Clark Goes Two-For-Two In White Mountain PASS

July 16, 2023

N. WOODSTOCK, N.H. — Once again, rain showed up to mess around with a great day of racing at White Mountain Motorsports Park on Saturday.

Four touring divisions filled the pit area with the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Super Late Model and Modified divisions making their second trip over the Mountain for the 2023 season alongside the New England Supermodified Series and the debut of the 350 SMAC Tour. 

The PASS Super Late Model 150 came to green under the leadership of D.J. Shaw and Joey Doiron with Garrett Hall keeping on their rear bumper. Doiron would catch the urge on lap nine and jumped to the outside to take on Shaw, stealing the lead in the process.

Meanwhile, Gabe Brown charged up into the top-five and began looking for more before the lap 17 caution saw front-runners Shaw and Hall tangle in turn one. Doiron and Jimmy Renfrew Jr. would restart the show before the calamity of the event saw Andy Shaw slip-slide across turn four and collect a host of drivers to bring out the second caution.

Under clean-up, rains moved in to stall the show for forty-minutes while the track was dried.

Renfrew and Doiron would pick up the field once again under the short-lived return to green as the yellow flag flew once again for a stalled Brown as his drivetrain failed on the restart. As the field stretched out behind them, Renfrew, Johnny Clark and Doiron ran the gambit nose-to-tail at the front of the field with Clark psyching out Renfrew.

After switching lanes a dozen times, Clark finally took charge on the outside to lead lap 58 over Renfrew and spread himself from his competitors out front.

The final caution on lap 128 for a stalled Renfrew in turn four stacked the field one final time but it was Clark who prevailed for his second PASS win-in-a-row at White Mountain Motorsports Park following June’s Father’s Day Special. Doiron took home second with Jeremy Davis staying clean and green all the way through to round out the top-three.

Dan Bowles won the New England Supermodified Series event while Ryan Hewins scored the PASS Modifieds feature. 

The clouds opened up once again following Pro All Stars Series victory lane. With heavy rain and another cell on the way, officials closed the night. White Mountain Motorsports Park officials and 350 SMAC officials are currently working on a return date for the open-wheeled series.
