PASS North Back On Track This Weekend At Lee USA Speedway
PASS North Back On Track This Weekend At Lee USA Speedway
- For Immediate Release
NAPLES, ME (August 1) – In one of their last opportunities to compete prior to the 45th Annual Oxford 250, the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North Super Late Models will be back on track this Friday night at Lee USA Speedway in New Hampshire. Coming in to this weekend's action, the battle for New England's most prestigious short track championship continues to be a hot one. Two Granite State drivers, Center Conway's DJ Shaw and Hudson's Derek Griffith, continue to lead the standings following last weekend's "Prelude To The Oxford 250" at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Shaw, the former two-time series champion, is not a stranger to winning in his home state, but has not won at Lee USA Speedway since 2015. Both Shaw and Griffith, his nearest championship contender, have won at Lee and Shaw hopes its tight configuration will play to his favor on Fridaynight.
"It's a fun, low grip place that you get to slide around on and really work the car as the race goes on," says Shaw, driver of the Precision JLM/Mulkern Excavating #60 Chevrolet. "Lee is one I mark on the calendar every year because it's where I got my first big win in a Late Model 10 years ago. I've snagged a couple of other Super Late Model wins at Lee over the last few years, so we're really looking forward to getting back there this weekend."
With only two races left until the 45th Annual Oxford 250 and the chance to win up to $50,000, Northeast Super Late Model drivers are running out of chances to tweak their setup prior to the biggest race of the year. While Shaw and Griffith will be among the top contenders to take the checkered flag at Lee on Friday night, there will be plenty of others for them to deal with this weekend. Fellow New Hampshire driver, Joe Squeglia and Maine's Glen Luce, are both former PASS winners at Lee. Cassius Clark also will be returning following a near win last weekend at Oxford. Derek Ramstrom, John Peters, and New England Modified standout, Anthony Nocella, are all entered for this weekend's 150 lapper at Lee.
All the action gets under way on Friday at Lee USA Speedway with practice starting at 4 PM. Racing gets under way at 7 PM with heat race action followed by features for the PASS North Super Late Models, Street Stock, Pure Stock, Ironman, and Sportsman divisions.
