Statement from ACT and
PASS
|
The
American-Canadian Tour (ACT)
and the Pro All Stars Series
(PASS) have been monitoring
the situation regarding the
COVID-19 outbreak. We
understand the situation is
a serious one both locally
and around the world. We
also realize the situation
is a fluid one, with
circumstances changing by
the day - and sometimes by
the hour.
People have
already started to ask us
what the status is of our
scheduled season-opening
events at New Hampshire
Motor Speedway on April
17/18 and Oxford Plains
Speedway on April 25/26. The
reality is that, due to the
fluidness of the situation,
we are in "wait and see"
mode just like our teams and
fans. That being said, we
take the health of our teams
and fans seriously, and we
will ultimately do what's
best in that regard. We also
will abide by whatever local
and federal executive orders
regarding social gatherings
are still in place come
mid-to-late April.
Both ACT and PASS have been
speaking with relevant
experts and authorities
regarding the situation. We
will continue to take
guidance from these
authorities and will know
more as we get closer to the
scheduled dates.
We
wish we had more to tell
you, but as everyone has
seen, circumstances can and
will change quickly during
these times. For the sake of
everyone, we hope the
COVID-19 threat passes
sooner rather than later so
people can resume their
regular lives. In the
meantime, please stay safe
and healthy, and we hope to
see everyone at the
racetrack soon. |

The NORTHEAST CLASSIC |
|
|
|
 |
 |
May 8 & 9 Set as NHMS
Northeast Classic
Make-Up Dates if Needed |
Waterbury, VT
and Naples, ME - 3-27-20
- American-Canadian
Tour (ACT) and Pro All Stars
Series (PASS) officials
announced today that Friday,
May 8 and Saturday, May 9
have been set as "if needed"
make-up dates for the
inaugural Northeast Classic
at New Hampshire Motor
Speedway (NHMS). While the
event has not officially
been postponed at this time,
recent developments have led
to setting the alternative
dates so teams and fans can
prepare for the possibility.
The decision to reserve
the make-up dates came in
the wake of a stay-at-home
order issued by the state of
New Hampshire due to the
worldwide COVID-19 outbreak.
This order is currently in
effect from midnight on
March 27 until May 4, which
would span the current April
17 and 18 dates for the
Northeast Classic. The
U.S.-Canada border is also
temporarily closed to
nonessential travel as a
result of the outbreak,
which would affect Quebec
teams planning to attend the
event.
However, with
the situation constantly
evolving, officials deemed
it best to hold off an
official postponement for
the time being. Both ACT and
PASS continue to monitor the
situation and will make
further announcements.
Should a postponement
ultimately be necessary, the
series will work with weekly
tracks that have events
currently slated on May 8
and 9 to minimize scheduling
conflicts.
"These are
unprecedented times for
everyone involved, which
makes it a complicated
situation to navigate," ACT
managing partner Cris
Michaud said. "As we stated
previously, we are committed
to doing what's best of our
teams and fans, and we are
following all state and
federal orders. That being
said, we're also optimistic
folks, and with three weeks
left before the original
date, a lot can still happen
in either direction. We'll
be sure to update everyone
as soon as there's more
information."
"We
know a lot of people in the
region are looking forward
to this event," PASS owner
Tom Mayberry said. "We want
to do everything we can to
get the Northeast Classic
in, which means keeping our
options open. Hopefully we
don't end up needing the
make-up dates, but it's good
to know they're available in
case. We look forward to
seeing everyone the moment
it's healthy and safe to do
so."
Teams can still
enter the Northeast Classic
by visiting
www.acttour.com or
www.proallstarseries.com.
The event, which is
currently set for April 17
and 18 at Loudon's New
Hampshire Motor Speedway,
will feature the ACT Late
Model Tour and PASS North
Series along with open
events for tour-type
Modifieds, 8-cylinder Street
Stocks, and 4-cylinder Mini
Stocks. Open practice is
scheduled for April 17 with
qualifying and features on
April 18.

EVENT SCHEDULE - HICKORY - 4-11 |
PASS North
Drivers
Set to Invade
Hickory |
Naples, Maine
-3-12-20 - There may
still be some snow on the
ground in the Northeast, but
more than a dozen drivers
are looking past it towards
one of the seasons biggest
races that is just over a
month away. The 15th Annual
Easter Bunny 150 will be run
at historic Hickory Motor
Speedway on April 10 and 11
and several familiar names
from the Northern Pro All
Stars Series (PASS) are
looking to etch their names
in a record book that
stretches back some 60+
years.
Two-time Race
Winner Ben Rowe is looking
forward to the season debut
with new crew chief Jason
Ricker. "It seems like the
Easter Bunny 150 is the
spring race that everybody
wants to go to. We have huge
car counts, and it's a
really stout field, plus
it's Hickory and everyone
wants to win at Hickory. I'm
really looking forward to
getting our season kicked
off, especially with hiring
Jason as crew chief and him
working with Ricky Rolfe, we
are looking for great
things."
Derek
Ranstrom survived a wild
2019 race which saw Popular
Bubba Pollard and five-time
Easter Bunny Race winner
Preston Peltier swap paint
in the waning laps of the
race. Pollard ultimately
payed the price with a turn
four spin off the machine of
Peltier putting them both to
the rear. The ensuing
restart saw youngster Tate
Folgleman going around in a
cloud of smoke off the
bumper of Corey Heim, also
relegating both of those
drivers to the end of the
next restart. With them out
of the way, Ranstrom went on
to fend off fellow north
competitor Mike Hopkins for
his first career Hickory win
exclaiming, "This place is
incredible!"
Northern
transplant John Peters hopes
to make his first trip to
Hickory a memorable one.
Peters, now residing in
Morrisville, NC said, "We
are at a point now as a team
where we'd like to continue
knocking things off the
long-term bucket list, and
really enjoy the racing
we're still able to do.
We've always been interested
in the Easter Bunny 150 and
my move to North Carolina
gave us a little extra
motivation to do it now. It
would be awesome to win and
would be a great way to
start the season.
Regardless, the experience
itself will be worth it.
Hickory Motor Speedway
has boasted some of racing's
most recognizable names over
its history, and the
traditional Easter Bunny 150
is no exception. Drivers
like the aforementioned
Peltier, Rowe and 4 time
Pass North Champion have
graced victory lane a
combined Eight times between
the three drivers.
Representing the Canadian
contingent will be Nova
Scotia resident Cole
Butcher. The driver from
Canada has showed a lot of
speed at various venues up
and down the eastern
seaboard in recent years,
and hopes to figure out the
tricky and bumpy Hickory
surface. "It would mean the
world to win it," Butcher
said, "That race puts people
on the map. It's big Motor
Vs. Small Motor and you
really never know how it's
going to end up." Butcher
makes reference to the
Northern teams tendency to
focus on handling and
getting through the corners
quickly while their southern
counterparts are known to
feature bigger power but
less handling, setting up a
classic tire wear battle on
the old and abrasive
surface.
For some
drivers, it's more about
luck then power or handling.
23-year-old Derek Griffith
falls into that category.
"We had a really good car
last year but unfortunately
got wrecked by someone
early. I think we have run
that race 4 times, and just
had bad luck." Coming off
five PASS North wins in
2019, and a hot early
season, the New Hampshire
resident hopes this is his
year to turn it around.
"Hickory is a special place
so any race there seems to
put on a good show. That
race has been won by a ton
of very good guys, so it
would be cool if we can add
our name to that list."
One more driver adding
Hickory to his bucket list
is Maine's Ben Ashline. The
driver of the Picard racing
99 joined the PASS tour late
in 2019 and made a big
splash by winning at the
Lanier Raceplex in Georgia.
Ashline hopes to put his
name in the record books
alongside the others. "We
show up to win, second
stinks. It looks very
unique. Every track has its
own characteristics and this
one appears to have plenty
of its own from the videos I
have seen online. New tracks
and new competitors bring
new challenges, and we love
a good challenge."
Ashline and crew will
certainly be put to the
test. Also on the early
entry list is last year's
runner up in the race, and
PASS National Champion Mike
Hopkins. Hopkins is no
stranger to big races and
his home track, Speedway 95,
is said by some to have a
lot of the same
characteristics as Hickory.
2019 PASS Champion and past
Easter Bunny winner DJ Shaw
heads up the Shaw Racing
entrants along with his
protégée teenager Gabe
Brown. Scarborough's Garrett
Hall, a twice PASS winner in
2019, along with Jake
Johnson, JP Josiasse, Angelo
Belsito, and Bangor's Gary
Smith have also filed early
entries for the 15th annual
holiday weekend race. Adding
to the pressure of it all is
this is the first PASS
National race of 2020 making
it an especially important
race for every driver who
enters.
As entries
continue to pour into PASS
headquarters, the names and
accomplishments of those
hoping to take home the
hardware reads of a who's
who in short track Super
Late Model racing.
MASS Street Stocks and
Mini-Stocks will join the
docket with a pair of 50 Lap
open races.
All the
action gets under way Friday
April 10th with rotating
practice for all three
competing divisions with the
pit gate opening at noon and
closing at six. On Saturday,
April 11, pit gates open at
11:30 with practice
beginning at 1:30 followed
by time trials at 4:30. An
autograph party will follow
the qualifying at 6pm with
an Easter egg hunt for the
kids at 6:30. Racing begins
promptly at 7pm with the
mini-stocks, followed by the
MASS Street Stocks and the
Easter Bunny 150.

ROWE - SWEET - GERRY |
|
PASS Registered
Drivers Surpasses 30 |
Naples, ME -
3-1-20 - With six weeks
to go before the first race
of the 2020 season, the
number of registered drivers
for Pro All Stars Series
(PASS) North/National sits
at 33. With an 18 race
schedule starting with the
Easer Bunny 150 on April
11th in Hickory North
Carolina and culminating
with the championship race
at Seekonk October 24th,
excitement is growing as the
snow begins to melt away.
Leading the charge is
back-to-back champion DJ
Shaw out of Center Conway,
New Hampshire. Shaw has been
perennial contender for the
PASS Championship over the
past decade and hopes to
make it three in a row and
his fifth.
Hoping to put a
stop to the Shaw reign will
be New Hampshire's Derek
Griffith. The youngster from
Hudson narrowly missed his
first PASS North
Championship in 2019 by a
scant 21 points and led the
series with five season
wins. Griffith does have the
2018 PASS National
Championship on his resume,
showing he is more than
capable of running up front
week in and week out at a
variety of different tracks.
Turner's Ben Rowe has
had a rejuvenation of sorts
over the last couple of
years showing a lot of speed
and finishing a not so
distant third in the 2019
championship picture. The
51-time race winner and
four-time North Champion had
4 top 3 finishes in 2019,
including three of them at
home track Oxford Plains
Speedway. Rowe is also a
five-time National Champion
and has a wealth of
experience and a seasoned
crew behind his 2020
campaign.
Perhaps the
biggest wild card in the
deck is teenager Gabe Brown.
The 2018 Super Late Model
Champion at Oxford Plains
Speedway embarked on a full
season of completion with
PASS in 2019. Garnering five
top 5's and 11 top ten's,
the 17 year old driver
showed he is more than
capable of running at the
front in one of the
Northeast's most competitive
touring series. With a full
season under his belt, Brown
is sure to see victory lane
in 2020 and contend for the
title in his Shaw chassis.
Ben Ashline came on
strong at the end of 2019 in
the P&A Racing number 99
Chevy. In five races Ashline
scored a top five and a
seventh place finish in the
Oxford 250 before nailing
down a popular victory at
Lanier, Georgia in November.
Ashline has long since
showed speed in his various
racing endeavors and as a
Distance Racing employee,
has learned how to adapt
setups from track to track.
Scoring a pair of
victories last year was
Vermont's Nick Sweet and
Maine's Garret Hall. While
neither driver has secured a
PASS Championship as of yet
in their young careers,
eight career wins between
them and a multitude of
podium finishes show they
should be considered threats
on a weekly basis.
Two-time Champion Travis
Benjamin took a step back in
the middle of the 2019
season after a slow start.
The Petit Motorsports driver
nailed down a weekly win at
Oxford Plains before
securing his third career
Oxford 250 win. Benjamin
scored 4 top finishes on the
season and finished sixth in
the season title hunt. 2020
looks to be a rebound year
for the driver out of
Morrill. Brandon Barker has
stated his intent to run the
entire North schedule in
2020. With six top 10s in a
limited schedule over the
past two season, the
youngster from Windham is
poised to make a charge for
his first Pass win.
Add into the mix part time
veteran drivers like Mike
Rowe, Curtis Gerry, Mike
Hopkins, Johnny Clark, and
Eddie MacDonald along with
new comers like Evan
Hallstrom and Craig
Weinstein and it doesn't
take long to realize picking
a winner week in and week
out may be difficult.

2020 Pro All Stars Series
SLM
Schedule Preview
|
Naples, ME
-2-27-20 - Hickory
Motor Speedway will be the
venue for the 15th Annual
Easter Bunny 150 that will
kick off the 2020 Pro All
Stars Series (PASS) Schedule
on April 11th. Among the
early entrants are two-time
winner Ben Rowe and 2019
Pass North Champion DJ Shaw.
A strong Northern contingent
of Super Late Models,
including Mike Hopkins, Ben
Ashline, and Cole Butcher
have already entered in
hopes of etching their names
in the record books
alongside some prestigious
race winners at the historic
oval.
Just a week
later, PASS returns to New
England's biggest stage for
the first annual Northeast
Classic at New Hampshire
Motor Speedway on April 18.
Ten-time NHMS winner Eddie
MacDonald looks to add
another victory to his
lengthy resume, but will
have to fend off a full
field as 23 other drivers
are already entered for the
75 lap main event.
Oxford Plains Speedway (OPS)
on April 26th and Hudson
Speedway on May 3rd will
host a pair of 150 races to
complete the four races in
four weeks early season
schedule. Scenic White
Mountain Motorsports Park
(WMMP) on the 17th will see
Derek Griffith try to repeat
his August victory before a
return to Oxford Plains
Speedway on the 31st for the
second of six races at the
famed speed plant.
A
Mid-Season break in the
first three weeks of June
will allow teams to re-tool
and gear up for the
remainder of the summer's
aggressive part of the 19
race schedule. Speedway 95
host their annual 150 lap
event where home town
favorite Mike Hopkins
promises to be a big threat
to win, before PASS heads
down to Star Speedway on the
26th and 27th for a 200 lap
event, the third major of
the season.
"We
tried hard to include some
breaks in our schedule,
while at the same time
giving fans and competitors
some of the major events
they enjoy," said PASS
President Tom Mayberry,
"With the Northern racing
season being short, we feel
like we have a schedule that
has the best of both
worlds."
A new twist
will kick off the OPS race
in July 3rd as the drivers
will compete in a pair of 75
lap sprints, something that
could come into play for
August's Oxford 250. WMMP
hosts its second 150 race of
the season on the 18th
before the first of two
events at Seekonk on the
29th.
As the
calendar flips to August,
attention turns to the 47th
Annual Oxford 250 at the end
of the month, but not before
a trip to popular Spud
Speedway on the 9th, and the
final 250 tune up at OPS on
the 16th. With nearly 50
entries for the August
showdown, this year's
edition of the one of the
most prestigious races in
Super Late Model racing
promises to become an
instant classic.
Only
one Race on September 19th
at WMMP will allow teams a
chance to rejuvenate before
the October stretch run of
Thunder Road (2nd), Oxford
Plains Speedway (17th) and
Seekonk Speedway (24th) will
decide this year champion.
31 Drivers have
already registered licenses
for competition in 2020
including perennial
contenders Ben Rowe, Travis
Benjamin, and Johnny Clark.
Coupled with youngsters like
Gabe Brown, and veterans
like Mike Rowe the 2020 Pro
All Stars Series looks to
showcase the best
competition in years.

2020 PASS MODS SCHEDULE
PDF |
Naples, ME -
2-4-20 - Coming off one
of the most successful years
in recent memory, the PASS
MODS Tour is finding a niche
with new drivers and
veterans alike, spurring a
massive growth leading into
2020. At least nine new
drivers have stated
intentions on running parts
or all of the 13 race
schedule while the majority
of last year's class is
planning another campaign.
Among the returnees are
last year's champion and two
time winner Spencer Morse.
When asked why he thought
the MODS were seeing such
growth Spencer said, "It's a
great stepping stone for
young drivers, and a great
landing spot for older guys
that have run out of money
but still have some talent.
Plus they are a ton of fun
to drive, it's like a SLM
and a Street Stock had a
baby."
Tyler
King, who joined the series
on race three in 2019 made
his mark by leading the
series in wins, hopes to
keep Morse and last year's
runner up, Jairet Harrison
in his rearview all season.
Fans can add to that driver
trio, perennial contenders
like Mike Carrigan and Mark
Lundblad Jr, the always
popular Matty Sanborn, and
youngsters Justin Larsen,
Colby Benjamin, Ryan Nelson
and Spencer Vaughn to the
mix.
Making his
return to the series after a
one year absence is twice
champion and 15-time race
winner Ben Tinker out of New
Gloucester, Maine. While
Tinker has yet to commit to
the entire 13 race schedule,
he will surely be a
contender for race wins when
he is able to be present.
Said Tinker about his
schedule, "It's still in the
works, and so much of it
depends on what sponsors
want to do. We will see how
the first few races go and
decide from there what's
best."
Joining the
Pass MODS this year will be
a large and diverse crop of
faces new and old to the
racing scene. Kevin Durgin,
Gary Dwinal, Ajay Cates,
Dwight Moody and Mark Simond
headline some names with a
wide variety of experience.
Rookies Ashley Beyea, Jake
Madore, and Joe Day will
join other new comers Tyler
Fiscus, Mark Proctor, Jake
Madore and Mike Nichols who
has also registered a number
to make a run at the tour
this summer.
Add into
the mix drivers like
Kristina Nadeau, or her
husband Bobby, Geoff Rollins
who snagged a victory in
2019, and occasional
appearances by the likes of
Billy Dixon, Patrick
Sullivan and Mike Brown and
it's not hard to imagine
fields as high as 25 cars at
some races.
With all
the new faces coupled with a
healthy returning
contingent, the PASS MODS
Tour has become one of the
fastest growing touring
divisions in New England.

2020 Oxford 250 Entries Top
40
a Full Seven Months
in Advance! |
Oxford, ME -
1-31-20 - The 2020
edition of the Oxford 250
has reached the highest
number of entries for this
time of year in nearly a
decade. King Racing veteran
Cassius Clark officially
filed the 43rd entry for the
prestigious race set to be
run in the last weekend in
August, nearly seven months
away. This puts the pace
well ahead of the last few
years when the historic
weekend drew 55 or more of
the best Super Late Model
drivers in the nation.
"We are absolutely
thrilled that so many
top-notch drivers are
already committing to be a
part of one of the biggest
weekends on the Eastern
Seaboard," said PASS
President Tom Mayberry, "The
last few 250s have had some
phenomenal racing, and by
the looks of our entry list
so far, this year will be no
exception."
Two-time
race winner Ben Rowe in his
familiar yellow number 4 was
the first of this year's
entrants even before the
calendar flipped into 2020.
It wasn't long after that
when entries began to flood
the Rte. 26 office.
Northeast Legend Mike Rowe
was the 20th driver to
officially file his intent
to compete in his 38th
Oxford 250 in hopes to add
to his three previous wins
in three different decades.
The impressive entry
list reads like a Who's Who
of Super Late Model racing
in the Northeast, including
nine-time track champion
Jeff Taylor, 2019 track
champion and multi-time
Pro-All Star Series (PASS)
winner Curtis Gerry, and
back-to-back winner Eddie
MacDonald who still seeks
his first 250 win in a SLM.
Making the long haul
all the way from Washington
State will be Super Late
Model standout Garret Evans
whose lone appearance in
2016 resulted in a
disappointing 23rd place
finish after running near
the front most of the day.
Local young hot shoes like
Austin Teras and Josh
Childs, who have both been
feature winners at the famed
3/8 mile oval, promise to
make the veterans earn their
way, while the Canadian
contingent will be
represented by Cole Butcher,
who has shown a tremendous
amount of speed in several
races.
Among the most
recent entries are the likes
of three-time 250 Champion
Travis Benjamin, four-time
PASS Champion DJ Shaw, and
last year's runner up Derek
Griffith who will all
compete to wear the wreath
at the end of 250 laps. With
43 of the best drivers in
America already on the entry
list, the 47th annual Oxford
250 promises to be the best
yet with the entry list sure
to rise in coming months.

Bennett, Felton to Run
Modified Open
at NHMS
Northeast Classic
|
Waterbury, VT -
1-2-20 - Two of the
most reputable names in
Northeast Modified racing
will be part of the
operations team for the
inaugural Northeast Classic.
American-Canadian Tour (ACT)
and Pro All Stars Series
(PASS) officials have
announced that Ed Bennett
and Greg Felton will oversee
the Modified Open at
Loudon's New Hampshire Motor
Speedway on Friday, April 17
and Saturday, April 18.
Bennett and Felton have
been part of the regional
Modified racing scene for
decades. Each currently
holds a major role with the
Tri-Track Open Modified
Series (TTOMS). Bennett
joined the series in January
2019 as a managing partner
in charge of race day
operations. He is also a
longtime Modified car owner
who has fielded rides for
drivers such as Matt
Hirschman, Jimmy Blewett,
Chuck Hossfield, and Erick
Rudolph.
Felton was
named Series Head of Race
Tech for the Tri-Track
Modifieds in February 2019.
Felton has been a successful
Modified crew chief for
decades, winning races and
championships with Woody
Pitkat, Kirk Alexander, Todd
Szgedy, and others. He
transitioned to a race
official in recent years and
served as a technical
advisor for MRS prior to
joining TTOMS.
Bennett and Felton now bring
their expertise to the
first-ever Northeast
Classic. The Modified Open
will be a 50-lap event as
part of a packed schedule at
the "Magic Mile" that
includes the season-openers
for the ACT Late Model Tour
and PASS North Series as
well as an open event for
eight-cylinder Street
Stocks.
"We're
excited that Ed and Greg
have agreed to take the
reins for the Modified
Open," ACT managing partner
Cris Michaud said. "When Tom
(Mayberry) and I were
putting the Northeast
Classic together, we knew
getting the right people for
the Modified portion was a
must. Ed and Greg's resumes
speak for themselves.
They're doing great things
with the Tri-Track Modifieds
and they'll do a great job
for us at NHMS."
"To
run a successful Modified
event, you need people who
understand Modifieds," PASS
president Tom Mayberry
added. "Cris and I are
full-fendered guys, so we
knew we had to find people
for the Modified side that
were in their element.
Getting Ed and Greg on board
was a priority for us, and
we're happy they'll be part
of the team putting on the
first-ever Northeast
Classic."
Modified
teams can contact Ed Bennett
at (732) 278-6200 and Greg
Felton at (413) 695-2272
with any questions or
concerns.

practice for all divisions
is set for Friday, April 17
with qualifying and feature
action on Saturday, April
18. The rain date is Sunday,

PASS & ACT to Open 2020
Championship Seasons at NHMS
|
Naples, ME -
Waterbury, VT -
Loudon, NH's New Hampshire
Motor Speedway (NHMS) will

the inaugural Northeast
Classic.
ACT and PASS
are partnering up as
co-promoters of the
extravaganza that features
two of the region's top
touring series. Both
will be point-counting
events that open the 2020
title chases for their
respective series.
The event is ACT's first
visit to NHMS since the 2017
ACT Invitational. It will be
the second-ever
point-counting event for the
series at the 1.058-mile
speedway, joining the ACT
All-Star Challenge in 2011.
PASS returns to the Magic
Mile for the second straight
year and third time overall
after running National
Championship Series events
in 2015 and 2019.
In
addition to ACT and PASS,
the Northeast Classic also
includes open shows for
Tour-type Modifieds and
8-cylinder Street Stocks.
The Modifieds will have a
50-lap main event while the
Street Stocks will go 25
laps. It adds up to a full
afternoon of racing for fans
of both full-fender and
open-wheel action.
Friday, April 17 has been
set as Practice Day for the
Northeast Classic with
racing on Saturday, April
18. The rain date will be
Sunday, April 19. More
details on all events will
be announced soon.
"We're beyond excited to
return to NHMS," ACT
managing partner Cris
Michaud said. "A few months
ago, an event like this
wasn't even on our radar.
But Tom Mayberry and the
folks at NHMS worked with us
to make it happen, and we've
put something together that
we think racers and fans
will love. ACT had a great
run at NHMS with the
Invitational for nine years,
and we're happy to start a
new chapter at this great
racetrack."
"We're
already looking forward to
April," PASS owner Tom
Mayberry added. "A big event
always gets a season started
on the right foot. What
bigger way to open our 2020
Northeast racing season than
on the biggest stage in the
region? We're glad to be
working with ACT and NHMS on
this event and aim to make
it a new annual tradition
for racers from Connecticut
to Quebec."
