Reid Lanpher dominant in PASS
Super Late Model 150-lapper at
Beech Ridge Motor Speedway
Scarborough, Maine - Reid Lanpher of Manchester nailed down his first Pro All Stars Series North Super Late Model victory of the season Saturday night, dominating the non-stop, 150-lap event.

Lanpher, who had posted three runner-up finishes in six PASS North starts earlier this year, stalked an intense battle between Trevor Sanborn and Garrett Hall through the opening stages of the race before driving around the competition to win by almost five seconds.

Closest to Lanpher under the checkered flag was Curtis Gerry of Waterboro, like winner Lanpher a recent track champion at the venerable Scarborough speedplant. Gerry's second-place finish snapped a four-race win streak he had amassed in part-time PASS North competition, a streak that got underway at last year's rich Oxford 250.

Sanborn, of East Parsonsfield, raced with the leaders throughout the ultra-quick event and earned a third-place finish. Sanborn also turned in the fastest lap in the race while battling with Hall for the early race lead. Mike Rowe, the 67-year-old Maine and New England Racing Hall of Famer from Turner, made all of the kids earn their finishes while crossing the finish line in fourth position.

Two-time PASS North champion DJ Shaw of Center Conway, New Hampshire claimed a fifth-place finish after starting the 150-lap race from 13th position. Shaw, who entered the action on top of the PASS North Super Late Model championship points standings, padded his advantage slightly with that run.

Sixth-place finisher Brandon Barker of Windham was the final racer in the finishing order able to remain on the le4ad lap with high-flying winner Lanpher. Justin Drake of Burnham, Scarborough's Hall, Billy Rodgers of Old Orchard Beach and Cassius Clark of Farmington rounded out the top ten.

Ben Tinker of New Gloucester stayed atop the PASS Mods rankings with his third victory of the season in his 40-lap main event. Tinker, the defending champion on the touring series, rebounded from an uncharacteristic spin off turn two, as well as a minor brush against the concrete backstretch wall en route to victory lane.

Tinker took the lead away from Bruce Helmuth of Wales, who was seeking his second consecutive win. Helmuth settled for runner-up honors, with Austin Teras of Gray racing from the back of the pack into third position in just his second PASS Mods race. Adam Gray of Belchertown, Massachusetts was the fourth-place finisher, just ahead of Freeport's Jariet Harrison.


The next event for both the Pro All Stars Series North Super Late Models and the PASS Mods will be contested at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine on Sunday, July 29th. For more information visit proallstarsseries.com or call (207) 539-8865.

Beech Ridge Next On Tap For
PASS North Stars This Saturday
NAPLES, ME (July 5) - After a weekend that saw several drivers punch their tickets to the 45th Annual Oxford 250 and to the Commonwealth Classic at Richmond Raceway, a full field of Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North Super Late Models and PASS Modifieds will be back on track this Saturday night at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway.

While four drivers are currently within 100 points of PASS North championship leader, DJ Shaw, it is another Granite State speedster that is making his presence known as the summer heats up.

As the only PASS Super Late Model driver to claim wins above and below the Mason-Dixon line this year, Derek Griffith has established himself as one of the top short track drivers in the country in 2018. Not only did his win at Spud Speedway on Tuesday night get him a guaranteed starting spot for the PASS Commonwealth Classic at Richmond Raceway in October, but it also thrust him right into the middle of the race for the championship. The win helped Griffith bypass former PASS North champion, Travis Benjamin, into second in the standings, now just 10 points behind Shaw. Although his season has been stellar, two of Maine's most famous tracks have been his undoing so far this year.

"I guess the win at Spud kind of gets us back in contention for the championship," says Griffith, driver of the LCM Motorsports Chevrolet #12. "We've had good runs all year it seems besides Beech Ridge and Oxford. Hopefully we can turn that around on Saturday night."

The biggest challenge for the PASS North regulars this weekend could be from defending Oxford 250 winner, Curtis Gerry. Gerry is on an unbelievable six-race win streak in PASS at Beech Ridge and Oxford. Former PASS North and Beech Ridge champion, Mike Rowe, will also be among the contenders on Saturday night. A strong field is setting up which will also include Garrett Hall, Gabe Brown, JT Thurlow, Kyle Welch, and John Peters.

Action gets under way on Saturday afternoon with rotating practice for all competing divisions starting at 3 PM and racing for the PASS North Super Late Models and PASS Modifieds beginning at 7 PM.

PASS Super Late Model entry forms for Oxford Plains Speedway and Orange County Speedway, along with the 45th Annual Oxford 250 and inaugural PASS Commonwealth Classic, can be found at ProAllStarsSeries.com.

The Pro All Stars Series is recognized as North America's premier sanctioning body for asphalt Super Late Models and boasts such marquee events as the legendary Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway, PASS South's Easter Bunny 150 at the historic Hickory Motor Speedway and the PASS Commonwealth Classic at Richmond Raceway.
