Farrington Scores First
Super Late Model
Win |
Oxford, Maine -- Dave Farrington, Jr. of Jay
celebrated his first-ever Oxford Plains Speedway Super
Late Model victory Saturday night, topping the Budweiser
Championship Series card at the historic Route 26 oval
track.
A former champion and winner at Beech
Ridge Motor Speedway, Farrington was no stranger to
success on the grounds at OPS, where he earned dozens of
race wins and a few championships on the smaller,
backstretch karting track. Farrington had planned to
race in the PASS Super Late Model race that was
cancelled due to a dismal weather forecast in New
Brunswick, but forecasted rain cut travel expenses, and
paid off nicely.
TJ Brackett of Buckfield led
early in the race, battling Hebron's Adam Polvinen up
front, but both were eliminated from competition when a
slower, lapped car made an unpredictable move in front
of them while battling side-by-side. Livermore's Scott
McDaniel led a healthy chunk of the 50-lapper before
Farrington, who started back in 13th position, got by
and cruised to victory lane.
Four-time and
defending track champion Timmy Brackett of Buckfield
earned a season-best, second-place finish. Turner's Glen
Luce, who like Farrington would have been PASS racing
had weather cooperated, finished third in the team's
backup OPS car.
McDaniel followed up a
career-best runner-up finish in the top weekly class
last Saturday with a fourth-place finish. Scott Robbins
of Dixfield raced his way into the top five from
fifteenth starting position. Polvinen, TJ Brackett and
Jeremie Whorff of West Bath won 12-lap heat races in the
Super Late Model class.
Ben Tinker of New
Gloucester extended his lead atop the PASS Mods
standings with another convincing win in the 40-lap
race. Jariet Harrison of Freeport led the first 19 laps
before Tinker took command and romped to an impressive
victory over Mike Carignan of Lebanon.
In victory
lane, third-place finisher Matty Sanborn of Windham
thanked an unnamed weapon for clearing the way to a
trophy with the resultant shrapnel. Scott Alexander of
Glenburn was burned once en route to a fourth-place
finish in front of Mark Lundblad, Jr. of Conway, New
Hampshire. Devin Curit of Saco and Bruce Helmuth of
Wales won 10-lap heat races for PASS Mods.
Billy
Childs, Jr. of Leeds extended his slim points lead in
the Allen's Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stock class
with a convincing victory. The previous week's winner,
David Whittier of West Poland, capitalized upon some
late-race racing luck to claim runner-up honors.
Norway's Jordan Russell earned a career-best,
third-place finish in the 30-lap race. Matt Dufault of
Turner earned a fourth-place finish the hard way, with
Tyler King of Livermore rounding out the top five.
Oxford's Kim Tripp and King won 10-lap heat races.
Reigning Bandits division champion Jamie Heath of
Waterford kept the hammer down and blasted past four
frontrunners encountering difficulties in lapped traffic
to claim an impressive victory in the 20-lap main event.
Brandon Varney, the points leader entering the race, led
most of the way until Heath took command, but did not
finish after a second altercation with errant, slower
traffic.
Oxford's Jake Hall was closest to Heath
under the checkered flag, just ahead of former Bandits
track champion Shaun Hinkley of Oxford. Chris Ouellette
of Milan, New Hampshire crossed the finish line in
fourth position, followed by the previous week's
official winner, Eric Stoddard of South Paris. Varney
and Heath won 10-lap heat races for the Bandits.
Tommy Tompkins of Carthage nailed down his third win of
the season in an entertaining, 15-lap Figure 8 race.
Kyle Kilgore of South Paris was the runner-up for the
third straight week. Lisbon's Dale Lawrence matched his
previous-best third-place Figure 8 finish. Greg Durgin
of South Paris led the arce for a few laps and claimed a
fourth-place finish in front of Lisbon's Robert Morey.
