Derek Griffith, the 2015 Granite State Pro Stock Series (GSPSS) Champion; currently sits near the top-10 in the very competitive Pro All Star Series (PASS) North Tour.<\/p>\n<p>Griffith who enters this weekend coming off a disappointing finish at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway where an accident forced out the Hudson, NH native early in the event and forced the McKennedy Bros. Masonry\/LCM Racing\/Tyngsboro Motors race team to work long hours getting the No. 12 back to racing form.<\/p>\n<p>Derek talks about the events at Beech Ridge, \u201cWe had a pretty fast piece, right off the trailer. We were able to grab a fourth place finish in the heat race and that translated to a tenth place starting spot in the feature. On lap five, one of the veterans of the tour decided to try a move on the front stretch that he didn\u2019t have room for, he got me loose and it snapped us directly into the wall. It\u2019s unfortunate but that\u2019s racing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Turning his attention to the quarter-mile Star Speedway, Derek feels like he can rebound and come away with a great finish. \u201cStar has been good to us, it\u2019s a fast little bullring and I love the way these high-horsepower Super Late Models get around this track. We finished in the top-ten in last year\u2019s race and we were able to gather quite a bit of useful information. We\u2019ll see if we can use it to grab an even better finish this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Support 50 Legs 150-lap event at Star Speedway is set for Saturday, May 7th with a 4:30pm start time<\/p>\n<p>Follow Derek on Social Media on Twitter at Twitter.com\/DerekGriffith12 and Facebook at Facebook.com\/DerekGriffith18 and of course visit Derek\u2019s website at www.derekgriffith.com<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Epping, NH) \u2013 Trying to become a contender in one series is hard but to become a force in two series is quite a feat indeed.
