Vallee-Jonction, Quebec – DJ Shaw and the #60 Precision JLM returned to Autodrome Chaudiere for their fourth race at the track this season as part of the third and final leg of the Autobus La Quebecoise Triple Crown Series and Pro All Stars Series North event. In their last race at the track, Shaw finished second on the track, but after technical inspection he was declared the winner and went into the final race with a show at the Triple Crown Championship.
After being rained out Saturday night, the Thunder Valley National 200 took place on Sunday afternoon in front of another great crowd at the popular Canada track. Starting from the pole position in his heat race, Shaw blazed to the win ahead of point’s competitor Johnny Clark, giving him the 11th place starting spot during the 200 lap feature event.
Shaw worked his way through the field early on and found himself well inside of the top ten. Many cautions plagued the first 100 laps, but Shaw was able to make his way into seventh before the 100 lap break, giving the team 15 minutes to make adjustments.

North Woodstock, NH – DJ Shaw and the #60 Precision JLM team traveled to northern New Hampshire for an eventful day at White Mountain Motorsports Park this past weekend. Two 150 lap races were on tap for the Pro All Stars Series North after rain postponed the last event after the completion of the heat races. Shaw had a great day at his home track, fighting hard and coming home with a fifth place finish in the first race and a runner up finish in the second event.
“We had a pretty solid day and gained a lot of points on second and third,” Shaw said after the races, “With Joey (Doiron) winning both races we didn’t gain any on him, but it was great to see a Dale Shaw car in Victory Lane in both races and David Oliver had a strong run too so it’s still a good day for the company.”

North Woodstock, NH – Joey Doiron and the 73 Wild Willy’s Burgers/JBJ Machine team went to northern New Hampshire this past weekend for a double header at White Mountain Motorsports Park. After the feature event was rained out the last time the PASS North Series made their trip to the track, it would be two 150 lap events in one day. Doiron was able to do the unthinkable, and dominate both races to the win.
“We’ve been knocking on the door every week and lead a lot of laps but to finally get back into Victory Lane is huge for us,” Doiron said after the wins, “We tried something different today with our setup and it worked out, this team is great and we scored max points today, can’t ask for much more.”

NAPLES, ME (September 4) – The eyes of the short track racing world will be on Quebec’s Autodrome Chaudiere as the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Super Late Models travel there this weekend for the final leg of the Autobus La Quebecoise Triple Crown. The Thunder Valley 200 will feature North America’s top short trackers competing for $10,000 to win, with an additional $20,000 in guaranteed lap leader money. But in addition to the winner’s large payday, there will be three separate points battles going on at the same time that will also peak fan’s interest.
First, PASS North points leader Joey Doiron looks to build on his slight advantage in the standings over Cassius Clark and Travis Benjamin. Doiron just completed a dream weekend in New Hampshire that saw him sweep the White Mountain Twin 150’s and will be looking to make it three PASS North wins in-a-row at Autodrome Chaudiere. Second, this is the final leg of the Autobus La Quebecoise Triple Crown, a separate championship comprised of the races at Chaudiere with a bonus point fund totaling over $30,000. After struggling through a dismal 2013 season, 6-time PASS North Champion Johnny Clark comes to this weekend’s Thunder Valley 200 seeking his first win of the season and clinging to a slim lead with only 20 points separating the top eight drivers. And finally, Saturday night’s race will be the fourth of five races that comprise the PASS National Series. PASS South Super Late Model points leader Jay Fogleman leads a strong contingent of drivers from the Southeast, including his son Tate, all of whom will be competing at Autdrome Chaudiere for the first time.

Ross Kenseth led the most laps, but had to fend off a furious late race challenge from rookie Jared Irvan to win the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model SoBo 100 Saturday night at South Boston Speedway. With his win, Kenseth completed a sweep of both PASS South events held at South Boston Speedway this year.
“It’s always fun coming back here, heck of a job by Jared Irvan, he raced us really clean and it was fun racing him for the win,” said Kenseth after his 4th career PASS South Super Late Model win. “I felt like we were really good, but if we got pinched down to the bottom it would take us about two or three laps to get going. Real proud of the guys, we brought the same thing back here as last time and it work really good again.”
