Home Cooking for Max Cookson in
The Spencer Group Paving 150

Joey Pole #4nh and Curtis Gerry #7g, both top notch drivers still searching for their first PASS win on the season as the year is starting to come to a close, brought the field down to the slow green flag. Pole was able to use his pole starting position to lead the first few laps as former Oxford Plains Speedway SLM Champion Alan Tardif #9t charged his way into the second spot.

Caution number one would fly for the Windham native of Rusty Poland #44 as his automobile spun on the front stretch. The second caution would follow just a lap later as Scott McDaniel #14, Colby Benjamin #53bv, and Shawn Knight #25 tangled down in turn one. On the restart Kyle Desouza #1 made his way to the rear bumper of Pole for a moment, but the man on the charge was Max Cookson #39.

The 19-year-old Cookson from Pittsfield in his rookie season ran down Desouza and passed him with relative ease. Already a 3-time Oxford Championship Series winner, Cookson has picked up the 2022 RB Performance SLM Championship and has been a contender in every PASS race he's entered this year. His JM Builders machine worked under the Richard Moody Racing #4nh of Joey Pole on lap 35 to take the lead and begin separating himself from the rest of the field.

However, contact from Rusty Poland #44 with fellow Windham resident Brandon Barker caused the #88 to go for a spin bringing out the third caution of the race just a lap after Cookson stole away the top spot. Last year's October OPS PASS SLM winner Dennis Spencer Jr. #12 moved into the second position trying to backup last years efforts. Spencer pulled up to Cookson's rear bumper and was able to keep relatively close contact for a 63 lap green flag run.

Michael Scorzelli #18 spun on lap 99 bringing the long green flag run to a close. The yellow allowed DJ Shaw #60s and Johnny Clark #54 to close back up to the field as they started sneaking up on the top 5. Cautions of course breed cautions and Steve Chicoine's #01 went for a spin a lap later. setting up a regular 50 lap Saturday Night Feature for Cookson and friends.

On the restart Dennis Spencer slid down to the bottom behind Cookson for 2nd. Curtis Gerry and DJ Shaw were not as fast as Cookson in open track, but Cookson had trouble navigating lap traffic as well as the veterans Gerry and Shaw.

Inside of 10 laps to go you could throw a blanket over the top 3. Feeling the pressure from behind, Cookson moved the lap car of Tardif off the bottom and then tried to do the same with Kyle Salemi. Salemi #63 would spin with just 5 laps to go. In the final sprint Cookson would eek out the win over Curtis Gerry, DJ Shaw, Dennis Spencer Jr. and Johnny Clark.

Max Cookson has now accomplished everything he set out to do at Oxford this season: A top 5 in the Oxford 250, The OPS 2022 Track Championship, 3 weekly wins and now a PASS SLM win in just his 8th tour start.

"I was just trying to hold on and get by lappers. Just so thankful we were able to hold on. This is definitely (my) #1 (achievement so far in racing). I'm ready to get into build mode and get ready for next year".

While Max maybe ready to move on to 2023 the Pro All Stars Series isn't done yet. On Saturday October 29th, 2022 the stars and their cars will be in action for the final event of the season at the New London-Waterford Speedbowl in Connecticut. This will be the PASS's first trip to Waterford with a lot on the line. Ryan Kuhn #72, Eddie MacDonald #17ma and Gabe Brown #50 will all enter the final race with a chance to win the 2022 PASS North title.

Also, in action at Waterford will be the American Canadian Tour (ACT)and the New England Supermodified Series (NESS) - a great event to cap off a fantastic 2022 season.

PASS MODS 2022 CHAMPION: GARRETT LAMB #38

Brandon Varney Scores the PASS MODS Win;
Garrett Lamb the 2022 PASS MODS Champion

The Kennebec Equipment Rental PASS MODS had a 50 Lap event to cap of their 2022 season. Garrett Lamb #38 came in as the points leader by 25 points, but Brandon Varney #1v still had a chance at the PASS MODS Crown, especially after picking up a point in the heat race. Varney needed to win and Garrett Lamb would have to finish 12th or worse for Varney to pull off the upset.

The Championship duo started 11th and 12th on the field while Troy Morse #6 and 5-time PASS MODS Champion Andy Shaw #66 brought the field to the green. Shaw was almost completely sideways exciting turn two, causing the entire field to scatter. Everyone was able to keep it going in the right direction before the #83 of Dan Brown went for a spin, causing the first caution on lap 2.

Alex Ricker #9 had inherited the 2nd spot from Shaw 's #66 just before the caution, but Shaw would quickly take it back and again challenge Troy Morse for the lead. The top three cars pulled away in a hurry from the rest of the field soon to be joined by Garrett Lamb and Brandon Varney.

Knowing he needed a win, Varney sent his car to the second groove and passed the top four in just a matter of laps to take over the lead officially on lap 15. Troy Morse and Andy Shaw battled for the next ten laps for the second spot before Morse and the inside groove would finally prevail. But Shaw may have used up his tires trying to make the move in the second groove as he was then freight-trained well outside of the top 5.

Garrett Lamb and Colby Benjamin #52 were eventually able to make the outside lane work for them as they made their charge to the front with a bakers dozen laps remaining. A caution for Zach Nicholson #21 and Chanler Harrison #85 would bring out the second caution of the event. The third Caution would fly just a lap later for the #10 car of Bill Fiske, setting the field up for another restart.

On the restart Brandon Varney did everything he could and picked up his fourth PASS MODS win on the season. Garrett Lamb did more than enough to win the war by running second on the track and capturing the championship by 22 points. Lamb and Varney both celebrated in Victory Lane after dueling burnouts on the backstretch. Also on the podium was Colby Benjamin, and rounding out the top 5 was Spencer Morse and Alex Ricker.

Jordan Russell Dominates the Street Stocks

It was an all-Jordan front row for the Spaulding Roofing Street Stock's final event of the season as the 2021 Champion Jordan Russell #4 started pole with the 2022 Track Champion Tyson Jordan #17 to his outside.

Russell would quickly pull out to the lead with Richard Spaulding #36 and Joey Israelson #3 following Russell on the inside groove past Tyson.

The 40-lap main event was going by rather quickly until the halfway point when the #17 of Tyson Jordan spun on the front stretch. On the restart Israelson's #3 car was able to power underneath the #36 of Spaulding and take the second position away.

Four more yellows would fly with Spaulding and Israelson swapping positions back and forth on every restart. Ashton Burgess #34 would soon enter the mix with 4 laps to go. After a little bumper tag between the second to 5th place cars Burgess would end the day 5th.

Jordan Russell would dominate the event, leading wire to wire to pick up his sixth win of the season over Spaulding, Israelson, Tyson Jordan and Burgess.
