GROVETON, NH – Jeremy Davis used the outside groove to pass Wayne Helliwell, Jr. and power his way to Victory Lane in the Granite State Pro Stock Series at Speedway 51.
Helliwell, Jr. seemed to be the car to beat early, as the two-time American-Canadian Tour (ACT) champion shot out to a commanding lead. Jeremy Davis jumped to the second spot, and began to run Helliwell, Jr. down, before the first of ten cautions brought the field back together on lap 37. Helliwell, Jr. would fend Davis off on the first restart, but Davis would hold his own on the outside groove after a restart on lap 67. Barry Gray would slow in turn one and two bringing out the caution, just before Helliwell, Jr. and Davis would tangle, leaving Davis sideways in the infield. With Gray being the caution car, Davis and Helliwell, Jr. would get their spots back, setting up another battle.
Barre, VT – Local driver Cody Blake got the jump on a late restart and cruised to his second career Thunder Road Late Model victory in the Aubuchon Hardware Trophy Dash on Thursday, July 2.

After a subsequent caution on the first restart attempt, Blake got the break on the second attempt and took home his first victory since 2013.

Lee, NH – The Pro All Stars Series Super Late Models made their first appearance since 2011 at Lee USA Speedway on Friday night, with second-generation racer D.J. Shaw of Center Conway taking home the 150-lap win and returning to victory lane at “New Hampshire‘s Center of Speed“.
Shaw, the defending series champion, moved past polesitter Derek Ramstrom of West Boylston, MA and pulled away to a comfortable lead, but had to battle heavy lapped traffic during the middle stages of the race, which featured a 120-lap green flag run that knocked several contenders off the lead lap, including such notables as Ben Rowe and Johnny Clark.
A late-race restart brought Shaw back to the field, but he motored away once again on the restart and went on the post the win. Ramstrom checkered second, with Jeremy Davis of Tamworth rounding out the podium with a strong third place finish, his third straight top five finish on the PASS tour.
