SHOW AND TELL
Justin Karkos couldn't have asked for a better second half to the 2008
season, and 2009 isn't off to a bad start, either. Karkos proudly
displayed his best-in-show award from the Northeast Motorsports Expo over
the weekend.
Corey Morgan's Oxford Networks Late Model
ride looked sharp, as usual.
"The Kid" Ben Ashline unveiled his 2009 Late Model
transportation, and it looks all grown up to us.
Racin' Ron Prevost is only halfway through his Florida winter, but the New
England Dodge Dealers Charger pace car is in good hands and fine form.
Thank you to all OPS fans and drivers for joining us in Augusta.
Don't forget your season passes and 250 ticket renewals! Don't forget to
enjoy affordable family fun on the weekends at Oxford Plains Snow Tubing!
Opening Day is on its way ...
It's automatic
Every sport has its all-star showcase, and regional stock car racing is no
different. That ever-changing scene has produced a pair of new and
exciting opportunities for OPS weekly competitors.
The 2009 Oxford Networks Late Model champion will receive an automatic
berth in the inaugural American-Canadian Tour Showdown at New Hampshire
Motor Speedway the weekend of Sept. 18-20. In addition to being the
first-ever opportunity for ACT to compete at the Magic Mile, the race will
be held in conjunction with NASCAR Sprint Cup weekend.
OPS is also pleased to announce that the winner of the Double T Fence 100
for Mini Stocks on June 20 will earn a provisional starting spot in the
third-annual Four-Cylinder Nationals at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway on
Sunday, August 2.
Want to be noticed throughout Maine and beyond the borders? OPS is the
place to race, this and every season!
