The Senior Tour Auto Racers (STAR) Sportsman and Modified divisions will return to Lee USA Speedway this Friday, May 29, for a look back at yesteryear at New Hampshire’s Center of Speed. This event will also feature continued track championship action for the Super Late Models, Tri-City Lining Street Stocks, Ridge Runners, and MLM Diagnostic Crown Vics.
The Massachusetts-based STAR Tour has been in action since 1999, helping to keep motor racing history alive and well in New England. This Friday marks their season opener after supporting the yearly car show at the New England Racing Museum in Loudon earlier this month.
Officials with the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) and the American-Canadian Tour (ACT) have cancelled the planned events for Friday, May 29, due to forecasted rain throughout the seacoast area.
Unfortunately, due to prior commitments next week, the Senior Tour Auto Racers (STAR) will not be able to return on June 5, but officials are looking at options for a later appearance this summer.
“After watching the forecast get worse and worse all week, coupled with our regulated time constraints, we had to cancel the program,” said ACT managing partner Cris Michaud. “We look forward to getting back in the swing of things next Friday.”
New Hampshire’s Center of Speed will be back in action next Friday, June 5, with a full card of racing to include the Super Late Models, Tri-City Lining Street Stocks, Ridge Runners and the MLM Diagnostics Crown Vics with a 7:00pm Start Time. Grandstands open at 5:00pm with Adult General Admission set at $15, kids six to twelve are $5 and all children five and under are free.
After The Farmyard Store Flying Tigers and 1764 Sports Bar & Grill Late Models have both had their time at the top of the heap, the Bar Harbor Bank & Trust Strictly Minis take center stage this Saturday at White Mountain Motorsports Park. The popular four-cylinder class is ready to take down 50 laps on the highbanks in the longest distance of the season!
Jacob Roy holds a slim margin over Thunder Road invader Nate ‘Tater’ Brien after the Williamstown, Vermonter took down his first win of the season last Saturday. What started off as a just-for-fun pair of outings may turn into a championship run for Tater this week while rumor has it he won’t be the only one. Fellow Williamstown driver Kyle MacAskill has set a goal of thirty-races between Thunder Road and White Mountain this summer while the ACT Office has heard about several Thunder Road masters looking to make the trip over the Kancamagus Highway this Saturday for some extra-distance action.
Plenty of fans and teams joined in to start their Memorial Day Weekend with a Saturday night showdown at White Mountain Motorsports Park. After struggling with a fuel issue in her heat race, Chloe Doyle kept pace with the front of the Dad’s 4 By Tool & Supply Kids Division as Makenzi Sicard and heat winner Khloe Goodbout followed close behind. Cooper Benoit and Gracen Gorham made it a five-way fight for the top spot until Gorham, Sicard and Goodbout were collected in turn four to bring out the lone caution for a green-white-checker finish. In the finale, Chloe Doyle took down her first feature win at White Mountain over Benoit and Evan Folsom.
The two-wide stronghold broke apart by lap five in the 35-lap The Farmyard Store Flying Tiger feature with Nate Hamblett driving away with the lead as Owen Cheney and Shane Sicard gave chase. Sicard faced a mirror full of Kyle Willis with Willis motoring to the outside groove. Nate Hamblett would take down the win just ahead of Cheney at the line while a side-by-side battle for third saw Kyle Willis just edge Luke Peters for the third-place podium spot.
Claremont Motorsports Park Friday, May 22, event story
CLAREMONT, NH – Teen phenom Cole Robie soared to victory Friday under the lights at Claremont Motorsports Park, winning with ease as he pocketed the $5,000 winner’s purse for topping the Granite State Pro Stock Series 150-lap main event at the Thrasher Road third mile.
In the night’s Late Model feature, Green Mountain Boy Stephen Donahue improved on a handful of early season near misses by blasting to his first 2026 CMP victory. Chris Chambers, also from the west side of the Connecticut River, continued his domination of the Pure Stock division, outrunning a stout 18-car field to score his track-best fourth win of the season.
Meghan Bell, victorious a week earlier, made it two in a row in the Six Shooters, topping a colorful 25-lapper, and Lane Lantas, who won here back in April, scored his second win of the summer in the Ridge Runners. In the Karts, Abel Connolly won for the second time.
Picture perfect weather greeted the fans and competitors at White Mountain Motorsports Park for HK Powersports Opening weekend. Over 100 cars filled the pit area for Saturday’s car show and season-starter while the Pro All Stars Series invasion on Sunday afternoon put an exclamation mark on a showstopping start to the 2026 season.
It all began Saturday with a moment to reflect on the loss of track builder and founder Donnie Avery with all cars on display to mark the moment. Racing action started off hot and heavy with the Dads 4 By Tool & Supply Kids Division as Gracen Gorham, Maddie Potter, Evan Folsom and Kaden Wimble fought under a blanket nearly all 15 laps! Gorham slid by Potter in the closing laps to claim the win with Wimble keeping third.
The Bar Harbor Bank & Trust Strictly Minis opened the flood-gates to start the feature with Jacob Roy, Donnie Baumgardner and Tyler Thompson duking out for the top spot. At the halfway point Thompson flew out of the groove and into the turn one concrete, drove back the pit area and called it a night. Jacob Roy capitalized late to take the HK Powersports Opening Day win over Baumgardner and John Knight at the line.
