Curtis Gerry of Waterboro, Maine will be returning to Beechridge Motor Speedway this race season. Last year, Curtis won his first Championship in the Pro Stock Series at BRMS. “It was an amazing achievement to win the NASCAR Championship and the track championship in the same year. I believe we can do it again with the same consistency as we had last year.”
Curtis recalls his most memorable moment of last year’s winning season. “Probably the last race, when I won the championship and my whole family and friends were there.”
Eddie MacDonald Wins PASS Icebreaker at Thompson
By: Dick Casey
Eddie MacDonald powered to victory in the Pro All-Star Series (PASS) opener at Thompson Motorsports Park’s Icebreaker on Sunday. As a result of winning the second qualifying heat on Saturday, Eddie Mac started the 75 lap feature from the outside pole position in the EXIT Realty Beatrice Associates/Grimm Racing Chevy and quickly established his dominance.
When the green flag waved, the Rowley, Mass. veteran racer drove to the lead exiting turn two from pole sitter D.J. Shaw on the first lap holding the lead until a lap 10 caution. On the restart, Eddie Mac spun the tires giving Shaw the lead until the next caution on lap 20 when the Dave Lemieux Chevy regained the lead with Eddie Mac saying, “I made a mistake on the previous restart, so I made an adjustment on the next one and I was able to get lead back. The car was really fast and once I had the lead I was able to use the power down the straights and the car handled great in the turns.”

Story by Chris Roy
This race season will mark Bob Weymouth’s 21st year behind the wheel in a legend car. “I started legend racing in 1997 after breaking my knee racing dirt bikes.” Bob has racked up a total of 22 different championships, throughout his career.
Right now, here in New England there are a number of different oval race tracks, 2 road course tracks, and 2 touring series, NELCAR and the Granite State Legends that race legends cars. The question is there enough drivers racing in legends to support all these events? “Legends will only grow if everyone gets on the same page up here. If not there will be small car counts at all events. The tracks, organizations, individuals need to put their egos aside and do best for the sport. But as we see in other divisions and tracks can’t make same rules packages.”
