8th at White Mountain |
With a fast car, another heat win, and a long run in the
lead, White Mountain was looking like a great finish for the #77.
But on the lap 126 restart a competitor rejoined from the pits just
as the green fell and pulled right down in front of the field. After
some solid contact with the left front, Cassius was taken up to the
turn one wall as the other car
tried to get out of the way.
Falling back a bunch of spots, Cassius raced back to 8th at the
checkers. |
|

|
 |
|
15th at Beech Ridge PASS 300 |
The new combo of the #77 and Cassius Clark started off
the PASS 400 Weekend with a heat win for a front row starting
position for the 300 lapper. At the green the #77 was battling Mike
Rowe and DJ Shaw for the lead and looking like the car to beat. But
in lapped traffic, the #77 got squeezed between two cars and took a
hit on the right front. With suspension damage, Cassius started to
fall back. A series of pit stops got the car going better in the
final portion of the race, but two laps had been lost and
the #77
was scored in 15th. |

 |
Welcome
Cassius Clark |
|
|
Hight Motorsports would like to welcome Cassius Clark to
the team. Cassius will be driving the Port City #77 Super Late
Model on September 18th at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in the PASS
300.
|
Cassius has recently posted two excellent second place
finishes in PASS competition in the Dicky Woodman #8
- at Oxford
Plains Speedway on July 23rd and at Thompson Int'l Speedway on July
21st. |
|
 |
 |
|
12th at Oxford |
|
Starting from 9th, Scott had hopes to run to
save the tires for the final stages of the race. But the #77
just never had the handling needed, being loose right from
the start. Scott couldn't hold off faster cars coming
through the pack and scored a 12th place finish. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
14th at Thompson |
|
With a great run in the heat, Scott started on
the pole for the race which was 100 laps this year instead
of the previous 75. However, it all ended in turn one, lap
one when the #26 nudged the #77 into a spin that started
nine cars heading for a cluster at the turn one wall. The
#77 continued on with body damage but engine revs began to
drop as the drive train seemed to be binding. A failed rear
end was found when the #77 retired on lap 49. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
14th at Lee USA |
A steering and/or front end handling problem
slowed the #77 in the battle at Lee. Multiple pit stops to
make adjustments didn't help and Scott wound up in 14th as
the
last car running. |

The Firecracker 150
Saturday - July 2nd |
 |
|
Scott and the #77 were fast again as the PASS
North series travelled to Canaan Fair Speedway in New
Hampshire. Scott raced in the top five, battling Ben Rowe
and Alexander Gingras who scored 1st and 2nd place finishes.
But at the 2/3 mark of the race the left rear tire started
to go down and Scott dropped off the pace, finally spinning
in turn one and going up on top of the Jersey barriers with
the nose of the #77. The frame was OK but the rest of the
nose and radiator area suffered heavy damage. A 17th place
finish was the result. |

The Habitations Dany Legace 150
Sunday - June
26th |
 |
|
4th place run at Chaudiere. From the third
starting spot for the feature, Scott ran in the top pack
most of the race, surging into second at one point. But
contact on the back straight with the #16 at about the 100
lap mark knocked the rear axle out, and the #77 was not
quite as quick as it had been. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
The PASS 200 at Speedway 660
Saturday - June
11th |
 |
|
6th place at 660. After the strong run in the
lead or the top three for the first 100 lap leg of the race,
the #77 faded to 6th in the second segment after the break
for two fresh right side tires. |

 |
The
PASS 150 at Star Speedway
Saturday - May 14th |
 |
5th at Star Speedway
| After starting in 12th, Scott
began a strong and steady climb to the front while
avoiding contact and resulting spins. Richie
Dearborn had led from the green flag but Scott
chased him down and took over the lead on lap 142
and things looked good for the final eight laps to
come. But after a yellow only a couple laps later,
the #77 had Johnny Clark in the #54 on the outside
for a restart. Two laps into the green, going into
turn two, Scott spun around with a flat rear and was
hit both by Clark and the #97 of Joey Pole. After a
pit stop for a new tire, Scott came from the back
through two more yellows and a wreck on the last
corner to earn the 5th place. |

A last minute decision had the Hight Motorsports team head
to the Geary woods near Fredriction, New Brunswick for an open comp
Super Late Model/Pro Stock race on Saturday, August 14th. After
being fast in practice and winning the heat race, the #77 started on
the pole for the Max 1 Advanced Synthetic Pro Stock 150. After a
real strong run the team finished second to Dave O'Blenis in the
#48. Lonnie Sommerville #23 placed third. |
|
8th at RIVERSIDE on 7/31 |
 |
|
|
|
 |
 |
Another race event that started off so well.
Scott took the win the the heat and once again lined up second for
the 150 lap feature. The #77 jumped into the lead at the green but
was soon challenged and passed by the #53 of Bill Rodgers and the
#44 of Trevor Sanborn. Running in third, Scott was pressed
by the
#84 of Scott Mulkern, #98 of Adam Bates, and the #8 of Cassius
Clark.
This group put on some of the hardest fought racing of the
night. At lap 132, running with the #84, the #77 was unfortunately
in the way of a charging Mike Rowe #2 who knocked the #77 off track
instead of waiting to make a clean pass. Rowe was DQ'd for the
action and told to park on pit lane. Scott charged back towards the
front, finally passing the #48 of Ben Rowe for 8th place.
(With
the DQ of the #44 of Trevor Sanborn after tech and a scoring
revision,
the #77 moved from 10h to 8th.) Scott stands 4th in
PASS North Points. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
A good car in the limited practice time available and a win
in heat two over Ben Rowe gave the #77 a second place on the
Bastille 200 starting grid on Tuesday, July 13th. At the checkers
Scott took the lead from pole sitter Derek Ramstrom. Kelley Moore
came up to join the battle. Scott was then racing Gary Smith in the
#75 for third. But a tire started to go down, and as the crew waited
for the #77, the car went into the wall on lap 48. Extensive damage
put Scott out of the race with a finish of 24th. |

Firecracker 150 - Sat. July
3rd -
8th Place |
 |
Adjustments to counteract a push
turned into too much the other way as
Scott fought an
oversteering #77 during the 150 lapper as the track cooled
after dark. Scott hung on to take eighth place at the
checkers after a
start from sixth on the grid. |

Saturday, May 1st - PASS 100 - 13th Place |
 |
After a good day of practice on Friday and a nice start to
Saturday practice,
the handling of the #77 disappeared during the
second practice session. A range of changes resulted in no
improvement. A fourth row start in the heat led to a finish outside
of the top five that transferred to the feature. No luck in
making it into the top three in the conci either. So taking a
provisional was necessary to start the 150 lapper.
Scott had
his work cut out for him coming up from the back of the 31 car grid
but made it into mid-pack where the racing was hard and close. Scott
brought the #77 into pits for adjustments in the final third of the
race but still was running at least a tenth off of the needed lap
time. The #77 was the final car
on the lead lap for a thirteenth
place scoring. |

Looks like there
is an addition to the Hight Motorsports stable:
a Mini Cup car that owner Corey Hight's stepson Josh McKenney will
be racing in the summer of 2010. From the picture it
appears that the owner's son Jackson will be the crew chief. |

Beech Ridge - Sunday, September
13th
 |
|
Pole and 20th at the
PASS 300 |
|
The PASS 400 Weekend started well
for Hight Motorsports with a cruise to the win in Heat #1 and the
Pole staring position for Sunday's 300 lapper after a six hour rain
delay Saturday afternoon moved qualifying into the night.
The first green lasted only about
ten seconds as a back straight pile up brought out an immediate
yellow. On the first restart Scott surged into the lead over Aaron
Ricker. Kelly Moore moved to the front and by lap 50 the top
centenders were Moore,
Ricker, DJ Shaw, Chubbuck, Mike Rowe,
Trevor Sanborn, and Ben Rowe.
As cautions and pit stops shuffled the leaders, Chubbuck took the
top spot away from Moore on a lap 129 restart. As the field
approached lap 200 Chubbuck was in front of Moore by half the front
stretch.
After pitting Scott was
working his way toward the front again when a left front tire went
down. The stop under the green put Scott off the lead lap and ended
any hopes of a good finish. A 20th place was the scored finishing
position. |
