The Return Home: Granite State Pro Stock Series and Derek Griffith Return to Hudson International Speedway
HUDSON, NH – Derek Griffith continues his breakout year, racking up solid finishes on the Granite State Pro Stock Series, including his first four wins on the tour. In June, Griffith won in front of his hometown crowd at Hudson International Speedway, and is hopeful for another good run on August 23.
Griffith has lead the championship standings since the second race of the season, only finishing outside the top 6 once, at Speedway 51 after expiring a motor. The young star has had a season like no other driver in the tour’s history, and with only three races left, the 2015 championship is lurking in the back Griffith’s mind.

Three Stars Awarded for ACT Beech Ridge 150
Waterbury, VT – The American Racer Three Star program is designed to recognize three teams in no particular order of performance that had outstanding races at American-Canadian Tour (ACT) U.S. Tour events. There are no specific criteria for deciding who might receive the award of a free American Racer Tire (value $125.00), but a special effort by a team, exceptional race, just plain old hard luck, or any other accepted reason is used to decide the award recipients.
The Three Stars are chosen by ACT officials and will receive certificates for use of a free American Racer tire at a race of their choosing during the 2015 season.

EAST MONTPELIER, Vt. – The finish for the 18-year old East Montpelier driver did not reflect the gallant effort to drive an ill-handling race car towards the front, and unfortunately Emily Packard left Beech Ridge Motor Speedway with a 17th place finish this past Saturday night.
As the day began, Packard and her Northstar Fireworks/Packard Fuels team took to the track for the first practice, hoping that the changes to the set up that worked out so well at Oxford might help her at Beech Ridge, only to be 16th fastest on the chart. The team continued to make adjustments to the car and her times remained consistent throughout the day. “Went out in the first practice, and the car wasn’t too bad,” said Packard. “We made some minor adjustments during each practice to try to better the car.”
