Oxford, ME – DJ Shaw and the #60 Precision JLM went into the final race of the Pro All Stars Series North season with one goal, win. After early struggles throughout the day, they did just that, taking the lead with 24 laps to go and holding off a charge from Scott Mulkern to grab his third win of the PASS North season, the most of any driver in the Series.
The day started out rough as Shaw as he only finished sixth in his heat race, not enough to transfer into the Feature race while 48 other cars battled for the 36 starting spots. He would start on the pole in the consolation race, and drive away with the win. This gave Shaw a 22nd place starting position for the 150 lap event. The team felt like they had hit on something though, as they made several adjustments to the car throughout the morning to get it right.

North Conway, NH – Riding on a streak of five straight top five finishes, DJ Shaw and the Precision JLM team have fought and clawed their way back into the championship race with just one race remaining in the Pro All Stars Series North season. Shaw sits just seven markers behind Cassius Clark in the title fight. With the position they are in going into this weekend’s race at Oxford Plains Speedway, he knows going for the win is their only option.
“We’ve got nothing to lose, it’s going to take a lot for us to fall from third in the points so we are going there to win,” Shaw said about this weekend, “If we can do that, then everything else will take care of itself, it’s taken a lot of hard work just to get to this point.”

Berwick, ME – Going into the final race of his best season since joining the Pro All Stars Series North in 2010, Joey Doiron is feeling confident racing for his first championship. In a season that started out with Doiron battling Cassius Clark for the win at Oxford Plains Speedway, it would seem fitting that those two are the front runners leading into the final race of the season at the same track.
With his two wins, eight top fives and a series leading ten top ten finishes, Doiron has certainly had a season to remember. He has lead the point’s standings since the seasons second race until being surpassed by Clark by just three points in the last race at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. With two runner up finishes in the season opening race at Oxford Plains and in the TD Bank 250, Doiron is confident his team can perform well enough to grab the championship this weekend.
