NASCAR Whelen All-American Series: Dan McKeage
Beech Ridge Motor Speedway Race Report
SCARBOROUGH, Maine – Dan McKeage of Gorham, Maine, finished 10th in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Pro Series 40 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, on Saturday, August 17. McKeage started 12th in the field of 18 when the field was set by handicap in the absence of a qualifying race, and he fought heavy traffic for track position in the first half of the event. Past the halfway point of the feature, the car’s handling tightened up dramatically to halt McKeage’s forward progress. With two races remaining, McKeage sits just 14 points out of the division lead in pursuit of his second career Pro Series championship.

McKeage Leads NASCAR Standings For Stretch Run
SCARBOROUGH, Maine – Even though it seems everybody wants to remind him about the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series point standings – including his own children – Dan McKeage insists he’s no paying much attention to them.
With just five races remaining this season, McKeage leads the Beech Ridge Motor Speedway Pro Series division by 13 points. It is the largest advantage owned by any leader in any of the track’s four weekly divisions.
“It wasn’t as good as it’s been, actually,” said McKeage, the 2010 track champion who finished seventh in a 40-lap event last weekend to extend his division lead. “Last week, when we stoved the whole front end of the car up, we never really moved the weights around again after we fixed it. We figured we couldn’t hurt it by adding the weight this week, but it didn’t handle as good. In the heat race, it was really good, but when we went for the feature it wasn’t as good as it had been the week before. I felt like we left a couple positions on the table.”
