D.J. Shaw Hopes to Carry Family’s Successful Name to TD Bank 250 Title
Dale Shaw Race Cars Looking for Fourth-Straight Oxford 250 Win
DJ Shaw has spent the 2012 season running PASS Super Late Models in the Northeast and chasing the overall season championship. Last week he recorded his best finish of the season, a second-place run at Thompson International Speedway in Connecticut. Shaw hopes the team’s momentum after that finish can catapult him to success this weekend in the TD Bank 250 at Maine’s Oxford Plains Speedway.
“It was a good finish last week at Thompson and we needed a good run,” said Shaw. “I would like to have won the race, but every driver says that after a race. We got a chance to boost the team morale and we’ll use that heading into Oxford this weekend. Hopefully we can string together some success like we did at the end of 2011.”
