After a dominant performance at his home track, Hudson International Speedway, Derek Griffith looks to stay hot as the Granite State Pro Stock Series travels to Star Speedway for the Star 100, June 27.Griffith, after picking up his second victory of the season (Claremont, Hudson), has slightly increased his point lead over Barry Gray, due in part to his spectacular streak to begin the 2015 campaign. The Hudson, NH native has yet to finish outside the top four in a Granite State Pro Stock Series event this year.Griffith has three top ten finishes in four starts at Star Speedway, but suffered multiple setbacks in the second event of 2014 at the facility, coming away with an 18th place finish.
Continues Griffith, “We’ve practiced [at Star] a lot to get the track down, and really work on me as a driver. Star will be a good race [for us], I hope.”
Dillon Moltz has entered the Star 100, as well. The Waterford, CT driver has run an “outlaw”-type schedule this year, choosing select events, and not committing to one series. With Star Speedway on the schedule, it was nearly a no-brainer to attend, as the former New London-Waterford Speedbowl champion earned a win and a second place in 2014.
When asked why Star Speedway was included in the plans for 2015, Moltz commented “Star [Speedway] is on our schedule, because we always run good there, and love going to a great track like Star that the Webber family put so much effort into. I’ve always done well there, and have always been fast right off the trailer. I have always seemed to click with that track. It’s a very racy track, and a true driver’s track.”

Griffith, Moltz, and the Granite State Pro Stock Series will run the fifth event of the season at Star Speedway, June 27. Star Speedway is located at 176 Exeter Road, in Epping, NH.

D.Griffith scored his third victory in five GSPSS starts sat. 6/27/2015 at the Star speedway. Leading all 100 laps, sometimes leading second place Mike Parks by a straighaway until a lap 93 caution flag, the first of the event tightened up the field. For the last 7 laps it was a 3 car battle to the finish line between Griffith, Parks and Dillon Moltz with Moltz nipping Parks at the line for second.
