Griffith Wins the
Aroostook Savings & Loan

Firecracker 200
CARIBOU, MAINE (July 3) -For the first time in eight seasons, the Pro All Stars Series visited the famed 1/3-mile Spud Speedway in Caribou, ME. The track had not seen stock car racing since September of 2015, meaning fans were excited to see short track racing return to the county.

Twenty-one of the best in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic made the trek to Spud Speedway for the Aroostook Savings and Loan Firecracker 200, a "Road to Oxford and Richmond" qualifier event. Two drivers were unable to make the start of the event. Kyle DeSouza of Williamston, SC had a hard wreck late in practice which saw his car slide into the tire barrier in the first turn and roll violently before coming to a stop. The driver would be okay thanks to the quick response of safety crews. Local racer, Tharren MacDougall also made an attempt to qualify for the event but was unable to join the field for the start of the 200-lap feature.

Following three quick heat races won by Derek Griffith, Cole Butcher and Travis Benjamin, all of whom were relegated to 11th through 13th feature starting spots under the PASS rules (any prior race winner cannot start better than 10th for the remainder of the year), Garrett Hall and Kyle Reid would inherit the front row.

Polesitter Garrett Hall jumped out to the early lead before Ben Rowe took over the top spot on Lap 10. Contact between the two drivers resulted in a cut tire on Rowe's No. 4 machine. Hall would retake the lead on Lap 12 before a hard-charging DJ Shaw took the lead on Lap 61. Shaw would lead until Lap 127 when Derek Griffith would take over for a short time. Shaw would take the lead back on Lap 133 and keep control until Lap 170 when Griffith retook the lead and held on for the checkers, with an overheating Tyngsboro Motors Chevrolet. Shaw and Griffith would be the class of the field out front for most of the event, only facing a challenge from Eddie MacDonald and Cassius Clark late in the event. Shaw held on for 2nd with Cassius Clark besting Eddie MacDonald for 3rd. Mike Hopkins of Hermon, ME would round out the top 5.

Street Stock racing would be the undercard with Bryan Robbins dominating the 30-lap event over Jeff Alley and Jordan Pearson. Robbins locked himself into the Ikey Dorr Memorial Street Stock race at Speedway 95, set to run in October.

The final event on the night was the 50-lap enduro which provided a few fireworks of its own. With red flags for a rollover and two cars on fire, the event was a crowd pleaser. When the checkers flew, it was Oxford Plains Speedway regular Josh Knoll who would take the winner's trophy and purse back to Wells, ME. Rounding out the top five were local racers Derek Pearson, Wayne Fox, Jr., James Goodman, and Del Brissette.

The PASS North Super Late Models will hit the track again on Saturday July 7th at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway for the PASS 150. Racing begins at 7:00 pm for the PASS North Super Late Models, PASS Mods, Sports Series , and Wildcats.

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 and PASS South's Easter Bunny 150 and the inaugural PASS Commonwealth Classic at Richmond Raceway in October.
