NAPLES, ME (May 4) – When the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North Super Late Models hit the track this Saturday afternoon at New Hampshire’s Star Speedway, they will be racing for more than just a checkered flag.  The Support 50 Legs 150 will help raise awareness for a cause affecting far too many Americans.  Steve Chamberland’s 50 Legs organization is to help provide amputees with the necessary care and prosthetics, that they could not otherwise afford, and to help them live a happier and healthier life.

 

So far this season, there have been three different winners in the first three PASS North Super Late Model events.  PASS young gun Garrett Hall captured the checkered flag at Thompson Speedway and sits third in points.  Ben Rowe edged out DJ Shaw and Johnny Clark in an amazing three wide finish at Oxford Plains Speedway.  And, Shaw is coming off a win of his own at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway that saw him get the best of Joey Doiron on a late-race restart.

(Epping, NH) – Trying to become a contender in one series is hard but to become a force in two series is quite a feat indeed. Derek Griffith, the 2015 Granite State Pro Stock Series (GSPSS) Champion; currently sits near the top-10 in the very competitive Pro All Star Series (PASS) North Tour.

Griffith who enters this weekend coming off a disappointing finish at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway where an accident forced out the Hudson, NH native early in the event and forced the McKennedy Bros. Masonry/LCM Racing/Tyngsboro Motors race team to work long hours getting the No. 12 back to racing form.

Derek talks about the events at Beech Ridge, “We had a pretty fast piece, right off the trailer. We were able to grab a fourth place finish in the heat race and that translated to a tenth place starting spot in the feature. On lap five, one of the veterans of the tour decided to try a move on the front stretch that he didn’t have room for, he got me loose and it snapped us directly into the wall. It’s unfortunate but that’s racing.”
