Center Conway, NH – DJ Shaw and the #60 Precision JLM team will be racing in the Sunshine State of Florida this weekend in one of the biggest Super Late Model races in the country, the Snowball Derby. The Snowball Derby is a 300-lap race held annually at the half-mile Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida. The race has been contested every year since 1968 and is always run on the first weekend in December. Some of the best short track drivers travel to this event each year, with 65 entries filed for this year’s event. Past winners include Darrell Waltrip, Kyle Busch and last year’s winner Erik Jones. Shaw will be running in both the Snowball Derby on Sunday and the Pro Late Model Snowflake 100 lap event on Saturday night.
“It’s huge for us, it’s possibly a one-time thing and we want to make sure we are prepared the best we know and hope for the best,” Shaw said earlier this week in an interview on Mainely Motorsports, “We’ve talked to a few guys from up here like Johnny Clark so we kind of know what to expect with tech inspection and the race.”

Kenley, NC – In one of the most anticipated short track races of the year, Joey Doiron and the 73 Wild Willy’s Burgers/JBJ Machine team made the trip south to Kenley, North Carolina for the 8th annual Mason Dixon Meltdown at Southern National Motorsports Park. It was the final event in the Pro All Stars Series National, which Doiron went into the event trailing Jay Fogelman by 40 points in third place. In their first trip to the high banked 4/10th mile racetrack, they struggled in qualifying but came away with a top five finish after being forced to fight hard throughout the entire 200 lap feature.
The lineup was set by time trials, which differs from the heat races that the PASS North Series uses to set their lineups. Fighting a tight car, Doiron was only able to set the 22nd fastest lap of the 28 cars. (more…)

CHARLOTTE, NC (November 18) – As this weekend’s 8th Annual Mason Dixon Meltdown approaches for the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Models, several teams are already ready to make their way south to North Carolina’s Southern National Motorsports Park. Since the event’s inception in 2006, some of the best PASS North Super Late Model teams from New England have made the trip south to escape the increasingly cold weather in the north and get one more big race in before the season ends. And the northern contingent has fared quite well traditionally, especially in the early years of the Meltdown. In the first four editions, PASS North drivers took the checkered flag led by Ben Rowe, who won at Concord Speedway in 2007 and South Boston Speedway in 2009, while fellow New Englanders Cassius Clark and Johnny Clark took the checkered flag in the other two.
While the south has prevailed in the last three runnings of the Mason Dixon Meltdown, many believe this year’s race at Southern National could see the big money heading back north on I-95. Rowe leads a strong group of fellow New Englanders to this year’s Meltdown which includes Joey Doiron, Kyle Desouza, Derek Ramstrom, Joey Polewarczyk, and Steve Legendre. The All-Time PASS Super Late Model wins leader is quite familiar racing in the south with 8 PASS South wins to his credit and the 2009 PASS South Super Late Model championship. Rowe recently ended a long dry spell with his win in the North-South Shootout at Caraway Speedway and is looking forward to heading back to Southern National Motorsports Park where he took one of his five wins during his championship season.
