First Super Late Model Win
for Ryan Robbins at
OPS |
Oxford, Maine - Ryan Robbins of Dixfield raced
to his first Super Late Model victory Saturday night,
headlining the Budweiser Championship Series stock car
racing program at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Robbins, a former track champion in the Modified class
and a former king of the touring PASS Mods, moved into
the region's top oval track racing division one year
ago. On Saturday, Robbins drove around reigning track
champion Alan Tardiff of Lyman, and then pulled away
from the rest of the field to claim victory in the
50-lap race.
Gabe Brown of Center Conway, New
Hampshire continued to impress, driving from dead last
on the starting grid to earn second-place honors, using
three-wide moves on a couple of occasions to move into
contention. The 15-year-old racer has vaulted into
championship contention as he seeks his first stock car
racing victory after a stellar go-kart career.
Curtis Gerry of Waterboro, twice a winner in Pro All
Stars Series Super Late Model competition at Oxford
Plains Speedway this season and the reigning Oxford 250
champion, drove from 15th starting position to post a
third-place finish.
Super Late Model rookie and
multi-time OPS Legends Car champion Austin Teras was the
fourth-place finsher, with Gorham's Dan McKeage rounding
out the top five.
Zach Bowie of Greene picked up
his first victory in several seasons, winning the 30-lap
feature event for the Allen's Coffee Flavored Brandy
Street Stock division. Bowie had challengers throughout
the race, most notably from Matt Dufault of Turner, who
led the championship standings by one point entering the
night's action.
Dufault chased Bowie under the
checkered flag to earn runner-up honors, with Lisbon's
Rick Spaulding next across the finish line. Tyler King
of Gray and Norway's Jordan Russell filled out the top
five.
In the 20-lap Bandits feature Buckfield's Chad Wills
helped his championship hopes out with a hard-earned
win. Kyle Hewins, the unofficial Godfather
of the class, claimed the second-place trophy. Adam
Sanborn of West Paris Kurt Hewins of Leeds. and Dustin
Sally of Poland rounded
out the top five.
Dale Lawrence of Lisbon nailed
down his first win of the season in the 20-lap Figure 8
race. Lawrence swapped the race lead with legendary
Maine Hall of Fame racer Jon Lizotte en route to his
second career stock car racing victory.
Kyle
Kilgore of South Paris moved to the top of the
championship standings with a runner-up finish. Lizotte,
in his first start of the season, earned a third-place
finish. A pair of South Paris drivers, Greg Durgin and
David Smith, rounded out the top-five rundown.
Thomas Brackett of Auburn outran Waterford's Brady Heath
for his third win of the year in the 15-lap Rookie
division race.
