Valee-Junction, Quebec – DJ Shaw and the #60 Precision JLM Racing team returned to Quebec, Canada this past weekend for the second race of the season at the Autodrome Chaudiere, the “Habitations Dany Lagace 150,” the seventh Pro All Stars Series North event of the season. Shaw rode in the top five all night with a competitive car, and finished in the fourth position when the checkered flag flew. Nascar Sprint Cup Series star Denny Hamlin, driving a car prepared by the Shaw’s at their shop, Dale Shaw Racecars, finished in the seventh position. Overall, Shaw was pleased with his team’s performance.
“We had a really good car, just not quite enough to contend for the win tonight,” Shaw said after the race, “Working with Denny Hamlin was great as well, he’s a pretty down to Earth guy and seemed happy with the car we provided him, our crew is great and they worked hard again this week, I can’t thank them enough.” (more…)

Hermon, ME – After enjoying a few weeks to celebrate their win at Thunder Road Speedbowl, the #73 JBJ Machine team with Joey Doiron behind the wheel returned to action this past weekend. Race number six of the Pro All Stars Series North brought the team to Speedway 95 just outside of Bangor, Maine for the “Hight Chevrolet 150.” Doiron was looking to keep up the momentum in this race, but engine issues late in the race slowed his pace, but Doiron still managed to grab a eighth place finish.
“We had a top five car at least at the end there, but something went wrong with the motor and I lost the power steering too,” Doiron said after the race, “We had to pit and I made up as much ground as I could, and I’m glad we still salvaged a top ten out of today.”

Cassius Clark Hopes Speedway 95 Provides Spark To Turn Around Season
NAPLES, ME (June 10) – As the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) AIM Recycling Super Late Models Pres. By Kenny U-Pull prepare for race number six of the 2015 season, Cassius Clark is still seeking his first top five finish of the year.

This Sunday afternoon, Clark and his fellow PASS competitors will head to Bangor, ME’s Speedway 95 for the Hight Chevrolet/Buick/GMC 150. Clark comes to Speedway 95 as the defending race winner at the event named for his longtime sponsor, but seeking redemption at the same time.

PASS South Set For Season Debut At South Boston This Weekend
CHARLOTTE, NC (June 3) – The Pro All Stars Series South (PASS) Super Late Models return to action this weekend for their first of two trips in 2015 to South Boston Speedway in Virginia. The South’s longest running Super Late Model division will race for 150 green flag laps and will headline an exciting night of racing which will include Twin 75s for the NASCAR Late Model Stocks and feature racing for the USAC Eastern Midgets and Legends cars.
Legends racing graduate Trey Jarrell is in his second season of racing PASS South Super Late Models and has shown steady improvement since first stepping into the heavier, more powerful machines. Hailing from nearby Martinsville, VA, Jarrell says there is added excitement any time he gets to race at South Boston Speedway.
“South Boston is my favorite racetrack and it really seems to suit my driving style well,” says Jarrell, driver of the Roger Jarrell/Reedy Racing Ford #12. “Aside from 2012 when I ran a Late Model Stock at Motor Mile Speedway, my racing events have primarily taken place in the Carolinas, so I have few chances to race on my home turf. It’s nice to race at a great facility like South Boston when we get the chance to be close to home. It’s also never bad to see a few extra Trey Jarrell fans in the grandstands now and again.”
