Race Weekend #4: Carquest 100 at Speedway 660

On Saturday, June 21, the Maritime Pro Stock Tour made their first of two visits to the newly named "Speedway 660". Although New Brunswick International Speedway may have a new name - it's still Shawn's favorite track to race. Shawn had a lucky day on Saturday with a great crew behind him, a fast car, and no trouble. Shawn was fastest in the first practice of the day and then 2nd fastest during time trials with a time of 13.543 seconds. He then drew the pole position for the Dash - won it and started the Carquest 100 main feature on the pole. An amazing race ensued with Shawn and the #44 Wayne Smith jockeying back and forth for the lead. In the end a final caution seen Shawn restart on the grippy outside groove and take the lead one last time for the win!

Race Weekend #3: Ron MacGillivray Chev 100 at Riverside Speedway

The #0 Team was more than happy to get back to the beautiful Riverside Speedway on June 7 for the 2nd of 11 Maritime Pro Stock Tour races in 2008. The Dexter Construction Impala SS was fast all day and time trialed 9th on the grid to just make the Dash for the Pole. Shawn was able to gain two positions in the Dash and start 7th for the main feature. Shawn was edging his way towards the front when a caution came out and race control seen Shawn as the perpetrator - sending him all the way to the back of the 28-car field. Shawn carefully drove the #0 all the way back up to around 6th position when he made a mistake and spun the rookie #18 Darren MacKinnon. Once again Shawn was sent to the back of the pack and had to try to work his way back up through to the front. In the end if there had been another 50 laps to the race Shawn might have gotten a better finish but settled for 16th. Can't wait to revisit Riverside on July 19th for the big IWK250!

Race Weekend #2: Lucas Oil 100 at Scotia Speedworld

It's been two months since the 0-Team's first race of the season and the race result was well worth the wait. On Saturday, May 24, the Maritime Pro Stock Tour's season opener at Scotia Speedworld got underway. After a quick shake-down on Monday, the car and Shawn were ready to race. Shawn posted 2nd quickest time in the first practice & fastest time in the 2nd. Then the rain came & delayed the show for a few hours. So with a late start & a green track time trials got underway. Shawn posted the 11th quickest time of 14.969 seconds and therefore started on the pole of the 2nd heat. Shawn pulled away on the heat stating the car "felt good". Once the Lucas Oil 100 got underway at around 11:00pm, we all knew it was going to be a looonnnggg night. The first race of the season on a track with little grip, made for a race riddled with cautions & one very long red flag stop. However, the racing in the front of the pack was anything but boring & kept the fans on the edge of their cold & damp seats. Shawn worked his way to the front, passing the race leader & pole sitter on the outside on lap 79 & hung onto the lead until it meant something. First win since the big grand re-opening of Riverside Speedway in 2006! What a way to start 2008! Kudos to the fans for sticking around until the end of the race & to Scotia Speedworld on the improvements made over the winter.

Race Weekend #1: Early Start to '08 Season - Dexter Racing visits "The Birthplace of NASCAR Stars"

The Dexter Racing team was so excited for the 2008 race season we decided to start it early, travelling all the way to Hickory, North Carolina, for the PASS South season opener at Hickory Motor Speedway. "The Easter Bunny 150" on March 21 & 22 proved to be a worthwhile trip for the team, as Shawn faired pretty good against some of the top Super Late Model teams in the US of A. Open practice on Friday was a great opportunity to break-in the brand new Impala SS and a chance for Shawn to get use to the track. Dexter racing was on par with the rest of the 44-car field, and ready for race day with a few key changes in mind to try first thing Saturday morning. Saturday's first practice session was a busy one, & with 4 brand new practice tires on the car, the #0 was quick, 3rd quickest actually - until two cars got tangled up in turn 1 directly in front of Shawn. With no where to go Shawn was involved in the crash & with that, missed the rest of practice for the day fixing the car. The entire front right-side was wrecked & needed to be completely replaced. Brake lines, upper & lower control arms, strut rod, spindle, upper control arm mounts, all had to be replaced & the nose, fenders, & duct work fixed. With the help of the #35 & #8 crew, Shawn was able to make it out for time trials - on stickers. Surprisingly, out of 44 cars - Shawn most definitely the only car on brand new tires (not scuffed), he time trialed 14th quickest with a time of 15.058 seconds. The top 20 cars out of time trials were locked into the race so we were definitely happy knowing that after the morning we had we were guaranteed to start the race.

Hickory is a fast track with Super Late Models turning an average speed of 97 miles per hour. So with as many good cars and drivers as there were, it was a tight race. Shawn hovered around 10th-16th position for the first 65 laps until a tangle in turn 2 was unavoidable. Shawn brought the #0 car into the pits where the team removed the damage right front fender & hood. Back out on the lead lap Shawn worked his way slowly up to 10th position & that's where he finished. Considering the competition, as well as the day we had, we couldn't complain! We were just happy to be racing in March!
