Reid Lanpher, Curtis Gerry win
non-stop 50-lap
Super Late Model
races at Oxford Plains Speedway |
Oxford, Maine - Manchester's Reid Lanpher and
Curtis Gerry of Waterboro prevailed in a pair of
caution-free, 50-lap Super Late Model main events
Saturday afternoon at Oxford Plains Speedway, topping
the Budweiser Championship Series stock car racing card
at the popular .375-mile paved oval track.
Lanpher dominated the first race from his front row
starting position, his fastest lap a quarter-second
better than his nearest rival in the non-stop affair.
Gerry, after starting fourth, was 2.714-seconds behind
Lanpher, with polesitter Ryan Deane of Winterport
earning third-place hardware.
Ryan Robbins of
Dixfield, who lined up in seventh spot, earned the first
of his two top five finishes on the afternoon with a
fourth-place run. Buckfield's TJ Brackett rounded out
the top five, followed by Shawn Martin of Turner, Jeff
Taylor of Farmington, Glen Luce of Turner, Rusty Poland
of Windham and New Gloucester's Ben Tinker.
Gerry
started third in the second race and outran nine-time
track champion Taylor to the checkered flag in a much
closer, and still caution-free event for the speedy top
class at the historic Route 26 oval track. Taylor, an
infrequent entrant in recent years at the track he once
dominated, kept things close, finishing less than a
half-second behind Gerry in the second Super Late Model
50-lapper.
Deane nailed down his second
third-place finish of the day, just ahead of a
fast-closing Lanpher, who turned in the fastest lap of
the race after starting from 12th position.
Tenth-starting Robbins made a late move into fifth spot,
his second top five finish of the afternoon.
Defending Allen's Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stock
track champion Matt Dufault of Turner started his title
defense off in style, using the outside groove liberally
to win the season-opening, 30-lap main event aboard an
aging Rodney Williams Camaro.
Patrick Thorne of
Standish had his best run since joining the class,
chasing the champ under the checkered flag, with Kurt
Hewins of Leeds third across the finish line. Jon Brill
of Turner and Sabattus racer Jim Davis rounded out the
top five in the first of two 30-lappers for the
division.
Hometown Oxford racer Skip Stanley
claimed his first win in the Street Stock finale,
battling Brill for the top spot early, then outrunning
defending champion Dufault to the checkered flag in the
second 30-lap race. Kurt Hewins of Leeds got his second
third-place trophy on the afternoon. Thorne and Brill
completed the top five rundown in the Allen's Coffee
Flavored Brandy-sponsored class.
Defending
Bandits division champion Dustin Salley of Mechanic
Falls emerged triumphantly from the first race in his
class this year. Shaun Hinkley of Oxford, another former
champion in the class, was the best of the rest in the
20-lap test. Chad Wills of Oxford, Travis 'Tornado'
Verrill of Oxford and Turner's Tyler Green rounded out
the top five.
Hinkley, the 205 Bandits champ,
prevailed in round two, outrunning Rob Crepeau of West
Paris to the checkered flag. Green, returning after a
year's absence, claimed third-place hardware in front of
Bryant Pond's Mike McKinney and Salley in the second
20-lapper for the four-cylinder Budweiser Championship
Series class.
Larry Lizotte of Poland took top
honors in the first of two 20-lap races for the Figure 8
competitors. Lizotte outgunned race-long leader Dale
Lawrence on a restart and held off Oxford's Kyle Glover
after Lawrence spun. Charlie 'Chachy' Hall of Oxford was
third, followed by Eric Hodgkins of Minot and Lawrence.
Lawrence, of Minot, made no mistakes in round two,
outrunning first-race victor Larry Lizotte to victory
lane. Glover ended up third to earn his second trophy of
the afternoon. A pair of South Paris racers, Gregory
Durgin and Kyle Kilgore, rounded out the top five in the
second Figure 8 division race.
The second-year
Rookie class for young racers saw Brady Childs of Leeds
win twice in a pair of good battles versus Owen Stuart
of Naples. Sophie Green of West Paris picked up the
third-place trophy in the first race, with Maddy Herrick
of Norway third in the second event. Jeremy Turner led
the action at one point before a bout with the wall
shortened his afternoon.
