Oxford, Maine - Cassius
Clark of Farmington scored an impressive 50-lap Super
Late Model victory Saturday afternoon, kicking off the
2018 Budweiser Championship Series season at Oxford
Plains Speedway.
Clark, driving the King Racing
13 owned by Nova Scotia racing legend Rollie MacDonald,
started fourth and had to get by reigning track champion
Alan Tardiff of Lyman and multi-time Oxford 250
runner-up Reid Lanpher of Manchester to earn his trip to
victory lane.
Lanpher hung on and posted a
second-place finish, just in front of current Pro All
Stars Series National Championship leader Derek Griffith
of Hudson, New Hampshire. Gabe Brown, a 15-year-old
newcomer from Center Conway, New Hampshire, finished in
fourth position, with defending titlist Tardiff fifth
under the checkered flag.
Tyler King of Livermore
coasted to victory in the 30-lap main event for Allen's
Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stock competitors. King
won his heat race before leading the full distance in
the finale. Lisbon's Rick 'Flash' Spaulding was the best
of the rest, with Norway's Mark Turner picking up the
official third-place finish after a penalty was assessed
to Jordan Russell. Turner's Matt Dufauklt and Rick
Thompson of Naples rounded out the top five.
Shaun Hinkley of Oxford prevailed in a thrilling 20-lap
feature race for the Bandits division, outgunning two
other former champions in the four-cylinder class to
claim opening day honors. Waterford's Jamie Heath earned
runner-up honors, with the podium filled out by the
division's reigning champion, Brandon Varney, now from
Mechanic Falls. Rob Crepeau of Minot and Oxford's Chad
Wills rounded out the top five.
Kyle Kilgore of
South Paris drove to victory aboard his wild-looking
creation in the 20-lap Figure 8 race. Minot's Eric
Hodgkins bounced back from an on-track altercation to
claim runner-up honors. David Smith raced to a
well-earned third-place finish, ahead of Greg Durgin of
South Paris and Lisbon's Dale Lawrence.
