Travis Benjamin Prevails in
PASS North Super Late
Model
Thriller at Star
Speedway |
Epping, NH -
Defending Pro All Stars
Series North Super Late
Model champion Travis
Benjamin of Belfast, Maine
nailed down his first race
victory of the season,
prevailing in a close battle
versus Reid Lanpher to earn
top honors in Saturday
night's Support 50 Legs 150
at Star Speedway in Epping,
New Hampshire.
Benjamin's paint-swapping
battle with Lanpher was just
the final entertaining duel
on the racy quarter-mile
oval for the lead. The Weirs
GMC-sponsored racer turned
back other challengers
during the 150-lapper, most
notably from Johnny Clark
and Joe Squeglia, Jr.
Clark, a six-time PASS
North Super Late Model
champion, looked like he had
a shot at ending his recent
dry spell as he swapped the
early lead in the race.
Squeglia, a proven winner in
many stock car classes at
Star Speedway, battled Clark
for the lead and was still
racing with the top-five
when he was forced out of
the event.
A long,
paint-swapping battle for
supremacy in the closing
laps wildly entertained
observers. Lanpher managed
to inch ahead of Benjamin
briefly while racing in the
outside groove several
times, but in the end the
veteran Petit Motorsports
driver prevailed.
Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. of
Hudson, New Hampshire made
an impressive charge into
third position late in the
race. Polewarczyk came out
on top after racing hard
against Derek Ramstrom of
Worcester, Massachusetts.
Clark crossed the finish
line in fifth position.
Two-time PASS North Super
Late Model champion DJ Shaw,
Derek Griffith, John Peters,
six-time champ Ben Rowe and
Glen Luce rounded out the
top ten.
The next
PASS North Super Late Model
event is scheduled for
Sunday, May 20 at Oxford
Plains Speedway in Oxford,
Maine. For more information,
call (207) 539-8865. |

Support 50 Legs 150 Up Next
For PASS North At Star
Speedway |
NAPLES, ME (May 1) -
A busy stretch for the Pro
All Stars Series (PASS)
North Super Late Models
continues this Saturday
night at New Hampshire's
Star Speedway, and they will
be racing for more than just
a checkered flag. For the
third year in a row, the
Support 50 Legs 150 will
help raise awareness for a
cause affecting far too many
Americans. Steve
Chamberland's 50 Legs
organization helps provide
amputees with the necessary
care and prosthetics, that
they could not otherwise
afford, needed to live a
happier and healthier life.
So far this season,
Derek Griffth and Curtis
Gerry have dominated the
early going. Griffith
captured the checkered flag
in the season opener at
Thompson Speedway, while
Gerry has been on a tear
winning at Oxford Plains and
at Beech Ridge. The PASS
North standings are tight,
with former series
champions, DJ Shaw and
Travis Benjamin, separated
by just 10 points, while
Griffith, Reid Lanpher,
Garrett Hall, and Glen Luce
sit not far behind.
While he did win his second
PASS North championship just
two years ago, Shaw is
hungry to get back to
victory lane. Shaw's last
PASS win came almost a year
ago at Thunder Road and the
veteran from Center Conway,
NH hopes the ingredients
will be right to score
another win this weekend in
his home state.
"I
think our season hasn't been
the best so far, we've had
some struggles, but we've
gotten some decent finishes
and we're working long
nights in the shop in an
effort to get better," says
Shaw.
Shaw's only win
at Star came in 2014 and
helped propel him to his
first PASS North Super Late
Model title. While he has
won there in the past, Star
is admittedly not one of his
best tracks. But, he
believes Star might provide
him with a good chance to
shine and pad his point
lead.
"Heading to
Star we have some new ideas
to try and hopefully we can
get back on track to where
we were when we won there a
few years ago," said Shaw.
"I've had mixed results
there and feel it's actually
one of my weakest tracks as
a driver. If we can get the
car to my liking and have a
good run on Saturday, it
would be great to keep our
season headed in the right
direction."
All the
action gets under way on
Friday at Star Speedway with
rotating practice for all
competing divisions from 5 -
9 PM. On Saturday, practice
will begin at 2:30 PM with
heat races slated to begin
at 5 PM, followed by
features for the PASS North
Super Late Models, 350
Supers, Strictlys, Six
Shooters and Roadrunners.
