PASS North Series: Austin Theriault
Beech Ridge Motor Speedway Race Report
SCARBOROUGH, Maine – Brad Keselowski Racing development driver Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, Maine, finished seventh in the PASS North Series Southern Maine Chrysler Dodge Jeep 150 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, on Saturday, May 4. Theriault’s finish was his best PASS North Series finish of the season, and it extended his streak to seven consecutive Top-10 finishes in PASS-sanctioned races dating back to last season. Theriault started 15th after qualifying through the first round, and he raced as high as sixth on a late-race restart. Track position proved crucial late, particularly as the car’s handling tightened up over the course of the 150 laps, and he ended up seventh at the checkered flag.

OXFORD, Maine – In the long run, Corey Morgan figured track time under race conditions was going to be a lot more valuable than countless practice runs in the lead-up to the season.
The Lewiston, Maine, racer made that theory count in the short-term, too – winning both the Strictly Street feature at Wiscasset Speedway last Saturday and then following it up by winning the Outlaw Sportsman feature at Oxford Plains Speedway on Sunday in the same car.

Amsoil NELCAR Legends Tour: John Peters
Beech Ridge Motor Speedway Race Preview
THE STORY
WESTBROOK, Maine – John Peters of Westbrook, Maine, hopes to rebound from engine troubles last time out when the Amsoil NELCAR Legends Tour competes in a 25-lap feature at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, on Saturday, May 4. Peters finished sixth last time out at Speedway 95 in Hermon, Maine, two weeks ago – but was sidelined by a blown engine for the date the following day at Oxford Plains Speedway. Peters made his NELCAR debut at Beech Ridge with a 10th-place finish last September, just weeks after becoming the youngest champion in track history at 15 years old when he won the Beetle Bug JV title for entry-level cars as part of the 10-week VIP Thursday Thunder series.

THE STORY
MANCHESTER, Maine – Reid Lanpher of Manchester, Maine, attempts to make his PASS North Series debut in the Southern Maine Chrysler Dodge Jeep 150 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, on Saturday, May 4. The 14-year-old JR Motorsports development driver narrowly missed qualifying for the season opener at Oxford Plains Speedway two weeks ago, but he’s confident that luck will be on his side this time around. Lanpher – who is coming off a career-best qualifying effort of third at Motor Mile Speedway in Radford, Va., last weekend with JR Motorsports – will again team with veteran NASCAR K&N Pro Series East driver and crew chief Andy Santerre for the race at Beech Ridge.

THE STORY
WINDHAM, Maine – Third-generation driver Bradley Babb of Windham, Maine, returns to the PASS North Series for the Southern Maine Chrysler Dodge Jeep 150 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, on Saturday, May 4. Babb won the 2012 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series track championship in the Pro Series at Beech Ridge last season, and he’s hoping that the “home track advantage” will play in his favor this weekend. Babb won the pole for the season-opening PASS race at Oxford Plains Speedway two weeks ago and was running inside the Top-10 when he was shuffled back on a late-race restart and had to settle for a 13th-place finish. He’ll bring the same brand new Dale Shaw Race Cars chassis to the track that debuted for that Oxford race on April 21. (more…)
