We would like to thank
everyone who made this 250 Weekend a success.
It takes a lot of people to make this thing work.
This year we had the challenge of Mother Nature
during the 250.
We want to thank all of the fans who waited patiently
during the rain delay.
And a huge thanks to our volunteer track drying
heroes. Without
your help the rain delay would have been really long.
With your help we were able to get the race completed in
a reasonable amount of time.
Thank you so much! |

Jeff Taylor
Holds Off Bubba Pollard
for Elusive
Oxford 250 Triumph |
|
by Tim Packmsn - Racing America
News |
When the checkered flag finally waved over the
51st Bar Harbor Bank & Trust Oxford 250, it was
nine-time Oxford Plains Speedway track champion Jeff
Taylor standing tall next to his No. 88 in Victory Lane.
After battling 41 other competitors and enduring a
three-hour rain delay, Taylor won the Oxford Plains
Speedway’s prestigious race for the very first time in
28 attempts.
It was a reflective and slightly
shocked driver talking about his win afterwards.
“I honestly don’t know how we won,” the Farmington,
Maine native shared. “I can’t believe this, we don’t run
full-time like a lot of these other drivers. I can tell
you one thing, that rain delay really helped this car
out a lot.
“There are so many people who helped
us out. We just threw a team of volunteers together to
beat these other teams. It’s unbelievable, it really is
something.
In the closing laps, Taylor withstood
a fierce challenge from 2018 Oxford 250 winner Bubba
Pollard. Taylor successfully defended the bottom lane to
hold off Pollard for the win.
“We had the track
position, and I’ve watched Bubba Pollard race enough to
know I needed to just stay on the bottom. He had the
outside to pass me if he wanted.”
Pollard came up
one position short of repeating his 2018 Oxford 250
victory and appreciated how the race ended.
“It
was good. I don’t like running second, but I’m okay with
how it ended with Jeff winning.” Pollard said. “This is
big for him, his family and team.
“This is what
short track racing is all about. I love coming up here
to Oxford. There were a lot of people who helped me get
here this weekend, and I can’t thank them enough.”
The Oxford 250 starting line-up had 42 drivers
taking the green flag, which guaranteed all kinds of
action would take place around the 3/8-mile Oxford
Plains Speedway. Adding in pit stops, tire strategy,
race strategy and weather strategy made the event more
interesting.
Leading the field to green was Ryan
Kuhn and Joey Doiron in the front row. They took off and
battled for the lead in the early going with Doiron
taking the lead from Kuhn by lap six.
Negotiating
lap traffic by lap 21 slowed Doiron and Kuhn down just
enough to allow their competitors to close in. One
driver taking advantage of it was Derek Griffith,
running third at the time.
At the lap-50 mark,
Griffith worked his way to second and began closing in
on the leader of Doiron as they negotiated the slower
cars. The first caution of the night took place on lap
52 to rerack the field.
Multiple teams hit pit
road with some taking two and others four tires, while
checking tire pressures to improve handling.
Doiron and Griffith led the way on the Lap 53 restart
and quickly tried to separate themselves from the field.
Kuhn was in third with a hard-charging Bubba Pollard
working the high side.
After another restart on
Lap 56, Pollard really let the leaders know he was there
to race by taking over second place. After looking to
the outside and inside of the leader Kuhn, Pollard
powered his way past Kuhn with 181 laps to go.
From there, they raced side-by-side for multiple laps
battling for the lead until a caution three laps later
showing Doiron as the leader. With all eyes on the
Senoia, Georgia native of Pollard to the outside of
Berwick, Maine’s Doiron, the race resumed to see who
would lead next.
With 34 cars still on the lead
lap, Doiron continued to lead Pollard as Griffith now
joined the top three. Pollard surrendered second to
Griffith with 165 laps remaining, who then fell into the
clutches of DJ Shaw who took over third place on lap 89.
Under two more cautions, Pollard and many other
leaders hit pit road for tires, mostly two, and
adjustments. The phrase “cautions breed cautions” was in
full effect from laps 98 to 105.
On the ensuing
restarts, Doiron worked the wheel holding off Griffith,
Shaw and Sanborn. Behind them, their fellow competitors
were racing two and three wide to gain positions.
After a long-green flag run, and just nine laps from
the halfway point of the race, Mother Nature showed up
as rain forced the field onto pit road.
After the
three-hour rain delay, the 34 remaining cars tried to
get a feel for the freshly washed surface. Doiron and
Griffith set the pace from the front row when the green
flag waved.
Behind them, a three-car pile-up
happened on the frontstretch with them all coming to
rest under the flag stand.
On Lap 122, a light
rain started again bringing out the caution. This time,
cars remained out to keep some heat in the track to
continue racing sooner.
Once the Oxford 250
restarted, a 10-car wreck took place on Lap 124 in Turn
1 sending several cars pit side and done for the night.
Until this point, the leader of Doiron had still not
been to pit road.
Race strategy for his team was
paramount as to when he would pit, and how many tires
he’d take. Other teams were also paying attention,
because the second-place car of Griffith had been passed
and was back to fourth.
Garrett Hall and Mike
Hopkins were now in second and third, respectively, and
chasing down the leader of Doiron. With 113 laps
remaining, the caution came out and this was when Doiron
hit pit road taking four tires, fuel and adjustments.
Hall and Hopkins also came to the attention of their
crew to take four tires. Griffith decided to remain out
and take over the lead, Moltz would line up second for
the restart.
Griffin would be passed for the lead
by DJ Shaw with 95 laps remaining, who overtook him on
the outside and quickly separated himself from the
second to seventh positions.
On lap 175, Shaw had
a 4.1-second lead over Griffith, Moltz and Pollard, who
had returned to the top five running order after an
earlier pit stop put him back to 28th place. Five laps
later, Pollard had moved to second and was on the
charge.
A caution 10 laps later allowed Griffith
to finally pit for tires, but problems changing the left
front cost him valuable track position. Also pitting was
Pollard, giving up second place.
Shaw and Gabe
Brown showed the way for the restart, which was followed
by another caution. The pace of the race picked up with
a long green flag run that included Pollard breaking
back into the top five, Taylor taking over second, Brown
to third and Pollard fourth.
With 43 to go,
Pollard raced his way to third with the leader of Shaw
working his way through lap traffic. Taylor started
looking to the outside of Shaw with 35 laps remaining as
Pollard closed in on them both.
The scoreboard
showed 30 laps remaining when Shaw, Taylor and Pollard
were running within .1 seconds of each other battling
for position. Taylor took the lead five laps later, but
now lap traffic was becoming a factor as Pollard leaped
into second.
Pollard was filling the rearview
mirror of Taylor as he chased him around the track.
Looking to the inside and outside of the leader, Pollard
was looking for a way to take the lead.
Taylor
was looking for his first Oxford 250 victory, Pollard
his second as he kept trying to the outside. That didn’t
work, so Pollard backed off a bit to cool his tires.
Five laps remained when Taylor started to pull away
from Pollard with a three-car length lead. When the
checkered flag waved, Taylor took the win and his very
first Oxford 250.
Pollard was second and Shaw
third at the stripe. |
