Story by Evan Beaulieu
The Amsoil Nelcar Legends Tour rolled into their eighteenth race of the season this past weekend at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. This race was one of the biggest events of the season for many reasons. Not only was it one of the last of the season, but it was a 50 lap National Qualifier for the Legends Nationals at Langley Speedway in Hampton, Virginia, and also was a part of the biggest weekend of Pro Stock racing in New England, the PASS 400. With a tight point’s battle and plenty on the line, this had the makings of being a great race.
For the first heat race, it was the 70 of Tylar Braunschweig on the pole with the 1 of Aaron Lewis on the outside. At the start, Braunschweig was able to get out to the early lead, but the 48 of Kendall Curit, who was up most of the night before replacing the motor in his car after an engine failure during practice on Friday, grabbed the lead. He never looked back and took the heat win. Braunschweig was able to hang on to finish second, with Lewis finishing third.

Eddie MacDonald and the Grimm Racing Team will have their hands full this
weekend at New Hampshire Motor Speedway as they will participate in three of
the scheduled five events at “The Magic Mile.” MacDonald will take the green
flag in the K&N Pro Series East” New Hampshire 125 on Friday, then compete
in the Craftsman Truck Series and the American-Canadian Tour Invitational
races scheduled for Saturday.
The team has been preparing for the weekend for some time and MacDonald
realizes the pressure saying, “This is something we have planned on since
the beginning of the season but we have been out straight preparing both
cars and the truck. I can honestly say that all the preparation is worth it
because we feel really good about our chances, at least in the East and ACT
races. We decided to race our truck, we bought two Roush trucks earlier this
year, and it’s really an experiment, so our goal is to qualify for the race
and hope for a good finish. We are definitely excited to be in three events.
We will be dragging afterward but it should be a lot of fun.”

Scarborough ME (9/12) The PASS Sportsman and Mod series joined the North East Mini Stock tour on Sunday’s PASS 400 Weekend card and all three divisions came through with exciting extra distance feature racing for the fans in the stands.
Grant Aither led thirty two PASS Sportsman racers to the green and kept the lead until both Jay Sands and Craig Smith slipped under the LEE USA track champion on lap five when Smith took the point away from Sands and Clyde Hennessey followed him through. Smith kept the field at bay until lap 35 when mechanical issues ended his afternoon. Sands resumed command and ran away and hid, but another caution erased his straightaway lead. Meanwhile the PASS points leaders had worked their way toward the front Mike Landry, Dan McKeage, and Carey Martin restarted 4th, 6th and 7the respectively. On the restart Landry made his way to second with McKeage hot on his heels. Now it was time to challenge Sands. Sands ran the second groove and Landry the bottom, the pair battling side by side at the half way mark. Hennessey sat third, McKeage fourth and Martin fifth when the field received the crossed flags.
