D.J. Shaw graduates to PASS North victory lane

Naples ME ( June 23,2008) A lap 39 caution gave Pro All Stars Series
(PASS) super late model rookie D.J. Shaw the lead in Sunday's Steel's
Real Rods and Custom 125 at Wiscasset Raceway and Shaw never looked
back, earning his first PASS North feature win over Cassius Clark, Ben
Rowe, Adam Bates and Travis Benjamin.

Shaw started fifth in the thirty-one car field and quickly worked his
way up to third. Meanwhile, pole sitter Kelly Moore was out in front
with Wiscasset master Scott Chubbuck in hot pursuit. Moore appeared to
spin his tires on a restart, giving Chubbuck the opening he needed to
take the lead. But one lap later Moore got into Chubbuck's' back
bumper and the leader went for a spin in turn four. Both drivers went
to the rear of the field and Shaw found himself in the lead.

18 year old Shaw, who'd graduated from high school the day before,
took full advantage of his opportunity. His Precision JLM Ford was on
a rail and the rookie kept the field in his rear view mirror. Shaw
held a ten car length lead over Clark and Rowe before rain brought out
the red flag and halted the race on lap 98. One hour later the feature
was declared complete and the Center Conway New Hampshire teen had his
first PASS feature win. He's now a guaranteed starter for the August
17 Toyota Tundra 250 at Wiscasset, joining Johnny Clark and Corey
Williams on that list. The $30,000.00 to win tilt is the richest event
on the 2008 PASS North super late model schedule.

Several drivers that had a shot at strong runs experienced problems
that spoiled their day. Trevor Sanborn was back in the Moody Racing
44 and had a solid top five run going until a mechanical issue sent
him to the pits just four laps before the rains came. Johnny Clark
appeared to have a tire go down on lap 89 while running fourth and
lost a lap in the subsequent spin. Clark finished the night 16th, one
lap down. Mike Rowe received a penalty for jumping positions in a
restart line-up; unofficially the penalty moved Rowe from 9th to 31st
at the finish. The day was even tougher for Derek Ramstom who lost a
motor in his qualifying race and was unable to start the feature.

Moore, Chubbuck and Bates were heat race winners; Travis Benjamin
qualified via a consi win and raced his way into the top five after
starting 25th.

PASS North is back on track next Saturday for a 200 lapper at All-Star
Speedway in Epping NH. Sundays Sonoma Sprint Cup winner Kyle Busch and
Dale Earnhardt Incorporated Sprint Cup driver Regan Smith will be
amongst the drivers challenging the PASS North super late model
regulars at All-Star. Racing gets underway at 6:00 PM.
