Shaw Outduels Griffith in
PASS North Opener
at
Thompson Speedway
Motorsports Park |
Thompson, CT -
Reigning Pro All Stars
Series North Super Late
Model Champion DJ Shaw of
Center Conway, New Hampshire
outdueled fellow Granite
State racer Derek Griffith
of Hudson to kick off his
title defense in winning
fashion, prevailing in a
thrilling 75-lapper Sunday
afternoon (April 7) at
Connecticut's Thompson
Speedway Motorsports Park.
Shaw, seeking a fourth
series title this year in
the Precision JLM / Dale
Shaw Race Cars 60, used the
outside groove to reclaim
the lead from Griffith, the
defending PASS Super Late
Model National Championship
Series kingpin. It was a
reversal of fortunes for the
top two finishers, as
Griffith bested Shaw in last
year's opener at New
England's fastest short
track.
Shaw started
from ninth position on the
starting grid while
third-starting Griffith
quickly moved into
contention, chasing early
race leader Gabe Brown of
Center Conway, NH.
Multi-time PASS North and
National Champion Ben Rowe
of Turner, Maine was an
early factor up front, as
was six-time PASS North
champ Johnny Clark of
Farmingdale, Maine.
Griffith and Shaw looked
like they were going to
settle the race amongst
themselves, but 11th starter
Ray Christian III had other
ideas, and drove into
contention while making good
use of restarts to move as
high as second in the
running order late in the
event.
Shaw beat
Griffith to the checkered
flag by just over a
half-second after racing
several laps side-by-side
with runner-up Griffith.
Christian claimed the final
podium finishing position,
ahead of Johnny Clark.
Jake Johnson of
Rehoboth, Massachusetts
followed up a runner-up
finish in the PASS National
Championship race in
Richmond, Virginia with a
fifth-pace run at Thompson
Speedway Motorsports Park to claim the top
spot in the PASS Super Late
Model National Championship
standings.
Former
PASS TSMP winner Garrett
Hall of Scarborough, Maine
was the sixth-place
finisher, with Gabe Brown,
who led several laps early
on and turned in the fastest
lap of the race, crossing
the finish line in seventh
spot. Former PASS North
champ and 2018 runner-up
Travis Benjamin was eighth,
followed by Nick Sweet of
Barre, Vermont and Devin
O'Connell of Madison,
Connecticut.
Brown
and Rowe won Saturday
afternoon heat races to set
the grid for Sunday's main
event.
The next PASS
North event is set for this
Sunday afternoon (April 14)
at Oxford Plains Speedway in
Oxford, Maine. The ACT Late
Model Tour, PASS Mods, the
North East Mini Stock Tour
and a special 50-lap Street
Stock race also highlight
this special racing card.
