Shaw charges to Lee USA PASS Mod Win

Shaw charges to Lee USA PASS Mod Win

NAPLES ME (June 6) Andy Shaw drove from the back of the pack to the
front to capture his second Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Mod series win
of 2009 Friday night at Lee (NH) USA Speedway. Shaw battled visiting
North Carolina super late model star Jay Fogleman and Sulo Burbank for
the win in the first of a four race Twin State Series for the open
wheelers.

Shaw and his team were fortunate to be in the feature at all. The rear
end in their race car blew up in practice but they were able to borrow
another from a fellow competitor, swap them out, and run second in
their qualifying race. But the work wasn't over then; the team had
holed a radiator in the heat and had to make another hasty swap before
feature time. Shaw, Dave Weir and the entire 66 team proved that once
again, hard work and perseverance pay off at the race track.

Sulo Burbank had luck on his side as well. After his best PASS Mod
finish of the season in third, the team discovered a broken hub held
in place only by the wheel after giving the Lee USA concrete a tap
midway through the feature.

Unofficially, Shaw vaults from third to first in the PASS Mod points
standings after four races. Jerry Harrison held the top spot going
into the race but a hard trip into the turn one wall resulted in a
12th place finish and second place points man Scott Grant came home
seventh. The top three were only separated by three points prior to
the Lee USA event.
