Ryan Newman broke the track record set in July on his way to taking the pole for the SYLVANIA 300. Kasey Kahne and Jeff Gordon also broke the record and will start second and third, respectively.
Scarborough, ME – DJ Shaw continued his late season surge for the Pro All Stars Series North Championship with a runner up finish at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in the 8th Annual Southern Maine Motors 300. The #60 Precision JLM machine was fast all day, and ran in the top three for most of the event and picked up a lot of points in the championship picture with just one race remaining.
“We had a solid car all day and it was fun racing for the win with Austin (Theriault) and Derek (Ramstrom),” Shaw said after the event, “I didn’t want to push it too hard there at the beginning but coming from outside the top ten and then having to race as hard as everyone else was up front, but all in all it was a great race and great points day for us, we have a shot going into Oxford.”
The weekend started out on Saturday with the heat races. Shaw started on the outside of the front row, and overtook Brad Babb early to grab the heat win. That was the second heat win of the season for Shaw, who has been stellar in the qualifiers lately. The big 300 lap feature event took place the next day on Sunday in front of a great crowd at Beech Ridge. (more…)

Adam Norton, Eddie Brehio III, Mike Stebbins, Joe Ethier, and Kyle Boniface won the battles Saturday, Sept. 14, at Monadnock Speedway. But of the quintet of feature winner, only Brehio achieved the ultimate conquest of winning his division’s season championship.
While Norton earned his fifth victory of the summer in the blockbuster Sportsman Modified division, Bill Kimball was content to hold his position further back and lock up his third speedway championship. Likewise in the Mini Stock main event, where Mike Stebbins rocketed to his fourth win of the season, with Beth Adams following him under the checkers to earn her first track title.
Ed Lofland copped the 2013 Thunder Stock championship with a risky strategy, but one that paid off. While Joe Ethier earned his first victory of the season, Lofland was content to ride in third, tying Ethier in points, but grabbing the title on a tiebreaker, outnumbering the night’s winner in feature victories by a five-to-one margin.
