THIRD STRAIGHT SUPER LATE MODEL
SCORE
FOR 5/7 OXFORD PLAINS
SPEEDWAY WINNER REID LANPHER |
Oxford, Maine - 18-year-old Reid Lanpher of
Manchester continued his outstanding start to the 2017
racing season with a 50-lap Super Late Model triumph on
Opening Day for the Budweiser Championship Series at
Oxford Plains Speedway Saturday afternoon.
It was
his third victory this season in his new Jason
Ricker-prepared ride, following up a 300-lap Pro All
Stars Series win at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway and the
150-lap PASS North opener last month at Oxford Plains
Speedway.
Lanpher took the lead away from
Winthrop's Jeff White, who paced the first 30 laps, then
held off Scarborough's Garrett Hall en route to victory
lane. White, who is the only driver to see a checkered
flag in front of Lanpher so far this season with his
heat win earlier in the afternoon, finished up in third
position.
Former track champion TJ Brackett of
Buckfield made an impressive, late-race charge into
fourth position. Turner's Shawn Martin rounded out the
top five, just in front of Bangor's Gary Smith, who
raced with the leaders throughout the 50-lap distance.
Alan Tardiff of Lyman, Justin Drake of Burnham,
Rhode Island's Kyle DeSouza and Kyle Treadwell of
Buckfield completed the top-ten rundown. Gunnar Rowe of
Turner joined White and Smith as heat race winners.
Tyler King of Livermore made a bold, three-wide move
in lapped traffic to get by race leader Billy Childs,
Jr. of Leeds, then went on to win the 30-lap Allen's
Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stock feature race. King,
in just his third race in the class, held on to pot his
first-ever Street Stock win.
Childs easily held
on for second-place honors in front of Bridgton's Bryce
Mains, who saw a two-race winning streak snapped. West
Poland's David Whittier was fourth, in front of Lisbon's
Rick Spaulding. King also scored in the heat race.
Reigning Bandits division track champion Jamie Heath
of Waterford powered into an early race lead that he
would not relinquish to win the 20-lap main event. Heath
held off Leeds teenager Cam Childs, who started the race
from last position, to earn the emotional victory.
Heath and Childs were chased under the checkered
flag by newcomer Scott Jordan of Auburn. Charlie
'Chachy' Hall of Oxford and Auburn's Brandon Varney of
Auburn filled out the top five. Shaun Hinkley of Oxford
and Varney won the heat races.
Legendary Figure 8
competitor David Smith of South Paris led throughout the
15-lap Figure 8 race to post the Opening Day victory.
Tommy Tompkins of Carthage was closing on the leader as
the checkered flag waved, but was forced to settle for
runner-up honors. South Paris racer Kyle Kilgore was a
close third at the finish line. Greg Durgin of South
Paris and Minot's Eric Hodgkins rounded out the top
five.
The Budweiser Championship Series at
Oxford Plains Speedway moves to a weekly Saturday night
racing schedule this week (May 13). Post time is 7:00
p.m. For more information visit oxfordplains.com or call
