The Canton, Ohio based Tezos All Star Circuit Of Champions team of Grove Racing announced this morning that they have parted ways with driver Tim Shaffer. A four-time All Star Champ, Shaffer had won at Atomic Speedway in June and had the team sitting fifth in owner points at the summer break.

Chillicothe, Ohio -- For the first time since September 4, 2020, “The Steel City Outlaw” Tim Shaffer is a Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 feature winner, snapping his draught in round six of Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by Cometic Gasket at Atomic Speedway in Chillicothe, Ohio. The win, commemorating the life and achievements of legendary sprint car crew chief, George Fisher, secured Shaffer a $6,000 payday, bumping his career All Star win total to 68, two of which occurring on the highbanks of Atomic Speedway.
