on night before
the 250 |
Oxford, Maine - Eddie MacDonald of Rowley,
Massachusetts, known as 'The Outlaw' in Late Model
racing circles, added to his impressive resume in that
class at Oxford Plains Speedway Saturday night with a
win in the headlining American-Canadian Tour 150-lapper
at the historic Route 26 oval racetrack in Oxford,
Maine.
MacDonald, twice a winner of the
prestigious Oxford 250 during its' brief period as a
Late Model race, will try for his third triumph in
Maine's Greatest Racing Classic on Sunday afternoon in
his Super Late Model ride. On Saturday he took the race
lead away from young Vermonter Evan Hallstrom, then
outraced ACT championship contender Jimmy Hebert of
Williamstown, Vermont to the checkered flag.
Hallstrom ended up with a career-first ACT Late Model
Tour podium finish. 'Mad' Max Dolliver of Londonderry,
New Hampshire impressed in his first-ever ACT
appearance, racing to a fourth-place finish in the Chad
Sullivan 0. Steuben's Rowland 'Rockin JR' Robinson
rounded out the top five.
Spencer Morse of
Waterford made his second-ever PASS Mods start a
memorable one, winning the 40-lap race for the
open-wheel Pro All Stars Series class at the track he
grew up at, watching his father and even previous
generations of family succeed.
Morse became the
first second-generation PASS Mods winner. His father,
Richie Morse, almost won the PASS Mods championship in
2005 and is a former champion in the old Limited
Sportsman class. Spencer Morse led all 40 laps en route
to victory, outdistancing former OPS Street Stock
champion Gary Shackford - who had raced the winner's dad
once or twice before - to the checkered flag.
Morse and Shackford were chased under the checkered flag
by Adam Gray of Belchertown, Massachusetts, another
relative newcomer to the division. Points leader and
defending PASS Mods champion Ben Tinker of New
Gloucester was the fourth-place finisher, ahead of
former Mods champion Mark Lucas of Harpswell.
Billy Childs, Jr. of Leeds won his fifth main event of
the season in the Allen's Coffee Flavored Brandy Street
Stock class. Childs, the champion of the division last
season, took the lead away from David Vaughn of Naples
and cruised to victory in impressive fashion.
Vaughn held off a fast-closing Rodney Williams Racing
teammate, Matt Dufault of Turner, to earn runner-up
honors. Dufault remained atop the Allen's Coffee
Flavored Brandy championship standings with his
third-place finish. Zach Bowie of Turner and Gray's
Tyler king rounded out the top five.
Jamie Heath
of Waterford added yet another victory in yet another
class to his Oxford Plains Speedway resume, prevailing
in a 30-lap race for the new North East Mini Stock Tour
Cyclone class. Gorham, New Hampshire native Cody Leblanc
was the runner-up, with hometown racer Shaun Hinkley
third across the start-finish line. Buckfield's Chad
Wills was apparently unhappy with his fourth-place run.
Keith Lloyd earned a fifth-place finish.
Duane
Skofield of Plaistow, New Hampshire was best in a 20-lap
main event for the North East Classic Lites. Waterford,
Vermont's Andy Hill was the runner-up, with Robbie
Bryant of Weymouth, Massachusetts filling out the
podium. Stew McCormack of Plaistow New Hampshire and
former Oxford Plains Speedway Mini Stock champion Justin
Larsen of Peru rounded out the top five.
Jud
Derbyshire of Mount Vernon drove a Rambler to victory in
the Wicked Good Vintage Racing Association Late Model
race. Kevin Waterhouse of West Paris was the runner-up
in a Studebaker. Casco's Bobby Symonds was third under
the checkered flag with a 1957 Chevrolet.
Brad
Babb of Windham cruised to victory in the Wicked Good
Vintage Racing Association Modified race, driving the
Goodwin Hannaford 71 to victory lane. Raynham,
Massachusetts invader Scott Dion claimed runner-up
honors, ahead of Mount Vernon's Sid Smith.
Dale
Lawrence of Lisbon nailed down his fifth victory of the
year in the 20-lap Figure 8 race. Eric Hodgkins of Minot
rebounded from an early incident to finish second, just
ahead of current championship points leader Kyle Kilgore
of South Paris. Greg Durgin of South Paris and Lisbon's
Robert Morey rounded out the top five.
