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. |

7th at Beech Ridge |
Scarborough ME (June 26) Adam
Bates took over the race lead from Scott Chubbuck just past half way
in Friday night's Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North 150 lap super
late model feature to score his third career series win, his second
at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. The Granite State racer had a car
that could dominate and the talent to take advantage of it in a race
that was short on cautions and featured a 115 lap stretch of green
flag racing. Bates now has two wins and two second place finishes in
the last four PASS races at Beech Ridge dating back to July of 2008.
Johnny Clark did his best to wrestle the win away from Bates. The
pair started one-two after the night's final caution at lap 144 set
up a six lap shoot-out to the checker. Clark held his ground on the
outside and the lead pair crossed the stripe on lap 145 in a dead
heat. But Bates edged ahead on the bottom and slowly increased his
margin of victory to .462 seconds over the three time series champ.
Clark settled for a solid second and Richie Dearborn came out on top
of a three wide tussle with Kelly Moore and Scott Mulkern to finish
third. Moore, who led from the pole through lap 82, had to settle
for fourth. Donnie Whitten earned his first top five of 2009, and
Scott Mulkern had a successful return to PASS racing with a sixth
place run.
Scott Chubbuck faded to seventh after running
at the front for most of the night, and Chris Staples, who
captured his first Pro All Stars super late model win at Beech Ridge
earlier in the season had to settle for eighth this time around. Ben
Rowe recovered from a multi-car wreck on lap 143 to salvage a ninth
place finish and Derek Ramstrom rounded out the top ten.
Nine cars completed the full distance. Heat
Race wins went to Kelly Moore, Bates, and Scott Chubbuck.
Bates set the fastest race lap at 15.316 seconds. Five caution
periods slowed the race pace. |

2nd Place Finish at
Unity! |
The Hight Motorsports team returned
to Unity Raceway this past Saturday with the Pro All Stars Series.
The team’s high hopes for a great day quickly turned into a roller
coaster ride. The Impala SS was dialed in by the middle of the
practice sessions. However, in the final practice session, Scott
noticed the clutch starting to slip running down the straight-aways.
With only a short amount of time before the heat race, the team
decided to risk it in the heat and change the clutch between the
heat and the feature if it continued to slip.
Scott started 4th in the second heat and quickly moved into the 2nd
position. He was gaining on the leader until about lap 5, when the
handling suddenly went away. Scott fought to keep the car under
control the final laps and was able to hold on to 2nd place. He came
over the radio saying something was broken in the rear end. It was
an unwelcomed reminder of last year’s heartbreak when an axel broke
while leading late in the Long John 100 lapper.
Once in the pits, the crew quickly spotted a broken panhard bar, and
began repairing it. Meanwhile, Scott also gave the bad news that the
clutch was getting worse; it would need to be replaced before the
feature. Thanks to great team work, help from Johnny Clark’s crew
and a couple of extra minutes from PASS officials, the Hight
Chevrolet car made it to the starting grid just as the cars rolled
onto the race track.
Scott started the race 4th and patiently worked his way up to 2nd.
Several other competitors were also on their way to the front. Scott
feel back to 5th place around lap 40 and rode for the next 70 laps
until leaders, Ben Rowe and Travis Benjamen came together, sending
them both to the back. Over the next 30 laps and a couple of
restarts, Scott treated the fans to a great battle with Randy Turner
and Johnny Clark. After several tries he was able to keep Randy
Turner behind him, but couldn’t catch Johnny and had to settle for a
2nd place trophy. It was quite an accomplishment for the team
considering the condition the car was in after the heat race.

Beech Ridge Motor Speedway - Sat. May 2nd. |

 |
|
11th at Beech Ridge |
The 150 lapper at
Beech Ridge on May 2nd, was a tough race event for
Hight Motorsports. Practice had gone well and the #77 was very fast.
But the draw for the heats put Scott in the back. Passing was tough
and the #77 got bumped in the side and the back. Then in a final lap
miscue, Scott though he had taken the checked and backed off on the
white flap lap.
That put the #77 first in one of the two consis and then deep in the
field for the feature. Stuck with groups of four cars that were
blocking forward progress,
Scott struggled in mid pack. A stop in the pits for adjustments at
about 100 laps helped a bit, and Scott worked his way up to an 11th
place finish.
With two races posted for 2009, Scott stands sixth in the tight
points battle: Cassius Clark 436, Johnny 435, Chris Staples 435,
Adam Bates 433, Derek Ramstrom 432, Scott 420, and Ben Rowe 415. |

PASS
NAPA 150 at Speedway 95 |
Naples ME (April
14) The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North season kicks off Sunday
April 19th at Speedway 95 in Hermon Maine with the NAPA 150 and fans
of the fastest full fender short track series in the east are asking
themselves, “can Ben Rowe Rowe score three PASS super late model
wins in a row and lead the points in all three title chases?”
It will be no easy task, but the four time PASS North champion is
definitely on an early season roll. With PASS South wins at Dillon
(SC) Motor Speedway and Hickory (NC) Motor Speedway already under
his belt, Rowe leads both the PASS South and National Championship
title chases. A win in the NAPA 150 and a good run in his qualifying
race could put Rowe on top of the North Series points as well, a
feat never accomplished since PASS started the South super late
model series in 2006.
Rowe will have his hands full with a strong field of super late
models that will include defending PASS North champ Johnny Clark,
2008 race winners Travis Benjamin, Adam Bates, Derek Ramstrom and
2008 PASS Rookie of the Year D.J. Shaw, Scott Chubbuck, Kelly Moore
and a host of new talent including Steve Legendre and John Dabrowski.
If licensed drivers are any indication, the PASS Sportsman and Mod
divisions should see their ranks grow in 2009. Many of the top guns
in the Sportsman class are back on board for 2009, including Steve
Bennett Sr., 2008 Rookie of the Year Kyle Hart, Mike Landry, Duane
Seekins, Shane Tatro and many more. New names and veterans dot the
Mod list, including Greg Ellis, Scott McDaniel, Steve Bennett Jr.
and Dan Somes. The Mods “move up” to 10 inch tires this season, and
the quick, economical class should be even more exciting in 2009.
