9/8/2008 - 26th In Super Nationals Main Event
Shawn didn't have much luck in the main event of the Super Nationals in Boone, Iowa. He was caught up in one of the early wrecks, and only ran a few laps after the incident. He was scored with a 26th place finish, but just making the 33 car field out of 300+ cars is a great accomplishment.
9/5/2008 - Shawn Is In The Main Event!

8/25/2008 - 6th & 7th Place Finishes
On Friday, Shawn battled for 2nd in his heat, but contact was made, and that sent him to the back. He would run the consy, but contact with another car bumped him out of his position again. He did not continue, because he was guaranteed a spot in the feature.
In the feature, Shawn started dead last (25th) and made his way all the way up to a 7th place finish in the 50 lap event. On Saturday, Shawn broke an axle on the 1st lap of his heat, then made his way from 14th in the feature to a 6th place finish.

8/9/2008 - Rough Ending @ Luxemburg
Shawn ran into some engine issues in his heat race, though he was still able to pull of a 3rd place finish and qualify for the feature event. He and the crew switched engines before the start of the feature, and Shawn looked very strong early on.
He ran down on the bottom and then swung to the top of the track, getting up to 5th place. However, he came out of turn 4 a little too low and clipped the infield tire with his left front tire, putting an end to his night.
8/4/2008 - 2nd For the 3rd Time in a Row
Friday night Shawn was working his way toward the top 5, but late in the race faded back into a 10th place finish.

7/27/2008 - Runner Up Once Again @ Thunderhill

On Saturday, he charged through the field on the very tricky and rutty track. Shawn darted to the inside to take 2nd place away, and on the final lap was unable to haul in Billy LeMieux, settling for another 2nd place finish. He is now tied with Jay Matthias for 2nd in points at Thunderhill.
7/13/2008 - 2nd Again @ Thunderhill
Friday night Shawn had a tough challenge to try and chase down the leaders, as the modified feature went green to checker without a caution. He was able to weave his way to an 8th place finish on the night.
On Saturday, Shawn almost slipped past race leader Sean Jerovetz with 2 laps to go, but Jerovetz powered back on the outside and took the win. Shawn settled for his third 2nd place finish @ Thunderhill.
7/9/2008 - 14th @ Thunderhill

6/30/2008 - So Close @ Thunderhill
Friday night Shawn blew away the field in his heat race, but the feature would not be a repeat of the heat. Shawn fell back to a 13th place finish on the night, while points leader Brian Mullen took the win, increasing his lead over Shawn.
Saturday @ Thunderhill, Shawn again took his heat race by a wide margin, and this time had something for leader Benji LaCrosse on the high side. Shawn took the lead for a lap, but Benji got it back on the inside and took the victory. Shawn settled for 2nd for the second week in a row.

6/16/2008 - 2nd @ Thunderhill

Shawn is now tied for 4th in points @ Thunderhill and sits in 2nd place @ Luxemburg.
6/2/2008 - Two More Top 5's
Friday @ Luxemburg, Shawn manuvered his way toward the front. With the feature going green to checker, he didn't have nearly enough time to catch the top 3, and settled into a 4th place finish.
Saturday he shot out to a commanding lead, but a late race caution would erase the lead he built. Julie McDermid took advantage and slid under Shawn to take the win. Todd Dart also went by, so Shawn ended up in 3rd.
5/26/2008 - Two Top 5's on the Weekend
Shawn climbed up into the top 5 following Jeremy Jacobs, and then made a move to pass 3 wide to take 2nd. He didn't have enough laps or momentum to catch Jeremie Hedrick, so he settled for the 2nd spot.
On Saturday he won his heat race, and started 4th in the feature. He tried to take the lead on the outside of Jay Matthias, but Mike Wedelstadt shot through and passed everyone by. Shawn ended where he started in 4th place.
5/18/2008 - Another Rough Weekend
Shawn qualified for the feature on Friday night at Luxemburg through the consy, and then got involved in a wreck in the feature. He got the car back out on the lead lap, but it took him several laps to catch the back of the field. He did end up taking 16th.
Saturday @ Thunderhill wasn't any better, a 2nd place finish in the heat gave him a good starting spot in the feature, but contact with several cars shifted him toward the back early, from which he wouldn't recover.
5/11/2008 - Rough Night @ The Hill
Shawn was one of many to pull his car off the track on Saturday night. A rough spot in turn #2 caused a lot of problems for all the drivers on the track, and many didn't want to risk damaging their equipment.
5/10/2008 - 7th Again @ The Burg
Shawn qualified for the A-main this Friday through his heat race. The feature was a disaster, with the modifieds only going 12 out of a scheduled 22 laps due to a great deal of cautions.
Shawn stayed out of harm's way, and ran the top side safely around towards the end. The final restart he was in 7th place, and that's where he ended the night.
4/19/2008 - Opening Night @ The Burg
Shawn had to take the hard road into the feature event on opening night, he had to qualify through the consy, which he won. Starting near the back in the feature, he made his way to the front after an early race wreck nearly collected him.
Shawn got the car up near the top 5, with heavy smoke barreling out of the car. He finished just outside of the top 5 with a solid finish for the 1st night in the new chassis.
