Northampton, PA — In 2008 two fixtures on the Northeast and New England racing scene will join together and tackle one of, if not the most competitive series in the United States. Eric Beers of Northampton, Penn., will pilot the familiar yellow 46 J & R Precast Troyer Chevrolets fielded by Berkley Auto Racing and car owner Bobby Katon. Beers, who has competed on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour for the past six seasons, is looking forward to the opportunity.
“As always it will be a busy season, but I can’t wait to get going,” offered Beers, who will also pilot his own machine in selected events throughout the Northeast. “Bobby (Katon) is just a tremendous individual and I’m really looking forward to working with him and all of his guys. In addition his crew members, we’ve had the opportunity to bring over some of our crew members, Kevin Crowley will be joining Dave Phillips working as co-crew chiefs, so I think all of the pieces are in place to have success right off the bat at Thompson.”

Naples, ME — Strange things happen in the night in October, and Saturday night at All-Star Speedway in Epping, NH may not be any different when the PASS North Super Late Models, PASS Modifieds, and the PASS Pullen Sportsman Series go at in the second last point’s race of the season.
Ben Rowe has felt his father’s breathe behind him many times before, but this time Mike is only twelve points behind his son in the PASS North Super Late Model Series title fight. If Mike finishes six spots ahead of Ben, assuming they both get the same amount of heat points, then they will share the lead going into the finale at White Mountain Motorsports Park on Sunday October 14th. And, as we have seen in the past, Richie Dearborn is right there 40 points out of the lead with two races to go if ether Rowe falters badly.

Naples, ME — As the race season winds down, so are the chances to see the drivers of the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North Super Late Models before they pack it in for a winter of bench racing. There are just two PASS North events just to run in 2007 and the next one will be a Saturday night shootout at All-Star Speedway in Epping, New Hampshire on October 6th.
“We’re looking forward to going back to All-Star Speedway,” said PASS President Tom Mayberry. “[Track owner] Bobby McArthur has done a great job making improvements for the fans and competitors at the track and there was plenty of action when we went there early in the Summer. The racing is always fantastic on the tight quarter-mile. It is also a track where they feature weekly Pro Stock racing, so we should pick up some of the guys who know the track well for this race. It will be a good show.”

Epping, NH – Ipswich, Mass. driver Justin Belfiore took a dominating win of the All-Star Classic Saturday night – a race he’d always dreamed of winning. He led the way after the first segment of the race, reformatted this year into two 75-lap segments. He then went on to dominate the second portion, especially after ISMA point leader Chris Perley had been eliminated late in the first race in a hard crash off the first turn. Justin acquired his third career ISMA-Wirtgen race by taking the prestigious Classic win and he also was able to give his young son Justin, a sweet birthday present to remember.
“I can’t believe it,” said Belfiore in victory lane. “The lap traffic was kind of tough. I’ve been doing this for a long time. I had a perfect car. My luck finally held out. I ran lean in practice and the team made it just right. I thought Chris was going to be tough there as the race went on. He and I were kind of swapping spots a couple times but then he got in that accident. I didn’t know if I had anyone to race with. He was the only one that was passing cars the way I was.

Epping, NH — Ben Seitz of Pocasset, MA, became the first North East Midget Association three-peat winner during the 2007 season for the Helping Hands of America/Wirtgen America series with a stunning performance on Saturday night at the All-Star Classic. The victory came on the heels of an extremely emotional week for the North East Midget Association, when one of the club’s most beloved, Marilyn Angelillo, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer.
Angelillo was, officially, the Northeastern Midget Association’s secretary for many years. Unofficially, she was the club’s social director, points keeper, publicity agent, organizer, sounding board, problem solver and, most importantly, its conscience. Marilyn, along with husband Gene, and the Dumo’s Desire crew amassed 14 owner championships throughout the last three decades.
