With speeds equaling the Tour-Type Modifieds and faster than the Cup cars at Loudon, experience could be key in getting to victory lane on Sunday.\u00a0No one in Sunday\u2019s field will have more experience\u00a0than Rowley, MA driverEddie MacDonald.\u00a0\u00a0MacDonald has raced everything at New Hampshire Motor Speedway from ACT Late Models to Cup cars and has been a multiple-time winner in the K&N Pro Series East.\u00a0\u00a0As a matter of fact, MacDonald was the winner when PASS made their first visit to New Hampshire in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, for home state favorite, Derek Griffith, Sunday’s 50-lap dash has even more meaning.\u00a0\u00a0With his recent win at Speedway 95, Griffith has moved into the PASS North title fight, sitting just 50 markers behind points leader, Garrett Hall.\u00a0\u00a0And, after a 29th place finish at Hickory Motor Speedway in the Easter Bunny 150, Griffith knows a good run at New Hampshire could prove pivotal in him contending for a second straight PASS National Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“With the new Fury car and the momentum we have rolling, we are pretty excited to get out there,” says Griffith, driver of the LCM Motorsports Chevrolet #12.\u00a0\u00a0“New Hampshire is a track that makes us all excited.\u00a0\u00a0I have been there as a spectator to watch the big guys and it is just such an event to be a part of.\u00a0\u00a0We are going to try and focus on each race, one by one, instead of the points.\u00a0You can hurt yourself worrying about them.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
