PASS South Drivers Look For Opportunities At South Boston

On By

PASS Racing

CHARLOTTE, NC (May 2) – With a quarter of the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model schedule in the history books, 2013 is shaping up to be one of the most competitive seasons on record. Through the first four races of the year there have been four different winners and the driver who has led the most laps in each of those events has failed to go on and capture the checkered flag. Additionally, the top five in points are separated by less than 50 markers and feature a great mix of veterans and rookies. One would expect to see Jay Fogleman, Kyle Grissom, and Brandon Ward in the mix for the championship, but upstarts Brandon Lynn and Spencer Davis have fared well early in the season.

With the racing as competitive as it is, one can’t be sure from race to race as to who might have the best odds in going to victory lane on a given weekend. One of the hottest drivers as of late in PASS South has been Sanford, NC’s Jody Measamer. Measamer has found great success in the region racing Late Model Trucks and has made the move to full-time PASS South Super Late Model competitor this year. Despite missing the first two races of the season at Dillon and Myrtle Beach due to engine problems, Measamer has stormed back finishing fifth at both Hickory and Southern National.

“The way Hickory went, we ran good all weekend and had a real good finish against some of the best drivers in the country and at Kenly we ran good again and were up at the top of the time sheets all weekend,” said Measamer.

OXFORD, Maine – Brad Keselowski Racing development driver Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, Maine, returned to his family-owned team for the first time this season and rallied to finish ninth in the PASS North Series Ripley & Fletcher Ford 150 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine, on Sunday, April 21. Theriault fought the track position game all day long on the flat .375-mile oval – starting shotgun on the field in his first-round qualifying heat – and lost a lap in the first half of the main event. But Theriault got back on the lead lap with under 60 laps remaining, and he fought back over multiple late-race restarts in the AT Racing No. 57 Pelletier Ford Ford Fusion to score his sixth straight Top-10 finish in PASS-sanctioned events, dating back to August of 2012.

Joey Doiron Opens North season with runner up

On By

Project1Oxford, ME – Joey Doiron was able to take his second place starting spot and dominate the season opener for the Pro All Stars Series North in the #73 Wild Willy’s Burgers Chevrolet on his way to an eventual second place finish at Oxford Plains Speedway. After winning the season opener a year ago at Beech Ridge, Doiron was confident he would have a car that could contend for another win after a great practice session in the morning.

It wasn’t long before Doiron got to show just how good of a car he had, as he took the win in the second heat race very convincingly. With that, he would start from the outside of the front row in the feature event, lined up alongside fellow Dale Shaw Racecars driver Brad Babb.

Cassius Clark Gets 2013 Started Off Right with Victory in
Ripley and Fletcher Ford 150 PASS North Event

Dixon, Pastore and Hammar Also Win on Sunday at Oxford Plains Speedway

Oxford, Maine (4-21-13) – One year ago, the #77 Hight Motorsports team with driver Cassius Clark were looking for their first PASS North Super Late Model victory. They got that win in the season’s third event and advanced to the role of title contenders by the end of the season. Clark eventually finished second to Travis Benjamin in the final 2012 PASS North standings.

On Sunday afternoon at Maine’s Oxford Plains Speedway, Clark and the #77 team started out their 2013 season with a victory in the Ripley and Fletcher Ford 150 PASS North event. By coming out of the gate with a victory, Clark is already hoping that this might be the season where he can score his first career PASS North championship.

“We were pretty pleased with last year. We just fell short of a goal there,” said Clark. “We worked hard on things over the winter. Sitting at home and waiting to race since October has been tough. Winning was a good way to get out there and knock the rust off.” Read Full Article →

OXFORD, Maine – Bobby Timmons III of Windham, Maine, posted his best career PASS North Series result when he finished fifth in the Ripley & Fletcher Ford 150 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine.

Following an eighth-place finish at Oxford Plains last October, Timmons now has Top-10 finishes in each of his only two career PASS North Series starts.

DJ Shaw Hopes To Start PASS North Season Strong At Oxford

On By

DJ1Center Conway, NH – The Pro All Stars Series North season opener is this weekend at Oxford Plains Speedway. After what seemed to be a never ending offseason for some, DJ Shaw and the Precision JLM Racing team have been hard at work on and off the track. After a couple of top ten finishes in the PASS National series, including a runner up finish in the Easter Bunny 150 two weeks ago, the crew is more prepared than ever for a good start to the season at Oxford Plains Speedway.

While Shaw hasn’t raced in a few weeks, he and his father, Dale Shaw, built and crewed on the car that Jimmy Hebert drove to the win in the Governor’s Cup 150 at Lee USA Speedway this past weekend, getting the sophomore driver his first win in the American Canadian Tour, all behind the wheel of a brand new Dale Shaw Racecar.

The last time the series was at Oxford Plains Speedway was last October for the season finale, and after making several big gains on the car, Doiron ended the night with a top ten finish with a car that he thought could have contended for a podium finish.
