The Pro All Stars Series tour kicks off their 2013 season at Oxford Plains Speedway on April 21st. Defending champion Travis Benjamin, is looking forward to the green flag. “Being a PASS champion is a great accomplishment!! There has only been 3 other drivers that can say that. I’ve worked my whole life to win the championship in some kind of sport and now I can say that I’m a champion!!”

Though the off season hasn’t been all fun and games… actually it has been as Travis has hit the hoops in his spare time. “This off season I’ve just been working a lot at Belfast Variety and during the off season I play a lot of basketball. There’s been two leagues in Belfast, one league in Ellsworth and another in Waterville. So that keeps me in shape.”

Ben Lynch is all set for the 2013 American Canadian Tour (ACT) race season opener at Lee Speedway. “The car has been done for a while. We had a great end to last year so there wasn’t much to do this off season. We just worked on the little things we had problems with last year. I’m excited for Lee. I think we should have a great car, and its hopefully going to kick start another great year. It’s one of the closest tracks to us so we end up with a lot of fans there, so I really wanna do well for all of them.”

Though Ben has kept busy in the over the winter monthes, “This off season has been just school and work. I’m still at UNC Charlotte studying Mechanical Engineering. That takes up most of my time. But when I’m not doing school work, I work at the Richard Petty Driving Experience. I give fans rides around race tracks like Charlotte Motor Speedway. It’s a great job and it keeps me behind the wheel of the of race cars all off season.”

PASS North title fight moves on to White Mountain Saturday

NAPLES ME (9/20) The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North Super Late Models head to the quick quarter mile at White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock New Hampshire Saturday evening and the topsy turvy battle for the 2012 championship continues to intensify.

DJ Shaw may come to remember this past Sunday’s PASS 300 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway as the race that took him out of the 2012 title hunt. Shaw went into the day trailing point leader Cassius Clark by nine markers and he looked like a contender Sunday until he was swept up in a mid race wreck, eventually finishing 20th. That result drop kicked Shaw from second in points to third, 45 points back. Shaw and his team never give up, but they will need a heaping helping of luck to get back in the title chase.
