Canaan NH. – As the 2012 race season nears, the Granite State Pro Stock Series (GSPSS) driver roster continues to grow. ‘We are very excited with the support we are receiving from the race teams” stated GSPSS president Mike Parks. As of today we have 24 teams registered and we believe there are still more to come. Multi time Track Champions Babe Branscombe and Barry Gray head the list of recent registered teams, along with Modified Racing Series stand out Les Hinckley making his return to full fendered racing. Strong competitors from all over New England have stated intent to follow the tour this season. Drivers like: Mike O Sullivan, Fran Colson, Mike Parks, Chris Wilk, and Bryon Baker along with veterans like Dennis Maxfield, Richie Eaton, Jake Vanada and Steve Gauthier. With this strong support the 2012 GSPSS season has nothing but promise. We continue to receive calls all the time regarding the upcoming season, and we are still working on securing more race dates. The Goal of the GSPSS was to have 12 events but at this point its looking like it will end up around 8, which is fantastic for the inaugural season. The series kicks off with the David’s House 106 on May 26th at Winchester NH’s Monadnock Speedway with an expected purse exceeding $15,000 and a full field of the region’s best Pro Stock teams in action!

KINSTON, Ala. – Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, Maine, finished seventh in the caution-filled Rattler 250 at South Alabama Speedway in Kinston, Ala., on Sunday, March 4. Theriault started 11th in the Brad Keselowski Racing No. 29 Checkered Flag Foundation Dodge after rain washed out all on-track activity on Saturday, and then he patiently avoided a slew of wrecks around him to post his best career Super Late Model finish. Theriault had worked into the Top-10 during the first half of the event, before another competitor’s car spun into him and hurt the left rear of the No. 29. The team made several pit stops to try and repair the handling on Theriault’s car, using some tire strategy en route to the seventh-place finish at the checkered flag.
