N. Woodstock, NH – Teenage Hotshoe Derek Griffith is excited about this coming weekend’s trip to White Mountain Motorsports Park (WMMP).

 

WMMP is a picturesque ¼-mile bullring in northern New Hampshire that offers touring series the opportunity to race at one of the nicest facilities in New England.

 

Griffith is coming off a great podium finish at the Inaugural NH Classic 100 at Star Speedway on September 7, 2014. Derek started in the second spot for the 100 lap feature and stayed in the top 5 all day long. The podium finish allowed Griffith to pull ahead of Barry Gray for third place in the season long points battle. With 2 races to go, Derek feels he can seize an opportunity as the Granite State Pro Stock Series (GSPSS) makes its first ever trip to WMMP.

“White Mountain is a neutral track for our series, I think if we hit our marks in practice and set the car up properly, we can at least grab a podium finish again but we are squarely looking for the win”, stated Griffith.

 

Derek will pilot his Mom’s of Manchester/LCM Racing No. 12 Toyota Camry this Saturday, September 20th at WMMP and try and secure his first career GSPSS win. Derek has multiple top-3 finishes for the year.

 

Griffith explains what a win would mean to his team, “We are very close to getting our first win. This season more than any other, we feel we can content at all the race tracks the series [GSPSS] visits.

 

Getting that first win will validate all of Louie’s [Crew Chief Louie Mechalides] and my Dad’s hard work, we are always fast off the trailer and our team has really come together, we are a pretty solid bunch.”

 

The Granite State Pro Stock Series at White Mountain Motorsports Park on September 20th has a post time of 6 pm.
