Epping, NH – Derek Griffith, the young and talented pro-stock driver from Hudson, NH is looking to rebound after a pair of disappointing finishes as the GSPSS returns to the quarter-mile Star Speedway in Epping, NH.
The 17 year-old driver of the No 12 Mom’s of Machester/LCM Racing Toyota recently finished in the 8th position after a series of misfortunes during the Hudson Hugger at Hudson International Speedway back on August 23rd.
Derek remarked, “We are not very happy with the way things turned out, we needed to finish strong at our home track and we just couldn’t find our rhythm. I know that Star will be different.”
“We’re tied with Barry [Gray] for fourth in the points, we really don’t think about the points all that much but as the season winds down, our focus is to get the best finishes possibleand to finish out the season as best we can.”
Griffith also states, “I think we can certainly contend for the win at Star, we have a great set-up and I had the fastest car before our mishap with Gelinas. I can’t wait to get back behind the wheel and try to put the Tyngsboro Motors/FEP Insurance Toyota Camry in victory lane.”
The last time the GSPSS raced at Star was August 16th. Griffith finished in a season low 18th place as he and Larry Gelinas tangled early on, however Derek consistently runs in the top 5 at Star Speedway and is looking for his first career Granite State Pro Stock Series victory.
Derek will be in action on September 6, 2014 at Star Speedway for 100 laps with the GSPSS. The post time is 6 pm
