Mike Paul
#48 Mini Stock

“Fun” is what racing in the Mini Stock Division at Monadnock Speedway, is all about for Mike Paul of Brattleboro VT. Finishing 14th in points for the 2007 season, mid-field in the roster of forty-four, was good. A 3rd place finish and several top tens increases the fun. The Shepard family was instrumental in encouraging Paul’s interest in racing. His intention is to stay with Mini Stocks, for now anyway.

Brandon Warren
#94 Mini Stock

The blue and white #94 Mini Stock frequenting victory lane at New Hampshire’s Monadnock Speedway is manned by young Brandon Warren from Chicopee MA.
Just seventeen years old for the 2007 race season, Brandon checkered flagged to some wins and top five finishes. His love of the sport is reflected in his driving talent and focuses on a good finish every race. Brandon finished 8th in points for the 2006 season and climbed to 3rd in 2007. Crediting his Dad with much of his own success, Brandon says, “My Dad is my hero. He taught me every thing he knows about racing.” Young Brandon Warren is truly a driver to be reckoned with.

Dylan Smith
#34 Allison Legacy

Dylan Smith, from Randolph VT, raced his 2007 rookie season on the Allison Legacy North Division. This is a traveling division going between 3 states for 17 scheduled races each season. A Champion Kart racer and occasional Enduro enthusiast, Dylan does not lack experience behind the wheel of a racecar. His first try in an Allison Legacy car, Dylan hit the wall. He picked himself up and went back and back again, to finish the 2007 season tenth in points. Just fifteen, Dylan has eleven racing seasons under his belt. His idol is #20 Cup driver, Tony Stewart “because he races hard,” says Dylan. The man behind the driver in this case is Dad (Ken Smith) not Zippy.

Bryan Shumway
#M5 TrueValue Modified

Perhaps the best looking True Value Modified in the traveling series, Bryan Shumway maneuvers “the looker” in True Value fashion. Yet in his youth (a mere 22) Shumway has experience beyond his years. His racing career has progressed from Karts at age nine through Mini Stocks, Strictly Stock, the Late Model Division and Pro Stocks to his current spot in TV Mods. Awards range from “Rookie of the Year” in two different divisions to “Best Appearing Car” 5 years running. He is not just a pretty face (or pretty car) Shumway frequently wins and or places in the top ten. Fairly new to the TV Mods, Shumway has experienced some injuries, which dampened his ability to race but with a new season upon us Shumway is a driver to watch.

Shawn Torrey
#33 NEMA Midget

Shawn Torrey’s driving career did not begin with driving at all. He was in the car, to test it, under the car to adjust it, pushing the car to start the race of getting it back to the hauler or whatever it took to keep the team going. Torrey eventually bought his own, the NEMA #33. His goal each race is to have fun and finish the race. Torrey is the recipient of the Johnny Thompson Award presented by the NEMA Touring Division.

Greg Stoehr
#26b NEMA Midget

Twenty-two years of experience is what the very talented Greg Stoehr from Bridgewater MA, brings to the NEMA touring division. His experience is varied. He has wins in Karts, Late Models, Sportsman and Midgets from Florida to Maine. Born into a raisingang family, Greg is a 3rd generation driver. His hero is his brother, Russ Stoehr, says Greg “The best driver I’ve seen.” His most memorable race was a 1994 Thompson when he started last winning the race on a pass in the last lap. His race strategy is “stay calm.”

Greg's big move in 2007 was to a newly developed Mazda engine from Circle Performance - a motor that produces big power for a reasonable price.
