It&#8217;s kind of ironic that you&#8217;d feel more confident after not making a race last time out, but we know that w&#8217;ll have a really good car and I think that I&#8217;ll be fast. It&#8217;s all going to depend on how we&#8217;re going to adapt to the track, and we&#8217;ll just go from there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s so hard to know until you get there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><b>On how he will approach this weekend:\u00a0<\/b><\/i>\u201cWe&#8217;re going to test both Thursday and Friday, and so pretty much our game plan is to get as many laps as we can going into the race. The more seat time I can get, get as many laps in the car heading into the race, will only help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think another big part is going to be what I draw for a pill (to lineup the heat races). We saw at Oxford how important that can be to your whole day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><b>On if anything he&#8217;s learned in a JR Motorsports Late Model this season translates to PASS North Series Super Late Model racing:\u00a0<\/b><\/i>\u201cFor sure. Those tires, especially at Southern National (Motorsports Park), wear out. You just eat up tires like crazy. Tire wear was big down there at that track, and you really had to save your stuff for 100 or 125 laps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it&#8217;s really going to help me in these races. I&#8217;m going to be in same boat for 150 in the Super Late Model.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"CENTER\"><i><b>UP NEXT<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p>The Dirty Dozen Cup returns for Round No. 4 with its first visit to Motor Mile Speedway in Radford, Va., for Twin 125 Late Model events on Saturday, May 18&#8230;\u00a0<b>Reid Lanpher<\/b>\u00a0qualified third at Motor Mile last weekend, but the Twin 125s were rained out and rescheduled for July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PASS North Series: Reid Lanpher Beech Ridge Motor Speedway Race Preview THE STORY MANCHESTER, Maine \u2013 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.
