I know that Star will be different.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWe\u2019re tied with Barry [Gray] for fourth in the points, we really don\u2019t 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.\u201d<br \/>\nGriffith also states, \u201cI 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\u2019t wait to get back behind the wheel and try to put the Tyngsboro Motors\/FEP Insurance Toyota Camry in victory lane.\u201d<br \/>\nThe 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.<br \/>\nDerek will be in action on September 6, 2014 at Star Speedway for 100 laps with the GSPSS.
