GLEN LUCE OF TURNER,
ME CLAIMS $30,000-PLUS VICTORY IN
42nd ANNUAL
AIM OXFORD 250 |
Oxford, Maine - Glen Luce of Turner scored an
emotional victory, and a $30,000-plus payday, in
Sunday's 42nd Annual AIM Recycling USA Oxford 250 at
Oxford Plains Speedway.
For Luce, who once
finished second to NASCAR star Kevin Harvick in the
annual classic, it was not only a career highlight, but
a dream come true for someone who grew up at the
historic Maine racetrack.
After drawing a
dead-last starting spot in his heat race, Luce worked
his way into fourth place, earning the 22nd starting
position in the 250. Twice he worked his way into
contention before pitting for tires, first for a pair,
later for a full, fresh set.
After outgunning
Berwick's Joey Doiron for the lead, Luce outran
Manchester teenager Reid Lanpher to the checkered flag.
For both Luce and Lanpher it was a career-best PASS
Super Late Model finish, coming in the biggest-paying
race of the year.
Luce and Lanpher were chased to
the checkered flag by Ben Lynch, a New Hampshire native
now living in North Carolina. Six-time PASS North Super
Late Model champion Johnny Clark of Farmingdale ended up
in fourth position. The top five was filled out by
50-lap last chance race winner Joey Polewarczyk, Jr.,
who started the 250-lapper in 34th position.
Cassius Clark earned a sixth-place finish in the Rollie
MacDonald 13. Wayne Helliwell, Jr ended up in seventh
after leading more than half the race, earning a hefty
bonus in lap leader awards. Helliwell also turned in the
fastest lap of the race. Rounding out the top ten were
Corey Bubar of Windham, David Oliver of Standish and
East Parsonsfield's Trevor Sanborn.
Evan
Armington of Lovell won the 25-lap race for OPS Mods on
Saturday night and then backed that up with a 40-lap
victory for PASS Modified tour points on Sunday
afternoon in the Pro All Stars Series lone open-wheel
series.
Armington was chased under the checkered
flag by reigning series champion Andy Shaw of Center
Conway, New Hampshire, driving the Sumner Sessions 0.
Jimmy Emerson of Windham led the early stages of the
race, finishing up in third position. Ryan Robbins of
Dixfield and Newburgh's Scott Alexander rounded out the
top five.
Josh Childs of Oxford won for the
second straight night in Allen's Coffee Flavored Brandy
Street Stock competition, outrunning Bryce Mains of
Naples to the checkered flag. Dan Brown of Peru earned
the third-place trophy, in front of Turner's Calvin
Rose, Jr. and David Whittier of Poland.
Ryan Kuhn
of East Bridgewater, Massachusetts raced to his
first-ever INEX Legends Cars win. Kuhn outgunned
Jolicure, New Brunswick competitor Corey Hall for the
victory, with Hall claiming runner-up honors after
leading most of the 25-lapper. Nicholas Naugle of
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia finished third for the second
straight night at OPS. Early race leader Austin Teras of
Windham ended up in fourth place, followed by Emily
Meehan of Rawdon Gold Mines, Nova Scotia.
David
Cook of Livermore Falls started from the pole and led
all the way in a special, 50-lap race for the MacDonald
Motors Runnin' Rebel class. Kyle Hewins of Leeds won an
entertaining, race-long battle for runner-up honors with
the winner's brother, Derek Cook of Livermore Falls.
Matthew Mahar of Buckfield and Auburn's Cody Childs
rounded out the top five in an event with a lot of
paint-swapping throughout the top ten.
Oxford
Plains Speedway is located on Route 26 in Oxford, Maine.

Tradition, New
Faces, And Huge Field Highlight 42nd Annual Oxford 250
Entry
List Up To 71 As Race Approaches |
NAPLES, ME (August 26) - With the 42nd Annual
AIM Recycling Oxford 250 Presented By Kenny U-Pull only
days away, race teams and fans from across North America
are making their way towards the historic Oxford Plains
Speedway in Maine. Over 70 of the very best Super Late
Models from all over the continent are expected to try
and qualify for the richest single day motorsports event
in the world. Despite practices on Friday and Saturday
for the prestigious event, the field will be determined
by a series of heat races and consolation races that
will provide plenty of drama as drivers attempt to make
the cut for the $25,000-plus to win top prize.
Since 1974 when Joey Kourafas bested nearly 100 other
drivers to win the inaugural AIM Recycling Oxford 250
Presented By Kenny U-Pull, the heat races and the
difficulty to qualify are part of what has made this
race legendary. Whether a champion or a rookie, much of
what can make or break your weekend depends on the draw
to determine starting positions for the heat races. But
a bad draw does not necessarily spell imminent doom.
3-time AIM Recycling Oxford 250 winner has never started
better than 10th on the way to any of his victories. As
a matter of fact, Rowe started back in 37th and had to
advance to the 250 via the consolation race for his most
recent win in 2005.
In addition to trying to
become the first 4-time winner of the AIM Recycling
Oxford 250, Mike Rowe is seeking his first Pro All Stars
Series (PASS) North Super Late Model championship.
Despite winning the inaugural PASS South Super Late
Model title in 2006, the 64-year-old legend has never
managed to win New England's top racing championship.
Rowe comes into this year's 250 as the PASS AIM
Recycling Super Late Model points leader over defending
series champion, DJ Shaw and 2-time defending Oxford 250
winner, Travis Benjamin. With a 40-plus car starting
field for the AIM Recycling Oxford 250 on Sunday, a bad
finish, or even worse yet, failing to qualify for the
race could prove to be disastrous in the race for the
championship.
Likewise, the race for the PASS
National Championship is even tighter coming to Oxford
Plains. Berwick, ME's Joey Doiron leads the national
championship fight by a single point over 2-time PASS
National Champion, Ben Rowe, and just six points over
Durham, NC's Tate Fogleman. Of those three, only Ben
Rowe has a 250 win taking the checkered flag twice in
2003 and 2004.
"I know exactly how hard the 250
is to win," says Ben Rowe, who is also the all-time
winningest driver in PASS history. "People all over the
country know about the Oxford 250, but this race means
everything to the people of New England. You just never
know what's going to happen throughout qualifying and
the entire day."
Perhaps more than anything
entering Sunday's 42nd Annual AIM Recycling Oxford 250
Presented By Kenny U-Pull is how wide open this year's
race is. Most observers will agree that there is no
clear-cut favorite and that a surprise winner is not out
of the realm of possibility. New Hampshire drivers Bryan
Kruczek and Jeremy Davis have emerged as dark horses for
the win. Kruczek has been able to score his first two
career PASS wins this season and Jeremy Davis went to
victory lane for the first time in his career at
Autodrome Montmagny.
The winner could come from
the weekly Super Late Model competitors that race at
Oxford Plains Speedway. The top five drivers in weekly
points, Tim Brackett, Kyle Treadwell, Alan Wilson, Vanna
Brackett, and Scott Robbins, have all entered the 250
and have more knowledge of the quirks that make up
Oxford Plains Speedway than most of the drivers who are
attempting to qualify.
Among the 70 drivers who
have recently entered for this weekend's race include
two former race winners. Eddie MacDonald returns seeking
his first Oxford 250 win since going back-to-back in
2009 and 2010. MacDonald will be making his second PASS
start of the season following his win in the inaugural
Super Late Model race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
And, Jeramie Whorff, the 2006 250 winner, returns with
the Dick Woodman team as he looks for another chance at
victory.
A busy week of racing action at Oxford
Plains Speedway leading up to the 42nd Annual Oxford 250
Presented By Kenny U-Pull begins on Friday, August 28
with practice for the PASS Super Late Models, along with
features for the PASS Modifieds, Outlaws, Ladies,
Rebels, Cruisers, Street Stocks and Bandits. On
Saturday, August 29, there will be more practice for the
PASS Super Late Models, followed by features for the
Valenti Modified Series, Street Stocks, OPS Modifieds,
Wicked Good Racers, Classic Lites, and the New England
Mini Stock Tour (NEMST). Then, on Sunday, August 29, the
day will begin at 9 AM with rotating practice for all
divisions, followed by heat and consolation races at
1:30 PM featuring the PASS Super Late Models. The PASS
Modifieds, Rebels, and Street Stocks will then have
feature races followed by the green flag for the 42nd
Annual AIM Recycling Oxford 250 Presented By Kenny
U-Pull at approximately 5:30 PM. Additionally, the INEX
Legends cars have been added to all 3 days of racing
during the weekend at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Entry forms, the complete weekend schedule, and more
detailed information can be found at
ProAllStarsSeries.com and
oxfordplains.com.
The Pro All Stars Series is recognized as North
America's premier sanctioning body for asphalt Super
Late Models and boasts such marquee events as the
legendary AIM Recycling Oxford 250 Presented By Kenny
U-Pull at Oxford Plains Speedway and PASS South's Easter
Bunny 150 at the historic Hickory Motor Speedway.

42nd Annual AIM Recycling
Oxford 250
To Be Broadcast Live on Speed51.com |
Naples, ME - For many years now, race fans
throughout the country have been telling their friends,
"I wish there was a way to watch live video of the
Oxford 250." In 2015, those wishes will come true.
Speed51.com,
the Pro All Stars Series and Oxford Plains Speedway are
pleased to announce that the 42nd Annual AIM Recycling
Oxford 250 will be able to seen around the world via a
live pay-per-view broadcast on 51 TV, the online video
streaming service on Speed51.com powered by JEGS.
Fans can purchase their three-day video (Friday,
Saturday, Sunday) ticket for Oxford 250 weekend now for
just $51.99. A single-day ticket for Sunday only can be
purchased for $29.99.
The race, coined "the
richest single day short track racing event in North
America," will see the winner take home a minimum of
$25,100 and as much as $50,000 on Sunday, August 30. It
is an event that race fans throughout the country drop
what they're doing to follow, and now for the first
time, those same fans will be able to watch the race as
well.
"The AIM Recycling Oxford 250 is big in its
own right, but now this makes it even bigger," said Tom
Mayberry, owner of the Pro All Stars Series. "So many
people come to this race each year, but so many more
cannot. Now people all over the country that can't make
it, for whatever reason, will be able to watch it
through Speed51.com.
"This race is talked about
throughout the United States and we're excited to bring
it to everyone with this live broadcast."
Part of
what makes the Oxford 250 so special is the heat race
format used for qualifying. Some even say the qualifying
is worth the price of admission. In this case, it will
be worth the price of a video ticket as well, because
all three rounds of qualifying (heats, consis and last
chance race) will be broadcast live on 51 TV.
Currently, 53 drivers are on the entry list for the
biggest Super Late Model event in the Northeast and many
expect there to be 70-80 cars attempting to qualify on
August 30. The entry list currently reads like a who's
who in Super Late Model racing with recent NASCAR
Camping World Truck Series winner Christopher Bell,
current PASS North points leader Mike Rowe and defending
PASS North champion DJ Shaw being just a handful of
drivers hoping to end two-time defending race winner
Travis Benjamin's bid at three straight wins.
"The Oxford 250 is one of the crown jewel events of
short track racing," said Bob Dillner, Executive Editor
of Speed51.com. "I've been to the race as a fan and as a
competitor, so now I'm personally excited to be there to
bring it to fans on a streaming video broadcast to a
worldwide audience. We will have multiple cameras to
bring a network-style feel to everyone watching from
home, work or while they are out and about."
In
addition to all of the action on Sunday, 51 TV will also
be live covering the racing action on Friday and
Saturday night.
51 TV will go live for the first
time at Oxford Plains Speedway on Friday afternoon to
cover a portion of the first Super Late Model practice
session. The track's weekly warriors will also be
highlighted to a national audience on Friday night's
broadcast that will feature the PASS Modifieds, Street
Stocks, Outlaws, Sports Trucks, Ladies, Rebels, Cruisers
and Bandits.
Friday night's action can be
purchased separately for just $14.99.
Saturday's
live broadcast will once again feature a portion of
Super Late Model practice as teams dial in their cars
for the prestigious Oxford 250. The ground-pounding
Modifieds of the Valenti Modified Racing Series will be
in the spotlight on Saturday night and their 100-lap
event will be broadcast live on 51 TV. They will be
joined by the North East Mini Stock Tour, Street Stocks,
PASS Modifieds, Wicked Good Racers and Classic Lites.
Saturday night's live broadcast can be purchased
by itself for $19.99.
On Sunday, it will be the

2015 Oxford 250 Camping Policy |
Oxford Plains Speedway has changed
the camping policy for the Oxford 250. This event
requires an astronomical amount of public safety
services to keep the public safe throughout the weekend.
The Oxford Police Department does a fantastic job
handling the event and providing the man power to keep
everyone safe throughout the weekend, However providing
these services accumulates a huge cost as they provide
great coverage to the entire facility.
The
invoice for the Oxford 250 from the Oxford Police
department is in excess of $20,000 each year, and that
does not include the cost for the fire and rescue
services that the Town of Oxford also provides for this
event with medical staff on the grounds around the clock
throughout the entire weekend. Oxford Plains Speedway
has discussed these costs with town officials and we
have come to the conclusion that there is no way to
substantially decrease these costs and keep the same
level of public safety.
Oxford Plains Speedway wants to
keep camping at the Speedway an affordable option for
race fans and has come up with the following policy.
Campers will be allowed to come in on Tuesday morning,
August 25th, the week of the Oxford 250.
Pricing Structure
Campers that come in on Tuesday
morning will be charged $60.
Campers that come in on Wednesday
will be charged $50.
Campers that come in on Thursday
will be charged $40.
Campers that come in on Friday and
throughout the rest of the
weekend will be charged $30.
