Ben Rowe’s the
King of
White Mountain
Patience won out on a short track
Saturday night filled with hard racing
at White Mountain Motorsports Park. Ben
Rowe was able to preserve his equipment
and make a lap 114 outside charge on
Cassius Clark to win the 150 lap Pro All
Stars Series (PASS) feature. The victory
was Rowe’s eighth at the Avery family’s
high banked quarter mile. John Flemming,
Mike Rowe, and Richie Dearborn completed
the top five.
The drop of the green flag set the tone
for the night with the number 8 E.J.
Prescott Ford of Cassius Clark battling
side by side with the Trevor Sanborn’s
Richard Moody and Sons Ford early on.
Sanborn would eventually settle in
behind Clark but a lap 51 restart gave
Sanborn enough momentum on the outside
to steal the lead away from Clark. Clark
reclaimed the top spot on a lap 73
restart with Sanborn, Ben Rowe, Johnny
Clark, Flemming and Derek Ramstrom
giving chase as the race approached
half-way.
Lapped traffic proved to be a challenge
all race long as Clark and Sanborn
resumed their battle. Sanborn’s shot at
the win would end on lap 103 after he
got into the lapped car of Steve Berry.
The move prompted Berry to retaliate,
spinning Sanborn into the front stretch
wall and ending Berry’s night via the
black flag. Sanborn continued on after
repairs to finish twelfth.
The restart placed the four time PASS
champ outside of Clark and Rowe
continued where his teammate Sanborn
left off, racing side by side with Clark
until he made his lap 114 pass stick for
his first victory of 2008. Other big
movers of the night were last week’s Ray
Haskell Ford 125 winner Johnny Clark and
rookie DJ Shaw who both overcame
penalties early in the race to score top
tens.
Johnny Clark, Cassius Clark and Trevor
Sanborn won their respective heat races.

and keep Ben on the lead lap. However the #4 fell a lap down and
Ben
finished in 13th.

Winner of the
2008 51 Award
for Short Track Racing
"Best Appearing Racecar"
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008
"We’re not sure if it is bright Corvette yellow paint, the
vinyl graphics that are made in-house, the candy-apple red
powercoated rollcage and chassis or just the fact it is
always just so polished and clean, but there is something
about Ben Rowe’s Richard Moody Racing #4 Super Late Model
that the fans love.
In fact, they loved it enough to vote it as the best
appearing racecar in the land by an overwhelming margin.
It could also be a matter of exposure. The team won the
championship in PASS North, raced occasionally in PASS South
and ACT Late Models and made trips to open shows like The
Rattler and Speedfest 2007. They also ran one True Value
Modified Racing Series event in 2007 with the same paint
scheme on that groundpounder, which was sold and will be
campaigned by the Greeley’s Garage team in TVMRS this season
for David Pinkham." |

Will Drive
for
Five
PASS North
Super
Late Model
Championships |
 |
NAPLES ME (March 7,
2008) - Its official: Ben Rowe will contend for a fifth Pro All
Stars Series (PASS) North Championship in 2008. The four time PASS
North Super Late Model champ will be shooting for his second
consecutive title with Richard Moody Racing.
Rowe's record is well known to fans of the Pro All Stars Series;
four PASS North championships, 30 plus wins and a top three
finishing average right around 65 percent. Remarkable statistics for
any driver in any series, but especially impressive when you
consider the depth of competition Rowe has faced over the past seven
seasons.
The RMR team has an ambitious 2008 PASS campaign planned. Another
PASS North title chase, a run at the first PASS National Super Late
Model Championship, and as many as five additional PASS South dates
are currently on their schedule.
Rowe and the Moodys seem like a match made in racing heaven. They
enjoy the challenge of tour racing, whether it's a trip to the
Carolinas or Maritime Canada. Richard Moody has a long and
successful history in Maine motorsports, dating back to his
successful pairing with "The Outlaw", Mainer Jeff Stevens. After a
nineteen year hiatus from car ownership, the Moody family came back
to the sport they loved, and their eventual pairing with Rowe has
produced the expected results.
"Rick Moody wants to race against the toughest competition on the
toughest race tracks. He will race anytime, anywhere. This whole
team loves to race, just like I do, so I couldn't be in a better
situation," said Rowe. "By the time we head to Hickory for the
Easter Bunny we'll have three cars ready to go, two of them brand
new. The competition will be tougher than ever, but if we can stay
consistent and get a little racing luck, we should be able to
challenge for both titles."
Says Moody," As a team, our primary focus in 2008 will be Tom
Mayberry’s Pro All Stars Series, and we're looking forward to the
challenge. All of the top teams look like they are coming back in
2008, and, there are some new teams coming on board that will be
contenders for sure. But, we have a great race team and we're
looking forward to seeing how we measure up."
The PASS South season gets underway in two weeks at
Hickory (NC) Motor Speedway with the March 22nd Easter Bunny
150. The Easter Bunny is also round one of the inaugural PASS
National Super Late Model Championship series. PASS North gets
the green on Saturday April 19th with 150 green flag laps at
Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough Maine. |

RMR and Ben
had a tough time at Speedfest 2008.
After posting fourth fastest in qualifying and lining up third
for Friday night's 100 lap SLM North event, the #4n ruptured
the oil filter on a restart on lap 13 and took a hard hit into the wall
with oil on the tires. Ben was not hurt.
With no backup car available, the RMR team did not make the
feature 200 lap Speedfest race. |
