Hudson NH – Chad Wendell and Keith ‘Slika’ Ennis were both first time winners at Hudson International Speedway this past Sunday June 20th.
Wendell won the Thunder Light feature in his sixth career start following in the footsteps of his dad Mitch Wendell and brother Dean Wendell who have both visited victory lane many times in their own careers. Wendell took over the points lead with his win and hopes to continue another Wendell family tradition by collecting the championship hardware at season’s end like his dad and brother have. Erica Page ran well but didn’t have enough to catch Wendell and brought her pink Ford Escort home second. Third through fifth were Dylan Beecher, Dan Smith and John Daughenbaugh.

Shaw Looks To Home Advantage For Momentum
Center Conway, N.H.: DJ Shaw is no stranger to New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
The 20-year old son of Dale Shaw, the 1994 K&N Pro Series East Champion and three-time winner at NHMS, practically grew up around the 1.058-mile oval. Although he is a candidate for the 2010 Rookie-of-the-Year program, the youngest Shaw got his feet wet in the series last season starting both races at the ‘Magic Mile’. Entering the June 25 New England 125, DJ is more confident than ever. He is currently eighth in the K&N Pro Series East point standings with one top-five and three top-10 finishes in only four starts.
