Scores Oxford Plains
Victory |
Oxford, Maine --
Burnham’s Justin Drake earned his first Oxford
Plains Speedway race victory of the season
Saturday night. Drake outran a quality field of
Super Late Models in the 50-lap main event,
topping the Budweiser Championship Series racing
card at the historic Route 26 oval track for the
third time in his career.
Drake swapped
the early race lead with Ellsworth's Andy
Saunders, then held off challenges from Scott
Robbins and Derek Griffith to post the win.
Robbins, of Dixfield, again impressed using the
entire racing surface in his drive through
traffic into the runner-up position, where he
finished.
Griffith, a two-time winner so
far this year in Pro All Stars Series Super Late
Model competition, claimed his second
third-place finish in his second 50-lap
Budweiser Championship Series appearance of the
season. TJ Brackett of Buckfield, the previous
week's Super Late Model winner, was fourth under
the checkered flag. Dixfield's Ryan Robbins
earned a fifth-place finish after starting the
race in 15th spot.
Rookie Austin Teras of
Gray was sixth, followed by Shawn Martin of
Turner, Saunders, Gabe Brown of Center Conway,
New Hampshire and defending OPS Super Late Model
champion Alan Tardiff of Lyman.
Matt
Dufault of Turner prevailed in a non-stop 30-lap
main event for the Allen's Coffee Flavored
Brandy division. It was the first victory of the
season for Dufault, wheeling a wicked-quick
antique Camaro racecar owned by Rodney Williams.
Norway's Mark Turner was dialed in, with an
outstanding drive netting him a second-place
trophy. Tyler King of Gray, already a two-time
winner this season, filled the final step on the
podium. Greene's Andrew Breton led the first
half-dozen laps of the race and ended up in
fourth place. Tyson Jordan of Oxford was fifth
in his first appearance of the season.
Former champion Jamie Heath of Waterford raced
to his first victory of the season, padding his
lead in the championship points standings in the
four-cylinder Bandits class. Heath battled Rob
Crepeau of Minot for the race lead, then
maintained an advantage on the track for the
balance of the 20-lapper.
Dustin Salley
of Poland, the previous week's winner, prevailed
in a late battle for runner-up honors with
Crepeau, who finished up in third position. Cam
Childs of Leeds andf Oxford's Chad Wills rounded
out the top five.
Eric Hodgkins of Minot
nailed down his second consecutive victory in
the 20-lap Figure 8 race. Hodgkins chased down
and passed early race leader Dale Lawrence of
Lisbon and went on to victory lane, claiming the
championship points lead in the process.
Lawrence hung on to claim runner-up honors,
ahead of opening day winner Kyle Kilgore of
South Paris. Poland's Larry Lizotte managed a
fourth-place finish, ahead of local Figure 8
racing legend David Smith of South Paris.
Thomas Brackett of Oxford outran Brady Heath
of Waterford in a 15-lap race for the new Rookie
division.

big doubleheader weekend coming up May 19-20 at
