Score is Second PASS Super
Late Model Win This Season for
Derek Griffith |
North Woodstock, NH -- Derek Griffith of Hudson, New
Hampshire raced to his second Pro All Stars Series North Super
Late Model victory of the season Saturday night in the 150-lap
event topping the racing car at White Mountain Motorsports Park
in North Woodstock, New Hampshire.
To earn this trip to the winners' circle Griffith needed to take
command of the race from Ben Rowe, the reigning PASS Super Late
Model National Champion who is no stranger to victory lane at
the high-banked, quarter-mile oval.
Griffith's LCM Motorsports #12 was chased under the checkered
flag by Travis Benjamin of Morrill, Maine. Benjamin vaulted into
the PASS North Super Late Model championship points lead with
his runner-up finish aboard the Petit Motorsports #7.
Rowe ended up third in the Richard Moody #4, with his teammate,
Trevor Sanborn of East Parsonsfield, Maine, close behind in th
#44. Six-time PASS North Super Late Model champion Johnny Clark
#54 of Farmingdale, Maine swapped the race lead with Rowe during
the event's early laps before posting a fifth-place finish.
Bruce Helmuth of Wales, Maine claimed a career-first PASS
Modified victory in a wild 40-lap race for the open-wheel class
with an unusual amount of carnage and destruction evident.
Helmuth, who has a mantle full of second and third-place PASS
Mod trophies and is only a couple of points out of second-place
in the Mod standings this year, inherited the race lead when
Conway, New Hampshire's Gary Shackford was deemed by officials
to be forced from the position by Bruce Carignan of Lebanon,
Maine.
Carignan and Shackford went to the back of the restart lineup,
then Helmuth outgunned Conway's Mark Lunblad, Jr., racing to
victory ahead of Lundblad and points leader Ben Tinker of New
Gloucester, suffering through his worst performance of the
season while posting his 12th top-three finish in 12 races.
Steven Jones of Saco, Maine led the 40-lappers opening stages
before settling for a fourth-place finish with Shackford
bouncing back from his bouncing from the lead with a fifth-place
finish.
David Whittier of West Poland, Maine prevailed in a thriller,
waiting until the final turn on the final lap to pull off his
winning move in a 50-lap open race for Street Stocks. Whittier,
a successful Oxford Plains Speedway regular, won a 75-lap race
for his first-ever score at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway on the
previous weekend.
At White Mountain Motorsports Park, sixth-place starter Whittier
raced most of the distance behind the new track champion at his
home oval, polesitter Billy Childs, Jr. of Leeds, Maine. Testing
every groove and angle for a couple of laps before his last-lap
charge, Whittier edged Childs by mere inches under the checkered
flag. Runner-up Childs led 49.9 laps, unofficially.
Tyler King of Livermore, Maine started 13th in the 50-lapper and
steady progress throughout the race netted a third-place finish
in a relatively trouble-free Street Stock performance. 'Mad' Max
Dolliver of Londonderry, New Hampshire was fourth across the
finish line, followed by Buxton, Maine's Nathan Leavitt.
Austin Teras of Windham, Maine kept his National Championship
hopes alive in the Legends Cars class, holding off a determined
Casey Call of Pembroke, New Hampshire in a hotly-contested,
25-lap race. Teras is still in contention for the Young Lions
nationwide title.
Kevin Girard of Saco, Maine was third and tops among those old
enough to be licensed to drive motor vehicles on public roads.
Noah Korner from Bloomfield, Connecticut and Ryan Doucette from
Framingham, Massachusetts rounded out the top five in Legends
Cars competition.
Jamie Heath of Waterford, Maine nailed down his second straight
victory in the three-race Bandits Triple Crown Series, holding
off a hard-charging Adam Sanborn of West Paris, Maine in a
25-lap race for the stock four-cylinder-powered racing class.
For Heath, the 2016 Bandits division champion at Maine's Oxford
Plains Speedway, it was his tenth feature race win of the year.
Tyler Green of Turner, Maine joined Heath and Sanborn on the
podium after winning a race-long battle versus Kyle Hewins of
Leeds, Maine. Auburn's Scott Jordan won his heat race and
battled with Heath for the early lead before eventually
finishing in fifth position. Heath also won a heat race in
earlier Bandits action.
