NAPLES, ME (May 4) \u2013 When the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North Super Late Models hit the track this Saturday<\/span> afternoon at New Hampshire\u2019s Star Speedway, they will be racing for more than just a checkered flag.\u00a0 The Support 50 Legs 150 will help raise awareness for a cause affecting far too many Americans.\u00a0 Steve Chamberland\u2019s 50 Legs organization is to help provide amputees with the necessary care and prosthetics, that they could not otherwise afford, and to help them live a happier and healthier life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So far this season, there have been three different winners in the first three PASS North Super Late Model events.\u00a0 PASS young gun Garrett Hall captured the checkered flag at Thompson Speedway and sits third in points.\u00a0 Ben Rowe edged out DJ Shaw and Johnny Clark in an amazing three wide finish at Oxford Plains Speedway.\u00a0 And, Shaw is coming off a win of his own at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway that saw him get the best of Joey Doiron on a late-race restart.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fellow New Hampshire driver Derrick Griffith, Jr. is hoping for success this weekend in his home state as he prepares for the Support 50 Legs 150 at Star Speedway this weekend.\u00a0 Griffith currently sits 10th<\/sup> in PASS North Super Late Model points, with a best finish of second coming at the season opener at Thompson Speedway.\u00a0 Griffith is excited for another opportunity to compete for a win Saturday<\/span> at Star Speedway.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cStar has been good to us, it\u2019s a fast little bullring and I love the way these high-horsepower PASS Super Late Models get around this track,\u201d says Griffith, driver of the Tyngsboro Motors\/50 Legs #12G.\u00a0 \u201cWe finished in the top 10 in last year\u2019s race and we were able to gather quite a bit of useful information.\u00a0 We\u2019ll see if we can use it to grab an even better finish this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another strong field is expected for Saturday<\/span> afternoon\u2019s Support 50 Legs 150, including former HP Hood Oxford 250 winners, Ben and Mike Rowe, who battled for the win at Star Speedway last year.\u00a0 Former PASS champions, Johnny Clark, Joey Doiron, and DJ Shaw are also entered, as well as former HP Hood Oxford 250 winners, Glen Luce and Joey Polewarcyzk.\u00a0 Griffith, Shaw, and Polewarcyzk will be joined by fellow Granite State natives Bryan Kruczek and Jeremy Davis, as well as Vermont\u2019s Todd Stone, Massachusetts\u2019 Derek Ramstrom, and New Brunswick\u2019s Matt Matheson.\u00a0 Maine drivers David Oliver, Dave Farrington, Jr., Richie Dearborn, Tracy Gordon, and Rusty Poland have also sent in pre-entries.<\/p>\n

All the action gets under way on Friday<\/span> at Star Speedway with rotating practice for all competing divisions from 4 \u2013 8 PM<\/span>.\u00a0 On Saturday<\/span>, practice will begin at 1:30 PM<\/span> with heat races slated to begin at 4:30 PM<\/span> followed by features for the PASS North Super Late Models, 350 Supers, Strictlys, and Roadrunners.<\/p>\n
