This race season Jordan O’Brien is racing in the MOAT Mountain Legends Series at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. “I will be racing for rookie of the year this season, and hopefully I will be in the fight for the championship.”
Last year Jordan was racing in F1 Karts and now how has made the transition to legends, “Well last season I raced F1 style go karts at F1 Outdoors and at NHKA, and I absolutely loved them, but the minute I first got on the track with the legends car it was just a whole different level, it was amazing.”
So what made Jordan decide to race Legends cars this season on the road course at NHMS?
“Well, I have always had a passion for road course racing and my dream has always been and will always be to someday get a drive in formula one. I always thought legends cars were extremely cool and I thought it was time to take the next step, so then I started the ranting on dad. We got introduced to Bob Weymouth through Alex and George Vorrilas, and we started talking to Bob about the possibilities of getting a car. Then Christmas time came around, and one day we happened to be in the area of Bob’s shop.

(Halifax, NS, May 19, 2014) The Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour will open another sensational season of stock car racing this Saturday, May 24th at Scotia Speedworld with the Harry Poole Memorial 100 presented by Lucas Oil. The season opener will launch the 12-race schedule that will take the Tour to five Maritime markets over the next 17 weeks. Approximately thirty of the best teams from across the region are expected to battle for a spot in Saturday’s main feature. Qualifying for the Harry Poole Memorial 100 presented by Lucas Oil gets underway at 3:10 PM with racing slated for 4:00 PM. Grandstands gates open at 1:00 PM.
Saturday’s season opener will be run in honour of Harry Poole. Harry was one of the original builders and owners of the Pro Stock Tour and Scotia Speedworld. He was a staunch supporter of stock car racing in the Maritimes and he willingly gave back to his community through many other organizations over the years. Racing has lost a true friend and we are dedicating the 2014 season opener to Harry, who passed away this winter after a valiant battle with Cancer.

The picturesque White Mountain Motorsports Park located on Route 3 in North Woodstock, New Hampshire will be the next stop for the Pro All Stars Series, as the top PASS Super Late Model teams in the northeast invade the ¼ mile speed plant on Saturday, May 24th at 5pm for the Littleton Chevrolet / Buick PASS 150.
WMMP has always been regarded as one of the favorite tracks by most PASS North teams as it is extremely wide, very fast and always allows for plenty of passing. In 2013 weather plagued the event in June forcing postponement of the event to later in the season where it was also rained out. The decision was made to run twin 150’s on August 31st making Labor Day weekend an unbelievable event. Joey Doiron stepped up his program in the first 150, and claimed a hard fought win over Karl Allard, Ben Rowe, David Oliver and DJ Shaw. Doiron came right back in the nightcap and did the unthinkable by sweeping the pair of 150’s on the night. DJ Shaw, Cassius Clark, David Oliver and Derek Ranstrom completed the top five. These events were pivotal in the battle of the PASS North championship, as Doiron ended up second on the season to Cassius Clark, while Shaw placed third.
