SUMMER HOME 



The TD Banknorth 250 annual home page is up and running. 

Can Kenny or Steve Wallace follow Kevin Harvick to victory lane in the region's richest and most time-honored short track race?

Check out all the latest news as it builds over the next ...

21 days!!


AL, BE SURE 



Evans Boston of WGME visited OPS last week to meet with local legend Al Hammond, who was testing his Oxford Networks Late Model in preparation for a return to his home track on July 4.

Hammond isn't the only former champion back in business. None other than the "Hurricane from Minot, Maine" Bruce Haley practiced his new #52 Late Model two Saturdays ago.

Both drivers are expected to enter the TD Banknorth 250. Watch for more of this trend in the coming weeks, months and years as OPS continues to prove itself Maine's place to race!


 OH, THE HUMANITY ... 



So you think you know Motor Mayhem? Think again.

Wait 'til you see what we've got cooked up for Friday, July 10.
