PASS National Championship Series heats up starting with Beech Ridge

PASS National Championship Series heats up starting with Beech Ridge

Naples ME (8/24/2009) It's been four months since Ben Rowe captured the first round of the four race Pro All Stars Series (PASS) National Championship Series at Hickory (NC) Motor Speedway, but the series will heat up in earnest when the National Championship trail leads to Beech Ridge Motor Speedway on September 12 and 13^th for the PASS 300.

There's still three weeks before the series takes to the beautiful Scarborough Maine oval for their biggest event of the season, but the early entries are already rolling in.

The PASS South super late model contingent is already well represented. Teen sensation Ryan Blaney, three time 2009 PASS South  winner Jay Fogleman, PASS South stalwarts  Jeff and Jane Day's  entry with Mark Gibson at the wheel and John Batten have already filed entries, and there's more to come from the south.

Bub Bilodeau has what it takes to race with PASS anytime, anywhere. Bilodeau is a multi-time Beech Ridge Pro Series champion, and he's the first home track regular to to file an entry for the 300 lap showdown. PASS North touring pro Richie Dearborn cut his racing teeth at the Ridge, and his was the first entry blank to arrive at the PASS office.

Adam Bates has been tough to beat at Beech Ridge; he's got two wins under his belt and ran a close second to 2008 PASS 300 race winner and series champ Johnny Clark. He'll be trying to better that by one spot but Clark will be back to try and make it two "300s" in a row.

There's a whole lot of racing on tap over the course of the weekend.  On Saturday all divisions will qualify and the Wildcats, Road Runners and Legends will have their feature events. Sunday kicks off with the PASS 300 "B" main for the super late models. Then it's 100 laps for the PASS Sportsman division, a 50 lap shootout for the PASS Mods and the $10,000.00 to win PASS Super Late Model 300.

Entry blanks for the Wildcats, PASS Sportsman and PASS Super Late Models are available now at www.racewithpass.com .

The races go green at noon on both Saturday and Sunday. Check out the complete PASS 300 entry list by visiting www.racewithpass.com or www.proallstarsseries.com . Beech Ridge Motor Speedway is on line at www.beechridge.com  .

double your pleasure, double your fun With a PASS South Independence Weekend Double Header!

double your pleasure, double your fun With a PASS South Independence
Weekend Double Header!

Naples, ME 6/30/09- Race fans, teams, and officials will all prepare
for a double header this weekend as the PASS South super late model
series will invade the Greenville-Pickens Speedway on Friday July 3rd
for the Firecracker 125 followed by a Sunday night shootout at the
famed Hickory Motor Speedway on Sunday July 5th for the first ever
Independence 150. The double header will mark the first of its kind
for the five year old series and with the anticipation of several
newcomers expected to make their 2009 PASS South series debuts, it's
shaping up to be one of the best Fourth of July weekend races in the
country.

Race one of the double header will be featured at the
Greenville-Pickens Speedway, a paper clip shaped half mile track known
to produce some tight racing. Last year's winner, Alex Haase, will not
be in attendance to defend his win but his Kyle Busch Motorsports team
with youngster Bryce Walker behind the wheel will. Another driver to
watch is Justin Wakefield, the exact guy who battled the #51 machine
for the win just a season ago before a wreck ended his night early.
Three time winner Preston Peltier, along with Ben Rowe, Heath Hindman,
and Ryan Blaney are among the championship contenders that will have
to fend off a list of drivers making their return to the series in
2009 that include Clete Caywood, Dean Clattenburg, and J.R. Norris. An
expected capacity size crowd along with a stellar field of race cars
as well as one of upstate South Carolina's largest fireworks shows to
conclude the night's activities adds up to produce one of the best
Fourth of July celebrations for any race fan around.

An open practice for the Firecracker 125 will kick off Thursday July
2nd from 6-8pm then the following day the cars and stars of the PASS
South super late model series will take to the track for the 125 lap
event set to go off at 7pm. For more information including how to get
your hands on tickets to the Firecracker 125 visit the
Greenville-Pickens Speedway at www.greenvillepickens.com.

The second leg of the double header concludes at the first ever
Independence 150 at the Hickory Motor Speedway. The race will mark the
second of three events that the PASS South series has planned at the
famed oval in 2009, making it a facility the championship contenders
must run well at in order to have a shot at the championship. Always
producing strong car counts at Hickory makes for impressive side by
side racing and with this event being the first during the month of
July one can bet that a slick race track will produce some wild racing
action.

Having won the 2009 version of the Easter Bunny 150 earlier in the
year, Maine's Ben Rowe has to be considered a favorite heading into
this weekend. Several drivers such as Jeff Bolen and thirteen-year-old
Chase Elliot, who is the son of NASCAR star Bill Elliot, will be
making their first career PASS South series starts. In addition, Corey
Williams (2008) and Tennessee native Heath Hindman (2007) have to be
thrown into the mix as each has scored a win at the Hickory, North
Carolina track. Hickory also marks the only track so far this season
that current hot shoe Preston Peltier has struggled at. Early in the
year, Peltier posted only a seventeenth place finish but since then
has racked up three series wins and moved into third in the series
standings just forty points out of the top spot.

The Independence 150 at the Hickory Motor Speedway kicks off Sunday
July 5th with racing set to begin at 6:15pm. For directions and ticket
information visit the track's website at www.hickorymotorspeedway.com.

PASS racing at The Ridge Friday evening

PASS racing at The Ridge Friday evening

NAPLES ME (6/24/2009) The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North traveling
road show returns to Scarborough Maine's Beech Ridge Motor Speedway
for round two at the tough third mile, and there's a whole slew of
drivers with different agendas as the series ' nears the season's
half way mark.

Ben Rowe will be looking for his third win in as many starts, and
Johnny Clark is looking to get back on top of his game after a wheel
departed at New Brunswick's' Speedway 660, sending him back across the
border with a fourteenth place finish that dropped the Hallowell ace
from first to third in the standings.

There is no doubt Rowe has momentum on his side. The four time PASS
North Champ leads the 2009 standings in the North, the South, and the
PASS National Championship. Rowe is tough no matter where the series
travels. But Adam Bates may be the driver to stop Rowe's win streak at
two. Bates has shown the necessary consistency to earn a PASS title.
He leads the series in top five finishes with four and hasn't finished
outside the top ten all season. Bates won his first PASS race in the
2008 version of Friday's 150 green flag lap event and finished second
to Chris Staples earlier in the season. He trails Rowe by just two
points in the PASS North Championship chase ( 1074-1072) and Johnny
Clark lurks in third, just one marker back from Bates. With just three
points separating the top three, there could easily be a new point
leader when the heat races are completed

While this pair will ride the Big Mo into Beech Ridge, Chris Staples
will look for a comeback after a last place (22nd) finish at Speedway
660. Don't be surprised if the relative newcomer to PASS super late
model racing contends for a second win Friday night. Speedway 660 was
Staples first finish outside the top ten this season, and this team
has too much talent to stay down for long.

Kelly Moore is another driver that has seen a bad race or two derail
his championship aspirations. Moore suffered a horrendous crash at
White Mountain Motorsports Park but the veteran bounced back at
Speedway 660 with a solid sixth place run. Moore trails Derek Ramstrom
(4th) and Chris Staples (5th) in the standings, but the former Beech
Ridge regular finished third in race number one at the Ridge and he'll
be looking for his first PASS win of 2009 Friday night.

D.J. Shaw is coming off a win and a second place finish in weekly Pro
Series competition at the Ridge, and Shaw lead more than half the
distance earlier this season before fading to fourth at the finish. If
D.J.'s 150 lap package is strong, he'll be a threat for the win this
time around

The speedway's own weekly racing series (Sport Series, Wildcats and
Road Runners) will complete the card. Racing gets the green on a
special day and time, Friday June 26th at 6:00 PM sharp.

Beech Ridge Motor Speedway is at 70 Holmes Road in Scarborough Maine.

Ryan Hayes Picks Up First Career Win at Wiscasset Raceway!

Ryan Hayes Picks Up First Career Win at Wiscasset Raceway!

Wiscasset, ME- Ryan Hayes is a busy kid. Not only does he have
the hectic life of a 17 year old Erskine Academy Senior but the
Jefferson, ME resident is also hard at work becoming an Eagle Scout,
playing varsity basketball and being on the track team. Oh yeah and by
the way, he is also busy racing in the U.S. Cellular Mini Track
division at Wiscasset Raceway where he picked up his first career
feature victory Saturday night on Ray Haskell Ford night at the center
of speed. Ryan started on the pole and led every lap of the 15 lap
event, holding off Russ Anderson of Portsmith, NH and Gray's Kevin
Oliver for the win. Anderson and Oliver would finish second and third
respectively while Josh Hajula and Bruce Oren rounded out the top
five.

In the Aable Auto Parts Mini Stock division Waldoboro's Ryan
Ripley was able to overcome lapped traffic and a lot of pressure from
Thomas True to get the feature victory. True would finish second and
Mike Mason would get his first Wiscasset Raceway trophy finishing in
the third spot. Mike Wilson took home fourth in his first trip to
Wiscasset this year and Pete McCollet would finish fifth after coming
from the back of the pack after a racing incident with point leader
Kevin Douglass.

The New England Transmission's Strictly Street division saw a new
face in victory lane this year. Litchfield's Wally Henderson got his
first win at Wiscasset Raceway this year. The win was Wally's first in
six years. The win did not come easy for the veteran driver though as
he had to hold off point leader Mike Moody over the closing laps.
Moody would finish second with Mike Hodgkin's driving for Maurice
Young Motorsports taking home third. Wally's son Jamie Henderson would
end up fourth with Ian Bresnehan fifth.

Your Verizon Wireless Super Street division had current point
leader Shawn Austin picking up the checkered flag. About half a
straightway back from him Jeremy Glasier of Appleton held of Josh
St.Clair to take home second. Allan Moeller Jr. would get fourth with
Jason Gaboury settling for the fifth position.

The Clark's Car Crushing Pro Stock's put on a great show. Scott
Moore and Jeff Burgess ran side by side for about twenty laps before
the two tangled coming into turn one. With the caution period lasting
a long time and the rain starting to come down track officials decided
to call the race. Charlie Colby would end up getting the feature win.
Youngster Dave Farrington turned in his best career finish coming home
second. Third would go to Joe Creamer. Moore would end up fourth with
Scott King in fifth.

Karkos clobbers field in Subway 100; "Slick Nick," 18, is a Late Model winner

Karkos clobbers field in Subway 100; "Slick Nick," 18, is a Late Model winner

OXFORD, Maine - The same, old Mini Stock domination by Justin Karkos
and a fresh, new Late Model winner highlighted Saturday night at
Oxford Plains Speedway.
Karkos cruised to victory by a margin of more than nine seconds in the
Subway 100 main event.
He was forced to share the spotlight, however, with 18-year-old Nick
Brown, who became one of the youngest headline division feature
winners in OPS history with his 40-lap triumph.
Mike Short (Strictly Stock), Jim Davis Jr. (Outlaw) and Cathy
Manchester (Ladies) also scored victories.
Karkos drove around former division champion Dan Morris on lap 36 and
set sail from the second-place battle between Morris, Jimmy Childs and
Ashley Marshall.
With no caution flags to slow his progress over the second half of the
event, Karkos' only threat was slower traffic. He calmly slowed his
pace just enough over the final 20 laps to steer clear and still
finish a half-lap ahead of runner-up Childs.
It was the third win in the last four weeks for Karkos, who has led at
least one lap in five of the first six races after winning seven times
in 2008.
"That was fun. I think we put on a show," said Karkos, who bowed to
the crowd Kyle Busch-style with his pit crew at the start-finish line.
Ashley Marshall made a late-race move around Morris to claim third,
with Jake Burns edging Shane Kaherl for fifth. Kaherl was the last
driver on the lead lap.
Brown missed a race late last month to attend his senior prom at Morse
High School. Mercifully, graduation ceremonies were last Sunday,
preventing the second-year Late Model racer from having to skip a
second Saturday night.
He wouldn't have wanted to miss this one for the world. Brown snagged
the lead from Ron Charpentier Jr. on a restart shortly before the
halfway point and survived another resumption with 10 laps to go for
the breakthrough victory.
"You can't imagine the smile on my face right now. I can't believe I'm
even out here after all those years of watching up there (in the
grandstands)," said Brown, who was a multi-time champion in Oxford's
JARRacing Photography Go Kart Series in his early teens.
Shawn Knight matched his Late Model career-best second place in
controversial fashion, as contact from his front bumper sent mentor
and runner-up Tim Brackett for a spin with under two laps remaining.
The two drivers typically park side-by-side in the OPS garage.
"I feel terrible, and I hope he'll understand," Knight said. "I was
having to hold the car in gear on that last green-flag run and steer
it with one hand, and unfortunately that's what happened. I think I
had enough car to get to the outside and fight for the win without
that problem."
Kenny Harrison held off four-time champion Travis Adams by a fender
for third, with Shawn Martin fifth.
Short earned a measure of vindication for last week, when he was
disqualified from a Strictly Stock win after the post-race inspection.
This time, he dominated the final 21 laps to snag his second official
victory in three weeks by a wide margin over Tommy Tompkins.
Larry Emerson hopped the curb to miss a wild scramble in the final
turn to claim third, less than a foot in front of reigning champion
Skip Tripp. Tripp's team scrambled to get the car ready in time for
the feature after a crash at the end of his qualifying race.
Davis won his third straight Outlaw start, backing up consecutive
triumphs in the Wednesday night Acceleration Series.
David Childs (second) and Chris Burgess (third) whittled Davis'
dominant early lead to nothing but fell a car length shy.
"My set-up wasn't real hot tonight," said Davis. "I got out to a
pretty big lead, and all of a sudden I saw those guys coming and said
I'd better step it up."
Twenty-three cars started the caution-free Outlaw scramble, with Guy
Childs and Jerry Goss rounding out the top five.
Manchester led all 20 laps of the Ladies tangle, matching second-place
Dottie Patria and third-place Vanna Brackett in the wins category with
her second of the season.
"Starting up front was a stroke of good luck," said Manchester. "I
love it when Dottie and I finish one-two."
Patria, the defending Ladies champion, secured that status by passing
Brackett to the outside in the final corner.

Mike Ramsey wins Wildcat 50 lap special event at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway.

Mike Ramsey wins Wildcat 50 lap special event at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway.

Scarborough,Maine- Mike Ramsey used a late race caution flag to his
advantage and captured the annual 50 lap race for the Wildcat division
on Saturday night. D.J. Shaw, Bobby Nadeau and Matt Dow also shared
victory lane on this fog filled evening of racing.

Shawn Gilpatrick jumped into the lead at the wave of the green flag
for the 50 lap Wildcat race. Gilpatrick would soon go under attack
from Gary Babineau as the 2 leaders started a side by side duel for
the lead at lap 9. Babineau went in front on the 10th trip around the
oval but Gilpatrick still had the inside lane.

Gilpatrick poked his nose back in front on lap 15 and then Babineau
went back in front 1 lap later as Gilpatrick wiggled exiting turn 4.
Babineau was now in cruise control opening up a comfortable lead as
the race appeared to be headed to a green-to-checkered run. The
complexion of the race changed when the caution flag waved on lap 46
setting up a Babineau- Mike Ramsey front row restart.

Coming to the green flag, Ramsey got a quicker start and took the lead from

Babineau but it was not over yet. Ramsey was driving hard and
washing up in the corners and Babineau was trying to get to the inside
as they swapped paint and bumps for the final 4 laps until Ramsey got
to the finish a half car length in front for the win. Babineau was
second with Darin Kilton third, Gilpatrick fourth and Dan Bean fifth.

D.J. Shaw won for the first time at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway
Saturday night taking a dominating victory. Walt Pugsley led for the
first 14 laps until Dan McKeage took over on lap 14 following a
restart. McKeage would stay in front until lap 20 when Shaw went to
the inside and took over. Once in front Shaw pulled away from the
field in commanding fashion despite having to start the race at the
rear of the field.

Bill Rodgers finished second with McKeage third. Bub Bilodeau and Jay
Sands were fourth and fifth at the finish.

Bobby Nadeau passed Frank Wear 21 laps into the 35 lap Sport Series
race and went on for his first checkered flag of the season. The race
was slowed 5 times by the caution flag and despite the field staying
bunched up Nadeau was able to cruise into the win. Wear finished
second and Doug Wolfe third. Russ Morse was fourth and Dalton Gagnon
fifth at the end of the 35 lap run.

Matt Dow rounded out the evening of winners as he took down the 20 lap
Road Runner feature race honors. Dow took over the lead on lap 3 and
was chased to all the way from that point to the finish by Shawn
Brackett. Point leader Ray Letellier was third with Clayton Loubier
fourth. Ed Connolly rounded out the top 5 finishers.

PASS North: Two wins in a Row for Rowe

PASS North: Two wins in a Row for Rowe

Naples ME (June 14) Ben Rowe hung out in the top five for the majority
of Saturday night's Pro All Stars Series (PASS) 200 at Geary New
Brunswick's Speedway 660 and took the lead from Kirk Thibeau for good
on lap 149 to claim his second PASS North super late model win of
2009.

Adam Bates chased Rowe to the checkers and Nova Scotian John Flemming
returned to PASS competition with a third place finish. Kirk Thibeau
hung on to finish fourth with Travis Benjamin fifth. Kelly Moore
rebounded from a spectacular wreck at the touring series' last outing
at White Mountain Motorsports Park with a sixth place run. Lonnie
Sommerville dominated the first half of the 200 lap grind, but a flat
shortly after the half way break set him back to seventh Richie
Dearborn, Shawn Tucker, and Greg Fahey completed the top ten.

Problems beset a number of the PASS front runners. Johnny Clark lost a
right front wheel on lap 68, sending the point leader into the sand
banks. Clark returned many laps down to salvage a 14th place finish.
DJ Shaw started on the pole but suffered a flat tire and lost several
laps, eventually finishing fifteenth. An early race wreck claimed
Cassius Clark, local racer Brent Wiggins and Scott Alexander. Local
super late model favorite Dave O'Blenis was out at the half-way mark.

Nine cars completed the 200 lap distance. The lead changed hands six
times amongst five drivers; eleven cautions slowed the race. DJ Shaw,
Kelly Moore and Adam Bates claimed the qualifying races.

Next weekend it's a doubleheader for the PASS super late models. The
PASS South warriors head for Georgia's New Senoia Raceway for the
Dixie 150 on Saturday night June 20th. The PASS North teams will take
on "Maine's toughest oval", Unity Raceway on Sunday afternoon June
21st for the NAPA 150. The PASS Mod and PASS Sportsman series complete
that card, and there are two-for-one admission coupons available now
at all northern New England NAPA stores.

Ben Rowe Does it Again at Speedway 660

Ben Rowe Does it Again at Speedway 660

Fredericton N.B., June 13, 2009-It was another great turnout tonight
for the Pro All Star Series 200. After last year's Pro All Star Series
event was cancelled due to rain and was unable to be re-scheduled fans
were excited to see racing from drivers from Eastern Canada & the
United States. Pro All Star Series visits many speedways throughout
the United States each year and Speedway 660 was very lucky to have
them come here, as this was their only stop at a Canadian speedway in
2009.

Fans saw regular weekly points racing in the Coast Tire Street Stock
and Martin's Home Heating Sportsman Division. These two classes
feature some of the most exciting racing action each week and this
week was no exception.

Fans saw some very exciting racing the Coast Tire Street Stock
division. It was really a family affair tonight and the big story was
Heidi Cooper winning the 20 lap feature holding off the hard charger
#88 of Brian Fox and #11 Rocket Rodney Ness. Heidi started the race on
the pole and led every lap of the caution free race. This was a very
special evening for Heidi, not only because she dominated the feature
and took her #1car to the Auto Pride Victory Lane but that she got to
share a podium finish with her father. Both Heidi and Rodney have had
podium finishes in the past but not at the same time. This is what
racing is all about.

Randy Moore was the big story in the Martin's Home Heating Sportman
division as he started on the outside pole and sprinted out on the
high side to take the early lead in the 30 lap feature. Moore
dominated the race holding off challengers and leading the race until
the only caution of the evening on lap 24 when Dave Biggar and Cody
Price got together and spun between turn 3 and 4. In the closing laps,
Moore was being challenged for the lead by Cal Hatfield. The two of
them battled back and forth until the last lap when the two got
together and Hatfield spun coming to the checkers in turn 3 and 4.
This resulted in Moore being disqualified, which gave the win to Myles
Harris. Finishing a close second was Michael Banks and rounding out
the top three was Glyn Nott.

It's not over till the last lap. This was the case in the Pro All Star
Series 200. In the early laps of the race pole sitter, DJ Shaw and
Kelly Moore battled for the lead. It wasn't long before Saint. John's
Lonnie Sommerville had moved up to challenge for the lead from Kelly
Moore. Sommerville soon had the #28 Ford of Kirk Thibeau knocking on
his door. The two of them battled for most of race. Restart after
restart they would take turns sprinting out into the lead. Quietly
moving up was the #4 of Ben Rowe. He had been in the top five for most
of the race. Throughout all the cautions and mechanical problems
Sommerville had remained up front until after the break at half way.
After that Sommerville experienced minor mechanical problems causing
him to lose positions and eventually spin out. After the problem was
fixed Sommerville began moving back up towards the front but ending up
a little short. He still had a very good finish after all that.

In the closing laps of the race Ben Rowe had moved in into the lead
and never looked back. Rowe held off the #98 of Adam Bates and the
#97 belonging to John Flemming for the win. Rowe is a 4 time Pass
Tour points champ and has won many races. Of the local cars Lonnie
Sommerville finished in the highest position finishing seventh on the
grid. Also, Shawn Tucker finished in 9th and Greg Fahey rounded out
the top ten.

The Pro All Star Series next race on the schedule is in Unity, ME.

Sunday, June 14 will be the second day of the double header weekend
featuring the Enduro 200.

Don't miss it race fans. This weekend promises to be a very exciting
weekend of racing. So come on out to the Geary Woods this weekend and
check out Speedway 660 for some WicKID Family Fun.

White washes Oxford Networks LM field; Childs holds off Karkos in Mini showdown

White washes Oxford Networks LM field; Childs holds off Karkos in Mini showdown

OXFORD, Maine - Jeff White's total destruction of his Oxford Networks
Late Model ride last week was the worst thing that could have happened
... for his competition.
The White Lightning race team put the No. 50 back together better and
faster than before, as evidenced by a convincing victory in Saturday
night's 40-lap feature victory at Oxford Plains Speedway.
White, who picked up his first top-division win in 10 seasons of
trying late last summer, took the lead on lap 5 and dominated the
caution-free encounter. He beat former OPS champion Tim Brackett to
the checkers by a margin of more than 1.3 seconds.
"If you saw the race last week, you know how bad (the wreck) was. We
busted our humps to get here," White said.
Teenager Ben Ashline finished on the podium for the second straight
week, taking away third from impressive Gerald Parlin over the final
five laps. Parlin was a career-best fourth, with four-time champion
and two-time 2009 feature winner Travis Adams making a late-race
charge in the outside lane to fifth.
One winning streak continued and another ended in accompanying
Championship Series feature action.
Mike Short backed up his 100-lap victory in last week's Allen's Coffee
Flavored Brandy Strictly Stock main event with a 30-lap triumph on Sun
Journal Night.
Short went three-wide to move from fifth to second on lap 10 before
taking the top spot away from Kim Tripp on the following circuit.
Nobody was able to challenge Short without the help of a caution down
the stretch. Reigning division champion Skip Tripp was second, with
B.J. Chapman holding off 2007 champ Tommy Tompkins -- making his first
start of the season -- for third. Jeff Merrill emerged from a tense,
five-car battle for fifth.
Jimmy Childs, who returned this year the Allen's Mini Stock division
where he won a pair of division championships, snapped Justin Karkos'
two-race run when he held off the red-hot Karkos by less than a car
length.
It was the first win of the season for Childs, who scored a Late Model
victory in 2008.
Darrell Moore was third after his runner-up effort a week ago,
followed by former champion Dan Morris and Larry Melcher. After a
rough 30-lap race one week ago, the Minis went flag-to-flag without a
stoppage.
Troy Jordan (Macdonald Motors Runnin' Rebel) and Ryan Farrar (Call of
the Wild RV Center Sport Truck) were tops in Agren Appliance Saturday
Showdown action.
Jordan led his teammates Matt Dufault and Jason Berry in a 1-2-3 sweep
of the 30-lap Runnin' Rebel event.
Twenty-five cars started the race, with Derek Cook dominating early
before his mechanical woes allowed Jordan to speed away with ease.
Charlie Webster took fourth, with Gerard Cote enjoying his second
straight fifth-place finish.
Farrar ascended to the top of the podium after three consecutive
runner-up finishes to start the season. John Lizotte, Jeff Schmidt,
Herb Farrar and Kevin Oliver completed the top five in the 10-lap
sprint.
OPS gets the green flag again this Wednesday, June 17 with the
Acceleration Series at 6:30 p.m. Next Saturday's Double T Fence Night
includes a 100-lap Mini Stock showcase.

Pelletier, Davis, Hendsbee and Rich first-time 2009 winners on fast Friday

Pelletier, Davis, Hendsbee and Rich first-time 2009 winners on fast Friday

OXFORD, Maine – Four drivers captured their first feature wins of the
season in their current division on a closely contested Friday night
of JARRacing Photography Go Kart Series action at Oxford Plains
Speedway.
Dan Pelletier Jr. pulled off the most exciting move of many on the
evening, getting underneath leaders Charlie Tyler and Brandon Douglas
in three-wide formation with only three laps remaining in the 13-kart
Unrestricted main event.
Pelletier, a champion in three different youth divisions, pedaled on
to his initial victory of the season in the 15-and-up Sportsman ranks.
Tyler finished second with rookie Douglas third.
Troy Davis, like Pelletier a frequent winner and multi-time champion
in the entry-level divisions, captured his first victory in only his
second try at Gold Plate.
Jacob Hendsbee (Blue Plate) and Zachary Rich (Purple Plate) also
visited victory lane for the first time on the young campaign.
Mike Ricker (Star Champ) and Kyle Mooney (Box Stock) each pulled off
their second triumph. Mooney has four in all through the first three
weeks.
Davis=2 0swapped the lead with Spencer Thompson three times before
taking command for good on lap 7 of the Gold Plate encounter.
Thompson, also a champ in supporting classes, held off opening-night
winner Avery Spear for second.
Hendsbee led all 20 laps of the Blue Plate battle while Wade
Blanchette, Evan Armington and Brandon Varney tussled behind him.
It was heat winner and division point leader Blanchette getting the
best of the runner-up battle. Armington backed up last week's victory
with a third-place trophy.
Rich led the first half of the Purple Plate scramble, then lost it to
Varney for three circuits before reclaiming it for the duration.
Mooney shadowed him much of the way in pursuit of his third straight
win in the division to start the season, but the young lion settled
for second. Owen Poisson enjoyed his best run to date in third.
Ricker lost the Star Champ point to Stephen Beattie, but night-long
ignition problems sent Beattie to the pit during a lap 16 caution flag
for Douglas' spin.
That allowed Ricker to reclaim the top spot and his second win of the
spring. Douglas, making his first Star Champ start, stayed a wide
margin in front of the ailing Beattie for second.
M ooney watched Ethan Matot and Ethan Brown lead the Box Stock sprint
early, but he had no problems breezing to his second win after moving
to the head of the class on lap 3.
Heat winner Chase Staples put up a worthy fight before claiming
second, with Matot third.
The JARRacing series resumes next Friday, June 19 at 6:30 p.m.
OPS cranks it up again Saturday with Sun Journal Night. Five divisions
of racing hit the historic, 3/8-mile oval starting at 6:30 p.m.

Oliver, Grover win first OPS features on caution-free Acceleration Series card

Oliver, Grover win first OPS features on caution-free Acceleration Series card

OXFORD, Maine - The cars and even the technology have changed since
Jim Davis Jr. last competed in the Acceleration Series at Oxford
Plains Speedway. Getting to victory lane in the Chimney Tech Outlaw
division where Davis was a champion six years ago still isn't a
problem.
Driving a car he once built and pronounced a little bit outdated,
Davis nevertheless held off Chris Burgess to capture the first of two
20-lap features in the headline division on a cool, misty Wednesday
night.
In what is believed to be a first for the 11-year old midweek series,
all seven features (130 green-flag laps) were completed without a
caution flag.
Dan Brown, Zach Bowie and Addison Bowie chased Davis and Burgess
across the line in the hotly contested Outlaw 'B' feature.
Outlaw 'A' produced the closest finish of the night when Jim Drake and
rookie Ryan Robbins ran side-by-side through the entire final lap,
bumping in the fourth turn before Drake crossed the line first.
That result was soured when both cars failed the post-race technical
inspection, however, handing the victory to Jerry "The Shoe" Goss.
David Childs moved up to second, maintaining his streak of five races
to start the season without a finish worse than runner-up.
Fred Clavet, Chris Coolidge and Bubba Collins rounded our the top five.
Kevin Oliver highlighted other action with his first OPS victory in
six years of trying in the Call of the Wild RV Center Sport Truck
division.
"Flyin'" Ryan Farrar settled for his third straight second-place
finish, while Ross "The Boss" Spurling saw his winning streak end with
a third-place trophy. John Lizotte edged Jeff Schmidt for fifth.
John Childs and early-season dominator Kyle Hewins took the two
Macdonald Motors Runnin' Rebel features.
Childs spent most of his 20-lap race with Derek Cook as a shadow. Cook
didn't get through the tech inspection line unscathed, vaulting
Charlie Webster and Craig Bartlett to second and third, respectively.
Nate Dubuc was fourth and Roger Bourgoin fifth, the best career finish
for each in the four-cylinder division.
Hewins needed less than half the event to charge from his mid-pack
starting position to the lead. He cruised to his third win in four
2009 starts.
Early leader Brady Romano faced no challenges for second. Troy Jordan
landed third for the second straight Wednesday, followed by teammate
and opening-night winner Matt Dufault and Gerard Cote.
Cathy Manchester nearly lapped the field in the Allen's Coffee
Flavored Brandy Ladies feature, although she had some help when the
2-3-4 battle of Christina Spaulding, Vanna Brackett and Dottie Patria
briefly ventured off the track in turn one around the halfway point.
The trio straightened it out without any damage. Brackett steered
through the near-disaster to run second. Patria finally wheeled around
Spaulding on the final lap to claim third, with Missy Blash fifth.
Bill Grover joined Oliver as a first-time Oxford winner by ruling the
10-lap Goulet Home Inspections Renegade sprint. Division champion
Jason Hannigan was a close second throughout after following Grover
past early leader Gerard Cote.
Cote kept Bob Morey at bay for third.
OPS returns to action Saturday with Sun Journal Night. Five divisions
of racing hit the track at 6:30 p.m.
The Acceleration Series continues Wednesday, June 17 at 6:30 p.m.

NASCAR’S Tony Stewart Excited about Thunder Road Governor’s Cup

NASCAR'S Tony Stewart Excited about Thunder Road Governor's Cup

Barre, VT – NASCAR Sprint Cup point leader Tony Stewart told
GWC blogger Travis Barrett at Dover, Delaware last week that he is
excited about his upcoming June 25th visit to Thunder Road. Stewart
will compete in the CARQUEST Governor's Cup 150 with 30 of the best
Late Model teams of the American Canadian and Thunder Road regulars.

Stewart, coming off his first NASCAR Sprint Cup victory as a car owner
at Pocono Raceway last Sunday, is now perhaps the premiere racing star
of the NASCAR Cup circuit. Stewart transcends 'old school' drivers
like Dale Earnhardt, Rusty Wallace and Darrell Waltrip and the new
breed drivers like Carl Edwards, the Busch brothers and Jimmy Johnson.
Stewart has raced in multiple disciplines of racecars, including Indy
open wheel cars, sprint cars, and all forms of stock cars. He has made
it clear to track owners that he is coming to Thunder Road to race.

The appearance by Stewart at Thunder Road will highlight the track's
50th Anniversary season. Thunder Road would appear to fit Tony
Stewart's passionate love for racing like a glove. Tough and
challenging, lots of history, heavy-duty competition, along with avid
and knowledgeable race fans ---- Tony Stewart is expected to have a
lot of fun at the CARQUEST Governor's Cup 150. Thunder Road is selling
a 50th Anniversary souvenir ticket to mark the special occasion.
Stewart will attempt to be the first non-Vermont driver to take the
Cup out of the home state. With the appearance of Tony Stewart
competing in the Governor's Cup, Thunder Road has expanded its parking
lot to nearly double the size of the main lot. In anticipation of this
historic night of racing, Thunder Road has added another 500 seats to
the already largest spectator venue in the state of Vermont. The local
divisions will share the spotlight at the Governor's Cup and will run
extended lap features only on race night.

Stewart will be driving an American Canadian Tour (ACT) Late Model car
prepared by Joey Pole Racing (JPR) from Hudson, New Hampshire. Stewart
will drive the same car that Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. drove to the pole
position in the Chittenden Milk Bowl in 2008. "We have spent a lot of
time since March getting this car as near perfect as we can for Tony
Stewart. He is definitely our kind of racer, and I think he will be
pleased with the car. Actually, our team is as excited about watching
him race at Thunder Road as we are at getting the car set up for him.
It will be a real experience for Joey to be able to tell NASCAR Cup
Champion Tony Stewart how to get around Thunder Road!! We can't wait
to meet him and share a few laughs", said Joe 'Pole', Sr.

The 50th Anniversary CARQUEST Governor's Cup 150 will post $3,000 to
win and the best of Thunder Road and ACT teams will be looking to lock
up a qualified spot in the ACT INVITATIONAL to be held on September 19
at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The Governor's Cup winner will
join all ACT Tour winners, ACT Castrol Series winners, and other
invited teams to participate in the inaugural 50-mile ACT Invitational
at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday, September 19 during
the NASCAR Chase weekend. This will be the first time local Late
Model teams will have a chance to race at the only Super Speedway in
New England. "If Tony wins the Governor's Cup, the JPR car will be
waiting for him at NHMS if he wants to have some Saturday fun, said
Joe Pole, "Now that would be something to see if he decides he wants
to show us around the 'magic mile."

Gates will open at Thunder Road on June 25th at 4 PM; post time is
scheduled for 6 PM. The CARQUEST Governor's Cup 150 is slated to begin
at 8PM. Advanced tickets for the Governor's Cup are now on sale at
only $17 for Adults and day of race tickets will be sold at $20.
Children's (6-12) tickets are $5, under 6 are admitted free. Thunder
Road has announced that it will hold a minimum of 2,000 tickets for
race day fans.

Thunder Road opens its 50th season of Thursday night racing this
coming Thursday night, June 11th, with the Ferguson Waterworks trophy
dashes. Gates open at 5 PM, post time is 6:30. Admission is only $9.50
for Adults, $3.00 for kids and a family ticket for two adults and two
kids is only $20 dollars for the 16-event show at the 'Nation's Site
of Excitement'.

Podium Finish Vaults Moffitt Into NCWSE Point Lead

Podium Finish Vaults Moffitt Into NCWSE Point Lead

Watkins Glen, N.Y. (June 7, 2009): Brett Moffitt has
already set records as the youngest driver to ever win a race and the
youngest driver to ever win a pole. Following a third place finish in
the Tioga Downs Casino 125 at Watkins Glen International road course,
Moffitt is now the youngest driver to ever lead the NASCAR Camping
World Series East point standings. It's a record that Joey Logano, who
was 16 years, 11 months, and 4 days old when he first led the series,
held until now.

"It's awesome," said Moffitt after learning he took over
the point standings. "The bigger point lead we can get right now makes
it an easier walk to go at the end of the season. Hopefully now we
have a nice little cushion and we're able to go hard at some races and
real conservative to keep that lead."

Moffitt kicked off the weekend with a qualifying lap of
118.504 mph to earn a fourth place starting position in the 22-car
field. However, the team found an exhaust leak in the car following
time trial procedures and opted to go the rear of the field so that
they could fix it.

"We cracked the exhaust actually and it was right below
the driver's area. There aren't too many cars here. It put us to the
back but it wasn't too far to go," he said.

At the drop of the green, Moffitt catapulted from the rear
of the field to eighth in less than ten laps, and was running in the
top-five by lap 22.

"There were a lot of openings to make a move. I wasn't
going to make a move that I thought was going to risk the car, but
where I could, I did and it paid off," Moffitt said about his early
progress.

On a restart at lap 35, Moffitt wheeled his No. 44 Castle
Packs Power Chevrolet into fourth, where he remained until the final
lap when he got by Patrick Long for the third position.

"This is quite the place," said Moffitt. "It's a really
fast track and it's a lot of fun to come and do this instead of just
running in circles. Overall it was a good day and hopefully we can get
a few more of these."

Moffitt signed on with ASM Motorsports for a limited
schedule in 2009, but hopes to secure a sponsor this month in order to
finish out the season.

"We are going to assess what our options are after the
race at New Hampshire, but without sponsorship, it doesn't look good
at finishing out the season. We're really hoping that a company can
see the benefit of a partnership with me and ASM Motorsports. We've
been setting records and winning races, but without that partnership,
we won't be able to continue doing it."

Wrenn Picks Up First Pro-4 Win at Seekonk

Wrenn Picks Up First Pro-4 Win at Seekonk

Seekonk, MA – The Pro Four Modified Racing Series of New England
(PFMNE) took to the "Cement Palace," Seekonk Speedway, on Saturday,
June 6, for their fourth event of the 2009 season. A strong field of
19 four-cylinder modifieds signed into the paddock area for the extra
distance main presented by Kraze Korlacki Speed Equipment. "Stormin'
Norman" Wrenn made it four for four this season, picking up his first
career victory at the famed Massachusetts oval.

The #73 of Jim Darlington wasn't able to make it out after the
practice due to motor problems. The remaining 18 cars competed in two
qualifying heats. In the first heat, a three-car wreck collected the
#34 of Mark Giordano, #16 of Stan Mertz, and the #99 of Billy Joerres.
The wreck proved terminal for Giordano, but Mertz and Joerres both
were able to repair their Limited Pro Fours before the main event.

The 30-lap main event started 17 strong, with the #13 of George
Sherman on the pole and the #10 of Brian Vincent on the outside. At
the drop of the green, the #4 of Cory Cleary began challenging the #07
of Phil Lausier for the fourth position. Meanwhile, Mertz advanced
from his scratch starting spot, passing #19 of Tim D'Amico.

The first of four yellows slowed the race on lap six when the #12 of
Rob Richardi, Jr. spun around coming out of turn two. Richardi, Jr.
would go pitside, but return several laps later after repairs were
made to his #12 family-owned racecar. On the restart, Vincent powered
by Sherman, placing his machine firmly in the lead. While those two
duked it out for the top stop, the #1m of Wrenn continued to improve
from his 11th place starting position. By the time lap nine was
complete, Wrenn had already passed both Cleary and Sherman, and had
his eyes set on Vincent, who continued to show the way. As Wrenn
began to challenge Vincent for the lead, the second caution flag of
the event was displayed when the orange #4 of Cory Cleary lost its
motor, setting him on the sidelines for the remaining 18 laps.

On the restart, the #07x of Robin Berghman—who was competing in her
first event of the 2009 season—moved under Lausier to firmly plant
herself inside of the top five. Just shy of the halfway signal, the
#29 of Matt Sagar rebounded from pitting early on to wrestle the
seventh position away from the #11 of Keith Caruso. Further up in the
field, Vincent got loose coming off of turn four, allowing Sherman to
take over his spot. On the very next lap, Vincent got loose again,
but this time he was unable to save it, necessitating the third
caution flag of the event on lap 21.

Problems on the restart caused the field to get bottled up, damaging
the cars of Vincent and the #83 of Franky Perry, resulting in the
final yellow flag of the event as both cars came to rest on the
racetrack. This restart was a success with Sherman proving to be no
challenge for Wrenn. When the five to go signal was shown, Berghman
made her move under Sagar on the frontstretch, and completed her pass
on the backstretch to move into third position. When the checkers
were unfurled it was Wrenn picking up his fourth consecutive victory,
followed by Sherman, Berghman, Sagar, and Lausier who rounded out the
top five. Positions six through ten went to Caruso, Mertz, Mark
Charette, Richardi, Jr., and D'Amico. Eric McGovern, Vincent, Perry,
Joerres, Cleary, Henry Sirignano, and Dan Meservey rounded out the
rest of the field.

On Saturday, June 20, 2009, the PFMNE will make their second
appearance of the season at Monadnock Speedway in Winchester, New
Hampshire.

Robinson, McAlpine triumphant at Unity Raceway

Robinson, McAlpine triumphant at Unity Raceway

Unity, ME – Rowland Robinson, Jr. of Steuben and Burnham's Carl
McAlpine drove to victory lane, topping the stock car racing card at
Unity Raceway Friday night.

Robinson bounced back from a late-race altercation while battling for
the lead on opening night to win the Late Model feature, while
McAlpine dominated the Wildcat division's special, 50-lap main event
on the racy, 1/3-mile oval.

Other feature winners at 'Maine's Toughest Racing oval included Kris
Watson, Steve Rackliff, Kyle Gallant, Lance Chapman, Mickey Landry,
Shelby Kimball and Gage Landry.

The Late Model winner, also known as 'JR Rockin' Robinson, rebounded
from a late-race crash that cost him a shot at victory in the opening
night 109-lap main event, and some issues that came up in post-race
inspection, to claim his first Unity Raceway Late Model win.

Robinson started from the pole but watched Joe Allard and Brad Bellows
drive by in the opening laps. Defending track champion Bellows made a
daring, three-wide move in lapped traffic to take the lead away from
Allard and set the pace for several laps before Robinson loosened him
up midway through the 30-lapper and drove underneath the reigning
Unity king for good.

Bellows, of China Village, maintained second position on the track
after yielding to Robinson but his apparent runner-up finish was
negated in post-race tech by a carburetor infraction. Opening night
winner Deane Smart crossed the line in third position, but like
Bellows he ran afoul of the technical inspectors after the race and
was disqualified for an excessive engine setback violation, as was
apparent fifth-place finisher Dylan Turner.

Glenburn's Joe Allard was second in the official order of finish for
the Late Models, with Mike Lynch of Winterport picking up the
third-place trophy. Frankie Moulton of Burnham and Matt Eaton of Deer
Isle rounded out the top five.

McAlpine absolutely dominated the 50-lap special for Wildcat division
competitors, lapping all but runner-up finisher, and opening night
winner, Dustin Hubbard of Unity in an extremely-clean main event.

Both Tim Hudson and Chet Hanscom were contenders for podium finishes
before troubles knocked them from the ranks of frontrunners in the
night's longest-distance race.

Bangor's Shawn Hamel II claimed third-place laurels in his first
appearance of the season at Unity, with Luke Rickards of Anson and
Burnham's Chris King filling out the top five.

Watson, of Hermon, took his second straight feature win in the Super
Street 20-lapper, grabbing the top spot from early pacesetter Donnie
York of Knox, who held on to second spot throughout the event, but
lost the runner-up finish in post-race inspection due to a shock
absorber violation. That handed the official second-place finish to
Steve Moulton of Glenburn, with third-place hardware collected by
Steve Rackliff of Starks, who prevailed in a racelng battle against
Orrington's John Kalel II. Hurricane Hal Stratton of Belgrade was the
fifth-place finisher.

Rackliff, doing double duty, cruised to victory in the Late Model Pro
4 feature race, capitalizing on problems suffered by early race leader
Jimmy Dennis of Benton, who was looking like the man to beat in the
race before sparks began to show below his machine, causing him to
drop back several positions in the final half of the event. China's
Gregg Cummings was a contender throughout the 20-lap feature, claiming
runner-up honors. Justin Drake of Burnham crossed the line in third
position, but didn't make it through post-race inspection after an
engine violation was detected. That moved Skowhegan's Brian Lancaster
into the show position after a nice drive, bouncing back from an early
spin to claim a trophy. Augusta's Norm Cummings ended up in fourth
spot, followed by Ben Nile of New Vinyard.

Veazie's Gallant led wire-to-wire in a non-stop, 15-lap Monsta Mini
feature race. Opening night winner and defending division champion
Mike Wilson of Chelsea chased Gallant throughout the race, but never
mounted a serious challenge for the victory. Paul Jason of Augusta
outran Clinton's Alicia Goodwin for the final trophy.

Chapman, of Benton, raced from the back of the pack to take the lead
away from Clinton's Merv Greene before the 20-lap Flyin' Four division
main event was halfway completed, then barely held off a hard-charging
Cody Sleeper to post his second straight victory. Sleeper, of Chelsea
came up about a foot short of victory under the checkered flag and
settled for runner-up honors, with Skowhegan's Mike Mason racing to a
hard-earned third-place finish. Justin Moore of Madison crossed the
finish line in fourth spot, with Vassalboro's John Fortin making a
last-lap move into fifth position.

Anson's Landry negotiated traffic flawlessly, driving from the back to
the front to score his second straight triumph in the enduro class.
Chris Burbelo of Frankfort picked up his second consecutive runner-up
trophy, with Herny Boudreau of Bristol nailing down a third-place
finish after leading much of the 15-lapper before Landry drove on by.

Shelby Kimball of Cornville raced to an impressive victory in Ladies
division competition. Kimball led early, gave the lead up for a few
laps to Mika Wilson of Chelsea, then made a slick move in lapped
traffic to take the lead back for good. Wilson claimed runner-up
honors, with opening night winner Molly Feeney of Hope charging from
the back of the starting field to end up in third position. Alicia
Goodwin of Clinton and Meaghan Allen of Winterport rounded out the top
five.

In a wild Teen Thunder event under a near-full moon, Gage Landry of
Sidney claimed a popular victory. Landry inherited the lead when
Clinton's Cole Robinson and the extremely-quick Brandon Greenleaf of
Searsport crashed in turn four, ending Greenleaf's impressive run.
Landry had things his way for the rest of the race, taking the
checkered flag ahead of Canaan's Robert Dyer and Matt Kimball of
Cornville, who overcame his fair share of adversity to pick up the
third-place trophy. Brooke Getchell of Pittsfield was fourth, followed
by Robinson.

Unity Raceway hosts a pair of events this weekend, with NELCAR Legends
and a burnout contest joining the weekly racing divisions on Friday
night. Sunday afternoon the Wildcat and Flyin' 4 divisions see action
on a Fernald Frenzy program with several novelty races and a
demolition derby also featured. For more information please visit

Short goes long distance in Strictly; Adams won't be denied in LM thriller

Short goes long distance in Strictly; Adams won't be denied in LM thriller

OXFORD, Maine - Mike Short dominated the first 100-lap race of 2009 as
convincingly as he aced the final long-distance test of 2008, cruising
to victory in the Sunoco Race Fuels 100 for Allen's Coffee Flavored
Brandy Strictly Stocks at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Short led the final 71 laps of the event, winning an eight-lap sprint
to the finish after the lone caution flag tightened the field. Short
won six races in '08, including the September New England Dodge
Dealers Little Guy 100. He is the fourth different Strictly feature
winner to launch the current campaign.
Former division champion Jim Duguay was unofficially second in his
first start of the season, with division point leader Zach Emerson
third and the final car on the lead lap. Jeff Merrill and Larry
Emerson rounded out the top five.
The post-race technical inspection was still in progress at press time.
In the co-main event, Travis Adams made a dramatic, three-wide charge
from fifth to first in the final 10 laps to capture his second Oxford
Networks Late Model win in the first three weeks.
Ben Ashline, who skipped his graduation ceremony at Gardiner Area High
School to race Saturday, held on for a career-best second after
yielding the lead to Adams with five laps remaining in the 40-lap
contest.
Don Wentworth, Shawn Martin and Travis Stearns completed the top five.
Adams plotted his winning move after following the side-by-side battle
for second between Wentworth and Stearns for more than 20 laps.
Justin Karkos survived a wild Allen's Mini encounter for his second
straight 30-lap victory. Darrell Moore led until surrendering the top
spot to Karkos on a restart with nine circuits left.
Moore sped to second, with Jake Burns inheriting third after a
multi-car crash and subsequent penalties shook up the order on the
final lap. Reigning division champion Ashley Marshall recovered from
two early spins to finish fourth ahead of Kevin Bishop.
David Childs held off his uncle Guy Childs to top a 26-car field in
the Chimney Tech Outlaw feature. Childs has finished no worse than
second in four starts this season.
Steve Brill took home the third-place trophy in front of Kevin
Lawrence and John Patria.
Dottie Patria prevailed in the closest finish of the night, pulling
even with Vanna Brackett in the final corner and winning the drag race
to the finish line to swipe the 20-lap Allen's Ladies scramble. Cathy
Manchester was in close proximity to finish third, with Deanna
Robertson fourth and rookie Tori Burgess fifth.
The Wicked Good Vintage Race Cars also made their annual appearance at
OPS, with Kenny Robinson of East Machias claiming the checkers.
Oxford's Acceleration Series next takes center stage Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.

Mike Rowe wins Coors Light 100 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway.

Mike Rowe wins Coors Light 100 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway.

By Dan Walker

Scarborough, Maine- Maine racing legend Mike Rowe used his long
distance race experience to full advantage Saturday night to win the
Coors Light 100 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. The story of the race
was the experienced Rowe versus the young charger D.J. Shaw for the
win. Dave Oliver and Mike Maietta Jr led the field to the green flag
with Maietta Jr taking the lead.

D.J. Shaw moved to second position on lap 5 and pole sitter Oliver was
riding in third. Oliver went to the outside lane and picked off Shaw
for second and then Maietta Jr on lap 21 to re-take the lead. As the
race hit the 25 lap mark, Shaw began to look to challenge Oliver for
the lead as they raced side by side for the next 5 laps. On lap 30
Shaw went back in front but behind him was a fast closing Mike Rowe
who had moved from his 12th starting position into the third spot.

Caution flags on lap 40 and then lap 45 kept the field tight with Shaw
in front and Rowe moving to second place on lap 50. For the next 24
laps Rowe applied pressure to Shaw looking inside and then outside as
the wily veteran was sizing up the situation to make his move, but
Shaw was not falling for any of it and held his line.

Rowe made his move on lap 74 as he went down the backstretch looking
to the outside of Shaw as they raced into turn 3. Shaw moved up just
a bit exiting turn 4 and Rowe cut a hard left and got inside of Shaw
as they hit the front straight. Rowe raced into turn 1 with the lead
and never looked back as he led the final 26 laps for the win over
Shaw in second and Oliver third. Dan McKeage and Bradley Babb were
fourth and fifth at the finish.

In Sport Series action Scott Dorr became the first repeat winner this
season as he won the 35 lap feature race. Dorr took the lead from
Marty Adams on lap 19 and sailed to the win. Adams finished second
with Don Morse, Nate Leavitt and Craig Smith the top finishers.

The Wildcat 30 lap feature race was a trip down easy street for Jesse
Tolman as he led all 30 laps to win the race. Gary Babineau made a
late race charge to the front but settled for second place with Lyman
McKeage third. Matt Hodgdon and Mike Ramsey were fourth and fifth at
the finish.

Ray Letellier won his first Road Runner feature race as his rookie
season is well underway. Letellier took the lead from Brian Graffam
on the 11th lap and held off Shawn Brackett for the win. Matt Dow was
third with Graffam fourth and David Turner fifth.

Shaw charges to Lee USA PASS Mod Win

Shaw charges to Lee USA PASS Mod Win

NAPLES ME (June 6) Andy Shaw drove from the back of the pack to the
front to capture his second Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Mod series win
of 2009 Friday night at Lee (NH) USA Speedway. Shaw battled visiting
North Carolina super late model star Jay Fogleman and Sulo Burbank for
the win in the first of a four race Twin State Series for the open
wheelers.

Shaw and his team were fortunate to be in the feature at all. The rear
end in their race car blew up in practice but they were able to borrow
another from a fellow competitor, swap them out, and run second in
their qualifying race. But the work wasn't over then; the team had
holed a radiator in the heat and had to make another hasty swap before
feature time. Shaw, Dave Weir and the entire 66 team proved that once
again, hard work and perseverance pay off at the race track.

Sulo Burbank had luck on his side as well. After his best PASS Mod
finish of the season in third, the team discovered a broken hub held
in place only by the wheel after giving the Lee USA concrete a tap
midway through the feature.

Unofficially, Shaw vaults from third to first in the PASS Mod points
standings after four races. Jerry Harrison held the top spot going
into the race but a hard trip into the turn one wall resulted in a
12th place finish and second place points man Scott Grant came home
seventh. The top three were only separated by three points prior to
the Lee USA event.

Another Mooney double highlights Week 2 of karting at Oxford Plains

Another Mooney double highlights Week 2 of karting at Oxford Plains

OXFORD, Maine – Kyle Mooney was the model of perfection again Friday
night in the JARRacing Photography Go Kart Series at Oxford Plains
Speedway, sweeping his 10-lap heats and 20-lap feature races in both
the Box Stock and Purple Plate divisions.
Brandon Varney was the runner-up in both main events to Mooney, who
led a total of 29 laps and made each of his winning passes the hard
way, driving to the outside. Chase Staples was third in Box, with
Zachary Rich taking home the show trophy in Purple.
Familiar faces fared well in new surroundings in other action.
David Blackwell took advantage of Brandon Douglas' late misfortune to
win for the second time in as many starts since jumping to the
Unrestricted division.
Already a previous winner in two younger divisions at Oxford, Tommy
Stilphen aced his first test in the Gold Plate class for
12-to-15-year-olds.
Evan Armington, a two-time champion in Purple Plate, claimed the
checkered flag in only his second Blue Plate start.
Two-time defending Star Champ ki ng Stephen Beattie scored his first
triumph of the season.
Blackwell was pitted in a tense battle for second through fifth for
most of the Unrestricted finale. When early dominator Douglas coasted
across the line under no power with two laps remaining, Blackwell
steered through the resulting jumble and powered to victory.
Dan Pelletier Jr. followed him into the runner-up slot for the second
outing in a row. Josh Brown, who led the first four laps and was
second to Douglas for the duration, slipped back to third after the
leader's departure but held off Kyle Metivier for that position.
New blood infused the Gold Plate ranks in the second week, with
Stilphen, Tyler King and Garrett Leiter joining past Blue Plate
champion Troy Davis in making their first starts of the season.
That group dominated the night, with Davis edging King in the
qualifier before Stilphen scooted by King on lap 8 of the main.
Davis, Leiter and King diced it out furiously for the runner-up honor
before crossing the line in that order.
Beattie bolted past early leader Erwin Carey on lap 6 of the Star
Champ scramble, then withstood the challenge of fellow two-time
champion Mike Ricker for the victory. Carey was third.
Armington chased down Chris Staples Jr. and forged ahead on the
halfway lap of the Blue Plate tangle. Varney out-dueled Wade
Blanchette (third) and Staples (fourth) for his third runner-up trophy
of the night.
The JARRacing series cranks up again next Friday, June 12 at 6:30 p.m.
OPS continues its weekend Saturday at 6:30 p.m. with Sunoco Race Fuels
Night. Racing is on tap for six divisions, capped by a 100-lap feature
for the Allen's Coffee Flavored Brandy Strictly Stocks.

Father-son sweep for David & Josh Childs in 11th annual Acceleration Series opener

Father-son sweep for David & Josh Childs
in 11th annual Acceleration Series opener

OXFORD, Maine - The father-son combination of David and Josh Childs
combined for 18 feature wins in two different Oxford Plains Speedway
Acceleration Series divisions last season.
Now that the two are competing in the same class, the peer pressure
and the quest for bragging rights might make them even more dangerous.
After hearing the Chimney Tech Outlaw rookie Josh had won his 20-lap
event while waiting to take the track for his own race, David drove to
a convincing victory in his portion of the first Wednesday night
program of the season.
Reigning Outlaw champion Ron Abbott Jr. also accomplished what he was
unable to achieve in his title-winning season, leading every lap to
capture the checkered flag in the first of three features for that
division.
Zach Audet and Matt Dufault ruled the Macdonald Motors Runnin' Rebel
features. Vanna Brackett emerged from a highly competitive Allen's
Coffee Flavored Brandy Ladies field to score a win.
Ross Spurling backed up his first career victory four nights earlier
with another triumph. Defending champion Jason Hannigan picked up
where he left off with a Goulet Home Inspections Renegade victory.
Abbott held off Jerry Freve, who was a car length back throughout
their 20-lap tangle.
"Zach and Larry Emerson helped me get here," Abbott said. "I kind of
dragged my butt until the last minute."
John Patria made a spirited charge on the outside throughout the event
but settled for third. Guy Childs threatened to make it a family sweep
but filed into fourth ahead of Kevin Lawrence.
By virtue of having no 2008 points in the division, Josh Childs
started last in his 16-car grid. He flew past more than half the field
over the first three laps, then calmly picked his way past Chris
Coolidge, Steve Brill and early dominator Gerry Richard to score his
second straight victory.
Childs, 18, also won in his most recent Saturday night start.
"Holy cow, that was a fun race," said Childs. "I can't even believe I
made it here. I didn't think I'd be able to get up front. The car was
pushing, and I had to use a little more brake than usual."
Richard, Brill, Coolidge and Bob Ferguson completed the top five.
David Childs bolted from 11th to first in under 10 laps and cruised to his win.
"They came down and told me my boy won," Childs said, "so I had to
drive my butt off."
Steve Moon had a mirror full of John Spencer Jr. throughout but held
on for second. Tyler Belanger and Jonathan Baldwin traded fourth
position five different times before Belanger finally claimed it, with
Baldwin a career-best fifth.
Audet had a shadow in Scott Farrington for the duration of the 20-lap
Rebel opener, but last year's four-time feature winner started off
2009 in a similar fashion with a narrow victory.
"He ran me really clean. I'm happy about that," Audet said of Farrington.
Troy Jordan wasted no time charging from 12th to third, but without
the help of a caution flag to slow the leaders, he only had time to
catch their rear bumper before the finish. Dustin Salley backed up
Saturday's first career victory in fourth, followed by Jamie Heath
after a late skirmish scattered the eight-car battle for fifth.
Dufault drew the outside of the front row for round two and kept the
pack at a safe distance to the checkers. Kyle Hewins and Jason Berry
applied early pressure, but their slight entanglement in a multi-car
incident gave Dufault slightly more breathing room.
"The car was right on tonight," said Dufault. "We made a bunch of
changes from Saturday, and it worked out pretty good."
Racing for the first time since the birth of his first child, Jamie
Leavitt avoided the mid-race mess to take second. Berry stayed the
course and took third. Hewins' early-season winning streak ended at
two with a fourth-place run, followed by Corey Beaulieu.
Spurling inherited some space after closest pursuers Ryan Farrar and
Kevin Oliver got tangled with a lapped truck. Opie Allard advanced to
second and supplied some heat, but it was Spurling scoring his second
straight set of checkers.
"It's hard to keep those Toyotas back there, but we're getting better
and better," Spurling said.
The Ladies swapped lanes and paint repeatedly, with six drivers having
a crack at the win in the closing laps. Until Brackett moved to the
front, that is, continuing the momentum she produced with her 10 wins
in '08.
Cathy Manchester made a late move to the inside and took second in
front of defending champion Dottie Patria. Deanna Robertson and Debbie
Marston completed the top five.
Hannigan led every lap of the 10-lap Renegade scramble, holding rookie
Bill Grover at a safe, four-car length distance. Gerard Cote was next
in line.
OPS roars to life again at 6:30 p.m. Saturday with Sunoco Race Fuels
Night. A 100-lap Strictly Stock feature headlines a five-division
card.
