When the NASCAR Camping World Series East first ran at New Hampshire Motor
Speedway with the Peak Antifreeze 125 on Sept. 2, 1990, Randy LaJoie
finished 11th and Dale Shaw 21st.

When the series takes the green flag for Friday's Heluva Good! Fall 125, the

Shaw (No. 60 Precision JLM Inc. Ford). Both teenagers will be making their
second start.
