Clark Steals Fifth White Mountain PASS Win

N. WOODSTOCK, N.H. — On a cool Sunday afternoon in the Pemigewasset Valley of New Hampshire, Thunder filled the foothills to the tune of the Pro All Stars Series Super Late Models.

The headlining PASS Super Late Models were led tp the green flag by Garrett Hall and D.J. Shaw with Joey Doiron and Mike Rowe in tow from the second row.

Hall would take the early lead as Rowe followed on the inside, but Shaw battled back to take control on lap five. Shaw’s reign at the top didn’t last long as Doiron took over on lap seven. After slipping back over multiple green-flag laps, Rowe and Trevor Sanborn had contact at the start/finish line before Sanborn went low and pushed the Maine State Racing Legend up into the backstretch barriers.

On two wheels, Rowe came back down to all four and slid sideways down the backstretch, collecting Andy Shaw and Shawn Knight among others.

Doiron went loose on the restart entry into turn one to give the edge to Shaw before Sanborn stopped in the infield grass to bring out the yellow on lap 38. Shaw edged out Doiron once again on the restart just as the yellow flag would fly once again as Jimmy Renfrew Jr. was stopped high in turn four.

On the restart it was now the Shaw and Johnny Clark show as the two ran door-to-door under multiple laps over several restarts until Clark firmly took over on lap 65.

While battling got the best of Clark and Shaw, a damaged and determined Max Cookson started working his way to the front on the outside groove.

The final caution on lap 110 for a spinning Brian Whalley set up a final 40-lap sprint to the end. Clark beat and banged against Shaw in every corner as the two worked hard for position.

Clark would eventually solidly keep the lead with Shaw falling back on the outside to allow Cookson, Evan Halstrom and Jimmy Renfrew Jr. to chase after Clark, but time ran out. Johnny Clark would take his fifth career White Mountain PASS win with Cookson coming home second and Renfrew rounding out the victory lane podium.

Jason Woodward won the Street Stock Open, Ryan Ripley scored the PASS Modifieds feature and Nick Anderson was victorious in the Asphalt Mini Late Models.Â
