DJ Shaw Takes PASS North Super Late Model Championship Lead with Speedway 95 Victory

Hermon, ME - DJ Shaw of Center Conway, New Hampshire drove to an impressive victory Sunday afternoon in the 150-lap Pro All Stars Series North Super Late Model main event at Speedway 95 in Hermon, Maine.

Shaw took the race lead a lap before the halfway point, charging back into contention aboard the Precision JLM 60 after restarting from the rear of the field following a pit stop with only 15 laps completed.

Six-time Pro All Stars Series North champion Johnny Clark of Farmingdale set sail in front of the Super Late Model field and looked strong over the course of the event's opening half, seeking his first win of the year.

Hometown Hermon racer Mike Hopkins also worked his way past Clark and made a valiant effort to chase down Shaw, which fell short by some four seconds under the checkered flag. Derek Griffith of Hudson, New Hampshire had to settle for third position in his quest for a second consecutive PASS North Super Late Model win at Speedway 95.

Clark prevailed in a spirited battle with defending PASS North champion Travis Benjamin of Morrill for fourth position. Sixth-place finisher Garrett Hall of Scarborough was the final driver able to complete all 150 laps. Unoficially, Shaw moved into the championship points standings lead by one point over Benjamin.

Gary Shackford of Center Conway, New Hampshire raced to his second PASS Mods victory of the season. Shackford chased Hancock's Brian Treadwell for most of the 40-lap race before prevailing on a late-race restart to claim victory.

Treadwell had earlier yielded the lead to points leader and defending champion Ben Tinker, but three laps later Tinker slid off the racetrack and handed the lead back to Treadwell. As Shackford cruised under the checkered flag, Waterboro's Billy Dixon made a late move into second position.

Despite pounding the frontstretch wall on the final lap, Treadwell was credited with a third-place finish in the Mod main event. Tinker rebounded for a fourth place, ahead of Wales competitor Bruce Helmuth.

Tyler King of Gray aced the Father's Day Street Stock special, delighting Papa Scott and Grandpa Joe King as the driver anxiously awaits the arrival of his first child. King, a three-time winner earlier this season at Oxford Plains Speedway, cruised to victory after outgunning local favorite and early race leader Jordan Pearson of Thorndike.

Pearson was able to maintain second position after King went by for good. Veteran racer Kenny Harrison of Durham earned third-place hardware. Jordan Russell of Norway and another early contender, Andrew Breton of Greene, rounded out the top five.

The next Points-counting Pro All Stars Series North Super Late Model race is scheduled for Tuesday night, July 3 at Spud Speedway in Caribou, Maine. On Sunday, July 1 Oxford Plains Speedway hosts a 100-lap, non-points PASS Super Late Model race offering up guaranteed starting positions in the rich, 45th Annual Oxford 250, scheduled for Sunday, August 26.

After Rare Weekend Off, PASS North Returns To Action At Speedway 95

NAPLES, ME (June 12) - Following a trip to Canada and an off weekend, the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North Super Late Models return to U.S. soil to compete at Speedway 95 in Hermon, ME on Sunday afternoon. The speedway known as "Maine's Family Fun Track" will host race number eight of the 2018 season for New England's top Super Late Model stars.

Currently, former series champions, Travis Benjamin and DJ Shaw, along with New Hampshire's, Derek Griffith, are locked in a tight three-way battle for the PASS North title. But, sitting not far behind in fourth is Scarborough, ME's, Garrett Hall. While still winless so far this year, Hall is quite familiar with Speedway 95, having won this event there just two years ago.

"The track is bumpy, fast and fun," says Hall, driver of the Norm's Used Cars Chevrolet #94. "The high side has a little more banking on it and you can keep your momentum going up there."

Sitting just 54 markers behind the points leader, Benjamin, Hall believes this weekend at Speedway 95, and the races leading up to the 45th Annual Oxford 250 in August, are pivotal to make up ground to the front runners for the championship.

"It's really important because the competition is so tough and there's 10 cars that can win every week," says Hall. "We're hoping to turn things around and get a win on Sunday at Speedway 95."

While much of the attention will be on the points leaders, the leading PASS winner at Speedway 95 with three wins, Ben Rowe, will also be looking to return to victory lane there for the first time in 15 years. Chad Dow, Gary Smith, and Wyatt Alexander have also filed entries as they look to join the 2018 group of PASS North race winners.

All the action gets under way on Sunday morning at Speedway 95 with rotating practice for all competing divisions from 11 AM - 1 PM, followed by heat races and features beginning at 1:30 PM for the PASS North Super Late Models, PASS Modifieds, and Street Stocks.

PASS Super Late Model entry forms for upcoming events at Oxford Plains Speedway, Spud Speedway, and Beech Ridge Motor Speedway, along with the 45th Annual Oxford 250 and Inaugural Commonwealth Classic at Richmond Raceway, 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 and PASS South's Easter Bunny 150 and the inaugural PASS Commonwealth Classic at Richmond Raceway in October.
