to sincerely thank everyone who helped make the 50th
Oxford 250 a success.
Thanks to the staff of
Oxford Plains and PASS Racing. From prep work to event
work to the clean up afterwards, it would not be

lot of work to get to the 250 and all of you are very
much appreciated.
Thanks to the Oxford Public
Safety personnel and support from surrounding towns, who
keep everyone safe during these large events.
And
last but not least thank you to you the fans, who
support Oxford Plains Speedway and PASS Racing, not just

250!
Sincere Thanks,
Tom Mayberry and Mike

COLE BUTCHER TWO-IN-A-ROW
at the 50th OXFORD 250 |
by Zach Evans
www.racingamerica.com |
Cole Butcher wrote his name into a special
chapter of the Oxford 250 history books in more ways
than one on Sunday evening.
Butcher won the 50th
Annual Spencer Group Paving Oxford 250 on Sunday, taking
the lead on lap 224 from Joey Doiron. With the win on
the event's golden anniversary, Butcher became the first
back-to-back winner of the event in nearly a decade.
"I can't thank Butcher Racing, everybody, Distance
Race Cars enough," said Butcher. "We worked hard. These
guys are the reason why I won. They had a hell of a pit
stop. Unbelievable, two in a row, 50th anniversary,
thank you Tom Mayberry, Mike Mayberry, Jason Ricker,
PASS, it's awesome."
Despite winning his heat
race to start the day, Butcher found himself quickly in
the rear of the field. On lap seven, Butcher made
contact with Jimmy Renfrew, Jr. in a battle for the
lead, sending Renfrew spinning and Butcher to the rear
of the field for his role in the incident.
"I got
a little bit too hot early in the race and got into the
00 [of Renfrew]," said Butcher. "I apologize to them and
their crew. It's unreal."
Nevertheless, the Nova
Scotia native worked his way back through the field,
muscling by Doiron with 27 laps to go and winning by a
little more than a second.
With the win, Cole
Butcher joins the list of back-to-back Oxford 250
winners. Others who have accomplished the feat include
Geoff Bodine (1980-81), Ralph Nason (1998-2000), Ben
Rowe (2003-04), Eddie MacDonald (2009-10), and Travis
Benjamin (2013-14).
Doiron had an impressive
drive of his own, starting in the final spot of the
41-car field with a provisional. Doiron inherited the
lead on lap 184 when Brandon Barker inherited the top
spot, and held off an advance from Johnny Clark before
ultimately finishing behind Butcher.
"I knew the
53 [of Butcher] was going to be coming," said Doiron.
"You can look at the hood, he doesn't pass anybody. It
is what it is. He was better once he was out in front. I
just got too tight behind him.
"Hopefully, one of
these years, we'll be able to get the top step on the
podium. We'll keep coming back until then."
D.J.
Shaw completed the podium, bouncing back from a spin
earlier in the race of his own to get back into the top
three.
"It was a good, solid night, all in all.
We had a good strategy," said Shaw. "I kind of skirted
up there and got on the curb when we took two [tires]. I
lost a lot of track position and got turned around. We
had to ride it out there, it took a long time for it to
come in on that run.
"We got by Cole and I
thought we were sitting in a good spot. We didn't have
quite enough on our last set, but we got up there and
finished where we deserved."
Johnny Clark and
Gabe Brown rounded out the top five. Max Cookson led
nearly 120 laps during the first half of the race before
finishing sixth, followed by Joey Pastore, Trevor
Sanborn, Derek Griffith and Austin Teras. |

Three-time winner Dave
Dion named Grand Marshall for 50th annual Oxford 250
New England icons Dion, Kourafas,
Aube to attend Milestone Event |
OXFORD, Maine (Aug. 18, 2023) -- As the nation's
richest single-day short track stock car race prepares
to celebrate a major milestone, the effort to recognize
racers who played a role in its history moves forward.
Oxford Plains Speedway track owner Tom Mayberry
announced on Friday that Dave Dion, one of the most
prolific winners in northeastern Late Model history,
will serve as Grand Marshall for the upcoming 50th
annual Spencer Group Paving Oxford 250 on Sunday, August
27.
Dion, who along with his famed Dion Brothers
Racing Team, won the 250 in 1975, 1985 and again in
1992. Always quick to credit his brothers for the team's
success, Dave has been a fan favorite across New England
for generations. His presence at the 250 will rekindle
memories from a bygone era.
"We're extremely
excited to have Dave serve as our Grand Marshall this
year," Mayberry said. "When it comes to high-profile
drivers in Oxford 250 history, Dave is near the top of
that list. He's always been a great ambassador for our
sport, and we're honored to have him give the command to
fire the engines."
Along with his duties as Grand
Marshall giving that command and waving the initial
Green Flag, Dion will join 1974 Oxford 200 winner Joey
Kourafas and two-time 250 winner Jamie Aube in a special
"Chat with 250 Legends" ceremony on the front stretch
just before this year's field is introduced.
"Joey Kourafas stunned the racing world when he won the
inaugural race back in 1974," Mayberry added. "He took
on the established veterans in a big, newly-created race
and beat the odds. We're thrilled to have him coming,
along with Vermont racing legend Jamie Aube. They're
stars in our sport."
Dion now resides in Florida
and is heavily involved with the Living Legends of Auto
Racing. The group recognizes important contributions to
stock car racing across the country. He spends his
summers here in New England, and says he's looking
forward to celebrating this 250 milestone on August 27.
"The 250 is such a huge deal, and always has been to
racers all over the country," Dion said. "All three of
my wins were different, but I'll remember how those
races played out forever. My longtime friend Mike Rowe
called me recently to ask if I was coming, but I wasn't
sure at the time."
"Now that I have this honor,
I'm beyond excited to go up and see not only Mike but
several other old friends, as well. We always had a
great time when we raced at Oxford. My memories of when
Bob Bahre ran the track are priceless. That was a very
special time in New England racing history."
To
many race fans around northern New England, the names
Dion, Kourafas and Aube will bring back memories of epic
battles and thrilling wins. We're all blessed these
icons of our sport are still able and willing to join in
this milestone celebration. Cameras and Sharpies will be
out in force on 250 Sunday. |

50th
Annual Spencer Group Paving
Oxford 250 Preview |
SLM ENTRIES - OXFORD 250 - 8/27 |
Oxford ME
- As the calendar edges closer and closer to the
50th annual Spencer Group Paving (SGP) Oxford
250 , thoughts start to lean toward who might be
the lucky driver wearing the winners wreath
around 8:30 pm on August 27th. Sixty-eight of the
best Super Late Model (SLM) drivers in the
country have filed their intent to compete in
the legendary race which may well be the biggest
short track race in the history of the Northeast
and beyond. In a normal year, just about every
top Super Late Model team puts forth a concerted
effort to etch their name in on the trophy next
to previous winners. When it's the 50th annual
event of one of the most storied short track
races in the nation, those efforts become
monumental.
"The Spencer Group Paving
Oxford 250 is always one of the most competitive
races we have every year," said PASS President
Tom Mayberry. "This season has already been
filled with some great competition and we really
think that will translate into something special
in August. We are all looking forward to seeing
a very competitive 250 this year, with just
about anyone having a chance to win."
No
less than a dozen winners with 18 wins under
their collective belt dot the entry list,
including defending champion Cole Butcher, Mike
and Ben Rowe, and Georgia's Bubba Pollard. Every
one of those drivers are a year over year threat
to win again.
Since 1974, 36 different
drivers have won an Oxford 250. Nine of those
drivers have been lucky enough to win multiple
races with four drivers visiting 250 victory
lane 3 times. Several drivers have won back to
back titles including Geoff Bodine, Ben Rowe,
and Eddie MacDonald while Ralph Nason is the
only one to win three consecutive 250s. All 12
of the former winners entered are very capable
of keeping the exclusive 250 winners club at
that current number of 36 by parking their cars
in victory lane.
There is another list
that is to be examined as we lead into the 50th
edition of one of the most difficult short track
races in the nation. The list of non-winners
entered would be enough to draw a crowd any day
of the week. DJ Shaw is one such name that has
been a constant front runner as he tries to
become the first Shaw family driver to win the
big one. Father Dale fell about a half a car
length short to Dave Dion in 1992, and DJ
himself has been a contender twice finishing
third as his career best finishes. "It seems
like this is a topic for us every year. Nobody
in the family has ever won it, so it would be
nice to finally win it and change the subject
every August," said a smiling Shaw.
The
list of veteran drivers entered so far that have
yet to win a Spencer Group Paving Oxford 250,
but have had a great deal of success all over
New England and beyond is immense. Drivers like
Joey Doiron, Dennis Spencer Jr., Alan Tardif,
Tracy Gordon, Mike Hopkins, Austin Theriault,
and Dave Farrington Jr. have all won Pro All
Stars Series (PASS) races and/or touring and
local championships. Add in front runners like
Kyle DeSouza, Shawn Knight, Ryan Robbins,
father-son combos Mike and Ben Rowe and TJ and
Tim Brackett, and the list of potential winners
gets deeper.
Among the single time
winners looking to enter that exclusive group of
multiple winners the aforementioned defending
Champion Cole Butcher who hopes to become the
sixth driver to go back to back, Cassius Clark
and Johnny Clark look to capitalize on recent
success, and Jeremie Whorff hopes to show his
win in 2006 was no fluke. Curtis Gerry and Glen
Luce hope to recapture the glory that made them
both 250 winners in the not so distant past.
One other category not to be over looked are
the list of "young guns" entered into the 50th
annual race. Nineteen year old Kulwicki
Development Driver Program (KDDP) candidate Max
Cookson leads the way of this group. Cookson is
the current points leader at OPS as well as on
the PASS tour both National and North Overall
points.
Austin Teras has won three times
in five starts in two different cars at OPS,
including back to back PASS 150 triumphs putting
his name near the top of favorites.
Derek Griffith, Gabe Brown, and Jimmy Renfrew
are three more drivers who consistently lurk
near the top of the speed charts and near the
front of any race. Add in Joe Pastore who led
over half the race in 2022, PASS 2022 champion
Ryan Kuhn, multi-time winner Garrett Hall, and
Brandon Barker as a few more drivers capable of
running at the front.
The 49 year history
of the Oxford 250 shows that the fickle finger
of fate sometimes points to a completely
unexpected winner. Independent racer Don
Biederman in 1977, 19 year old Tom Rotati in
1979, Larry Gelinas in 1996, Gary Drew in 2001,
and relative unknown Roger Brown in 2007 all
flew under the radar leading into their
respective victories.
2023 features
several drivers who quietly exhibit enough speed
to find themselves competing for the checkered
flag on August 27th. At the front of the dark
horse list is Scott Moore from North Anson
Maine. Moore has quietly put together a solid
season at OPS ranking number two in the hard
charger category which is a statistic that
represents how many cars a driver has passed
throughout the season. Youngster Kate Re has
also had a resurgent 2023 campaign scoring a
pair of podium finishes in weekly competition
and a win in late July. Steve Chicoine and
Calvin Rose Jr. have also spent a significant
amount of time running near the front. Add in
Scott McDaniel, Evan Hallstrom, Jimmy Hebert,
Ben Ashline, Corey Bubar, and Josh St. Clair and
it's easy to see the winner could easily come
from an unexpected driver.
With
sixty-one of the best drivers already registered
for one if the biggest races in OPS history the
50th annual Spencer Group Paving Oxford 250
promises to be one for the record books no
matter how you stack it!

50th OXFORD 250
2023 LAP BOARD |

Unique 250 Lap
Leader Program
Announced for the 50th
Annual
Spencer Group Paving Oxford
250 |
Oxford ME - Officials from
Oxford Plains Speedway (OPS) and the Pro all
Stars Series (PASS) announced that that laps for
the 50th Annual Spencer Group Paving Oxford 250
are officially for on sale for anyone wishing to
sponsor a lap. One Hundred percent of ALL
sponsorship money goes directly to the driver of
that lap. In a unique twist, OPS and PASS
President Tom Mayberry also announced that for
the first time ever, lap money would be awarded
to second and third place drivers on selected
laps.
"We wanted to do something special
for the 50th race this year," said Mayberry," so
we came up with the idea of letting the sponsor
of each lap decide if they want to also
contribute to the 2nd and 3rd place competitors
for their specified lap(s). This will be 100%
the decision of the sponsor, and either way ALL
proceeds will go to the driver(s)."
Every
single 250 laps were sold in 2022 for the 49th
annual edition of the late summer classic, and
officials with OPS and PASS hope to accomplish
the feat again in 2023 for the 50th race.
Spencer Group Paving Oxford 250 lap boards can
be seen at Oxford Plains.com and
Proallstarssereies.com with a special designated
mark for those that have added 2nd and 3rd place
drivers to their sponsorship.
The lap
leader program was introduced back in 1981 by a
forward thinking Bob Bahre as a way to add a
unique twist to the pit strategy of a 250 lap
race. The initial program paid $50 per lap to
the leader, before growing to $100 per lap in
1984 and where it has stayed since that time.
2023 will mark the first time in the race's
history that lap money will be paid to someone
other than the leader.
Many racers have
utilized the lap money as a way to insure a big
payday regardless of finishing position. Joe
Pastore, in 2022, led well over 120 laps in
route to a five figure pay day. However, the
driver of the number 20 arguably cost himself a
chance at victory as he eventually ran out of
gas and finished well back in the field at the
end of the day.
"It seems like the lap
money almost always plays a factor in race
strategy. It will be interesting to see if 2nd
and 3rd place drivers let that money affect
their decisions as the race progresses," said
Mayberry.
Yearly lap sponsor renewals
have been coming in at a brisk pace, OPS
officials report. Only a little over 100 laps
are still up for grabs for the landmark 50th
250. Drivers are excited for the new twist.
"I think that is a pretty neat deal," said
driver Dennis Spencer Jr. "I know I have run 2nd
or 3rd at times in some 250's and it would have
been nice to collect some lap money for that.
I'm glad to be a part of that this year."
Laps sponsors are made available to
businesses for advertising purposes. Those
sponsoring 3 lap blocks or more are able to
include a logo and number or link on the
leaderboards. Additionally, laps are also
offered to individuals who wish to send a
message of support to their favorite driver,
celebrate a birthday, or even in memory of a
loved one. All lap sponsors are displayed on the
website and in person at the speedway with a
billboard in the main concourse.
With
the 50th annual Spencer Group Paving Oxford 250
less than 60 days away, now is the time to
purchase your lap(s) to be a part of the biggest
short track race in the History of Oxford Plains
Speedway!
To sponsor a lap or many,
contact Mary between 9am and 7pm at 207-693-6497
or Kevin at 207-577-1836.

Spencer Group Paving to Headline the 50th
Oxford 250
|
Oxford ME -- Officials at Oxford Plains
Speedway (OPS) announced today that Spencer Group Paving
(SGP) has signed on as the headline sponsor for the 50th
Annual Oxford 250. The milestone event of the legendary
race will be contested on August 27th, 2023.
"Spencer Group Paving has been a tremendous supporter of
Oxford Plains Speedway and The Pro All Stars Series over
the last four or five years. I can't think of a better
partner for one of the biggest races in North America,"
said OPS owner Tom Mayberry. "Locking this in a few
months in advance also allows us to put our focus on
making it the best race we can."
Nearly 60
drivers have already sent in
entries for the 50th Annual Spencer Group Paving Oxford
250, with many more expected over the next 90 days.
Former winners Bubba Pollard and Cassius Clark, are the
most recent to declare, joining defending champion Cole
Butcher.
"I grew up watching my racing heroes and
dreaming about competing in the Oxford 250," said SGP
President and Super Late Model competitor Dennis Spencer
Jr. "To be able to actually put our name on such a big
race in its 50th year is beyond anything I had ever
considered. When Tom (Mayberry) approached me about
this, it was a no brainer really."
Founded in
2011, SGP is a mid-sized paving company based in Turner
Maine, specializing in MDOT roads, town roads, and large
scale parking lots. Spencer Paving Group prides
themselves in quality of work and superior
craftsmanship.
"We are going to be working with
Dennis and his team on some things around the speedway
to help improve the physical plant for the upcoming
race," said Mayberry. "SGP has done work for us before,
and it has always been top notch."
Mayberry also
noted some other special items were in store for the
50th edition of the Spencer Group Paving Oxford 250 that
would be announced in the coming months. One such
special event is the $100 lap leader program has been
extended to $150 per lap. Under this celebration format,
the lap leader will still receive the traditional $100 per
lap led, but for the selected laps, position 2 will pay
$30, and position 3 will pay $20.

"I think that is a pretty neat deal," said Spencer.
"I know I have run 2nd or 3rd at times in some 250s and
it would have been nice to collect some lap money for
that. I'm glad to be a part of that this year."
A
pedigree of notable racers over the previous years has
made the Spencer Group Paving Oxford 250 one of the most
prestigious short track races in the land that seems to
sit on the bucket list of some of the most successful
drivers. Notable national drivers like Kyle Busch and
Kevin Harvick entered and won well after their careers
were established. Others like Ricky Craven and Chuck
Bown used wins in the historic race to propel their
careers forward.
"With the caliber of entries we
have so far, I think this could be the most competitive
250 yet," said Mayberry.
No matter the
background, every driver wants to etch their name in
that trophy as the 50th all time winner of the Spencer
Group Paving Oxford 250.
