Sanborn Capitalizes for Victory in Madcap Spring Spectacular

Battle and Dickey Triumph in Open-Wheel Action at WMMP

May 18, 2026 — N. Woodstock, NH — Cornish, Maine’s Trevor Sanborn was the last man standing at White Mountain Motorsports Park on Sunday, May 17, taking the victory at the HK Motorsports Spring Spectacular for the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Super Late Models.

In a race filled with plot twists and rug pulls, Sanborn was on the right end of fortune, inheriting the lead with two laps to go after Jimmy Renfrew’s spin and handling a green-white-checkered finish. It was Sanborn’s ninth career PASS North win, but his first since the 2025 Icebreaker at Thompson Speedway.

Johnny Clark, who was looking to set the all-time PASS win record at his best track, earned the pole in qualifying and led the first 18 laps. But Joey Doiron showed it wouldn’t be a cakewalk, soaring around the outside of Clark to go to the point.

A seemingly harmless spin by Pat Corbett to draw the first caution on lap 35 turned out to be the catalyst that turned a relatively calm race into a wacky affair. Eight laps later, Angelo Belsito went around in turn two for the second yellow. During that caution, Sanborn and Belsito were among the cars that pitted for adjustments, which proved to be a turning point for both.

“At this track, I feel like when you pit, you can come back up through the field fairly easily — you just have to stay out of the messes,” Sanborn said after the race. “We made an adjustment, and it helped some, but it wasn’t enough. We actually had to pit a second time. The next time we pitted and made a couple of more little adjustments, the car woke up. It had great drive off the corner, and it turned pretty good.”

On the restart, Cole Robie was slow to come up to speed from the third position, stacking up the inside line. That led to contact in turn one between Mike Scorzelli and reigning champion D.J. Shaw, triggering a melee that also collected Ryan Kuhn and Kaiden Fisher.

That was just the beginning of the dominoes to fall. Clark edged ahead of Doiron for two laps on the restart, but after some jostling, Clark, Alexendre Tardif, and Robie came together in the first corner on lap 48. Clark spun from the contact while Tardif suffered a flat tire, and Jimmy Renfrew Jr. snuck through to take over second.

Renfrew then swiped the top spot from Doiron on the restart, just before Robie and Shaw made contact in turn three as Shaw tried to claw back through the field. Shaw ended up jumping Robie’s left rear, and Gabe Brown was the innocent victim piling in, leaving all three with heavy damage.

The race calmed down for a while in the middle stages, but another incident erupted on lap 84. As Doiron and Sanborn fought for second while trying to get around Corbett, Doiron ended up pinched into the frontstretch wall, followed by Corbett spinning in turn one. Sanborn assumed second with a resurgent Clark taking over third.

However, it appeared no one had anything for Renfrew. The Candia, New Hampshire driver pulled away in search of his second win of the season, and even another yellow with 18 laps to go for Doiron’s flat tire didn’t slow his pace, leaving Sanborn in his dust as Clark and Belsito battled it out for third.

But entering the first turn with two laps remaining, Renfrew’s car suddenly went around, slipping in fluid dropped by Garrett Hall’s faltering machine. That brought out the final caution and gift-wrapped Sanborn the lead. Taking advantage of the unexpected opportunity, Sanborn quickly pulled away in the final sprint. He became the 19th different PASS Super Late Model winner in 56 events at the quarter-mile oval.

Clark fended off a charge from Belsito for second, with Belsito getting his first career PASS podium finish in third. Doiron and Shaw overcame their troubles to take fourth and fifth. Renfrew, Robie, Kate Re, Fisher, and Scorzelli completed the top 10. Full results are available at www.proallstarsseries.com/results/2026-results.

Jeffrey Battle of Dunstable, Massachusetts, picked up where he left off in the New England Super Modified Series (NESS), running down Dan Bowes late in the season-opening 50-lap feature. Bowes started on the pole and pulled away early, while the reigning champion had to come from the eighth starting position after a poor qualifying effort.

However, Battle steadily worked his way through the starting field, moving into the second spot on lap 23 and eventually chasing down Bowes. Battle made a bid on the outside with 10 laps to go, but the winningest NESS driver pinned him behind a lapped car to temporarily maintain the advantage.

Bowes couldn’t keep Battle at bay forever, though, and Battle made the second effort count, snatching the lead with seven laps remaining.  It was Battle’s eighth career NESS victory and second in a row at White Mountain Motorsports Park. Matt Swanson beat Ben Seitz for the final spot on the podium while Anthony Nocella rounded out the top five.

Milford, New Hampshire’s Stevey Dickey Jr. scored his first Kennebec Equipment Rental Modified victory in dominating fashion. Dickey, who acquired a Modified the day before the season started after a multi-year absence from racing, shook off the rust to go wire to wire in the 50-lap main event.

Action was plentiful behind him, as Spencer Morse and Bobby Seger Jr. kept swapping the second spot through a series of cautions, while Jacoby Maines, Reed Reno, and Shawn Knight put on a show charging from the back of the pack. Dickey was just too strong, though, and earned a trip to Victory Lane.

Morse was runner-up for the second straight event while Seger got his first podium finish with a third-place effort. Maine’s blitz through the field stalled out in fourth, while Ricky Thompson Jr. matched his career best in fifth. Reno, Zack Bowie, Knight, Cody Macomber, and Mike Penfold were sixth through 10th.

All three PASS touring series will be at Star Speedway on Sunday, May 24, for the previously weather-delayed Coastal 150. The event includes round one of the Dr. Mom Says School is Cool Challenge for the New England Supermodified Series.

Post time and pricing are TBA. The event will be broadcast live on the Northeast Short Track Network.

OPS and PASS Announce Full Details of Fan Appreciation Night

June 20 Event to Feature 6,000-Plus Free Tickets Plus SLM Oxford 250 Qualifier

Naples, Maine5/13/2026 — Officials with Oxford Plains Speedway (OPS) and the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) announced today full details of the upcoming OPS Fan Appreciation Night scheduled for Saturday, June 20.  Since its initial unveiling, the event has grown even bigger, with more free tickets and a 125-lap SLM qualifier for the 53rd Oxford 250.

Over 6,000 FREE general admission tickets will be available from over 40 sponsors who have partnered with the speedway in a unique sponsorship program made available to local businesses. A full list of participants will be posted at www.oxfordplains.com and www.proallstarsseries.com.

Headlining the card is a 125-lap points-paying event for the Mid-Coast Excavation Super Late Models, with $3,000 going to the winner and $550 to start.  Additionally, the “Kickoff to the Celebration of America” will be an Oxford 250 qualifier for the top-finishing driver in need of a provisional at the August 30 race. The entry form is now available on the OPS and PASS websites.

OPS has also released the full schedule of events for the late June spectacular, which will also feature the remaining six Oxford Championship Series weekly divisions as a part of a night that promises to be one of the biggest in 2026.

“We have been working on this event since late 2025,” said OPS President Tom Mayberry. “We are trying to pull out all the stops to make this a very special event for fans and competitors.”

Mayberry went on to note that pit admission will remain the normal weekly rate, and not the special event pricing.  Mayberry also noted that the purse structure for the Super Late Model event includes added start money to cover the entry fee and some fuel costs for the extra-distance race.

“We didn’t want our weekly competitors to have to pay more at the pit gate for this special event.  So, we decided it was best to keep the pit gate the same.  We also increased the normal start money to cover the entry fees and more for the SLM drivers,” said Mayberry.

In addition to more than 6,000 free admission tickets distributed by the fine partners of Oxford Plains Speedway, Fan Appreciation Night plans call for multiple food trucks, several types of giveaways, the T-shirt cannon, a fan meet-and-greet with an autograph session, special displays, food and drink specials, kid’s gifts, and the track mascot.

All of this will come on top of an amazing night of racing! The Mid-Coast Excavation Super Late Models have a special 125-lap event as part of a full card of Oxford Championship Series action, including the Dow Excavating Limited Sportsmen, Spaulding Roofing Specialist Street Stocks, Green Lawn Solutions Mad Bombers, KHM Thunder Stocks, 207 Flight School Runnin’ Rebels, and Aroma Joe’s Rookies.

Mayberry added that one of the biggest objectives is to give the partners involved something they can be proud to be a part of without a great deal of cost.  At the same time, the hope is some of these tickets will help expose new fans to some great racing at OPS. Partners chose from three different packages, all of which have at least 100 tickets to give away, to be a part of this historic night. 

Free tickets are being issued now to the following businesses for distribution: 207 Flight School, Russell & Sons Towing & Recovery, Creative Cleanouts by Josh, Spaulding Roofing Specialist, HawkEye Refrigeration, Gary’s Olde Town Tavern, Henry’s Concrete,he Belfast Variety, Just in Time Recreation, Rejuvenate Canna, Cannibis Haven/Smokers Haven Maine, Community Credit Union, Littlefield Excavation, K&K Property Maintenance, Kennebec Equipment Rental, and General Dynamics.

Barker Goes Wire to Wire at Lee USA for First PASS Victory

April 27, 2026 — Lee, NH — After 11 years and nearly 90 starts, Westbrook, Maine’s Brandon Barker became a Pro All Stars Series (PASS) winner on Saturday, April 25, at New Hampshires, Lee USA Speedway. The veteran started on the pole of the Strafford County 150 and never let go en route to a monumental victory over a stout field.

It was a fitting venue for Barker to post an inaugural PASS win, as he already had triumphed in multiple series at the track. However, he had yet to score a victory in a PASS North or National event in a career that dates to 2015. That all changed in the Lee USA Speedway season opener that also kicked off a new PASS-ACT lease agreement.

“Finally!” Barker exclaimed after the event. “I’m not really a points racer — I want to win races…and to say I’ve won along with the greats like Johnny Clark, Mike Rowe, Ben Rowe, D.J. (Shaw), Joey (Doiron), you know, it took me a few years, but I finally got it done.”

After earning the pole in qualifying, Barker ran off and left the field early. But Joey Doiron, another Lee USA Speedway standout, worked his way from seventh on the grid to second and eventually ran down Barker under a long green-flag run.

A lap-48 caution for Wayne Helliwell Jr.’s broken shock and subsequent flat tire slowed the event, as did a lap-66 yellow for a tangle involving Travis Stearns and Bobby Baillargeon. Barker showcased his short-run speed following each, pulling away from Doiron on the restart. Doiron was beginning to reel Barker back in when his left-rear tire let go in turn four on lap 99, sending him for a spin that ultimately took him out of contention for the victory.

That handed Gabe Brown the runner-up position, and he did his best to put pressure on Barker through several more cautions. They included a double-yellow when Corey Bubar crashed out of the fourth spot with 29 laps remaining, then Johnny Clark spun through the infield on the restart. Barker had the answer every time, though, and with Brown fighting a tight race car, Barker drove to his first PASS win in convincing fashion.

Brown’s second-place finish came despite having to replace a clutch following qualifying, giving him some redemption after a tough couple of weeks to open the PASS North season. Cole Robie out-dueled reigning champion D.J. Shaw on the final restart to finish third, marking his first podium effort with PASS.

After switching to a backup car due to a transmission failure in final practice, Garrett Hall methodically drove from the 21st starting position to come home fifth behind Shaw. Derek Griffith, Alexendre Tardif, Doiron, Ryan Kuhn, and Baillargeon completed the top 10.

In the 2026 lid-lifter for the Kennebec Equipment Rental PASS Modifieds, teenager Reed Reno of West Bath, Maine earned his second career victory in nearly as dominating fashion as Barker. Reno started third in the 50-lap event and stalked polesitter Bill Penfold in the early stages before ducking underneath him on lap 15 to take over the point.

Reno sailed out to a huge lead, but a flurry of yellows between laps 34 and 38 closed the field up, giving Spencer Morse, Jacoby Maines, and others multiple cracks at the lead. The youngster was too strong, though, and pulled away down the stretch.

Morse held off Maines for second, with Maines finishing third after starting 12th. Jeremy Davis came in fourth while Bobby Seger charged from last on the initial start to take fifth. Bill Penfold, Mike Penfold, Robert “Beaver” Norton, Tyler Fiscus, and Cody Macomber rounded out the top 10.

After a one-week break, the PASS North Super Late Models and Kennebec Equipment Rental PASS Modifieds return to the track at Epping, NH’s Star Speedway on Saturday, May 9 at 4:30pm. The Mother’s Day Weekend special also features the season opener for the New England Supermodified Series and the Coastal Clash 150 for the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour.

General admission pricing is TBA. The event will also be live-streamed on the North East Short Track Network (www.nestn.tv) with pay-per-view, monthly subscription, and yearly subscription options.

Shaw Finally Achieves Magic Mile Glory at 6th Annual Northeast Classic

April 20, 2026 — Loudon, NH — After numerous close calls and what-could-have-beens, Center Conway, NH’s D.J. Shaw permanently etched himself in the history books at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) on Saturday, April 18. Shaw inherited the lead late in the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North portion of the 6th Annual Northeast Classic after Gabe Brown suffered an electrical failure, then held off Eddie “The Outlaw” MacDonald in a green-white-checkered finish.

Since the Northeast Classic began in 2021, Shaw had posted five top-five finishes between PASS and the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour (ACT). However, the nine-time PASS champion had yet to win at the hallowed New Hampshire track. But on Saturday, fortune favored the younger Shaw, giving him his 35th career PASS Super Late Model victory in the process.

“It’s unbelievable, really,” Shaw said after the race. “(It’s) more emotional than I would have expected. I’m very proud of the car, the team — everybody behind this thing.”

Mike Hopkins swiped the lead from polesitter Brown on the opening start and led the first 15 laps of the 50-lap event. Brown applied constant pressure, though, and he eventually took the lead back and pulled away as Hopkins, Shaw, and MacDonald sliced and diced for the runner-up spot.

Shaw snared the second position from Hopkins just before a planned competition break at lap 30, where teams changed right-side tires and made adjustments. When the field went back green, Brown leapt away again as Shaw found himself in another scramble, with Ryan Kuhn and Alexendre “Fireball” Tardif joining the mix.

Eventually, Shaw separated himself from the fray and chased down Brown as Kuhn, Tardif, and Hopkins dogged MacDonald for third. Shaw made a bid to the inside entering turn three with five laps to go, but couldn’t make his #60 stick and was forced to regroup.

As the duo exited turn four to complete lap 47, Brown suddenly slowed as his alternator gave out. Shaw alertly darted around him, giving him a huge lead over what was suddenly a battle for second place between the MacDonald-Tardif-Kuhn-Hopkins quartet.

There was one more twist, though, as Brown was unable to coast all the way to the pit area, eventually stopping halfway down the backstretch. That brought out the second caution of the event and set up a two-lap dash to the finish in the PASS North season opener.

MacDonald, a 13-time winner at NHMS, did his best to take advantage of his second chance, getting underneath Shaw as they flew into turn three for the final time. Former PASS champion Kuhn then made it three-wide in the last corner, but Shaw used the momentum on the high side to beat them all in the sprint to the checkered flag.

“I was hoping Gabe could make it around, but (his car) shut down in the worst possible spot to make it back around on a track this big,” Shaw remarked. “So, I kind of prepared myself for that coming and just got in the mindset that we were going to have to fight for it again. I went back to work, and fortunately, this thing was a hot rod today.”

MacDonald settled for second place in back-to-back years at the Northeast Classic. Tardif, who started 14th and needed to borrow a transmission from Shaw after his primary unit gave up the ghost, edged Kuhn by a whisker for third. Hopkins, Cole Robie, Derek Griffith, Jimmy Renfrew Jr., Brandon Barker, and Trevor Sanborn rounded out the top 10.

The PASS North Series is at New Hampshire’s Lee USA Speedway this Saturday, April 25, for the Stafford County 150, PASS’s first visit to Lee since 2021. Post time is 2:00pm for another action-packed card that includes the New Hampshire Governor’s Cup 150 for the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour, plus the season openers for the Kennebec Equipment Rental PASS Modifieds, and GoMotorsportsShop.com NELCAR Legends Tour.

Admission is $30 for adults, $10 for juniors aged 6-12, and free for ages five and under. The event will also be live-streamed on the North East Short Track Network (www.nestn.tv) with pay-per-view, monthly subscription, and yearly subscription options.

New One-Day Saturday Showcase for the Northeast Classic at New Hampshire Motor Speedway

Forecasted Showers Friday and Sunday Make for a Super Saturday at the Magic Mile

 

Barre, VT & Naples, ME — Officials with the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour and Pro All Stars Series (PASS) have been forced to make changes to the schedule of the 6th Annual Northeast Classic at New Hampshire Motor Speedway due to forecasted showers on Friday and Sunday. That said, officials have opted to build a one-day show on Saturday, April 18 with a 1:00pm start time. Teams and campers will still be able to arrive on site starting at 4:00pm Friday for camping and early pit parking until 7:00pm.

Following a perfect weather weekend at Thompson Speedway for the annual Icebreaker, ACT and PASS officials were optimistic for a clear start to the season, but Mother Nature has made other plans. With several meteorological sites calling for heavy downpours on Friday and Sunday, Officials have opted to make the 6th Annual Northeast Classic into a one-day show on Saturday.

Pit Gates will open at 6:30am for teams to begin preparations for the day with Grandstands open at 9:30am alongside the start of practice. Racing will begin at 1:00pm with qualifying events. All divisions will get three rounds of practice. With the schedule change, the 604 Modifieds have been dropped from the event due to time constraints, and Friday’s early parking between 4:00pm and 7:00pm remains on the schedule.

The Pit Booth will be open Friday, April 17 between 4:00pm and 7:00pm to pre-sell pit passes ahead of Saturday’s early morning opening. Parking for campers and race teams will also be available between 4:00pm and 7:00pm on Friday.

“This is by no means a decision we take lightly as we make every effort to get this event in to start our season,” said ACT managing partner Cris Michaud. “Saturday’s forecast is much more optimistic and we’re looking forward to getting our teams another great experience on the Magic Mile.”

The Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour will kick off the 2026 season at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the 6th annual Northeast Classic on Saturday, April 18. Complete with the PASS Super Late Models, Modified Racing Series, R&R Street Stock Open Series and Pro Truck Challenge, the Northeast Classic will once again give Northeast racers their chance to take on our region’s great palace of stock car racing on Saturday, April 18.

While every event will continue to be available in a Pay-Per-View format, fans can also support this local start-up by subscribing to a cancel-anytime Monthly plan for $60 a month or purchase a Yearly subscription for $350. Yearly subscribers will get the benefit of watching each event for under $6 a piece with access to much more!

Active subscribers will have access to all live events and on-demand replays of both current and past events while Pay-Per-View fans can rewatch past purchases. Along with the eight events during the midsummer stretch, subscribers will also have access to the entire Thunder Road schedule 72 hours after all events air live.

Subscribers to NESTN will access select events at Thunder Road Speedbowl, on the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour and Pro All Stars Series as well as White Mountain Motorsports Park, Thompson Speedway, Lee USA Speedway and on the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series.

“They were aware that subscriptions were the number one question mark for fans and this is something NESTN has put a lot of thought into,” said ACT managing partner Cris Michaud. “The three options allow a watch-it-your-way alternative that isn’t available anywhere else.”

Coming up is a busy month for the North East Short Track Network with the 52nd Icebreaker at Thompson Speedway on Saturday and Sunday, April 11 and 12, the Northeast Classic at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) on Sunday, April 19 and the Opening Day doubleheader at Lee USA Speedway on Saturday, April 25. Sign up today for either a Monthly or Yearly subscription for access to all or Pay-Per-View options will be available starting with $60 for Thompson, $40 for NHMS and $40 for Lee.

The North East Short Track Network is a home-grown, revenue sharing streaming service based here in New England that started in 2025 growing from two tracks and thirteen events to five tracks, three touring series and nearly 100 events scheduled for 2026. Subscribers will have access to over 100 past and upcoming events this year with Seekonk Speedway opting to remain Pay-Per-View only for their events.

For more information and to sign up today, search for the North East Short Track Network online at www.nestn.tv or find NESTN on the Google Play Store, Android TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV and Samsung TV. The Apple iOS app is in development and to be released soon!
