Re: The Finish of the PASS Super Late Model
race at Oxford Plains Speedway on July 31, 2016
After viewing multiple videos and
photographs and discussing it with both race teams, we
decided that it was a dead
heat finish.
A video taken 32 feet behind the start
finish line shows the 97 car possibly slightly ahead but
a shot from this angle will always favor the outside
car.
After talking to many people, whose opinions
varied equally and after trying to recreate the finish
the best possible way with photos of vehicles taken at
the finish line from several different angles, we have
decided to call it a dead heat finish.
We are sorry for the confusion to the fans
and race teams. We’ll look to improve video angles for
the 250.

It’s Helliwell by inches in
PASS Super Late Model HP Hood 150
at Oxford Plains Speedway |
Oxford, Maine - Wayne Helliwell, Jr. of Dover,
New Hampshire prevailed by inches in a thrilling HP Hood
150 Pro All Stars Series Super Late Model race Sunday
night at Oxford Plains Speedway. Helliwell just managed
to edge out Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. of Hudson, New
Hampshire after an epic battle over the last dozen
circuits of the 150-lap race.
Polewarczyk led
most of the event's second half, looking for his second
straight PASS Super Late Model win after his
career-first score at White Mountain Motorsports Park in
North Woodstock, New Hampshire seven days earlier.
But Helliwell had other ideas, methodically working
his way into contention from an 18th starting position
to set up the late-race showdown with 12th-place starter
Polewarczyk. They raced side-by-side for most of the
last twelve laps, swapping lanes midway through the
battle.
While it was a career-first
points-counting PASS Super Late Model win for Helliwell,
it was his second straight Super Late Model win at
Oxford Plains Speedway after his recent 100-lap PASS
non-winners score. Helliwell also became the only
multi-race winner in the Super Late Model ranks this
season at the historic speedplant.
Mike Landry of
Oakland took a few tours of the oval as race leader
before crossing the finish line in third position, his
best-ever run at OPS. PASS North Super Late Model points
leader DJ Shaw helped out his championship quest with a
fourth-place finish. Veteran Tracy Gordon of Strong
rounded out the top five.
Reid Lanpher of
Manchester was sixth. Eddie MacDonald of Rowley,
Massachusetts filled in for the injured Joey Doiron and
finished in seventh position. Garrett Hall of
Scarborough, Glen Luce of Turner and Jay's Dave
Farrington, Jr. rounded out the top ten.
David
Vaughn of Naples picked up his first PASS Modified win
in a caution-filled 40-lap race. Vaughn held off last
year's track champion, Ryan Robbins of Dixfield, to
claim victory. Vaughn, driving for former championship
owner Dave Weir, started the race from fifth position.
Robbins took down runner-up honors, with six-time
series champion Andy Shaw of Center Conway ending up in
third position. Dana Reed of Shapleigh and New
Gloucester's Ben Tinker rounded out the top five.
Austin Teras of Windham extended his points lead in
the Legends Cars class with yet another 25-lap triumph.
Years inherited the lead when frontrunners Peter Craig
and Trevor Sanborn spun from the lead and took a couple
of other frontrunners off track with them.
Teras,
13, went on to post an easy victory in front of
Pembroke, New Hampshire's Casey Call. Colby Meserve of
Buxton claimed the third-place trophy, with the top five
filled out by Roger Edgecomb of Hiram and Windham's
Parker Varney.
The next Pro All Stars Series
North Super Late Model race is scheduled for Friday,
August 12 at Lee USA Speedway in Lee, New Hampshire.
