For Shaun Buffington, success at one of the premier race tracks in New England has never come easy. Buffington has won races all over New England, but had never picked up a win at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. That all changed during the Pro All Stars Series, Southern Maine Motors 150 weekend. The Amsoil Nelcar Legends Tour was one of many events on an action packed day of racing at “The Ridge,” and Shaun Buffington was finally able to get that monkey off his back when it came to racing on the fast 3/8s mile oval.
Constant rains throughout the week set the stage for a fresh track for the Legends Car on Saturday, and it all started with the first heat race that had the 81 of sophomore driver Dan Winter. On the start, Winter was able to get out to the lead, and held on for two laps until the 17 of Terry Kirk showed his experience at Beech Ridge and took over the lead. The 38 of Matt Bourgoine was on the move though, and it wasn’t long before he took the race lead and set sail. Bourgoine took the heat win over the 2 of Ryan Hammar and Winter rounded out the top three.

With a 2nd place finish at Unity Raceway and a 5th place finish on the road course at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS), 13 year old Reid Lanpher of Manchester, Maine has taken over as the points leader in the Amsoil NELCAR Series. This weekend NELCAR has a double header, racing at BRMS on Saturday, then at Seekonk Speedway on Sunday.
Though Reid is the current point’s leader, he will take a big hit in the standings after this weekend because of his age, he won’t be able to compete in any of the races at BRMS. “Yes, I couldn’t be happier with those two finishes. After NHMS last weekend I was very pleased to find myself in the points lead. It’s a shame I cannot run BRMS this Saturday and for the rest of the season, but I entirely understand that the tracks have a age limit and are sticking to it. I hope that I can continue running up front throughout the season.” Reid does have a chance of winning the NHMS Legends Championship this season.
