Renfrew Gets Two in a Row with Fall Foliage Victory at White Mountain

September 21, 2026 — N. Woodstock, NH — The driver affectionately known as “The Screaming Eagle” scored another successful landing this past Saturday, September 19. Candia, New Hampshire’s Jimmy Renfrew Jr. took the lead halfway through the Fall Foliage 150 at White Mountain Motorsports Park and made it look easy down the stretch for his second straight Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Super Late Model victory and fourth of the year.

It was a particularly meaningful and joyous win for the young veteran. In two previous visits to White Mountain this season, Renfrew was leading before trouble found him and snatched victory away. The third time was the charm, though, as Renfrew continued his late-season charge.

Polesitter Ryan Kuhn led the charge early as Renfrew was forced to come from 13th on the starting grid. After an early lap-three caution when J.P. Josiasse slid into the turn three tire barrier, Kuhn went back and forth with Wayne Helliwell Jr. before securing the top spot.

Kuhn remained the leading man through a long green-flag run as Joey Doiron moved into second, but the Eagle was soaring. He needed only 31 laps to crack the top three. From there, he swept past Doiron on lap 50, then clawed around Kuhn on lap 75 to move to the point.

The second caution on lap 120 for Jesse Switser’s turn-two spin shuffled the field behind Renfrew with several contenders pitting. On the restart, PASS North points runner-up Gabe Brown slashed from fifth to second — but Renfrew was already long gone, flying away from Brown and third-place man Johnny Clark.

Given Renfrew’s checkered recent history at White Mountain, though, it was fitting there would be one last challenge. Pat Corbett’s automobile ground to a halt at the top of turn two with four laps to go and needed to be towed away. That set up a four-lap dash to the pay window. This time, nothing stood in Renfrew’s way, as he darted away from the field for a cathartic win.

Brown finished second while Clark survived a brief scuffle with Cole Robie on the last restart to take third. Robie and Trevor Sanborn completed the top five while Kuhn faded to sixth. Alexendre Tardif recovered from a midrace excursion through the grass to come home seventh, followed by Sylas Ripley, Doiron, and Helliwell.

The other major story from the event was the odyssey of PASS North point leader D.J. Shaw. While battling for the lead in his heat race, the engine expired in Shaw’s machine. The team went to a backup car for the feature, and while Shaw climbed as high as sixth after starting last, late handling woes relegated him to an 11th-place result.

As such, Brown cut 20 points off Shaw’s point lead and is now 50 markers behind. PASS heads to Maine’s Oxford Plains Speedway on September 26 and 27 for Spencer Group Paving PASS 400, with each of the three segments counting for full PASS North championship points. As such, both drivers have a lot on the line, with Sanborn, Renfrew, Doiron, and Robie also having opportunities to get back into the mix.

The two-day PASS 400 Weekend has 10 exciting divisions on the card. The three-segment 400 for PASS North Super Late Models will be held on Sunday, September 27, along with the $5,000-to-win Limited/Street Stock Open, the Modified Racing Series, and the Kennebec Equipment Rental PASS Modifieds. The Saturday, September 26 card includes PASS North and PASS Mod qualifying plus the 350 Supermodified Triple 25s, the Green Lawn Solutions Mad Bomber 80, the KHM Thunder Stocks, the 207 Flight School Runnin’ Rebels, the GoMotorsportsShop.com NELCAR Legends, and the Wicked Good Vintage Racing Association.
