Seekonk,
Massachusetts - Travis
Benjamin did all that he
could do in his quest for a
third Pro All Stars Series
North Super Late Model
championship, winning the
season-ending 150-lapper at
Seekonk Speedway. A
seventh-place finish turned
in by defending champion DJ
Shaw proved to be enough to
hold off Benjamin's rally in
the title bout. It is the
third PASS North Super Late
Model championship for Shaw,
his family team and chief
supporters Julio & Rita
Miglioli.
Benjamin
was at his best on the tight
Seekonk oval, winning his
heat race to cut Shaw's lead
entering the main event.
Benjamin patiently worked
his way from the back half
of the starting grid,
battling both regular PASS
rivals and ultra-competitive
weekly Pro Stock division
competitors from the
historic Bay State oval
track.
Seekonk
regular Ryan Vanasse led a
huge chunk of the race,
building a healthy advantage
at times, but when Benjamin
turned up the wick there was
no one who could keep pace
and he cruised into victory
lane with the Petit
Motorsports 7 for the second
time this season.
Reid Lanpher of Manchester,
Maine ended up in second
position following an
eventful afternoon. Lanpher
won the biggest 'open' race
of the season for the weekly
Pro Stocks at Seekonk
earlier this season. Nick
Sweet of Barre, Vermont
raced hard with the leaders
throughout the 150-lap race
to earn third-place hardware
exactly one month after
posting his first PASS North
Super Late Model win.

Oxford, Maine - Reid
Lanpher of Manchester, Maine
nailed down his second Pro
All Stars Series North Super
Late Model victory of the
season Sunday afternoon at
Oxford Plains Speedway.
Lanpher, who started
11th, needed nearly the
entire race to chase down
six-time PASS North champion
Johnny Clark of Farmingdale,
Maine and take the race
lead. Clark, who led the
first 138 circuits in the
150-lap race, managed to
hang on to second place
after dominating most of the
rain-delayed event.
The championship battle
remained tight atop the PASS
North points standings, with
reigning series champion and
2018 leader DJ Shaw of
Center Conway, New Hampshire
just one spot better than
his closest championship
rival, Travis Benjamin of
Morrill, Maine, another
former series champion.
Ben Tinker of New
Gloucester wrapped up his
second consecutive PASS Mods
championship with a
sixth-place finish in a car
usually driven by Patrick
Sullivan. Tinker's car was
destroyed in a vicious crash
a couple of weeks previously
which ended the season for a
couple of other competitors.
The champion expressed a
desire to move up into the
Super Late Model ranks next
season.

off Quebec competitor and
fellow former Milk Bowl
winner Patrick Laperle in an
outstanding 150-lap Pro All

highlighting Northfield

Speedbowl in Barre, Vermont.
Sweet, a two-time track
champion at the high-banked,
1/4-mile oval, spent the
opening portion of the race
chasing Jeremy Davis of
Tamworth, New Hampshire.
Sweet claimed the race lead
on the 36th circuit, setting
the pace until current PASS
North Super Late Model
points leader DJ Shaw of
Center Conway, New Hampshire
took control with 50 laps
remaining.
Laperle,
always at his best when the
ante rises on the racetrack,
moved in and battled Shaw,
swapping the lead as Sweet
regrouped for his final
charge. A late restart
allowed Sweet to move by
Shaw and back into
contention, and after racing
just about side by side for
the final 20 laps Sweet got
to the finish line just
ahead of Laperle with Shaw,
the reigning PASS North
Super Late Model champion,
third across the stripe.

Gary Smith at Beech

Scarborough, Maine
-- Gary Smith of Bangor
claimed his second career
Pro All Stars Series Super
Late Model win, and his
first-ever Beech Ridge Motor
Speedway victory, in the
150-lap main event at the
historic Scarborough, Maine
racetrack on Sunday
afternoon.
Smith,
62, was ecstatic after
outrunning his chassis
builder, nine-time Oxford
Plains Speedway champion
Jeff Taylor of Farmington,
to the checkered flag. The
victory knocked an important
entry off his bucket list.
Smith joins a small list of
Maine racers who have won
premiere division events at
all six modern-era asphalt
racetracks in their home
state.
Smith chased
Westbrook's John Peters in
the early stages of the
race, and once in front he
was never seriously
challenged, although it
looked for a short while
like former Beech Ridge
champion Reid Lanpher of
Manchester might provide a
test, but a spin after some
contact took Lanpher out of
contention for the victory
while battling Taylor for
second spot.
Taylor
managed to hang on to second
position in just his second
appearance this year behind
the wheel. Curtis Gerry of
Waterboro, Maine rebounded
from a bad heat race and
almost going a lap down to
Smith in the middle stages
of the race to claim a
third-place finish.
Scarborough's Garrett Hall
arced among the contenders
throughout the 150-lapper to

|
Oxford, Maine -- Bubba
Pollard showed New England
race fans that the
reputation preceding him to
the 45th Annual
Clark’s Scrap Metal Oxford
250 was much more than hype,
winning the biggest one-day
short track Super Late Model
race in his first attempt
Sunday at Oxford Plains
Speedway. Pollard,
from Senoia, Georgia, got
his first look at the
Speedway on Friday.
The
definition of a true Super
Late Model racing outlaw,
Pollard, 31, convinced New
England race fans that he’s
clearly among the best short
track racers in North
America, conquering the
unique Oxford Plains
Speedway racetrack in his
first attempt. Pollard
took the lead away from
Travis Benjamin of Belfast,
a two-time Oxford 250
champion in his own right,
then outran another former
250 champion, Joey
Polewarczyk, Jr. of Hudson,
New Hampshire to the
checkered flag.
Reid
Lanpher of Manchester made a
late charge into third
position during the closing
laps. Scarborough’s

the race from his pole
starting position, earning
some $20,00-plus with lap

Curtis Gerry of Waterboro
continued his recent
dominance of Oxford Plains
Speedway Pro All Stars
Series North competition,
outrunning Cassius Clark of
Farmington and the rest of a
35-car starting field to
claim victory in Sunday's
150-lap Super Late Model
feature race.
For
Gerry it was a fourth
consecutive victory in Pro
All Stars Series North
competition at Oxford Plains
Speedway, a streak that
began with the 44th Annual
Oxford 250 last August. It
was also a series-best
fourth PASS North victory of
the season, including a
200-lap score at
Scarborough's Beech Ridge
Motor Speedway.
Gerry
started the race from 11th
position and methodically
raced his way into
contention while Cassius
Clark set a blistering early
pace aboard Rollie
MacDonald's King Racing
ride. Gerry made the most of
a couple of late-race
restarts to outgun Clark in
the late going. Clark

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

Griffith Wins the

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.

Tracy Gordon earns

with
100-lap PASS Super
Late Model Open score |
Oxford, Maine -
Tracy Gordon of Strong
nailed down his first Super
Late Model victory in
several years, earning a
guaranteed starting spot in
the rich Oxford 250 with a
100-lap PASS Open race
victory at Oxford Plains
Speedway on Sunday night.
Gordon, the 1991 track
champion, said "Wayne
Helliwell won this race two
years ago and then won the
250, and I told my guys
before the race that's what
we're gonna do."
Gordon, who had great
success with the old NASCAR
Busch North Series and other
touring groups after his
championship campaign at
OPS, has raced thousands of
laps at the Route 26
speedplant in his
three-decade-plus racing
career - a resume that
surely would shine more
brightly with a big 250
trophy on it.
Gordon
began the 100-lap PASS open
race from ninth starting
position and did most of his
work in impressive fashion
from the tough outside
groove, seemingly trying to
dial in his machine for the
big-money 250 coming up on
Sunday, August 26.

until Lap 23 when caution
would fly for the second
time of the event for the
cars of Dylan Gosbee, Chris
Duncan, and Shawn Turple who
got collected in turns 3 &

a diverse group of tracks in
both PASS North and PASS
South, that will determine
an overall PASS National
Champion. The PASS National
Championship Series will see
the champion crowned in the
final race of the 2018
season at Hickory Motor
Speedway in the 13th Annual
Mason-Dixon Meltdown 200.
And, for the first time
ever, the PASS National
Championship Series will
visit Richmond Raceway in
Virginia to headline the
inaugural Commonwealth
Classic on October 19-20.
Additionally, the Spring's
most prestigious short track
race in the country, the
13th Annual Easter Bunny 150
at Hickory Motor Speedway,
will now see the top three
finishers get guaranteed
starting spots, not only for
the 45th Annual Oxford 250
at Oxford Plains Speedway,
but also for the
Commonwealth Classic at
Richmond.
Since
2008, some of the best short
track racers in North
America have captured the
PASS National Championship
including Cassius Clark, Ben
Rowe, Preston Peltier, Jay
Fogleman, and Joey Doiron.
While awards are currently
still being finalized, the
champion will once again
receive a one-of-a-kind
championship trophy
featuring the American Bald
Eagle. Additional awards
will be announced at a later
date.
"11 years ago,
with our presence across the
Eastern Seaboard and Canada,
we felt the time was right
to crown Super Late Model
racing's only National
champion," said PASS
President Tom Mayberry.
"This is probably the most
diverse schedule we've ever
put together with tracks of
varying sizes and shapes to
compete on. The Oxford 250
continues to be one of the
crown jewels of short track
racing. And, the addition of
Richmond, will put all the
competitors on a neutral
site for the first time. "
The PASS National
Championship Series, along
with the 2018 PASS South
championship season, gets
underway in just one month
with the 13th Annual South
Carolina Clash at Dillon
Motor Speedway in South
Carolina on February 24.
Fans will get to see drivers
from across the spectrum of
short track racing as the
PASS Super Late Models will
race for 200 laps and $6,000
to win and $700 to start,
plus a major event for the
Dillon Motor Speedway
SuperTrucks paying $1000 to
win and a UCAR/FWD race
paying $500 to win as part
of the South
Carolina
Clash.
From Dillon
Motor Speedway in February,
the 2018 PASS National
Championship Series will
kick off the New England
racing season and will be
contested again at one of
the fastest tracks in the
country. The PASS Super Late
Models will compete for 75
laps at Thompson Speedway
Motorsports Park in
Connecticut as part of the
annual Icebreaker weekend
April 7-8, along with the
NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour.
The Icebreaker will also
once again double as the
PASS North Super Late Model
championship season opener.
The PASS National
Championship Series will
stay in New England for
perhaps the most legendary
of all short track races.
The 45th Annual Oxford 250
at Maine's Oxford Plains
Speedway on August 26 will
continue a tradition that
started in 1974 and has seen
such winners as Butch
Lindley, Geoff Bodine,
Junior Hanley, Ricky Craven,
Kevin Harvick, and Kyle
Busch. And, with one of the
richest purses in all of
Super Late Model racing, the
Oxford 250 should once again
attract North America's best
drivers, all competing for
the $25,000 winner's share,
plus an additional $25,000
in lap leader money. The
2017 winner, Waterboro, ME's
Curtis Gerry, bested over 60
other drivers to claim over
$30,000 for his first win in
the prestigious race.
The Fall will be busy
with the PASS National
Championship moving South
for the final three events
of the season. The PASS
Super Late Models will
headline the inaugural PASS
Commonwealth Classic at
Richmond Raceway on Saturday
night, October 20. The PASS
Super Late Models will
compete in a 100-lap event
on the famed three-quarter
mile oval, paying $10,000 to
win and $700 to start.
Additionally, Late Model
Stocks will return to
Richmond Raceway for the
first time in a number of
years, competing in a 75 lap
race, paying $7,000 to win
and $700 to start. Both the
Limited Late Models and
Street Stocks will make
their first ever starts at
Richmond Raceway with the
Limiteds racing for 50 laps
and $4000 to win and the
Street Stocks racing for 25
laps and $2000 to win.
Finally, the PASS
National Championship Series
will conclude just one week
later with the 13th Annual
Mason-Dixon Meltdown 200 on
Saturday, November 10 at the
legendary Hickory Motor
Speedway. The 200 lap
contest will once again
crown both the PASS National
Championship Series and PASS
South Super Late Model
champions.
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 PASS
South's Easter Bunny 150 at
the historic Hickory Motor
Speedway and the legendary
Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains
Speedway, and new for 2018,
the inaugural Commonwealth
Classic at Richmond Raceway.

officials announced the

will celebrate our 18th year
of sanctioning races
throughout the United States
and Canada and we're glad to
begin new partnerships,
while continuing to build on
old ones. The Oxford 250 has
found a home with its August

we're glad to continue that
tradition in 2018."
The 45th Annual Oxford 250
will continue as one of the
crown jewel events in short

from all across North
America set to compete for
$25,000 to win, plus
guaranteed lap leader money
on August 24-26. The 250
will again cap off a full

Maine's biggest sporting
