Shaw&#8217;s first start at Dover International Speedway. His father, Dale Shaw, won at this track in 2001 after a hard-fought battle with Dale Quarterley.<\/p>\n<p>    * DJ Shaw has 11 career starts in the NASCAR K&#038;N Pro Series East. In that time, he has posted one top-five and four top-10 finishes. His career best finish came at the 2010 season opener at Greenville-Pickens Speedway where he finished fifth.<\/p>\n<p>    * Shaw is bringing his Roush Ford to Dover. It&#8217;s the first time this year the team has competed with this car, although DJ did run it at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>    * Last week, Shaw struggled through restarts after his No. 60 Precision JLM Chevrolet got stuck in fourth gear. He was able to rally in the closing laps for a 15th place finish, but it was a disappointment after a perfect pit strategy had him running just outside the top-five.<\/p>\n<p>DJ on his goals for Dover<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal remains the same as it has the last few races &#8211; to finish where we run &#8211; and hopefully that&#8217;s a win. The biggest pressure I feel is to get the best point finish I can. The points are so tight that we could finish fifth or we could finish 13th, and I want to finish fifth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>DJ on his 2010 season<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You create your own luck, but when you blow transmissions or blow tires, then that&#8217;s not really creating anything. We started off really strong, and we&#8217;ve been running just as good at every race, but our finishes aren&#8217;t reflecting that.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dover Int&#8217;l Speedway NASCAR K&#038;N Pro Series East DJ Shaw &#8211; #60 Precision JLM Ford * Shaw enters the season finale ninth in the NASCAR K&#038;N Pro Series East point standings.
