Glen Luce Best in Oxford

Reigning Oxford 250 Kingpin
Wins
Budweiser Championship Series Opener |
Oxford, Maine -- Glen Luce of Turner followed up
his most successful racing season ever with an opening
day victory in the Budweiser Championship Series Super
Late Model division season-opener Sunday afternoon at
Oxford Plains Speedway.
Luce, who fulfilled the
goal of most every Maine stock car racer with a
$31,000-plus victory in last year's Oxford 250, nailed
down this 50-lap triumph after an early battle for the
lead with Norway's Chris Coolidge.
Late in the
going Luce had to turn back a challenge from Buckfield's
Timmy Brackett, the track's reigning Super Late Model
champion. Brackett finished up .036-seconds behind the
winner at the line, with Coolidge coasting home in third
position.
Adam Polvinen made up a lot of ground
late in the race to earn a fourth-place finish, with
multi-time Late Model track champion Shawn Martin of
Turner completing the top five. Sixth through
tenth-place finishes were earned by Scott Robbins,
rookie Josh Childs, Kyle Treadwell, Reid Lanpher and
Ryan Deane. Coolidge and Luce won the Super Late Model
heat races.
Calvin Rose, Jr. of Turner prevailed
in the 30-lap headline race for Allen's Coffee Flavored
Brandy Street Stock division competitors. Rose, rookie
of the year in the top support class last season, found
his way by a torrid battle for the top spot between Matt
Dufault, Rick Spaulding and Jonathan Emerson in
impressive fashion.
Dufault, who led a healthy
portion of the early laps, survived the paint-swapping
battles in second position, with 2015 championship
runner-up Zach Emerson of Sabattus making a late charge
into the final podium finishing position. Lisbon's
Spaulding and Kyle Hewins of Leeds filled out the top
five rundown. Jonathan Emerson and Dufault were heat
race winners.
Nicholas Naugle of Dartmouth, Nova
Scotia made his ten-hour ride home a happy one, winning
the 25-lap INEX Legends Cars feature race. Naugle turned
back a tough test from East Parsonsfield veteran Trevor
Sanborn, with 13-year-old Austin Teras grabbing another
trophy with a third-place finish. Todd Libby of West
Baldwin and Poland racer Peter Craig rounded out the top
five
Auburn's Brandon Varney cruised to victory
in the 20-lap main event for entry-level Bandits
division competitors. Varney had veteran frontrunner
Jamie Heath of Waterford in his mirror for most of the
race.
Heath claimed the Bandit division's
runner-up hardware, with Cam Childs of Leeds crossing
the finish line in third position. Matt Mahar of
Buckfield and Oxford's James Record rounded out the top
five. Varney, Childs and Oxford's Charlie Hall won heat
races.
Shane Green of South Paris earned his
first trip to victory lane in the Figure 8 division's
15-lap race. Green led most of the way after last year's
champion, Jon Lizotte, was eliminated in a first-lap
crash with the winner's teammate. Robert Morey of Lisbon
was the runner-up, with newcomer Kyle Kilgore of South
Paris claiming the third-place trophy.
