

But throwing clichés out like "it ain't over until it's over" wouldn't do this race justice.

Mike Rowe of Turner all but clinched the 2015 AIM Recycling USA Pro All Stars Series North Super Late Model Championship with a second-place finish at Beech Ridge. Rowe, now 65 years-old and already enshrined in the Maine Racing Hall of Fame, extended his advantage atop the season-long rankings in his first season aboard the Petit Motorsports #7.

Rowe got a lap down during the 300 but, after a Lucky Dog free pass and a little fresh rubber, things were almost as good as they could be for the legendary racer from Turner.

Cassius Clark crossed the finish line in fourth position after circumstances seemingly conspired to keep the Rollie MacDonald-owned car from victory lane. Clark, of Farmington, dominated the early stages of the race, and though obviously weak on restarts, the King 13 usually reclaimed the lead a few laps later.

Clark and the #13 team were forced to pit as the laps wound down, due to what appeared to be a loose fueling hose issue, and Johnny Clark went on to claim victory over a fast-closing Mike Rowe. Joey Doiron of Berwick claimed third-place hardware, battling back into a trophy position after being a lap down at one point during the marathon grind.

It took a remarkable late charge from the back of the field for Cassius Clark to post a fourth-place finish. Kelly Moore of Scarborough raced from 15th staring position into trophy contention for most of the day before crossing under the checkered flag in fifth position.

Speedway 660 Race Report
- - Thirty-one cars started Atlantic Canada’s biggest race of the year. Johnny Clark, a two-time winner of the 250, rallied late in the race and made a strong run to the front but had to settle for second place behind Cassius Clark in the King #13.

“Every time there was a caution we took our car in the pits and my team did everything possible to make the car better and that’s why we finished second” said Johnny Clark, from Hallowell, Maine. “Cassius was on top of his game tonight and we had nothing for him, but we’re still pleased to come back to 660 and get a great finish.”
