Oxford, Maine - Glen Luce of Turner earned a trip to victory lane the hard way, driving from 29th starting position to victory lane Saturday on Pro All Stars Series North Super Late Model Championship Day at Oxford Plains Speedway. Luce ran afoul of tech inspectors after a heat race and was forced to the consolation rounds, where he charged from the back of the field to finish fifth. He made most of his progress during a 100-plus lap green flag stretch in the remarkably-competitive race. Luce took the lead away from Travis Benjamin, the HP Hood Oxford 250 runner-up this year, after Benjamin looked like the man to beat. Benjamin had started from 11th position, and it took quite awhile for the 7 to chase down nine-time track champion Jeff Taylor of Farmington, clearly the dominant force as the race first unfolded. *FULL RACE PAGE with RESULTS/PHOTOS HERE*

Joey Polewarczyk nails down
third PASS North victory in
Make A Wish 150 at Star Speedway

Epping, New Hampshire - Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. of Hudson, New Hampshire earned his third Pro All Stars Series North Super Late Model victory of the season Friday night in the twice-postponed Make A Wish 150 at Star Speedway in Epping, New Hampshire.

Probably better known near and far as 'Joey Pole Junior,' Polewarczyk started the race in 13th position, methodically working his way through the field to take the lead away from Joey Doiron of Berwick, Maine in the JBJ Machine 73. Doiron had led most of the 150-lap race after taking the lead away from early leader Todd Stone of Middlebury, Vermont at the event's quarter pole.

A late-race restart erased a healthy lead held by Doiron, then Polewarczyk took command. In the closing laps Travis Benjamin of Morrill, Maine made a late charge that came up just about a car-length short aboard the 99 Restaurants car. Doiron crossed the line in third position.

Six-time PASS Super Late Model champion Johnny Clark scores first win of the year at White Mountain Motorsports Park

North Woodstock, New Hampshire - Johnny Clark of Farmingdale, Maine led all 150 laps to earn his first Pro All Stars Series Super Late Model win of the season in Saturday night's Foley Oil & Propane 150 at White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, New Hampshire.

It was the first victory of the season for the six-time series champion, who ranks second in the current championship standings behind 2014 titlist DJ Shaw, who finished 11th. Clark is the 11th driver to score a PASS North Super Late Model victory this year. No driver has more than two wins after 14 of 16 events have been contested.

Clark, sponsored by the family-owned clarksscrapmetals.com chain, became the first competitor this season to lead every lap in a Pro All Stars Series North Super Late Model contest. Reigning Series champion Mike Rowe of Turner, Maine made things interesting throughout the 150-lapper, successfully protecting second position until turning up the heat on Clark following the race's final restart with ten laps to go.

Travis Benjamin scores PASS Super Late Model win at Beech Ridge Championship leader DJ Shaw is runner-up - Nick Sweet dominant in ACT Late Models
Scarborough, Maine -- Travis Benjamin was smiling on the podium following his triumph in the Southern Maine Chrysler Dodge Jeep 150 Pro All Stars Series Super Late Model race at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough Saturday. Benjamin, of Morrill, could not even force a smile the last time he was a top-three finisher driving the Huot's Restaurant / 99 Restaurants Petit Motorsports 7, after finishing behind Wayne Helliwell after leading the most laps in last month's HP Hood Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway. On this day it was Benjamin who prevailed, with only DJ Shaw of Center Conway, New Hampshire able to keep the eventual winner honest while driving his Precision JLM 60. Shaw's runner-up finish certainly did no damage to his perch atop the Pro All Stars Series Super Late Model Championship standings. *FULL RACE PAGE with RESULTS/PHOTOS HERE*

"I can't believe it, the way we've run at Oxford in the past, I can't believe how this team has turned this around," the winner exclaimed in victory lane. Longtime Oxford Plains Speedway and Ford fans were ecstatic to see the orange 27 with the Dion Brother Racing throwback paint scheme in victory lane, especially with Roger Dion on hand helping Bernhardt Motorsports effort.

PASS Super Late Model rookie Derek Griffith triumphant in 150-lapper at Lee USA Speedway First win for 19-year-old is final series race before 43rd HP Hood Oxford 250 August 28
Lee, New Hampshire - Pro All Stars Series rookie Derek Griffith of Hudson nailed down his first victory on the region's premier Super Late Model circuit, scoring near home in Friday night's 150-lap race at Lee USA Speedway in Lee, New Hampshire. Griffith was impressive aboard the Louie Mechalides-prepared racecar, chasing former Thompson Speedway Super Late Model champ Derek Ramstrom for the first 50-plus laps, swapping the lead with the West Boylston, Massachusetts native for most of the remaining laps before pulling away from his rivals during the final handful of laps. Ramstrom claimed runner-up honors after an entertaining, late-race battle with six-time PASS champion Johnny Clark of Farmingdale, Maine. Clark started the race in tenth position and crossed the finish line third behind Griffith and Ramstrom, remaining a serious threat to claim his seventh series title. *FULL RACE PAGE with RESULTS/PHOTOS HERE*

*Re: The Finish of the PASS Super Late Model race at Oxford Plains Speedway on July 31, 2016* After viewing multiple videos and photographs and discussing it with both race teams, we decided that it was a dead heat finish. A video taken 32 feet behind the start finish line shows the 97 car possibly slightly ahead but a shot from this angle will always favor the outside car. After talking to many people, whose opinions varied equally and after trying to recreate the finish the best possible way with photos of vehicles taken at the finish line from several different angles, we have decided to call it a dead heat finish. *We are sorry for the confusion to the fans and race teams. We’ll look to improve video angles for the 250.*

Oxford, Maine - Wayne Helliwell, Jr. of Dover, New Hampshire prevailed by inches in a thrilling HP Hood 150 Pro All Stars Series Super Late Model race Sunday night at Oxford Plains Speedway. Helliwell just managed to edge out Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. of Hudson, New Hampshire after an epic battle over the last dozen circuits of the 150-lap race. Polewarczyk led most of the event's second half, looking for his second straight PASS Super Late Model win after his career-first score at White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, New Hampshire seven days earlier. But Helliwell had other ideas, methodically working his way into contention from an 18th starting position to set up the late-race showdown with 12th-place starter Polewarczyk. They raced side-by-side for most of the last twelve laps, swapping lanes midway through the battle. *FULL RACE PAGE with RESULTS/PHOTOS HERE*

Super Late Model Win in Foley Oil 150
at White Mountain Motorsports Park

North Woodstock, New Hampshire - Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. of Hudson nailed down his first-ever Pro All Stars Super Late Model victory Sunday afternoon in the Foley Oil 150 at White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, New Hampshire.

Polewarczyk certainly earned his trip to victory lane, working tirelessly in an effort to get by six-time PASS Super Late Model champion Johnny Clark of Farmingdale, Maine. Clark, seeking his first victory of the year, led most of the race before Polewarczyk took command for good.

Polewarczyk and Clark waged a tremendous, extended battle that included the eventual winner 'giving back' the lead when he was adjudged to have jumped the gun on a restart versus Clark. The six-time series titlist wouldn't make it easy for Polewarczyk, as he seeks to snap an extended dry spell on the circuit.

POLEWARCZYK - BENJAMIN - HALL

Benjamin gets first PASS win
this year in Southern Maine
Chrysler Dodge Jeep 150

Scarborough, Maine - Travis Benjamin of Morrill nailed down his first Pro All Stars Series North Super Late Model win of the season Tuesday night at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway's Southern Maine Chrysler Dodge Jeep 150. It was the first victory for Benjamin with the Pettit Motorsports team he joined this season.

Benjamin was in control both early and late in the 150-lap event, battling several competitors for position through the middle stages of the race. At the end it was hometown Scarborough racer Garrett Hall pushing Benjamin across the finish line, falling just short of claiming his third win this year on the series.

Both Hall and third-place finisher Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. of Hudson, New Hampshire mounted serious challenges to Benjamin's lead, especially on restarts. Former Beech Ridge track champion Dave Farrington Jr. of Jay led a healthy portion of the race, looking like a serious threat to score his first-ever PASS triumph en route to a fourth-place finish.

Squeglia outgunned fellow front row starter Eddie MacDonald of Rowley, Massachusetts for the early lead, battled series regular Bryan Kruczek through the middle stages of the 150-lapper, then outran former series champion Travis Benjamin of Morrill, Maine to the checkered flag. It was clearly the biggest career win for one of the happiest winners to claim top honors in recent PASS North Series history. Benjamin was closing as the laps ran out, finishing 1.67 seconds behind the winner after starting the race from 15th position. Hermon, Maine's Mike Hopkins drove from his 12th starting position to a third-place finish in his first-ever visit to New Hampshire's Center of Speed. *FULL RACE PAGE with RESULTS/PHOTOS HERE*

Hopkins Leads All 150 Laps
for First PASS SLM Victory

Epping, NH (May 21) - On a night that fulfilled the full moon superstition, Hermon, Maine driver Mike Hopkins dominated the 22 car field at Star Speedway to pick up his first career Pro All Stars Series super late model win in the Support 50 Legs PASS 150. By virtue of his win in heat race #1, Hopkins would start on the pole for the feature event and would lead all 150 laps.

In a race that saw the caution fly seven times (Laps 5, 60, 64, 82, 96, 142, and 148), Hopkins was able to take the lead on each and every re-start. Hopkins would be challenged on the green/white/checker finish by Jay, Maine driver Dave Farrington, Jr. The two drivers traded paint when the field went green, but Hopkins was able to hold off Farrington for the win.

Scarborough, Maine racer
first repeat victor this year

Hermon, Maine - Garrett Hall of Scarborough charged into contention from his sixth row starting position, battling his way to victory lane Sunday in a rain-plagued 150-lap Pro All Stars Series Super Late Model race that went the scheduled distance at Speedway 95 in Hermon.

Hall, who said he was told the track "was flat and bumpy" had never seen the track prior to Sunday's event. After several rain delays interrupted practice sessions and qualifying races, weather continued to threaten, so Hall - starting back in the field as a previous 2016 race winner on the series, wasted little time making his way through the field on the tight track.

Hall battled hometown racer Mike Hopkins midway through the 150-lap for the lead, and Hopkins appeared to be the man to beat until Hall emerged from the pack. Hudson, New Hampshire teenager Derek Griffith got by Hopkins late in the race to claim runner-up honors, and the second time he was closest to Hall under the checkered flag.

Scarborough, Maine -- DJ Shaw of Center Conway, New Hampshire drove from third position to first on a restart with four laps remaining in Saturday's Southern Maine Chrysler Jeep Dodge 150 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway to nail down his first Pro All Stars Series Super Late Model win of the season.

Shaw, the 2014 PASS North Super Late Model champion, watched Doiron blast on by earlier in the race after the Berwick, Maine driver, and eventual runner-up, charged from his 14th starting position into a lead threatened only by hometown racer Garrett Hall - the opening day PASS Super Late Model winner at Connecticut's Thompson Speedway - until the final pair of restarts took place, with six and four laps remaining, respectively.

Oxford, Maine -- Ben Rowe of Turner edged DJ Shaw of Center Conway, New Hampshire by a razor-thin margin of .023-seconds in a wild, and wildly-competitive, Speedway Homes 150 for Pro All Stars Series Super Late Models on Sunday at Oxford Plains Speedway. "I've got to thank (new crew chief) Mickey Green for coming on board," Rowe said in victory lane, greeted by a decidedly mixed reaction from a very vocal crowd after the race. "I haven't had a top ten finish here in about five years - it was in the paper - and Mickey and his guys got us back on the right track, and my spotter (Steve Tapley) did a great job today." Rowe started 27th, and had methodically worked his way into third position behind Bryan Kruczek of Newmarket, New Hampshire and Dan McKeage of Gorham after McKeage had led almost the entire race to that point. Rowe found an opening under Kruczek as they headed into turn one on a restart, and contact between the two as Kruczek tried to close the hole saw him bounce into McKeage, who was forced three-wide to the outside, costing him several positions. *FULL RACE PAGE with RESULTS/PHOTOS HERE*

Garrett Hall Wins PASS Super
Late Model Race at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park
First-ever touring series victory for
young racer from Scarborough, Maine

Thompson, Connecticut -- Garrett Hall of Scarborough, Maine nailed down his first-ever Pro All Stars Series Super Late Model victory in the 75-lap season opener for the PASS North Tour, also offering National Championship points, Sunday afternoon at Connecticut's Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park.

Hall, driving his Quinn's Insulation car, numbered 94, outgunned early race leader Trevor Sanborn of East Parsonsfield, Maine midway through the race to claim the top spot after an extended, spirited battle. He then held off a determined challenge from Hudson, New Hampshire's Derek Griffith, aboard the LCM Racing 12, to post the win.

Hall, a 21-year-old competitor who prior to this season spent almost his entire racing career on relatively-flat, third-mile ovals in his home state, credited a February trip to Florida's New Smyrna Speedway with helping himself and the team to dial the car in on New England's biggest and fastest oval short track.

"We would have never been able to do this without that trip to New Smyrna, even though we didn't run well there," Hall said in victory lane after thanking his crew, family and sponsors.-
