Saturday April 26th - The Season opener was an ACT (American Canadian Tour) 150 Race where drivers from around New England & Canada came to
compete in a fiercely competitive field where only 33 drivers out of 51 would qualify to race. Martin qualified nicely in his heat race which earned
him a starting position of outside pole for the feature race. Martin ran in the 2nd spot for the 1st 100 laps of the race. Around lap 100 the
cars handling became tight and Shawn lost a few positions. Shawn was credited with a 6th place finish. Overall it was a good day for Team 94
Racing.
Saturday May 3rd - Rained Out
Saturday May 10th - May 10th was the first weekly racing point's race for the Oxford LMS cars. Starting position for the heat race was determined by each driver pulling a number out of a hat. Shawn got lucky and drew the pole position. During the heat race Martin and 2007 title winner Travis Adams began an all out duel for the top spot. The two battled side by side for most of the race and Martin ended up with the heat race win.
Martin started on the pole for the feature race. Unfortunately Shawn's car needed a few laps for the handling to come in. On lap 2 the caution came out while 2nd place starter, Ricky Rolfe, had a 2 foot lead on 94 car. This placed Shawn in the 2nd position on the restart. Shawn battled side by side with Ricky for a few laps but decided to save his tires and drop back to 3rd. From that point on the top 3 cars pulled away from the entire field while they set a blistering pace. The caution came out once again on lap 24. The team figured this would be a great opportunity to gain a position. On the restart, the leader spun his tires while trying to get up to speed. Shawn had to jab the brakes to avoid spinning him spoiling his shot at an easy pass for 2nd. The 94 car ended up in third place when the checkered flag fell. Martin and crew were pleased with the overall performance of the car and very satisfied with a 3rd place finish!
