Richie Dearborn, a young-gun on the “PASS”, scored his first Pro All Stars Series feature win at Lee New Hampshire on Sept. 05, 2004. He was the seventh different PASS winner in 2004 and the nineteenth driver to score an All Stars Series feature win.

A down-easter, Richie is from Hollis Maine. He races #33, a 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, in the PASS Series. The team Crew Chief is Dick Dearborn, Chief Mechanic Joe Wallace and Tire Specialist is Paul Brown. There are seven additional team members Ryan, Ralph, Robbie, Bonnie, Deb, Kelly and Katie. Theirs is a family affair, with Rich’s parents and sister on the team. Beech Ridge Motor Speedway is home track to the #33 team.

At twenty-four, Richie has seven years experience in racing and many accomplishments. His first season, 1997, Richie was selected as “Outstanding New Driver” and finished 5th in points in Super Sportsman Division at Beech Ridge. That was just the beginning. The 1998 and 99 seasons brought solid 2nd, 3rd and 5th place finishes for the boy from Hollis and prompted a move to Pro Stocks in 2000.

Richie’s love for speed and competitiveness is what peaked his interest in racing. That and his families commitment and support is what keeps him going back each week. The one difficulty he had as a young rookie driver was getting respect from the older, seasoned drivers. They just don’t like new drivers. He has proven himself several times over.
