Kelly Moore impressive in
Super Late Model race at
Oxford Plains Speedway |
Oxford, ME - Kelly Moore of Scarborough outran
all foes with seeming ease once in front of the 50-lap
Budweiser Championship Series Super Late Model race,
topping the Saturday night stock car racing card at
Oxford Plains Speedway. In victory lane the winner
thanked his son, Ryan, and Jamie Lorfano for putting
together an exceptionally-quick racecar for him to
drive.
Moore, the all-time winningest driver and
a former champion of the legendary NASCAR Busch North
Series and the 1984 track champion at OPS, started
fourth in the main event and quickly moved up to battle
front row starter Brandon Barker of Windham for early
supremacy.
The veteran champ easily held off all
rivals through a couple of restarts and finished about
1.6-seconds ahead of the previous week's winner and
current championship points leader, Curtis Gerry of
Waterboro. Former track champ Scott Robbins of Dixfield
battled his way to a third-place finish in his first
appearance of the season.
Livermore's Scott
McDaniel looked like a contender for much of the race
and just mieed out on a trophy. Calvin Rose, Jr. of
Turner was a top-five runner all race long, ending up in
ffith position. Filling out the top ten were Shawn
Martin of Turner, Adam Polvinen of Hebron; Wentworth,
New Hampshire rookie Richie Brown, Barker and Ryan
Robbins of Dixfield.
The Jackhammer, Shawn Knight
of South Paris, romped to his first victory in the
Allen's Coffee Flavored brandy Street Stock race,
pulling off a crowd-thrilling; three-wide pass to claim
a lead he would not relinquish. Knight started third and
watched Skip Tripp of Norway battle Lisbon's Rick
Spaulding for several laps before Knight found room
underneath both frontrunners, then pulled away to win
the caution-free, 30-lap race by more than three
seconds.
Defending Street Stock champion Matt
Dufault of Turner had an engine go sour in the RW
Plumbing 61, so he hitched a ride in the George Haskell
99 and impressed everyone with a drive from 10th
starting position to second spot under the checkered
flag in the unfamiliar mount. Spaulding was third,
followed by Kurt Hewins of Leeds and Tripp.
Owen
Stuart of Naples nailed down his third victory of the
year in a 15-lap main event for the Rookie class, made
up of youngsters not yet old enough for highway driving.
Stuart came out on top in tight race against current
points leader Brady Childs of Leeds after they had spent
the vast majority of the race battling side-by-side for
the lead position. Derek Cook of Minot claimed the
third-place trophy.
Driving his 1939
Pontiac-bodied stock car, Bub Dow of West Paris
prevailed after a race-long battle versus Caribou's
Jesse Michaud in the 15-lap feature race for Wicked Good
Vintage Racing Association Hobby division competitors.
Mark Bowie of South Paris was third in a 1966 Dodge
carrying the traditional family number, P38. John Knapp
of Bowdinham and Warren's Keith Smalley rounded out the
top five.
