Johnny Fifth at Montmagny
Cassius Clark put it all together in a big way to win Saturdays a Pro All Stars
Series sanctioned All Star Challenge 200 at Quebecs Autodrome Montmagny. The
Farmington Maine speedster won the dash and led all 200 laps in the Autobus la Quebecoise
sponsored event, keeping his E.J. Prescott/DNK/Chapman Trucking Ford in front of
Mike Rowe and Scott Mulkern at the stripe. The top three raced nose-to-tail for much of
the event but Clark never faltered to earn the $5,000.00 payday. The victory was
Clarks first PASS feature win. He becomes the eleventh different 2004 PASS race
winner and joins Ted Christopher, Richie Dearborn and Scott Mulkern on the list of first
time victors this season.
Alexandre Gingras raced home fourth and was the top Canadian in the finishing order. 2004
Pro All Stars Series Champion Johnny Clark rounded out the top five. Completing the top
ten were Richie Dearborn in sixth, Travis Benjamin seventh, Larry Gelinas (piloting
Clinton Teagues 34) eighth, Quebecs Sylvain Lacombe ninth and Nova Scotian
Mike Alexander tenth.
Gingras was fastest in time trials with a lap of 16.637 seconds, followed by Johnny Clark (16.677), Cassius Clark (16.702) Mike Rowe (16.791),
Larry Gelinas (16.883) Ben Rowe,behind the wheel of the Pullen 24x (16.894), Richie
Dearborn (16.935) Mulkern (16.965) and Corey Williams (17.029).
Only one caution flag slowed the 200 lap event that included a half-way break for tires
and service. Among those falling by wayside early were Bill Rodgers (crash damage), Ben
Rowe (rear end) and Corey Williams (engine). |
