Highlights of the 2002 Season
June, 8th.. Lancaster Motorsports Park. Shane runs second Cup Lites Race at Lancaster.. Grabs another second place finish and also grabs the point lead in the Cup Lites Racing Series. With this success early in the Cup Lites season, Shane is considering running more races, and maybe take a run at the championship.
May 11, Shane's second race of the season and his very first NASCAR Touring race. Practice went very well with some great lap times posted. Shane drew last in the qualifying lineup and driving very conservatively for his first NASCAR show, he posted a qualifying time of only .274 seconds off the pole. Starting 15th, he ran a very steady and cautious race, so that NASCAR could look favorably on him in granting him his truck license for the Memphis and Richmond Races. With his first race having a top-ten finish, Shane had a most successful weekend. The Dash cars were fun for him to drive and he looks forward to his next race, scheduled for June 22, in Memphis. He will be driving the "Cow Car" in the Dash series and pending final NASCAR approval, will also be driving in the Craftsman Truck Race on the same day.
May 4th.. Adirondack Speedway. Shane most likely will not run the entire season of Cup Lites, but wanted to race at this new race track. Instead of racing his own car, he rented a ride in a Bender rental car and easily came in second after leading early in the race. If only he had put on new tires!
