Griffith Picks Up $10,000 Keen Parts 150 Win At Lee
LEE, NH - 9/19/25 – Cup Weekend at New Hampshire Motor Speedway kicked off in style Friday night at New Hampshire’s Center of Speed with the $10,000-to-win Keen Parts 150 for the Granite State Pro Stock Series – and the packed house saw an instant classic. Hudson, NH’s Derek Griffith (#12G) made a decisive move from his third starting spot, methodically working his way forward and ultimately parking it in Victory Lane, taking home the big payday and celebrating with a crowd of cheering fans.
Griffith had to hold off a hard-charging Corey Bubar (#12X), who charged through the field to finish runner-up, and Joseph Doiron (#73D), who fought off a hungry pack of challengers to round out the podium. Eddie MacDonald (#17MA) and Brandon Barker (#32) completed the top five in a 150-lap feature that saw green-flag racing, strategy pit stops, and plenty of two-groove action that kept fans on their feet.
Nashua, NH’s Andrew Morin (#30) put together one of the best drives of his season, taking the 25-lap Super Street feature win in dominating fashion. Morin took the lead in the second half of the race and never looked back, holding off hard chargers Justin Beecher (#57) and Austin Erickson (#22). Geoff Rollins (#02) and Todd Libby (#80) completed the top five in a race that saw close battles all the way through the field.
The 50-lap Ridge Runner feature was a barnburner, with Gage Osborne (#55) from Plaistow, NH taking home the checkered flag. Osborne had to survive multiple restarts and hold off Stone Slattery (#99), who kept the pressure on in the closing laps. Carl Gagnon (#99NH) came home third, with Kyle Dumas (#15) and Derek McKeen (#1) rounding out the top five. The race was one of the most competitive Ridge Runner events of the season, featuring side-by-side action for much of the night.
In one of the wildest races of the evening, Tyngsboro, MA’s Keith Walton (#04JR) navigated traffic and contact-filled racing to claim the 20-lap Crown Vic win. Walton outdueled Cody Billings (#22) and Patrick Tanguay (#28), who rounded out the podium. Jake Guarino (#69) and Alex Tanguay (#79) also earned solid top-five finishes in a feature that brought the fans to their feet with three-wide racing and plenty of bumpers used.
The Keen Parts 150 once again lived up to its reputation as one of the premier short track events in New England, with fans treated to side-by-side battles and a star-studded field. Add in three competitive support divisions, and Friday night at Lee USA Speedway proved to be the ultimate kickoff to NASCAR Cup weekend in Loudon.
