After several reports to the contrary, Steve Berry will be allowed to compete in PASS North Series events for the remainder of 2007.Berry's car owner, Tom Mason, confronted D.J. Equipment 300 winner Mike Rowe in victory lane on Sunday, feeling as though Rowe had cost Berry a chance at winning the event. Rumors swirled that Mason had done everything from throw water at Rowe to throw a punch, and that he was no longer welcome as a car owner with PASS.
Alan Berry, crew chief for Steve Berry, said nothing like that happened, only that Mason had, indeed, voiced displeasure in victory lane.
"It's all sorted out now," Alan Berry said on Wednesday.
Rowe and Berry made contact while racing for the lead with 20 laps remaining in the 300. Berry suffered a flat tire in the incident and stopped on the track on lap 282 to bring out the race's 14th caution flag.
The team is expected to close out the season with races at All-Star Speedway (Oct. 6) and White Mountain Motorsports Park (Oct. 14.). Steven Berry was 9th in the PASS North standings entering last weekend, having only missed 2 races in Nova Scotia.
Mason also owns the car of PASS South Series competitor Corey Williams. That series races at Hickory Motor Speedway this weekend, and the Maine-based teams of drivers Cassius Clark and Trevor Sanborn are expected to make the trip down.

Thats good news and I'm glad that Mayberry reconsidered and realized that Berry's carowner had a legitimate bitch...
Throwing his carowner out of PASS would have been adding insult to injury!
Chalk one up for the voice of reason finally winning out!
The "voice of reason" and "PASS." There's 2 things that, unfortunately, don't go together very often...

Actually Travis, PASS used to be pretty good... You could really trust their integrity... Things started going down hill about the time PASS "went south"...
I hope PASS realizes they are not NA$CAR and gets back to doing things the right way... getting rid of the lucky dog and making rules that everyone can compete with ... not just the elite teams...
Being friendly might up the image some too!
Whens the last time you got a responce to a question?... or even a press release sent out?
