DJ Shaw triumphant in PASS North
SLM action at Star Speedway

Epping, NH - Reigning Pro All Stars Series North Super Late Model Champion DJ Shaw of Center Conway, New Hampshire drove to his second win of the season Saturday night in a wild Little Webb's Tire & Fuel 150 at Star Speedway in Epping, New Hampshire.

Longtime Star Speedway competitor Joe Squeglia of Derry, New Hampshire, who led a healthy chunk of the 150-lap race, rebounded from a couple of mid-race skirmishes to earn runner-up honors. Nick Sweet of Barre, Vermont posted an impressive third-place finish after lining up for the race in 20th position.

Six-time PASS North Super Late Model champion Johnny Clark made a late charge into fourth spot after setting the race pace for several laps before misfortune struck. Reid Lanpher of Manchester, Maine started dead last in the 23-car field, got caught up in the wreck that took out Pole and Griffith, made what seemed like a dozen pit stops and then drove back into the top five as the checkered flag waved.

Race winner Shaw, who skipped practice to attend a wedding in Maine, got to the Speedway just minutes before qualifying got underway. Starting the 150-lap main event from 11th position, he avoided the early carnage that sidelined early race leader Joey Pole, Jr. and reigning PASS National Super Late Model Champion Derek Griffith, both from Hudson, New Hampshire.

Shaw took the lead away from Derek Ramstrom, but the battle went on for several laps of side-by-side action before Ramstrom spun from the inside groove, and out of contention for the victory. The Worcester, Masachusetts racer eventually crossed the finish line in seventh position.

Turner, Maine's Ben Rowe led the early stages of the race and deserved a better fate than his eventual 14th-place finish, and the nine-time PASS SLM champ wasn't the only racer bounced around in an uncharacteristically-rough main event. Garrett Hall of Scarborough, Maine, second in the championship standings entering the race, also deserved better than the sixth-place finish he was credited with after being harpooned by a part-time competitor late in the race.

Shaw and the Precision JLM Racing team extended their lead atop the PASS North Super Late Model championship standings with the victory.

The next Pro All Stars Series North Super Late Model race is scheduled for Sunday afternoon, May 19 at Speedway 51 in Groveton, New Hampshire. Post time is 1:00 p.m. For more information please call (207) 539-8865.

PASS North "Stars" Ready To
Rumble At Star Speedway

NAPLES, ME (May 9) - After a well-earned week off, the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North Super Late Models return to action this Saturday night at New Hampshire's Star Speedway. The tight quarter-mile located in the Granite State made its name by hosting Super Modifieds, this weekend it will be PASS Super Late Models headlining in the Little Webb's Tire & Fuel 150.

The start to the 2019 season has been one of the most competitive ever in PASS history. To start the season, five different drivers have taken checkered flags at tracks located from Maine to North Carolina. Of those five drivers, only the Thompson winner, DJ Shaw, has ever won a championship in PASS Super Late Model competition.

Hailing from nearby Center Conway, NH, Shaw's early season win sees him leading the PASS North standings by 11 points over Oxford Plains winner, Garrett Hall. Two other New Hampshire drivers, Derek Griffith and Gabe Brown, are within 20 markers of the points leader. And with Star being a track that Shaw has referred to as one of his weakest, the opportunity to gain on the championship leader is there for his competitors.

With the exception of 2013, PASS has competed every year at Star Speedway since 2011, and actually started racing there with the series inception in 2001. Ralph Nason was the winner of that first PASS event at Star and since then, 11 different drivers have taken the checkered flag there. Making Star a wildcard this weekend based on its unpredictable past. Former champions, Mike & Ben Rowe, Shaw, Johnny Clark, and Travis Benjamin have all managed to win at Star in years past.

Several drivers will join some of those former champions at Star Speedway on Saturday afternoon, including Granite State residents, Derek Griffith, Gabe Brown, Joey Polewarcyzk, Bryan Kruzcek, Jimmy Renfrew, Jr., and Dan Winter. Former Star winner, Derek Ramstrom, will make the tow from Massachusetts, along with PASS National Championship contender, Jake Johnson. Joining Johnny Clark, Ben Rowe, and Garrett Hall from Maine will be Scott Chubbuck and Reid Lanpher. Cory Casagrande will be coming up from Connecticut, while Vermonters Nick Sweet and Bobby Therrien will also be seeking out the checkered flag.

All the action gets under way on Saturday at Star Speedway with rotating practice for all competing divisions beginning at 1 PM. Heat races are slated to begin at 4:30 PM, followed by Little Webb's Tire & Fuel 150 for the PASS North Super Late Models, along with 350 Super Modifieds, Six Shooters, Street Stocks and Mini Stocks.

PASS Super Late Model entry forms for upcoming events at Star Speedway, Speedway 51, and Thunder Road International Speedbowl, along with the 46thAnnual Oxford 250, 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, the Easter Bunny 150 and PASS Commonwealth Classic at Richmond Raceway.
