Oxford, Maine - Gary Smith of Bangor drove to
victory lane after charging past a few early race
leaders to claim a career-first Oxford Plains Speedway
Super Late Model win, topping the Budweiser Championship
Series stock car racing card on MacDonald Motors of
Bridgton night at Oxford Plains Speedway on Saturday.
Rookie Josh Childs of Oxford led a healthy portion
of the Super Late Model 50-lapper's early stages before
yielding to Hebron's Alan Wilson, who set the pace
through the event's middle stages. Anson's Scott Moore
took the point away from Wilson, but there was no
stopping Smith and his unclehenrys.com 75, and when the
checkered flag waved Smith was in the spotlight for the
first time at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Adam
Polvinen of Auburn was closest to the winner under the
checkered flag, with the previous week's Super Late
Model winner, Scott Robbins of Dixfield, grabbing a
third consecutive trophy. Moore, running better than
ever recently at OPS, and Wilson filled out the top
five.
Heat races were won by rookie Childs and
Buckfield's Timmy Brackett, the division's reigning
champion and current points leader, who finished seventh
in the 50-lap main event behind Shawn Martin of Turner.
Smith became the ninth different winner in nine races
contested thus far for the ultra-competitive Super Late
Model class at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Matt
Dufault of Turner nailed down his second victory of the
year in the wildly-competitive, unusually-aggressive
30-lap main event for Allen's Coffee Flavored Brandy
Street Stocks. After starting well back in the field,
Dufault was about to make a three-wide move for the lead
stick when he got helped out of contention.
Restarting at the back once again, Dufault steered the
Rodney Williams 61 around the competition for a second
time to join points leader Calvin Rose, Jr. of Turner as
the only multi-race winners thus far this year. West
Poland's David Whittier settled for runner-up honors
after leading most of the race. Zach Emerson of Sabattus
claimed yet another third-place trophy. Andrew Breton of
Sabattus and the battered car of Rose rounded out the
top five. Whittier and Dufault won the heat races.
Josh Knoll of Mechanic Falls prevailed, capitalizing
upon his enduro racing experience to claim the race lead
and eventual victory in MacDonald Motors of Bridgton
Bandits main event action. Knoll worked traffic
flawlessly as the race leaders encountered thick lapped
traffic in the closing laps of the event to claim the
impressive victory.
Bandits point leader Jamie
Heath of Waterford charged from the back of the pack and
earned runner-up honors as the checkered flag waved.
Turner's Tyler Green led most of the race before
crossing the finish line in third position. Michael
McKinney of Berlin, NH and Waterford's Bill Grover
rounded out the top five. Brandon Varney of Auburn and
Heath earned heat race victories.
Legendary
Figure 8 racer David Smith of South Paris raced to his
first victory in a long time, outgunning reigning
division champion and Maine Hall of Famer Jon Lizotte in
an entertaining 15-lapper for the Ariens/Gravely/Dave's
Small Engine class. Eric Hodgkins was third after
winning the previous event. Kyle Kilgore of South Paris
and Lisbon's Robert Morey filled out the top five.
Duane Skofield of Plaistow, New Hampshire took the
lead away from his nephew, reigning champion Eric
Skofield from the same town, en route to victory lane in
a 20-lap race for the North East Classic Lites. Sam
Gilman of Sandown, New Hamphshire nailed down a
third-place finish at his favorite racetrack. Granite
Staters Dan Poliquin and Tom Harton filled out the top
five.
Oxford Plains Speedway is a busy place for
the next few days as the Nation prepares to celebrate
Independence Day. The Budweiser Championship Series
divisions see action on Saturday night, July 2 for
Applebees Night, with fireworks and the Super Late
Model-topped Budweiser Championship Series card. On
Sunday, July 3 a Colossal Carnage 100-lap endure and a
PASS non-winners race top a racing program also
highlighted by the Nort East Street Stock Tour. For more
