Mike Rowe wins D.J. Equipment 300 for 2nd time

For the 2nd time in 3 tries, Mike Rowe won the D.J. Equipment 300 for the PASS North Series.

Rowe capitalized on track position to dominate the final 2/3 of the event at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway on Sunday, and in the process he shaved his deficit atop the series standings to just 19 points. Ben Rowe, the 3-time series champ, remains the leader with 2 races to go.

Alan Wilson finished 2nd, with Derek Ramstrom, Cassius Clark and Trevor Sanborn rounding out the top-5.

Rowe has won virtually everything there is to win in Maine racing -- but he's still in search of PASS North Series title No. 1.

"I don't know if I can catch Benji, but as long as it's one of us, it doesn't matter to me," Rowe said. "If he beats us, he beats us.

"I won a lawnmower race the other night in Saco, and I retired right after. Maybe I'll stick to (PASS racing) a little longer."
