Rollercoaster Saturday at
Seekonk
Decides PASS North Champion |
Story by: Brandon Paul,
Speed51.com Editor |
A day full of ups
and downs for a pair of
championship contenders
decided the 2019 Pro All
Stars Series (PASS) North
champion Saturday afternoon
at Seekonk Speedway (MA).
Derek Griffith entered
the season-ending race with
an eight-point advantage
over defending champion DJ
Shaw. Ultimately, Shaw
overcame that deficit to
claim his fourth PASS North
championship; however, the
rollercoaster ride was
anything but easy.
"This was about the worst
day we could have possibly
had and still pulled this
off," Shaw said after the
race. "I don't even know
what to say. I can't believe
it, really. It was a bad
day. We missed it on the
setup and Griffith got
caught up in wrecks all day.
We were just fortunate to
survive." |

Lanpher Ends Drought &
Makes a Special Phone Call |
Story by: Brandon Paul,
Speed51.com Editor

Reid Lanpher's Pro
All Stars Series (PASS)
North victory Saturday
afternoon at Oxford Plains
Speedway (ME) was meaningful
in more ways than one. In
addition to snapping a
one-year winless drought
dating back to this same
race last October, Lanpher
dedicated the victory to a
long-time supporter who is
currently battling cancer.
While celebrating a
dominant victory, Lanpher
was handed a cell phone in
Victory Lane. On the other
end of that phone call was
Priscilla Lund, the
long-time supporter of
Lanpher who was unable to be
at the track.
"Priscilla and Craig (Lund),
her husband, have been
long-time supporters of us,
just the absolute nicest
people ever," Lanpher said.
"A lot of people know them
at the track and nobody has
met them without knowing how
awesome of people they are.
She has cancer right now
that she's going through. It
wasn't a small amount of
cancer, but she's strong as
ever and she's fighting. The
cancerous tumors have
reduced significantly the
last couple weeks after some
surgeries. She's doing
awesome and I think she's
hopefully going to pull
through. She's definitely in
our thoughts today."
On the race track, Lanpher
scored one of the most
dominant victories in recent
memory, starting from the
pole and leading all 150
laps. For a driver who had
admittedly struggled for
much of the season, the win
could only be summed up in
one word.
"Amazing,"
Lanpher said. "It definitely
takes the lows to make the
highs feel that much better.
It means a lot to us, so
we're pretty excited." |

Sweet Domination Saturday
Night at the Milk Bowl |

@ian_pettigrew
Nick Sweet might be
struggling to find speed in
his American-Canadian Tour
Late Model at the Vermont
Milk Bowl, but that didn't
stop him from putting on a
clinic during the PASS North
Super Late Model feature at
Thunder Road on Saturday.
Sweet dominated the race,
leading 132 of 150 laps en
route to notching his second
PASS victory of the season.
I knew when we unloaded
[the Super Late Model] that
it was fast," Sweet said.
"It drove really well as it
showed during the race, I
think we led most of the
race, capped out on a good
finish there so that was
really good."
Sweet
is also running his ACT car
this weekend but thus far
has not been able to find
the speed he wants to
capture a fourth Milk Bowl
victory. Following his PASS
victory, Sweet finished
fifth in his 50-lap
qualifier to earn himself a
12th-place starting spot in
Sunday's Milk Bowl.
"Now we can hopefully carry
a little bit of that
momentum and bring it into
the Milk Bowl here because
we have a lot of work to do
on the Late Model," he said.
"It was fun to lead laps,
hopefully we can lead more
laps, we'll see. I'm trying
to be optimistic with the
Late Model but we have a
long way to go." |

Griffith Goes
from Last to First
for
PASS Win at WMMP |
WMMP RELEASE -
N. Woodstock, NH -
Hudson's Derek Griffith went
from the outhouse to the
penthouse in less than an
hour to score his fifth Pro
All Stars Series (PASS)
Super Late Model win of the
season at White Mountain
Motorsports Park on
Saturday, September 21.
Griffith took the lead from
six-time PASS North Champion
Johnny Clark of Hallowell,
ME on a restart with 11 laps
remaining in the PASS 150
and sped off to his second
victory in six days.
The victory capped off a
"worst-to-first" drive for
Griffith through the stout
field. Griffith was caught
up in a multi-car pile-up on
just the second lap of the
race and headed pit-side
during the resulting
caution. He returned at the
rear of the field and then
drove through the pack for
the win.
Clark had
dominated the event from the
pole as he hunted for his
first win in three years.
The veteran led the first 46
laps before surrendering the
top spot to Waterford, CT's
Dillon Moltz, who had
charged to the front from
ninth in the 25-car starting
field. Moltz pulled away in
the middle stages after
getting inside Clark while
Griffith steadily battled
his way through the pack.
Griffith was back up to
sixth when the fifth caution
flew on lap 88 after Trevor
Sanborn came to halt with a
flat tire. Clark got the
jump over Moltz on the
restart to regain the lead
while Griffith sliced his
way to the third spot.
A three-car battle
ensued for the lead before
Clark started to pull away.
Griffith eventually moved
around Moltz for the second
spot on lap 117 and set to
work reeling in Clark. The
Hudson native was right on
Clark's bumper when Reid
Lanphear blew a right-front
tire and pounded the
turn-one wall to bring out
the sixth caution on with 13
laps to go. |

Sweet Earns First Win at Oxford
during the PASS 150
|
OXFORD - Nick Sweet of
Barre, VT took the checkered this
past Sunday at Oxford Plains
Speedway during the PASS 150,
earning his first win at Oxford.
Kate Re of Lovell picked up her
2nd win of the season in the PASS
Mods. The 15-year-old took the lead
from early leader Mike Carrigan
before lap 10 and pulled away from
the field. After Carrigan fell back
Spencer Morse quickly took over 2nd
with Jariet Harrison in 3rd. By Lap
30 Re had already lapped the rear of
the field, but Morse was finally
catching up to her. After a caution
on lap 34, Tyler King passed
Harrison for 3rd during lap 37. Kate
Re lead the rest of feature in front
of the 20-car field, a record field
this season in the division. Home
track hero, Spencer Morse of
Waterford settled for 2nd place
while Tyler King of Gray finished in
3rd. Jarriet Harrison of Freeport
and Mike Carrigan of Lebanon rounded
out the top 5.
Bryce Mains of
Naples officially took home $1,000
and the Street Stock Showdown Series
win after an eventful 50 lap
feature. Billy Childs Jr. took the
early lead with Jordan Russell
behind him in 2nd while Matty
Dufault and Shawn Knight battled for
2nd. Knight squeezed down bottom on
lap 5, passing both Dufault and
Russell for 2nd place. Knight
quickly made it up to Childs and
took the lead from him on lap 10. 11
laps later the first caution of the
race came out. On the restart things
got wild. Russell, Childs, and
Knight got together on the back
stretch and ended up going off turn
3. Knight and Russell were able to
drive back to the pits but were not
able to finish the race. Childs' car
wasn't drivable and had to be hauled
back to the pits. Gary Babineau took
the lead on the restart with Connor
McDougal in 2nd. Dufault and Bryce
Mains raced for 3rd before Bryce
passed McDougal for 2nd on lap 31.
McDougal fell back leaving Dufault
and Hewins to battle for 3rd. |

Curtis Gerry Scores Another
PASS
Super
Late Model Victory at OPS |
Oxford, Maine
- Curtis Gerry of Waterboro,
Maine is a hard man to beat
when he gets his Super Late
Model dialed in at Oxford,
and he scored his first
points-counting Pro All
Stars Series Super Late
Model race of the season
Sunday night at Oxford
Plains Speedway.
Gerry, who has three race
wins in Saturday night
Budweiser Championship
Series Super Late Model
competition this year at
Oxford, also won last
Sunday's PASS Open
100-lapper and has five
Super Late Model triumphs to
his credit this season at
the historic Route 26 oval
track.
"We needed
this one" Gerry claimed in
victory lane. His rivals
would beg to differ. At
times it looked like a
couple of his fellow
competitors might have
something for Gerry, as a
partial cloud cover saw
track conditions change
several times during the
150-lapper. |

Oxford,

Waterboro, Maine's
Curtis Gerry
continued to be the
man to beat in Super
Late Model
competition at
Oxford Plains
Speedway, driving to
another impressive
victory in Sunday
night's PASS Open
100-lap main event.
Gerry, a former
Oxford 250 winner
who leads the
standings in the
track's Budweiser
Championship Series
Super Late Models in
his first season as
a regular
competitor, needed
only thirteen laps
to work his way into
the race lead,
spending much of
that time behind an
entertaining,
side-by-side lead
battle between
Dixfield, Maine's
Ryan Robbins and
Eddie MacDonald of
Rowley,
Massachusetts.
MacDonald got
out front for a few
laps but Gerry
pounced after
patiently waiting
for his opportunity
to get to the front.
From there he
managed to maintain
a comfortable
advantage and made
no mistakes on
restarts to keep his
rivals at bay in
dominant fashion.
Late in the race
the racer to watch
was Dave Farrington
of Jay, who used the
outside groove to
drive around several
contenders, getting
past MacDonald in
the closing stages
of the race to earn
runner-up honors and
a guaranteed
starting position in
the 46th Annual
Oxford 250,
scheduled for
Sunday, August 25. |

Loudon, NH
- Eddie MacDonald of Rowley,

Hopkins to claim victory in
the 50-lap Pro All Stars
Series Super Late Model main
event, highlighting the
racing card at the third
annual New England Short
Track Showdown at New
Hampshire Motor Speedway in
Loudon on Sunday.
For
MacDonald it was win number
11 at the Magic Mile,
including scores in both
PASS Super Late Model races
ever contested at the
1.058-mile oval. He beat
Hopkins to the line by maybe
a foot, or .026-seconds
according to electronic
scoring, aboard his Hancock
Electric-Grimm Construction
17.
Hermon, Maine
driver Hopkins, a winner at
the 3/4-mile Richmond
Raceway in Virginia to open
up the 2019 Pro All Stars
Series season, solidified
his position atop the Pro
All Stars Series National
Championship standings with
his runner-up finish.
Derek Griffith of
Hudson, New Hampshire, the
defending PASS Super Late

positions in front of the

Hopkins before settling for
a third-place finish,
following up his win in the

Father's Day
PASS Mods win |
Hermon, ME -
Reigning Pro All Stars
Series Super Late Model
National Champion Derek
Grifith of Hudson, New
Hampshire nailed down his
second PASS North victory of
the season on Father's Day
afternoon in the Hopkins
Milling & Paving PASS 150 at
Speedway 95 in Hermon,
Maine.
For Griffith
it was his second win at the
tricky, banked short track
located just outside of
Bangor. Griffith now has
four straight podium
finishes in PASS competition
at Maine's Family Fun Track.
He got the lead away from
hometown Hermon racer, and
Richmond Raceway PASS
Commonwealth Classic winner
Mike Hopkins.
The
local favorite was just
breaking in a new racecar
and while it looked
exceptionally quick early on
it was no match for Griffith
and the LCM Motorsports 12
after the 22-year-old
Granite Stater had worked
his way into second position
after starting the race from
11th spot.
Nick Sweet
of Barre, Vermont earned
runner-up honors in his
first-ever visit to the
tricky track and gave some
credit to veteran Steuben,
Maine Late Model racer
Rowland 'JR' Robinson. Sweet
and Hopkins seemed to battle
for the balance of the race
after Griffith took command
for good. Hopkins was the
third-place finisher.
Championship points
leader Garrett Hall aided
his title hopes slightly
with a fine fourth-place
performance. Six-time PASS
North Super Late Model
Champion Johnny Clark of
Farmingdale filled out the
top-five rundown.
Sixth-place finisher Travis
Benjamin of Belfast was the
only other driver to
complete all 150 green flag
laps. Defending PASS North
SLM Champion DJ Shaw of
Center Conway, New Hampshire
was seventh, followed by his
protégé and next door
neighbor, Gabe Brown.
Vermont's Bobby Therrien
finished in ninth position,
just ahead of Ellsworth's
Wyatt Alexander.
In
addition to added Father's
Day happiness, there were
several team members with
Griffith's ride celebrating
birthdays at Speedway 95 on
Sunday.
Kate Re, a
15-year-old Fryeburg Academy
sophomore from Lovell, made
daddy Rick Re awful proud on
Father's Day, racing to her
second career PASS Mod win,
and first this season. Kate
led all 40 laps but it
certainly was not without
challenge, most notably from
Tyler King, in just his
second PASS Mod race.
King spent, at least,
the final one-third of the
race in the outside groove
trying to get around Re, but
she held her line and fended
off the Livermore native,
now calling Gray home. It
was King's first Father's
Day as a parent and both
Papa Scott and Grandpa Joe
King are instrumental in the
family-based team.
Lebanon's Mike Carignan
grabbed the third-place
trophy, making the
three-hour ride home to
almost-New Hampshire more
tolerable. The top-five was
filled out by the two most
recent winners on the tour
entering the afternoon's
action, Spencer Morse of
Waterford and Freeport's
Jariet Harrison.
Re's
victory was tremendously
popular with the large crowd
on hand for the Pro All
Stars Series racing program. |

afternoon in the Mekklesen's

International Speedbowl in
Barre, Vermont.
Griffith's Louie
Mechalides-prepared Super
Late Model was the class of
the field in the second half
of the competitive event on
the historic, high-banked
quarter-mile oval. He is the
sixth different winner in
six Pro All Stars Series
events contested at Thunder
Road.
Griffith took
the lead away from defending
PASS North Super Late Model
champion DJ Shaw of Center
Conway, New Hampshire. Shaw,
who started 11th, looked
like a good bet to prevail
until Griffith put the
hammer down in the outside
groove and took command of
the race in the closing
laps.
Shaw, who had
prevailed in an epic battle
versus Griffith at Thompson
Speedway Motorsports Park
last month, stayed atop the
PASS North Super Late Model
championship standings with
his runner-up performance.
Mekklesen 150 defending
champion Joey Polewarczyk,
Jr., of Hudson, New

the race after restarting
from the back of the field

Longtime Star Speedway
competitor Joe Squeglia of

a couple of mid-race

honors. Nick Sweet of Barre,

lining up for the race in
20th position.
Six-time PASS North Super

Clark made a late charge
into fourth spot after
setting the race pace for
several laps before
misfortune struck. Reid
Lanpher of Manchester, Maine
started dead last in the
23-car field, got caught up
in the wreck that took out
Pole and Griffith, made what
seemed like a dozen pit
stops and then drove back
into the top five as the
checkered flag waved.
Race winner Shaw, who
skipped practice to attend a
wedding in Maine, got to the
Speedway just minutes before
qualifying got underway.
Starting the 150-lap main
event from 11th position, he
avoided the early carnage
that sidelined early race

breaks dry spell with

triumph
at Oxford Plains
Speedway
ACT
Late Model win for Bryan
Kruczek,
first PASS Mods
score for Matty Sanborn |
Oxford, Maine --
Garrett Hall of Scarborough,
Maine drove to an impressive
Pro All Stars Series Super
Late Model victory Sunday
afternoon at Maine's Oxford
Plains Speedway, taking the
lead away from reigning
series champion DJ Shaw of
Center Conway, New
Hampshire, then hanging on
to the top spot to end a
year-plus dry spell on the
region's top Super Late
Model circuit.
Hall,
three times a winner in PASS
action prior to last season,
seemed almost surprised to
be collecting the big trophy
after struggling prior to
the main event. After
starting 20th in the 33-car
field Hall patiently worked
his way into contention,
chasing down PASS opening
day winner, and defending
series champion, DJ Shaw of
Center Conway, New
Hampshire.
Shaw had
his hands full just getting
to the lead after starting
11th. Barre, Vermont's Nick
Sweet turned in the quickest
laps of the day while
setting the early pace
before gremlins drove the
car to pit road under green
flag conditions. Maritime
Canadian Pro Stock champion,
and 2018 PASS North race
winner Cole Butcher of Nova
Scotia took command after
Sweet was sidelined. |

Shaw Outduels Griffith in
PASS North Opener
at
Thompson Speedway
Motorsports Park |
Thompson, CT -
Reigning Pro All Stars
Series North Super Late
Model Champion DJ Shaw of
Center Conway, New Hampshire
outdueled fellow Granite
State racer Derek Griffith
of Hudson to kick off his
title defense in winning
fashion, prevailing in a
thrilling 75-lapper Sunday
afternoon (April 7) at
Connecticut's Thompson
Speedway Motorsports Park.
Shaw, seeking a fourth
series title this year in
the Precision JLM / Dale
Shaw Race Cars 60, used the
outside groove to reclaim
the lead from Griffith, the
defending PASS Super Late
Model National Championship
Series kingpin. It was a
reversal of fortunes for the
top two finishers, as
Griffith bested Shaw in last
year's opener at New
England's fastest short
track.
Shaw started
from ninth position on the
starting grid while
third-starting Griffith
quickly moved into
contention, chasing early
race leader Gabe Brown of
Center Conway, NH.
Multi-time PASS North and
National Champion Ben Rowe
of Turner, Maine was an
early factor up front, as
was six-time PASS North
champ Johnny Clark of
Farmingdale, Maine. |
