DJ Shaw Takes Win in Return to Chaudiere

On By

chaudiere_win61513Vallee-Jonction, Quebec – DJ Shaw made the most of an off weekend from PASS competition, taking the win at Autodrome Chaudiere in a 150 lap open competition race. Using this race as a test session of sorts for the final two races of the Pro All Stars Series North Autobus Quebecois Triple Crown Series, the team was confident they had made the right changes to the setup since their last trip to Chaudiere.

The day started off with rain showers breaking up the practice sessions, but anytime the #60 Precision JLM Toyota Camry went on the track, it was flawless. Starting on the pole in his heat race, Shaw drove away from the field and made it look easy to take the win, giving him the outside of the front row for the feature event.

ANDY SAUNDERS TAKES SPEEDWAY 95 LATE MODEL WIN

On By

Speedway 95For the first 32 laps of the 40 lap Dysart’s Late Model feature at Speedway 95 Saturday night, rookie Andrew McLaughlin of Harrington and John Kalel II of Orrington waged a side by side battle for the lead, with McLaughlin leading the majority of the laps by less than half a car length. Defending champion Andy Saunders of Ellsworth sat behind the battling duo in third spot, just waiting for his chance at the lead. Just as Saunders nosed ahead of Kalel to claim the second spot, the red flag flew when Ryan Dean of Winterport had his car catch fire and head for the infield. On the restart, the veteran Saunders started beside McLaughlin and took the rookie to school. Saunders ran the inside groove and wrestled the lead from McLaughlin on lap 33 and led the final 7 laps for the win. McLaughlin continued his impressive run and took the runner up spot with Deane Smart of Milford surging to a third place finish. Fourth went to Bangor’s Donny Blanchard with Kalel finishing in fifth. Twenty Late Models started the feature with only the one red flag stopping the action after an early caution before the completion of lap one caused a restart with all cars returned to their original starting positions.
