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.

NEW ATTITUDE: Ramstrom Vows To Learn From Experience
WEST BOYLSTON, Mass. — Derek Ramstrom doesn’t want to play the nice guy anymore.
After his No. 35 Charter Communications/Matthews Truck Service and Towing Chevrolet spun while racing for the lead off the final corner of Thursday night’s 30-lap Super Late Model feature at Thompson International Speedway, Ramstrom said he’s finally reached his breaking point.

Beaudry Wins a Wild One at Whip City,
Mark Taylor Wins Once, Flips Once
BY MARK McKEON
WESTFIELD, MA – After blowing an engine while going for the lead in his last outing, Jamie Beaudry probably would have been satisfied with a third place finish this week in the 1200cc Mini Sprint feature. Instead, he found himself in victory lane when leaders Paul Rose and Mark Taylor crashed during a restart. Taylor got the worst of it, flipping and cartwheeling down the front stretch. Pat Potter also flipped in the same accident.
“After we blew the engine, all we had left was a stock 1000cc, and that’s what we ran with tonight,” Beaudry said. “We got lucky tonight, but we were unlucky last time, so now we’re even.”
It was an Otis Elevator night for Taylor. Prior to his grinding flip in the 1200cc feature, he had won the 750cc main event. (more…)
