Ryan Kuhn Takes PASS 400 Overall Win at Oxford Plains

Story courtesy of Racing America

The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Super Late Models concluded their 2026 season with the Spencer Group Paving PASS 400 on Sunday at Oxford Plains Speedway. Mike Rowe, Eddie MacDonald and Johnny Clark earned segment wins, with Ryan Kuhn taking the overall PASS 400 crown.

Mike Rowe dominated the first segment, leading all 100 laps for the win. Each segment counted for full feature points as a PASS Super Late Model race, giving Rowe another feature win to add to his unparalleled resume at Oxford Plains.

"I saw D.J. coming, so I had to get going," said Rowe. "He was going good. I want to thank all you guys for coming out here today, hopefully we can have another good run."

Segment two was a battle between Eddie MacDonald and Jesse Switser. Following a 20-car invert from the results of segment one, MacDonald started on the outside of the front row and jumped to the lead. Switser took the top spot on lap 13, but MacDonald raced back around Switser just past the halfway mark.

With the win, MacDonald scored his first PASS Super Late Model victory since April 14, 2024 in the Northeast Classic at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

"The car was much better than the first segment," said MacDonald. "The guys did a great job on it. I've got to thank Dave Lemieux for sticking with us through the hard times of trying to get fast again."

After two segments, Gabe Brown led Ryan Kuhn by one point and Jimmy Renfrew, Jr. by three points in the battle for the PASS 400 win. That set the stage for the final 200-lap segment.

Three heat races started the afternoon, with Trevor Sanborn Mike Rowe and Jimmy Renfrew, Jr. scoring heat race wins.

Johnny Clark won the 200-lap battle in the final segment, becoming the winningest driver in the history of the Pro All Stars Series. The victory marks his 53rd win under the PASS banner, breaking a tie with Ben Rowe.

"It's pretty cool to knock the Rowes off, finally, to beat Ben Rowe," said Clark. "I've had the Super Late Model wins wrapped up for a while, especially in the North. We didn't travel around the South and run all the races those guys did. We've won the most races now, that's pretty cool."

With finishes of fourth, fourth and fifth across the three segments, Ryan Kuhn earned the PASS 400 overall win. Needing to finish ahead of Gabe Brown in the final segment, Kuhn's fifth-place effort was more than enough to surpass a 10th place finish by Brown.

"This is one heck of a team," said Kuhn. "A small little team from Massachusetts coming out of a two-car garage. Thankful, and thankful for Dale Shaw Race Cars that built this badass piece. It took us a while to get the hang of it, but she was a badass piece tonight."

D.J. Shaw finishes the year as the PASS North Super Late Model champion, his 11th title with the series.

Doiron Snaps Skid in VoteReady.com Oktoberfest 150 at Lee USA

McKennedy and Brackett Take Modified Wins while Battle Secures NESS Title

Lee, New Hampshire — October 19, 2026 — Berwick, Maine’s Joey Doiron finally got off the schneid with his first win of the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) 150 on Saturday, October 17 at New Hampshire’s Lee USA Speedway. Doiron took the lead for good on a lap-102 restart and pulled away down the stretch to win the VoteReady.com Oktoberfest 150.

In the process, Doiron became the first repeat winner in PASS’s 14 visits to “New Hampshire’s Center of Speed.” Doiron also won at the facility in PASS competition in 2021.

Ben Tinker led the 27-car field to the initial green flag but immediately surrendered the top spot to Travis Stearns. After pacing the event for the first eight circuits, it was Stearns’ turn to give up the point as Doiron took over from his third starting position.

Doiron held the lead through multiple early cautions, including a lap-12 skirmish in turn three that sidelined J.P. Josiasse and Pat Corbett while collecting Gabe Brown and Gabe Brown. The event took another dramatic turn on lap 18 when Eddie MacDonald and Jimmy Renfrew Jr. got together out of turn four while fighting for fourth.

Renfrew, who was gunning for his third straight PASS North victory, spun to the infield and clipped the pit wall but was able to continue. Shortly afterward, though, Brown pulled into the pits with a mechanical failure that eliminated the points runner-up from competition.

Doiron was soon faced by two new challengers. MacDonald grabbed the lead on a lap-42 restart following Frankie Eldredge’s spin, then kept it through two more yellows, including when Mike Mitchell smacked the turn two wall. As MacDonald and Renfrew diced it out, Trevor Sanborn entered the fray, swiping the lead on lap 73 after coming from 11th on the grid.

The number-three point driver began walking away in pursuit of victory as Doiron took second back from MacDonald and Renfrew rejoined the picture. It wasn’t to be for Sanborn, though, as Griffith got turned around again on lap 102 to bring out the final caution flag.

Doiron got the jump on the restart to recapture the lead with Renfrew following him around for second. But Renfrew, who at this point also had a pushed-in hood, couldn’t do anything with Doiron down the stretch.

 

Sanborn completed the podium, followed by MacDonald and Alexendre Tardif. Point leader D.J. finished a quiet sixth, taking advantage of Brown’s misfortune. Ryan Kuhn, Bobby Baillargeon, Kaiden Fisher, and Corey Bubar rounded out the top 10.

The New England Supermodified Series (NESS season finale saw Chelmsford, Massachusetts’ Jon McKennedy take down the VoteReady.com Oktoberfest 50 in a barnburner. McKennedy steadily climbed from 10th in the 16-car field and was running second to point leader Jeffrey Battle when Mike Keddy spun in turn one with seven laps to go.

On the restart, McKennedy got the jump from the outside to assume the lead, only for another quick caution to fly when Keith Morrill went around in turn three. This set up a five-lap shootout with McKennedy and Battle swapping lanes. A breathtaking fight followed, as the two masters raced within inches of each other without ever leaving a mark.

When the final lap started, it was too close to call between the duo. The shorter way around finally paid off for McKennedy, though, as he edged Battle at the finish to nail down his third win of the year.

Battle’s second-place effort was more than enough to claim his second straight NESS championship. Derek Griffith passed P.J. Stergios on the last restart to claim third. Fifth through tenth went to Dan Bowes, Russ Wood, Eddie Witkum, Tyler Thompson, Morrill, and Mark MacIver.

Auburn, Maine’s Thomas Brackett pulled off a monumental upset to claim the VoteReady.com 50 for the Kennebec Equipment Rental PASS Modifieds. The rookie started on the outside pole alongside point leader Jacoby Maines, and after a pair of quick yellows, Brackett surprised everyone by getting the upper hand.

Jeremy Davis then grabbed the second spot and chased Brackett around the 3/8-mile oval lap after lap, unable to find a way around him. Brackett, who had never had a top five finish in the PASS Modifieds before Saturday, seemed on his way in the closing circuits.

But on the last lap, the leaders caught the lapped car of Tom Harwood, and that gave Davis an opportunity to get underneath Brackett down the backstretch. Brackett, though, was not to be denied. The rookie matted the throttle out of the final corner, ricocheted off the frontstretch wall, and slid across the finish line just 0.057 seconds ahead of Davis.

Maines took home third, strengthening his point lead heading into the season finale. Spencer Morse, Bill Penfold, Tyler Connolly, Chanler Harrison, Jaxson Moreside, Cody Macomber, and Harwood completed the top 10.

The Pro All Stars Series wraps up the 2026 season on October 24 and 25 with Spencer Group Paving PASS 400 Weekend at Maine’s Oxford Plains Speedway. The PASS North Super Late Models have three segments on Sunday, October 25, including the VoteReady.com 200, each of which counts for points toward the championship. The overall winner is guaranteed $10,000 plus segment and contingency awards.

The Kennebec Equipment Rental PASS Modifieds have the VoteReady.com 75 on Saturday, October 24 to crown the 2026 champion. The weekend also includes the $5,000-to-win Limited/Street Stock Challenge, the VoteReady.com 80 for the Green Lawn Solutions Mad Bombers, the VoteReady.com Twin 35’s for the ACT Flying Tigers, the VoteReady.com 50 for the KHM Thunder Stocks, the 207 Flight School Rebels, the GoMotorsportsShop.com NELCAR Legends, and the Wicked Good Vintage Racing Association.

54th Annual Oxford 250 Set for August 20-22, 2027

October 13, 2026 — Oxford, Maine — Officials at Oxford Plains Speedway (OPS) and the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) announced today that the dates for the 54th Annual Oxford 250 weekend have been set for August 20, 21, and 22, 2027. The three-day racing spectacular will once again bring together the best Super Late Model competitors from across New England and beyond, all chasing one of the most coveted trophies in short track auto racing at the historic facility.

“We are thrilled to set the date for the 54th running of the Oxford 250,” said PASS and OPS President Tom Mayberry. “There is a tremendous amount of planning by the organizations, race teams, and fans that goes into an event of this magnitude, so we wanted to get the date out there so that process can begin.”

First held in 1974, the Oxford 250 has become a late-summer tradition that attracts thousands of race fans and creates memories that last a lifetime.  With the speedway capable of welcoming crowds of up to 14,000 spectators, the Oxford 250 weekend combines on-track competition with the tradition, camping, and fan interaction that have made the event a bucket-list destination for short track racing fans for more than five decades.

The 54th running will also carry the momentum of a 2026 event that saw Saturday night regular Brandon Barker etch his name into Oxford 250 history. Barker's victory showed once again that anyone who has the proper preparation, determination, and a little bit of luck can win one of the nation’s biggest short track races.

A major part of what makes the Oxford 250 unique is its qualifying format. Starting positions for the heat races are determined by a random draw on the frontstretch, putting established teams and local racers on equal footing when the weekend begins. Twenty lap heat races, consolation rounds, and a last chance race set the 42-car starting field. The format places a premium on passing, race craft, and determination, often giving local underdogs an opportunity to earn a starting position alongside some of the biggest names in racing.

“Each year, we want the Oxford 250 to be as good or better than the year before.  As good as the racing has been the last four or five years, we think the 2027 version will be even better,” said Mayberry.

Beyond the racing itself, the Oxford 250 weekend has grown into one of the largest sporting spectacles in Maine.  The massive three-day festival draws fans from all over the Northeast and beyond, creating an electric atmosphere throughout the Oxford Plains Speedway grounds.

On August 20-22, 2027, drivers will arrive at Oxford Plains Speedway with the same goal that competitors have chased since 1974: survive the qualifying gauntlet, conquer 250 laps, and have their name permanently etched into the history books alongside such greats as Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Ralph Nason, Bubba Pollard, Jeff Taylor, Mike Rowe, Dave Dion, and more as the winner of one of the most prestigious short-track races in America.  The 54th Annual Oxford 250 promises to again deliver speed, strategy, drama, and the unpredictable racing that has made the event a longstanding tradition.

Battle Sets New NESS Season Win Mark at Thompson Speedway

October 12, 2026 — Thompson, CT — Jeffrey Battle continued making New England Supermodified Series (NESS) history at Connecticut’s Thompson Speedway this past Saturday, October 10. The Dunstable, Massachusetts driver took the lead on a lap 10 restart and rolled to his seventh NESS victory of the 2026 season.

The win broke Battle’s own record of six set in 2025. The triumph was also Battle’s second of the weekend after taking the NESS victory the night before.

Former champion Dan Bowes started on the pole for the 40-lap feature and led the first eight laps. Derek Griffth and Battle were on his tail, and a great race-long fight seemed to be shaping up.

However, in turn three on the ninth circuit, Bowes’s machine suddenly got squirrely and didn’t stop. Griffth got past to lead lap nine, then Bowes spun the next time through turn three. A flat right rear tire and cracked wheel were the culprits that ended his day early.

Battle got the jump on Griffth when the race restarted and tried to motor away from there. Griffith found himself under constant attack from Matt Swanson, the previous Saturday’s winner. The two chased each other and Battle through lapped traffic around the 5/8-mile oval, with Griffith holding on for lap after lap despite damage to his top wing.

Although Battle had a couple of close calls in traffic, he was up to the challenge and walked to the win by 2.486 seconds. Combined with his heat race victory, Battle put a hammerlock on the point lead. He now only needs to start the season finale at Lee USA Speedway to clinch his second straight NESS championship.

Swanson finally snuck past Griffith on the final lap to take second, continuing his impressive late-season charge. Griffith rounded out the podium, followed by P.J. Stergios in fourth. Despite missing his heat race with a bad shifter cable, Russ Wood charged from the final row to finish fifth, the last car on the lead lap in the 12-car field.

The New England Supermodified Series concludes its 2026 campaign with Oktoberfest at Lee USA Speedway on Saturday, October 17. Along with the 50-lap NESS feature, the action-packed Saturday card includes the PASS North Super Late Models, Kennebec Equipment Rental PASS Modifieds, Tri-City Lining Street Stock/Limited Challenge, Pro-4 Modifieds, Ridge Runners, MLM Diagnostic Services Crown Vics, and Senior Tour Auto Racers. Visit www.proallstarsseries.com or www.leespeedway.com for the full weekend schedule, pricing, and other information.

PASS 400 Weekend Announces Schedule Adjustments

October 8, 2026 — Naples, Maine — Officials at Oxford Plains Speedway and the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) have announced several schedule adjustments for the upcoming Spencer Group Paving PASS 400 Weekend. Most notably, the Super Late Model portion will now be condensed into a one-day show on Sunday, October 25, with optional practice sessions scheduled for Saturday, October 24.

The highly anticipated three-segment PASS 400 format will remain unchanged, featuring 100-lap, 100-lap, and 200-lap segments. In addition, officials have distributed purse money throughout the field, ensuring that all drivers who start each of the three segments receive a guaranteed $2,000 payday.

The stakes will remain high as all three segments will be considered official PASS races and therefore count toward the PASS North Championship.  With Lee USA Speedway this coming weekend, and the three points-paying races at Oxford as a part of Spencer Group Paving PASS 400 Weekend, the yearly title is still very much up for grabs.  The format gives teams multiple opportunities to earn substantial money throughout the day, with each segment paying $2,000 to win and the overall winner getting a cool $10,000 while keeping the battle for the overall championship wide open.

With the Super Late Model program condensed into one action-packed day, Sunday’s schedule will get underway with heat races at noon, with feature racing scheduled to begin by 1:00 p.m.  

Joining the Sunday card will be the popular ACT Flying Tiger division with a pair of their own Monza-style 35 lap features.  Rounding out the Sunday show is the Street Stock/Limited Challenge Honey Badger Bar & Grill 100, which will be a pair of 50-lap races. 

As part of the schedule adjustment, the Kennebec Equipment Rental PASS Mods will now move to a Saturday-only format, joining the Green Lawn Solutions Mad Bombers as featured events on that day. The GoMotorsportsShop.com NELCAR Legends, Crown Vics, 207 Flight School Runnin' Rebels, and Wicked Good Vintage Racing Association are also in action as a part of a jam-packed Saturday format.

With big money on the line, three PASS points-paying races, a championship to decide, and a strong undercard, PASS 400 Weekend is shaping up to be one of the biggest events of the season at Oxford Plains Speedway.

The PASS 400 Weekend is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25. The updated schedule of events, pricing, and other information is available at www.oxfordplains.com and www.proallstarsseries.com.
