Bubba Pollard
Prevails
in 45th Oxford 250
Georgia racer wins in
first-ever Oxford Plains Speedway appearance |
|
Oxford, Maine -- Bubba Pollard showed New
England race fans that the reputation preceding him to
the 45th Annual Clark's Scrap Metal Oxford 250 was much
more than hype, winning the biggest one-day short track
Super Late Model race in his first attempt Sunday at
Oxford Plains Speedway. Pollard, from Senoia, Georgia,
got his first look at the Speedway on Friday.
The
definition of a true Super Late Model racing outlaw,
Pollard, 31, convinced New England race fans that he's
clearly among the best short track racers in North
America, conquering the unique Oxford Plains Speedway
racetrack in his first attempt. Pollard took the lead
away from Travis Benjamin of Belfast, a two-time Oxford
250 champion in his own right, then outran another
former 250 champion, Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. of Hudson,
New Hampshire to the checkered flag.
Reid Lanpher
of Manchester made a late charge into third position
during the closing laps. Scarborough's Garrett Hall
ended up in fourth place after dominating more than half
the race from his pole starting position, earning some
$20,00-plus with lap leader bonuses included. Berwick's
Joey Doiron, a former PASS Super Late Model National
Champion, rounded out the top five.
Pollard
overcame a bad draw - he started dead last in the final
of five heat races - and needed to run a second-round
20-lap qualifying race to earn 29th starting position in
the 42-car starting field. Dealing with a field of
unfamiliar foes in a race with traffic rivaled by few,
if any, big Super Late Model races, Pollard made all of
the right moves as he methodically moved into contention
for the win.
A racer's racer, Pollard was
impressive from the drop of the green flag, working his
way into the top five during the long green flag stretch
that opened the 250. Seemingly making all of the right
moves in traffic as the Super Late Models frequently
raced three-wide, the appreciative Maine crowd soon
realized the third-generation Peach State racer was
going to be a contender to pick up the big check at the
end of the annual Maine classic.
In victory lane,
Pollard expressed his appreciation to the crowd, as
clearly he was jacked up and ready to perform before the
full grandstand, increasingly rare in the smartphone
age. The crowd returned the love, clearly appreciating
the successful effort of the first-time OPS invader.
Polewarczyk, a winner during the brief Late Model
era of the 250 and no stranger to victory lane in a
Super Late Model at Oxford Plains Speedway, looked like
a contender in the early stages and put together an
impressive late charge into the runner-up position.
Lanpher, twice a runner-up in the 250, claimed his third
podium finish and 250 trophy.
Hall was the story
for more than half of the race, leading all but a few
laps for more than the first half of the 250,
occasionally battling and swapping the lead with
seven-time OPS track champion Jeff Taylor of Fairfield,
making his first Super Late Model start of the year. The
young Scarborough racer scored his best-ever racing
payday, despite just missing out on a trophy, posting a
fourth-place finish.
Doiron, an infrequent
competitor on the region's top Super Late Model circuit
this season, rounded out the top-five. Current Pro All
Stars Series North championship points leader DJ Shaw of
Center Conway, New Hampshire was sixth under the
checkered flag, one spot better than his closest rival
in the standings, Benjamin.
Mike Hopkins of
Hermon raced among the leader throughout the 250-lapper
and earned an eight-place finish. Brandon Barker of
Windham ended up in ninth position , with the top ten
rundown filled out by Ben Rowe of Turner, who claimed
some lap leader bonus money and battled up front with
winner Pollard for several laps.
Ben Tinker of
New Gloucester padded his advantage atop the
championship points standings in the PASS Mods ranks,
winning his fifth 40-lap feature race of the year in an
eventful race. Bruce Helmuth of Wales was the runner-up,
followed by Milford, New Hampshire's Steve Dickey, Jr.
The three podium finishers were also in those same spots
at last year's Oxford 250 program.
Saturday
night winner Spencer Morse of Waterford was fourth,
followed by second-ranked points man Gary Shackford of
Center Conway, New Hampshire. The Mods race next along
with the PASS North Super Late Models at Beech Ridge
Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine on Saturday,
September 23 before wrapping up their championship
season back at Oxford Plains Speedway on October 13.
Zach Audet of Norridgewock surprised virtually no
one with his victory in the North East Mini Stock Tour's
50-lap race. Audet, the king of four-cylinder racing in
Central Maine and beyond, outran Kodi Sabens of Windsor,
Vermont to the checkered flag. Jimmy Childs of Leeds,
survived several days of practice and a crash earlier in
the afternoon to claim the third-place trophy. Michael
Viens of Seekonk, Massachusetts and Sidney's Matt
Glidden rounded out the top five.
Allen's Coffee
Flavored Brandy Street Stock points leader Matt Dufault
of Turner charged past Skip Tripp on the final lap to
win the 30-lap main event for The Taste of Maine
division, just barely edging the division's all-time
wins leader at the finish line by .017-seconds, mere
inches.
Tripp, hopping into John White's 12 car
for the weekend, kept five-time winner and defending
track champion Billy Childs, Jr., who had won on the
previous night, at bay but couldn't keep Dufault out of
victory lane before the healthy crowd. Championship
contender Tyler King of Gray made a late charge into
third position. Childs and fellow Leeds racer Kyle
Hewins rounded out the top five.
John Childs of
Leeds cruised up the outside lane and into the lead,
then outran all rivals to score his first-ever Oxford
250 Sunday win in the Rebel class. Travis Lovejoy of
Waterboro was closest to Childs as the checkered flag
wavedWaterford's Jamie Heath, Oxford's Gerard Cote and
Rick Montminy from Auburn filled out the top-five
rundown.
The next Pro All Stars Series North
Super Late Model race is scheduled for Saturday,
September 15 at White Mountain Motorsports Park in North
Woodstock, New Hampshire. Next on the Oxford Plains
Speedway is Motor Mayhem 4, featuring the Oxford
Acceleration Series divisions along with an endure race
and other interesting motorized entertainment.

Could This Weekend’s 45th Annual
Oxford
250 Be The Best Yet? |
NAPLES, ME (August 23) - With nearly 70 entries
and campers already covering the grounds of Oxford
Plains Speedway, anticipation for this weekend's
45thAnnual Clark's Scrap Metal Oxford 250 has reached a
fever pitch. The best Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Super
Late Model drivers from across the United States and
Canada are currently arriving for Maine's largest
sporting event. An event that is expected to attract
over 10,000 fans to the area over the course of the
weekend.
Last year's winner, Curtis Gerry, is
clearly the favorite to become the first back-to-back
winner of the 250 since Travis Benjamin accomplished the
feat in 2014. In addition to winning the 250 last year,
the native of Waterboro, ME, has won the last four PASS
North Super Late Model races at Oxford Plains and that
has him excited about his prospects this weekend.
"It is an awesome feeling knowing that we have such
momentum going with this winning streak, but it's very
stressful also," says Gerry, driver of the #7 Ripley &
Fletcher Ford. "We have a great car and just need a good
draw [in the heat races] and a clean race and we'll see
where we end up."
One of the most talked up
drivers coming to the Clark's Scrap Metal Oxford 250
this weekend is Senoia, GA's, Bubba Pollard. Pollard has
been one of the most successful Super Late Model drivers
in the country over the last decade and recently got
locked in to the 250 by virtue of his PASS South win at
South Boston Speedway. Coming to Oxford for the first
time, Pollard will team with former two-time Oxford 250
winner, Ben Rowe, in their Senneker Performance Chassis
to try and help speed up his learning curve in the big
race.
"Getting locked in to Oxford was huge, it's
big," says Pollard, driver of the Harrison's Work Gear
Ford #26. "Oxford is gonna be a tough field, those guys
are good. We've been working hard all year to try and
make that our race to focus on, so I hope we can do it."
Canadians have been a big part of the Oxford 250
since Ontario's Don Biederman became the first Canuck to
win in 1977. Several Canadian drivers are once again
entered this year, with Nova Scotia's, Cole Butcher,
being one of the most successful. Butcher hopes to end
Canada's winless streak in the 250 by becoming the first
Canadian to win since Dave Whitlock in 1995.
"We
left for Oxford on Wednesday and are staying the whole
weekend," says Butcher, driver of the Atlantic Tiltload
#53. "We're putting a lot of effort into the 250. The
competition is always so tough at Oxford, but we think
we will have something for them this time around."
The competition will be keen this year and hard to
predict with the starting lineup being determined by the
ever-exciting heat races. When looking at local Super
Late Model shows at Oxford Plains, it makes predicting
the winner of the 250 even harder. Brandon Barker and
Ivan Kaffel recently scored their first Super Late Model
wins there, while three-time Oxford 250 winner, Mike
Rowe, picked up the win last weekend.
And then
there are the championship contenders. DJ Shaw and
Travis Benjamin competing for the PASS North title,
while Derek Griffith, Ray Christian, III, Ben Rowe, and
Kodie Conner are all in the thick for the PASS National
Championship.
The 45thAnnual Clark's Scrap Metal
Oxford 250 will go green on Sunday afternoon, August 26
with the heat races to determine the starting lineup
going green at 1:30 PM for the PASS Super Late Models,
PASS Modifieds, Rebels, Street Stocks, and NEMST. With
the possibility of $50,000 going to the winner, the
Oxford 250 is the biggest single day event in
motorsports, with nearly 70 Pro All Stars Series (PASS)
Super Late Models expected to compete in the qualifying
heats and main event, and it is all held on Sunday,
August 26. In addition to the showcase event on Sunday,
fans will have the chance to enjoy a full weekend of
racing at Oxford Plains Speedway. It will all begin on
Friday, August 24 when the PASS Super Late Models will
get their first chance to take to the track for
practice. Beginning at 6:30 PM, a full slate of heat and
feature racing gets under way for the Outlaws, Rebels,
Street Stocks, Cruisers, Trucks, Ladies, Legends, and
Bandits.
On Saturday, August 25, the PASS Super
Late Models will have another opportunity to practice
before heats and features begin for the ACT Late Models,
PASS Modifieds, Street Stocks, NEMST Cyclones, NE Lites,
and Wicked Good.

NAPLES, ME (February 16) - Pro All Stars Series
(PASS) President Tom Mayberry announced today the expansion
of the newly named "Roads To Oxford And Richmond" program in
2018. Now in its fifth year, the groundbreaking "Roads To
Oxford And Richmond" concept will expand to give racers
across the continent the chance to compete in short track
asphalt racing's biggest events. Competitors from both the
United States and Canada will have the opportunity to race
for guaranteed starting spots, while keeping focused on the
45th Annual Oxford 250 and the inaugural Commonwealth
Classic at Richmond Raceway throughout the season.
The 2017 Oxford 250 saw droves of race fans from across
North America and over 60 Super Late Models make the trek to
Oxford Plains Speedway in Maine, as the venerable race
continues to be one of the biggest short track events in the
world. And beginning this year, racers across several short
track disciplines will have the opportunity to race at the
Richmond Raceway in Virginia as part of the inaugural PASS
Commonwealth Classic in October.
"The Oxford 250 is
continuing the tradition as one of the premier events in all
of short track racing and with the addition of Richmond,
PASS racers will have the chance to compete in two of the
biggest events in North America," said Mayberry. "The 'Roads
To Oxford And Richmond' will be bigger than ever in 2018. We
will be able to keep the 250 and Richmond in focus
throughout the year and give competitors at several venues
the chance to get locked in."
This year's program
will see the winners of four select races in the United
States and Canada get a guaranteed starting position at full
start money for the Oxford 250 or at Richmond. The remaining
top five finishers in each of these events will be
guaranteed a starting position for the Oxford 250 or
Richmond at half start money.
The first event to be
featured will be the famed Easter Bunny 150 at North
Carolina's Hickory Motor Speedway on March 31. The "Roads"
then continue to an international event in the Canadian
province of New Brunswick, with the series' first trip to
Petty International Raceway on June 2. Then, a special
Tuesday night 200 lapper paying $5,000 to win on July 3,
will be held at Spud Speedway in Caribou, ME. The final race
as part of the "Roads To Oxford And Richmond" will be on
Sunday, July 29 at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Additionally, the top licensed drivers in points from PASS
North, PASS South, and the PASS National Championship
Series, will have provisionals available, if needed, as long
as they have attempted to qualify for every race in their
chosen series. All drivers that will have guaranteed spots
through the "Roads To Oxford And Richmond" or via
championship points provisionals have to compete in their
heat races, qualifying, or in their consolation races, but
will not have to compete in the last chances race if they
have not already advanced. A full schedule of events and
support divisions for the 45th Annual Oxford 250 at Oxford
Plains Speedway and the inaugural PASS Commonwealth Classic
at Richmond Raceway will be announced in the near future.
