Oxford, ME – DJ Shaw and the #60 Precision JLM Racing team returned to the Oxford Plains Speedway this past weekend for the 40th annual TD Bank 250, the biggest race in short track racing. 66 of the country’s best Super Late Model drivers battled for 41 spots in the heat races. Shaw had a great run going, as he contended in the top five for much of the race until a skirmish late in the race left Shaw with damage, and holding on for a 17th place finish at the end of the day.
Throughout the two days of practice, Shaw felt confident in his chances to turn out a good finish in the TD Bank 250. Shaw had run the race in ACT style competition in previous years, but this year was the return of the Super Late Models. He would start from the ninth position in the fifth 25 lap heat race, leaving his work cut out for him as only four cars would make the big show while the rest would be relegated to the consolation and last chance races. Shaw wasted no time on his way to the front though, as he used a timely caution flag to his advantage to work his way forward and take the heat win ahead of his teammate Andy Saunders in the 49 car! The heat win gave Shaw a 5th place starting spot for the 250 lap main event.

OXFORD, Maine – Dan McKeage of Gorham, Maine, finished eighth in the rain-shortened PASS Sportsman Series 75 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine, on Friday, July 19.
