among
Armageddon of Destruction
winners at Oxford Plains
Speedway |
Oxford, Maine -- Richmond's Caleb Emerson-Mains
scored an impressive 25-lap victory Sunday afternoon,
highlighting the Armageddon of Destruction stock car
racing card at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Emerson-Mains would have seen a fair share of action in
his mirror if he was looking there, as there were a few
anxious rivals having difficulties with fellow
competitors on a few occasions. Veteran racer Ron Moon
of North Yarmouth put the exclamation point on his
championship season with a runner-up finish.
Gerry Freve of Buckfield raced to a third-place Outlaw
finish, in front of Gray's Steve Moon, and Will
Shurtleff of Dixfield. Steve Moon and winner
Emerson-Mains scored heat race wins.
Cam Childs
of Leeds dominated the 20-lap Rebels division main
event, winning by a very healthy margin. Oxford's Gerard
Cote was runner-up, with Caleb Emerson-Mains of Richmond
also scoring a podium finish. Rick Montminy of Auburn
and Oxford's Doug DeGroat rounded out the top five.
Brandon Varney of Auburn won his third consecutive
main event in the Cruiser division. Jacob Hethcoat of
South Paris made a vailiant effort that came up just
short to claim the runer-up trophy. Oxford's Phil
Knowlton, Will Dunphy, Jr. of New Gloucester and Paul
Rowe from South Paris filled out the top five rundown.
Ryan Farrar of Oxford continued his dominance of the
Truck class, outrunning a pack led by Gerry McKenna of
Wilton to the checkered flag. Mark Grantham of Casco
finished in third position. Nick Calvert of Steep Falls
and New Gloucester's Chuck Estes rounded out the top
five.
Kathryn Childs of Auburn held off a
determined challenge from Maggie Ferland of Auburn to
win the 25-lap Allen's Coffee Flavored Brandy Ladies
division race. Melissa Ferland of Auburn was third,
ahead of Chloe Kiley from South Paris and Mexico's Annie
Chartier.
Dana Cook outgunned Matt Marizuk in the
wild, yet highly-competitive, 50-lap Enduro race. Cook
and Marizuk swapped the lead a couple of times late in
the event. Josh Dube claimed the third-place trophy,
just ahead of PASS North Series Technical Inspector
Charlie Rockwell. David Robbins rounded out the top
five.
Nuclear Nick Hoyt prevailed in a wild,
21-car Flagpole Race. Jeff Wentzell and Josh Dube earned
second and third-place honors, followed by Dustin Brown
and Ben Lahey.
Ben Lahey smoked his rivals with a
4-wheel drive Chevy pickup in the fan-determined Smokey
Donut Show. Curtis Gerrish and Paul Suchecki also made
the final round in that contest.
Jeffrey
Whitney's 1986 Camaro defeated a Subaru WRX Nicholas
Brichetto in the Specattor Drags final. Matt Mahar
bested Tim Johnson in the ATV Drag competition.
This was the final event of the 2017 Season at Oxford
Plains Speedway. The 45th Annual Oxford 250 on August 26
highlights a soon-to-be-announced 2018 schedule for
Oxford Plains Speedway. Visit the track's Facebook page,

Before the afternoon's racing action got underway
the championship points awards were presented to the top
competitors in all five Oxford Acceleration Series
divisions, which compete mostly on Wednesday nights
throughout the summer months.
In the Outlaws
division the championship honors were presented to Ron
Moon of North Yarmouth. Ajay Cates of Lyman earned
Rookie-of-the-Year honors.
The Rebels division
champion is Cody Childs of Auburn. Ralph Green of South
Paris was the top freshman in the class.
Oxford's own Phil Knowlton claimed the Cruiser division
title. Jesse Tobin of South Paris was the top rookie.
Ryan Farrar of Oxford prevailed in the Truck
division title bout. Scarborough's Danny Wear was the
top rookie.
Maggie Ferland of Auburn was best in
Ladies competition in a division that had no rookie
competing regularly.
