DJ Shaw Triumphant in
PASS North Super Late Model
“Southern Maine Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge
150” |
Scarborough, ME – DJ Shaw of
Center Conway, New Hampshire drove
from 19th starting position to
victory lane in Saturday’s Southern
Maine Motors 150 for Pro All Stars
Series Super Late Models at Beech
Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough,
Maine.
Shaw methodically
worked his way through a stellar
field of contenders aboard his
Precision JLM Ford, taking the lead
away from Berwick, Maine’s Joey
Doiron with about 30 laps remaining,
then cruising to the checkered flag
with relative ease once in command.
“It’s a good day for Dale Shaw
Race Cars. First and second place,”
said the winner, who builds,
maintains and sets up race cars at
the family business for a living.
Doiron, who took over the top
spot in the Pro All Stars Series
North Super Late Model championship
points standings with his second
straight runner-up finish, also led
the most laps in race for the second
consecutive time. After yielding the
top spot to Shaw, Doiron held off
certain Maine and New England
Hall-of-Famer Mike Rowe of Turner,
Maine to earn runner-up laurels.
Rowe, a recent NASCAR track
champion at Beech Ridge, filled out
the podium despite losing the power
steering in his RJF Motorsports
mount. He likely would have had more
of a say in the outcome had
mechanical demons not cropped up.
Cassius Clark of Farmington,
Maine, the winner in the PASS opener
at Oxford Plains Speedway two weeks
previous, crossed the line in fourth
position. Reigning series champion
Travis Benjamin of Morrill, Maine
rounded out the top five.
Scott Mulkern of Falmouth, Maine;
Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, ME;
David Oliver of Standish, Maine
six-time PASS Super Late Model
champion Johnny Clark of
Farmingdale, Maine and Windham,
Maine’s Corey Bubar rounded out the
top ten.
Doiron swapped the
race lead in the early stages of the
event with 14-year-old Reid Lanpher
of Manchester, Maine, wheeling
equipment prepared by Andy Santerre,
a multi-time champion of the NASCAR
K&N Pro Series East. After posting
the fastest lap in the race,
Lanpher’s impressive run was cut
short by a backstretch altercation
after a pit stop put him near the
back of the running order.
Both Rowe and Bryan Kruczek of
Newmarket, New Hampshire battled
Doiron for the top spot through the
early and middle stages of the event
before Shaw had worked his way into
contention with less than 50 laps to
go.
In the 75 lap PASS
Sportsman race Gorham, Maine’s Dan
McKeage – also a former NASCAR Pro
Series track champion at Beech Ridge
– claimed the win.
Former PASS
Sportsman Series kingpin Carey
Martin of North Bridgton crossed the
line in second position. Early-race
challenger Smith claimed a
third-place finish.
Former series champion Mark
Lucas of Harpswell, Maine prevailed
in the 40-lap main event for the
lone Pro All Stars Series open-wheel
class, the PASS Mods.
Eventual second-place finisher Mitch
Miller looked strong at the front of
the field, building healthy leads
after a couple of mid-race restarts,
but the youngster from West
Boylston, Massachusetts couldn’t
outgun Lucas on the final
post-caution square-off.
Mark
Lundblad, Jr. of Albany, New
Hampshire led several laps early in
the event, battling Miller and,
eventually, Lucas for the
trophy-earning spots . Lundblad
crossed under the checkered flag in
third position.
Lovell, Maine
teenager Evan Armington, a former
Beech Ridge Roadrunner division
champion, made an impressive charge
to a fourth-place finish from 15th
position on the starting grid, the
most positions gained in the
40-lapper. Travis Buzzell of Hollis,
Maine raced in as high as
third-place before claiming the
final top-five slot in the rundown.
Ryan Hammer of Pembroke, New
Hampshire aced the NELCAR Legends
Cars finale, coasting to a
comfortable victory in a
caution-free 35-lapper. Concord, New
Hampshire driver Tim Laro chased
Hammer throughout, driving the
winner’s back-up car.
The
entertainer in the non-stop Legends
Cars main event was Newport, Maine
young gun Mathew Bourgoine’s, whose
charge from dead last on the 20-car
grid to claim third-place hardware
without the benefit of a restart was
impressive. Evan Beaulieu of Durham,
Maine raced to a fouth-place finish,
just in front of Westbrook, Maine
youngster John Peters.
Pro
All Stars Series Super Late Models
race next in Quebec, at Autodrome
Chaudiere on Saturday, May 14, with
their next New England appearance
set for Saturday, May 25 at White
Mountain Motorsports Park in North
Woodstock, New Hampshire.
The
PASS Sportsman Series next sees
action on Friday, May 31 at Maine’s
Oxford Plains Speedway. OPS is also
the site for the next PASS Mods
race, set for Friday, May 7. |
