Spencer Beats the Best for First PASS
Victory |
Oxford, Maine - While the weather forecast
looked bleak Saturday, October 16th weather was a
non-factor for the Spencer Group Paving PASS New England
North finale. Competitors were able to get all 375 Laps
of feature racing in at Oxford Plains Speedway. Over 100
cars entered the pits for four exciting divisions. 44 of
which were Super Late Models.
With only 35 Spots
available for the Spencer Group Paving 150 and 44
participants Oxford proved for exciting heat racing
action like always. The four Super Late Model Heats were
won by Trevor Sanborn, Scott, McDaniel, Garret Hall and
Scott Mulkern as he continues his comeback after a
failed attempt at retirement.
Due to those heat
wins Mulkern and McDaniel led the field to green for the
Spencer Group Paving 150. McDaniel in the #14 battled
hard on the outside of the #84 of Mulkern for a dozen
laps before finally clearing to the bottom just before
2001 Oxford 250 Champion Gary Drew took a spin on the
front stretch causing the first caution of the race.
McDaniel maintained the lead on the ensuing restart
but on Lap 16 Calvin Rose snuck to the inside of
McDaniel just before a Justin Larson spin slowed the
field for the second caution. Rose took his Lake City
Exports Chevrolet to the point and took off leading the
next 30 plus laps before Dennis Spencer Jr. found his
rhythm in the outside groove. Dennis ran down and passed
both Calvin Rose and Oxford standout Curtis Gerry.
Spencer has over thirty victories at Oxford and 4 Oxford
Plains Track Championships in the Limited Sportsman and
Late Model ranks. He had won about everything you can at
Oxford except a PASS race.
While Spencer was
opening up an impressive lead Johnny Clark was on the
move, looking to clinch his 7th PASS North Championship.
With 85 Laps to go Johnny's Clark's Scrap Metals
Crushing/Port City Racecars #54 made contact with the 7L
of Glen Luce who was running 4th. Luce spun and slowed
the field for the fourth time on the day. Clark would
continue his march to the front by getting past Calvin
Rose and would work his way past Curtis Gerry for a
moment. However Gerry would fight back and regain the
second spot. Gerry had the fastest car late in the race
and got to the back bumper of Spencer but it was to no
avail as Spencer won his first Pro All Stars Series
Super Late Model event by less than a car length.
Dennis said later in victory lane, "Early in the
race the guys were trying to tell me to save my stuff. I
wasn't really driving it that hard. When Curtis was with
me that's all I had. It's just awesome to win. Best in
the business second and third. To beat them guys is
awesome."
Curtis Gerry has been on a streak of
seconds lately coming up just short in the Oxford 250 to
Cassius Clark this year. By Gerry's count this was the
fifth big race this season where he finished second
right on the back bumper of the winner.
Johnny
Clark came home third and was crowned the Pass New
England North Champion, and his efforts were good enough
to almost clinch his 7th career Pass North Overall
Championship and his first since 2011.
4th place
went to 2014 Pass Sportsman Champion Joey Pastore #20
and the top 5 was rounded out by the #99 Ben Ashline of
Elmira, Maine.
The Super Late Models still have
one race left to go on the season October 23rd at
Seekonk. "The Haunted Hundred" will also decide the last
two Championships, The New England South battle as well
as the PASS National Championship. Derek Griffith, DJ
Shaw and Johnny Clark will all have another chance to
pick up season long hardware in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
The other Championship to be
decided on 10/16 was a lot more hotly contested. The
PASS MODS division has quickly become one of the most
competitive divisions in the northeast with 6 drivers
mathematically having a shot at the championship coming
into the final event of the year. 18-year-old Max
Cookson lead the point standings by just 2 points over
19-year-old Garret Lamb with Ajay Cates, Brandon Varney,
Shawn Knight and Spencer Morse having outside chances to
win the Championship.
In the 18 years of PASS
MODS competition a rookie had never won the
championship, and Cookson, Lamb and Brandon Varney all
had the opportunity to do just that. Cates, Varney and
another rookie Alex Ricker all took heat race wins.
Ricker and Varney lead the field to green for the 75 lap
feature.
Varney took off with the early advantage
over Ricker and looked on pace to win his first ever
PASS MODS race, leading 51 laps and holding off a host
of different competitors throughout a multitude of
restarts.
The PASS MODS normally only run 50
laps but the extended race caused the #1 Henry's
Concrete Modified to fade. "The Iracing Kid" Max Cookson
was there to capitalize pulling past Varney on lap 52.
Ryan Ripley and Tyler King were also charging to
the front, but once Max took the lead it was obvious
that Max would be picking up his 6th official win of the
season and his third straight. Lamb had an off day
finishing 13th after a late race incident, handing Max
the Championship by 30 points.
It wasn't all
easy for Max this year although it did look it on the
track. Max recovered from an early season
disqualification and a 100-point disadvantage to win his
first championship in his first full season in a stock
car let alone the highly competitive MODS tour. Max has
already sold his current car and will be moving up to
the weekly Super Late Model ranks at Oxford in 2022.
Cookson took home the checkers with 2020 Champion
Tyler King in second. 2021 two-time winner Ryan Ripley
was third with Spencer Morse and Dan Brown rounding out
the top 5.
The Street Stocks gave a try at a Milk
Bowl style event with three 25 lap races. Whomever had
the lowest overall finishing position would be the
winner. It didn't take a whole lot of work on the
calculator to figure out Jordan Russell of Norway was
the Winner. He won all three of the 25 lappers and put
on an absolute clinic.
Jordan beat out Brian
Caswell, Ryan Phillips, John Brill and George Haskell
and proved that his 2021 OPS Track Championship was not
a fluke and that he is one of the best support series
drivers in New England.
The Limited
Sportsman/Sport Series/Super Street Division was a
staple at Oxford Plains Speedway from 1977 till 2006
when previous track owner Bill Ryan pulled the plug on
the division. In those nearly 30 years it was known as
one of the most competitive divisions and best racing
that could be seen anywhere. Drivers like Carey Martin,
Dennis Spencer Jr., Richie Morse, Gary Shackford and
Kenny Harrison cut their teeth in for years in that
division creating stars. The Sportsman made a few
one-off trips to Oxford under the PASSs banner in 2012
to 2014 but fans at Oxford Plains Speedway have been
without them at all for years. With the recent closing
of Beech Ridge Motor Speedway Tom Mayberry has once
again found a place for racers to race. Creating an open
show for the now endangered division and potentially a
full-time class next season.
It's pretty fitting
that a Harrison would end up in victory lane on the
return trip. Robbie Harrison won in the return to Oxford
after missing most of the race season with a heel injury
suffered in a victory celebration earlier this season at
Beech Ridge. Harrison refrained from jumping up and down
in victory lane but did do a heck of a burnout.
Robbie edged out 2021 and 4-time Beech Ridge Sport
Series Champion Chris Smith to do it. Devin Curit ran
third after contact with his brother Dominic Curit who
finished 4th, while James Osmond a Wiscasset regular
finished 5th.
We would like to thank all the
fans and support series drivers for another great season
at Oxford. While the Oxford season is officially over
you can still get one more fix of short track racing.
ONE. MORE. RACE will be held this season for the Pro All
Stars Series, the American Canadian Tour, and the
Tri-Track Open Modified Series on Saturday, October 23rd
at Seekonk Speedway in Seekonk, Massachusetts. Racing
starts at 1:00 PM for three, 100 lap features showcasing
all of the top talents in New England. |
