The Grimm Construction Chevy/Multiple Sclerosis Chevy qualified twelfth in the 23 car field in 21.051 sec. around the flat half mile oval. Eddie Mac ran seventh fastest in the first practice session and ran 19th on old tires in the second practice saying, “The car ran well in the first practice and we knew we would be okay for the race. We qualified in twelfth and that is about what we expected. The important thing on this track is to save your tires for the end. The drivers that do that the best will be there at the end of the race.”

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.”
