John Kalel II of Orrington won the Dysart’s Late Model feature postponed from last week by about a foot over defending champion Andy Saunders of Ellsworth.

After finally passing Seekins, Saunders steadily gained ground on Kalel, catching him as the two to go sign was shown by the flagman, Saunders was beside Kalel when the white flag flew, but Kalel hung on to his lead and beat Saunders to the checkers by a nose.

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.”
