One of Canada's best known stock car racers, who competed in race car events in both the U.S. and Canada, who was beginning to make his mark on the ASA circuit, one of the NASCAR feeder series, winning four championships and numerous feature races, was killed in a snowmobiling accident on March 20, 2004 in Wentworth Hill, Nova Scotia at the age of 33.
Scott Fraser, the best race car driver to ever come out of the Maritimes, died in a snowmobile accident on March 20th, 2004. The news hit many fans and race teams hard. Our heroes are often considered invincible and to find out that they are not, is hard to swallow. Shortly after Scott's death, his race team and family approached Shawn with an offer - they wanted Shawn to carry on Scott's legacy by driving Scott's car in the Atlantic Cat 250 PASS race at Scotia Speedworld and maybe a few other races if feasible. With no hesitation Shawn accepted and prepared for his busiest race season yet. He would be preparing and maintaining his own #72 Sportsman car and the SFR (Scott Fraser Racing) pro stock car.

Shawn wins His First Pro Stock Race
Shawn Turple has finally won his first Pro Stock Tour race with the #0 Atlantic Cat Monte Carlo. What a race to win too - the re-opening race at Antigonish's new and improved Riverside Speedway. John Chisolm first built the track nearly 40 years ago and just repurchased it last year to bring it out of disrepair. Everything was improved upon. The stands, the track, the tower, even the campground. The Antigonish Mall 200 proved the track is much faster than before and definitely one of every driver's favorites. Now that Shawn has the monkey off his back, the team feels as though they can relax and continue to race for the win.
Look for Shawn at the huge Irving Oil 250 weekend at NBIS the long weekend, he will again be on double duty - racing his Sportsman Saturday night and the Pro Stock on Sunday.
