Wentworth took the lead with seven laps remaining on Thursday night at Oxford Plains Speedway and then scooted away to win the 40-lap Late Model feature on Oxford Casino Fireworks Night for his first victory of the season.

The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North season approaches the half way mark this Saturday July 7 at Scarborough Maine’s, Beech Ridge Motor Speedway and there are a few drivers with goose eggs in their win column that will look to The Ridge to change that statistic.
Topping that list is Lonnie Sommerville, defending race winner of the Southern Maine Motors.com 150. The New Brunswick racer sits fifth in the PASS point standings and finished second in the season opener so its clear he still has the touch for the Cusack family’s oval. Derek Ramstrom has been oh- so close to victory and he was on the podium last time out at the Ridge. DJ Shaw is right behind Ramstrom in the standings and Shaw is a winner in Beech Ridge Pro Series competition; he’s had numerous top fives when the PASS North show comes to town but a win would go a long way to put is 2012 season on track.

Darren Durrell of Newburgh recovered from an early race spin that took him from the lead to the middle of the pack to win the $500 to win 50 lap Little Enduro feature at Speedway 95 Wednesday night. Durrell started on the pole, but an early race incident with Brownville’s Adam Russell sent him sideways causing him to slow enough to let half the field go by. Aided by four red flag incidents that stopped the action, Durrell was able to work his way back to the lead and beat a hard charging Bobby Seger Jr. to the checkers. Seger Jr. finished in second with Milford’s Garett Hayman finishing third after leading for 13 laps in the mid stage of the event and having a right front wheel break, sending him to the pit for repairs. He was able to restart with the field and work his way to third at the end. Fourth went to Carmel’s Jeremy Scott with Bangor’s Kyle Gallant taking fifth. Russell and Durrell both won the qualifiers, starting them on the front row for the feature.
