For Ryan Deane Tops Budweiser Championship
Series Stock Car Racing Card |
Oxford, Maine - Ryan Deane of Winterport earned
his first-ever Oxford Plains Speedway Super Late Model
victory in a non-stop, 50-lap main event Saturday night.
Deane did most of his work in the tough outside
groove, driving around racelong leader Dan McKeage of
Gorham with about 20 laps remaining. Dean, who started
from fifth position, also drove around championship
points leader Gabe Brown of Center Conway, New Hampshire
and four-time track champion Tim Brackett of Buckfield
en route to victory.
McKeage, making a rare
Saturday night appearance at OPS, hung on to post a
second-place finish. Brown extended his advantage atop
the season-long rankings with a third-place finish.
Trevor Sanborn of East Parsonsfield ended up in fourth
spot after starting 11th, making most of his progress in
the outside groove.
Ryan Robbins of Dixfield
grabbed the final top-five finishing position on the
final lap, at the expense of Anson's Scott Moore. Brad
Babb of Windham, TJ Brackett of Buckfield, Calvin Rose,
Jr. of Turner and Conway, New Hampshire's Mark Lundblad,
Jr. filled out the top-ten rundown.
Reigning
Allen's Coffee Brandy Street Stock champion Billy
Childs, Jr. of Leeds won his fourth main event of the
year, setting a blistering pace to earn his victory lane
appearance. Childs started seventh and methodically
worked his way into contention in the non-stop, 30-lap
event.
Childs took the lead away from Norway's
Jordan Russell, who matched a career-best, second-place
Street Stock finish. Oxford's Ryan Hewins raced from
dead last on the starting grid to a third-place
performance. Oxford's Skip Stanley led a few laps and
finished fourth. Tyler King of Gray rounded out the top
five.
Waterboro's Travis Lovejoy cruised to his
first win in the Bandits division, leading all 20 laps
in the Budweiser Championship Series' only four-cylinder
racing class. Lovejoy outdistanced championship points
leader Dustin Salley of Poland, who prevailed in a long
battle for runner-up honors with defending Bandits
champion Brandon Varmey of Mechanic Falls. Chad Wills of
Buckfield was fourth, followed by Oxford's Shaun
Hinkley.
Charlie 'Chachy' Hall of Oxford led all
20 laps on his way to a first-ever Figure 8 race
triumph. Hall had to hold off championship points leader
Kyle Kilgore of South Paris to earn the win. Greg Durgin
of South Paris was third, followed by Dale Lawrence of
Lisbon and Oxford's Kyle Glover.
Thomas Brackett
of Auburn posted his ninth victory of the year in the
15-lap Rookie division race. The previous week's winner,
Brady Heath, was the runner-up. Owen Stuart crossed the
line in third position, ahead of Brady Childs from
Leeds.
