Oxford, Maine -- Garrett Hall of Scarborough,
Maine drove to an impressive Pro All Stars Series Super
Late Model victory Sunday afternoon at Maine's Oxford
Plains Speedway, taking the lead away from reigning
series champion DJ Shaw of Center Conway, New Hampshire,
then hanging on to the top spot to end a year-plus dry
spell on the region's top Super Late Model circuit.
Hall, three times a winner in PASS action prior to
last season, seemed almost surprised to be collecting
the big trophy after struggling prior to the main event.
After starting 20th in the 33-car field Hall patiently
worked his way into contention, chasing down PASS
opening day winner, and defending series champion, DJ
Shaw of Center Conway, New Hampshire.
Shaw had
his hands full just getting to the lead after starting
11th. Barre, Vermont's Nick Sweet turned in the quickest
laps of the day while setting the early pace before
gremlins drove the car to pit road under green flag
conditions. Maritime Canadian Pro Stock champion, and
2018 PASS North race winner Cole Butcher of Nova Scotia
took command after Sweet was sidelined.
Butcher
and Shaw soon waged a long battle for the lead as Hall
steadily moved upward in the running order. Late caution
periods in a race that was otherwise reasonably
trouble-free offered Hall an opportunity and the
Blackpoint Motorsports driver got his Norm's Used Cars
94 past Shaw and into victory lane. Hall's last PASS
Super Late Model victory was a memorable,
wreck-after-the-checkered win over Ben Rowe at his
hometown racetrack, Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in
September of 2017.
Shaw's runner-up finish
unofficially vaulted him to the top of the current PASS
North Super Late Model standings. Cassius Clark of
Farmington, Maine, who won on opening night at Oxford
Plains Speedway last year, earned third-place honors
aboard the Nova Scotia-based King Racing 13.
Butcher, recently relocated to his new house in
Hantsport, Nova Scotia, led a bunch of laps and ended up
crossing the line in fourth position. Reigning Oxford
Plains Speedway Super Late Model champion Gabe Brown of
Center Conway, New Hampshire rounded out the top five
after lining up in the back row for the start of the
150-lapper.
Reigning PASS Super Late Model
National Champion Derek Griffith of Hudson, New
Hampshire, who was one point ahead of Shaw in the PASS
North SLM rankings entering the event, ended up with
sixth position. Maine and New England Hall of Famer Mike
Rowe of Turner was seventh, followed by 2017 OPS track
champ Alan Tardiff of Lyman, Maine, 32nd-place starter
and former series champion Travis Benjamin of Belfast,
Maine and early-race frontrunner Ashton Tucker of
Lyttleton, New Brunswick.
Super Late Model heat
race victories were posted by Shawn Martin of Turner,
Maine along with early race leadr Sweet and runner-up
Shaw.
Bryan Kruczek of Newmarket, New Hampshire
prevailed in a wild ACT Late Model Tour main event,
shortened to 125 laps after about a dozen caution
periods interrupted the 2019 points opener for the
regional series. Kruczek, making his debut in Bobby
Webber's 19, drove by former Oxford 250 champion Joey
Pole, Jr. of Hudson, New Hampshire to claim the victory.
Graniteville, Vermont's Chip Grenier led early
before Kruczek and Bobby Therrien swapped the lead a bit
before Pole rolled into contention. Pole looked good
when the green flag stayed out but frequent cautions
worked in Kruczek's favor and the former PASS winner at
OPS added an ACT victory to his resume.
Pole was
second across the finish line, with Hinesburg, Vermont's
Therrien earning third-place spoils. Jimmy Hebert of
Williamstown, Vermont was fourth, with early leader
Grenier filling out the top-five rundown.
Matty
Sanborn of Windham scored a popular, first-ever PASS
Mods win, leading all 40 laps on his way to victory
lane. It wasn't as easy as that sounds, as fellow
first-win seekers Mike Carignan of Lebanon, Maine and
Spencer Morse of Waterford, Maine both mounted stiff
challenges that were turned back by Sanborn.
Morse, who spun out of the lead pack and fell to the
rear of the field at one point, charged back into second
position under the checkered flag, with first-time PASS
Mods racer Justin Larsen, the 2013 Mini Stock division
champion at Oxford Plains Speedway, earning third-place
hardware. Carignan and Billy Dixon of North Waterboro,
Maine rounded out the top five.
Kenny Harrison of
Durham, Maine prevailed in the 50-lap Honey Badger Bar &
Grill Street Stock Series opener, inheriting the race
lead when Gary Babineau of Hollis Center, Maine couldn't
maintain the lead when aggressively challenged by Jordan
Russell of Norway, Maine very late in the race.
Harrison, 52, outran 2017 Allen's Coffee Flavored Brandy
Street Stock track champion Billy Childs, Jr. of Leeds,
Maine to the checkered flag after Babineau's misfortune.
Babineau recovered enough to finish in third position,
ahead of Oxford's own Skip Stanley, and Russell.
Jimmy Childs of Leeds, Maine dominated the action in a
50-lap race for North East Mini Stock Tour competitors.
Childs patiently worked his way into contention and
worked his way past early leader Zach Audet of
Norridgwock to claim a lead he would not relinquish.
Jake Rheaume of Rochester, New Hampshire earned
runner-up honors in front of Mike Viens of Seekonk,
Massachusetts. Audet bounced back from a later spin to
claim a fourth-place finish. Jarod Soucy of Marlborough,
Massachusetts rounded out the NEMST top five.
The
next event at Oxford Plains Speedway is the rescheduled
and revamped opener for the Budweiser Championship
Series divisions, with Super Late Models, Street Stocks,
Bandits, Figure 8 and Rookie divisions all in action
with double feature events. For more information call
