Oxford, Maine - Curtis Gerry of Waterboro
extended his winning streak in Pro All Stars Series
competition at Oxford Plains Speedway to four,
surprising few observers with his triumph in Sunday's
Honey Badger Bar & Grill 150 at the historic Maine
speedplant.
It was the third PASS North Super
Late Model victory in three attempts this season for
Gerry, who also won a 200-lap race at Beech Ridge Motor
Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, where he is the reigning
track champion.
In the waning laps it was
defending PASS North Series champion, and current
championship points leader, Travis Benjamin of Morrill
providing the final challenge to Gerry's dominant run.
Benjamin earned runner-up honors.
Two-time Oxford
Plains Speedway track champion TJ Brackett of Buckfield
led the early stages of the race and battled with the
frontrunners throughout the distance to claim a
third-place finish. Garrett Hall of Scarborough raced
hard with the contenders all afternoon and earned a
fourth-place finish.
Manchester's Reid Lanpher
rounded out the top-five after leading a healthy chunk
of the Honey Badger 150. Lanpher was running in second
position when he was clearly turned around by an irate
fellow competitor, who was subsequently penalized.
Justin Drake of Burnham, rookie Gabe Brown of Center
Conway, New Hampshire, John Peters of Westbrook, DJ Shaw
of Center Conway, New Hampshire and rookie Austin Teras
of Gray rounded out the top-ten.
'Outlaw' Eddie
MacDonald of Rowley, Massachusetts prevailed in the
150-lap feature race for the American-Canadian Tour Late
Models. MacDonald chased polesitter Nicholas Sweet of
Barre, Vermont for about half of the race before getting
by with an impressive, three-wide move in lapped
traffic.
Once in front MacDonald maintained a
reasonably-comfortable advantage over Sweet and, later,
Jimmy Hebert of Williamstown, Vermont. Hebert got by
Sweet late in the race and was closing in on MacDonald
when the checkered flag waved. MacDonald and Sweet went
on strap into PASS Super Late Models to attempt both
150-lap races on Sunday. They were the only two racers
attempting to tackle both halves of the Honey Badger
twinbill.
Corey Mason of Groveton, New Hampshire
was the fourth-place finisher, and the last ACT Late
Model to complete all 150 laps. Current ACT Late Model
Tour championship points leader Scott Payea of Milton,
Vermont rounded out the top-five. Winner MacDonald
substantially closed the gap between himself and the
points leader Payea.
Gary Shackford of Center
Conway, New Hampshire returned to victory lane after a
long hiatus, winning for the first time in the PASS Mods
main event competition. Shackford, a track champion in
1990-91 at Oxford Plains Speedway, last won a race at
Oxford around the turn of the century. He took the lead
away from defending PASS Mods champion and current
championship points leader Ben Tinker of New Gloucester,
then drove on to the winner's circle.
Tinker
earned his second consecutive runner-up finish after
winning the first two races of the season. Adam Gray of
Granby, Massachusetts had an excellent debut in the
division, challenging Shackford and Tinker throughout
the 40-lapper before settling for third place under the
checkered flag. Bruce Helmuth of Wales and Freeport's
Jariet Harrison filled out the top-five.
The next
Pro All Stars Series North Super Late Model race is
scheduled for Sunday, May 27 at Thunder Road
International Speedbowl in Barre, Vermont. The Budweiser
Championship Series returns to Oxford Plains Speedway on
Saturday night, May 26, with a 50-lap Super Late Model
race highlighting a 7:00 p.m. racing program. For more
