October 8th Report

With Super DIRT Week XXXVI having just wrapped up, so has the season for the Daniels & Mayfield Motorsports owned #87. With both our TEO and Bicknell cars and engines for sale we are finishing up the season lending a hand to Shawn in the last couple of shows. Shawn will be piloting the Amanda Whitney #21 TEO for this coming weekends Black Rock Speedway event and plans for next weeks Orange County Fair Speedway; Eastern States 200 Weekend are not yet clear.

After a very eventful 2007, the Daniels and Mayfield Motorsports would like to thank all of our crew help for a positive season as well as our loyal sponsors. Without all of the support, none of it could have been accomplished. Furthermore, big news from the Daniels & Mayfield Motorsports camp is that while all equipment is for sale, it is simply to liquidate for new merchandise. That's right, the Daniels & Mayfield Motorsports team has purchased a new car for 2008, and we are proud to announce that a brand new Troyer Max-Flex will compliment our assault next season. At this point the overall plans for next season are yet to be completely decided, but if all goes as planned a brand new Ford powered Big-Block will set between the rails of the new car. Currently, the team is looking for additional financial backing, so they can make 2008 a success. If you may be interested in teaming up with one of the quickest growing teams along the DIRTcar circuit you can contact team co-owner, Brian Mayfield.

The team would also like to send out a special thanks to Troyer, Inc. owner Billy Colton. Even though Shawn was in a Bicknell during Super DIRT Week, Billy Colton was very instrumental in setting the car up for the "Moody Mile" and the team is very grateful. Thanks!

Weekend of May 19th-20th Report

by Daniels/Mayfield Motorsports

Finally Shawn and the Daniels - Maryfield team got rid of the small mechanical gremlins that effected the team at the start of the season. The team picked up wins at Fulton and Cayuga County Fair Speedway.

Saturday at Fulton Shawn took advantage of lapped traffic getting by Alan Fink to grab the win. Shawn related that he doesn’t think he could of gotten by Alan if it wasn’t for the lapped traffic. "It's great to get this first win out of the way," saidShawn. In 2006 the track champion didn't get his first win till late in the season. Donath ended up saying, "This kind of proves people wrong who were predicting our demise this season."Said Shawn.

There was a classic side-by-side battle between rookie Steven Planck and Shawn. The rookie showed the poise and skill of a veteran. When the checkers flew it was Shawn followed by Planck. In victory lane Shawn showed class. Instead of talking about himself he had nothing but praise for Planck. "That kid is talented and tough. It's been a long time since I've run that clean with another driver." He also said he thought he had him when he went by him the first time, but Planck fought back and went by him again
before Shawn finally got by for the win.This Memorial day weekend will find Shawn once again at Fulton and Cayuga County Fair Speedway. On Monday Shawn and the team will be at Rolling Wheels , the Sportsman are part of the nights racing with the World of Outlaws Sprint cars.

Weekend of April 28th-29th Report

Mother nature once again was two for three on the racing weekend, as only Cayuga County Fair Speedway was able to get their racing in.
Shawn was able to use his favorite high line to battle in the top-10 all day and come home with a 7th place finish. "We’re having a tough time hitting on the right set-up’s," related Shawn. A lot of it can be attributed to all the early season rain outs and lack of track time to hit on the right car combination.
This weekend look for Shawn to start his defense of his track championship at Fulton speedway. Gates open at 5pm with race time at 7pm.

Coming into the 2007 season Shawn has two goals in mind. The first is to rack up wins and track titles. The most important to Shawn and the Daniels and Mayfield team is to win the Mr. DIRTcar Sportsman title.

Shawn started out the 2007 season at Can-Am Speedway last Saturday night with the $1,000 to win feature. Shawn started in the top-ten and came home with a third place finish, behind winner Chris Higgins and Jack Meeks.

On Sunday the team headed south to the Cayuga County Fair Speedway in Weedsport NY for their opener. Racing on a typical, daytime black and slick track, Shawn held his own and came home with another third place finish.

"We out guessed ourselves and could of tightened the car up more. Will take the third place and move on," related Donath.

This weekend look for Shawn and the Daniels - Mayfield team to be back at Can-Am and Cayuga County Fair Speedway.
