On By

PASS RacingJ.R. Baril powered past pole sitter Carey Martin on the initial green flag and led all 75 laps to capture Sunday’s PASS Sportsman season opener at Lee (NH) USA Speedway. Martin chased Baril to the checkers with Joe Pastore Jr., Crag Smith and Rusty Poland third through fifth.

Baril was out front all the way but the win was by no means a runaway. Martin pressured Baril for all but the final five stanzas, trying every move and trick in the book to wrestle the lead away as the pair of veterans battled for the lead. Martin got to Baril’s left rear on several occasions and drew even with ten to go, but the defending PASS Sportsman champ had to back out for a spinning car in the low groove, ending his best shot at the win.
