Ben Lynch is all set for the 2013 American Canadian Tour (ACT) race season opener at Lee Speedway. “The car has been done for a while. We had a great end to last year so there wasn’t much to do this off season. We just worked on the little things we had problems with last year. I’m excited for Lee. I think we should have a great car, and its hopefully going to kick start another great year. It’s one of the closest tracks to us so we end up with a lot of fans there, so I really wanna do well for all of them.”
Though Ben has kept busy in the over the winter monthes, “This off season has been just school and work. I’m still at UNC Charlotte studying Mechanical Engineering. That takes up most of my time. But when I’m not doing school work, I work at the Richard Petty Driving Experience. I give fans rides around race tracks like Charlotte Motor Speedway. It’s a great job and it keeps me behind the wheel of the of race cars all off season.”

NAPLES ME (9/20) The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North Super Late Models head to the quick quarter mile at White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock New Hampshire Saturday evening and the topsy turvy battle for the 2012 championship continues to intensify.
DJ Shaw may come to remember this past Sunday’s PASS 300 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway as the race that took him out of the 2012 title hunt. Shaw went into the day trailing point leader Cassius Clark by nine markers and he looked like a contender Sunday until he was swept up in a mid race wreck, eventually finishing 20th. That result drop kicked Shaw from second in points to third, 45 points back. Shaw and his team never give up, but they will need a heaping helping of luck to get back in the title chase.

NORTH WOODSTOCK NH (8/12) Center Conway New Hampshire’s DJ Shaw charged from deep in the field to take the lead on lap 53 of Sunday afternoon’s Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North super late model feature,earning his second win of 2012 at North Woodstock New Hampshire’s White Mountain Motorsports Park. Shaw kept Lonnie Sommerville and Cassius Clark in his mirrors for the final seventy laps in a rain shortened 123 lap feature.
Kyle DeSouza and Lonnie Sommerville led the field to the green and Sommerville quickly dispatched with DeSouza for the early lead. Sommerville’s team mate and car owner Scott Mulkern raced past DeSouza on a lap 27 restart and took the lead from Sommerville when the pair restarted after a lap 34 yellow. 15 laps later Sommerville reclaimed the lead but Shaw was ready to take up the challenge, moving up to second on lap 49. Shaw, who has a White Mountain late model track title to his credit, drove by Sommerville on lap 53 and opened up a commanding lead despite two more restart challenges from Sommerville.
