N. Woodstock, NH — White Mountain Motorsports Park will celebrate its 30th season of competition on Saturday, May 14 and Sunday, May 15. A doubleheader weekend is planned to mark the occasion with eight divisions in action highlighted by the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Super Late Models.
The North Woodstock oval first opened its doors in 1993. With that year being the first of racing on the high banks, 2022 will be year number 30 for “Thunder in the Mountains”. Track officials have thus made the first weekend one that will set the tone for a huge season ahead.
Barre, VT — The American-Canadian Tour (ACT) announced today that it has completed the move of its main offices to Barre, VT. It is the first time that ACT has moved to a new headquarters since the organization’s founding in 1986.
Have suitcase, will travel. That is the motto of Jerry Babb, who left the state of Maine to advance his career in motorsports after having a cup of tea in the driver ranks.
He’s worked and tried his hands in lots of places. The journey saw its highest point after a crafty-Maine former driver won the Snowball Derby as crew chief to young Georgia driver Chandler Smith on Sunday. (more…)
(Stafford Springs, CT)—Matt Scappini took a somewhat unique path to joining Stafford Speedway’s Limited Late Model division as a rookie driver. Prior to the 2021 season, Scappini’s only racing experience consisted of a limited amount of go kart racing and snowmobile racing. Scappini’s lack of experience never manifested itself during the 2021 season as he drove his #10 JRC Transportation Chevrolet to NAPA Victory Lane on September 3rd as part of his 3 top-5 and 20 top-10 finishes that helped him capture R.A.D. Auto Machine Limited Late Model Rookie of the Year honors.
Jake Garcia kept applying the pressure, but Derek Thorn executed a flawless race to win the Snowflake 100 for the second time in three years.
Thorn led wire-to-wire, but several restarts gave Garcia a chance.
Ultimately, the two were too evenly matched and Thorn had the track position earned in time trials earlier in afternoon to continue a perfect weekend. (more…)

Ryan Preece spent the past several years watching the Snowball Derby from home and wondered why he wasn’t there too.
So, he decided to do something about it.
Simultaneously, NASCAR Cup Series crew chief and 2007 CRA Super Series champion driver Chris Gabehart had also been fighting the itch to get back into the Super Late Model game in some capacity. So, he decided to do something about that too. (more…)
Another big crowd of fans and competitors will squeeze into 5 Flags Speedway this weekend (December 3-5) for Snowball Derby racing… (entry lists for all the different classes): (more…)
