SEASON SCHEDULE - Oxford Plains Speedway

Oxford, ME - Josh Knoll of Mechanic Falls claimed victory in the 25-lap Enduro race, highlighting the special Allen's Coffee Flavored Brandy Motor Mayhem racing card Saturday night at Oxford Plains Speedway.

Knoll raced with the leaders throughout the event and crossed under the checkered flag with an apparent third-place finish, but both drivers finishing ahead of him ran afoul of technical inspectors after the race to hand him the victory.

Mike St. Germain of Auburn ended up with a second-place finish, with Kurt Whiting of Ossipee, New Hampshire third in the rundown. Billy McIntyre of Windham and Brunswick's William Barker rounded out the top five.

Shaun Hinkley of Oxford led wire-to-wire in what was a hotly-contested race for supremacy in the 20-lap main event for MacDonald Motors Runnin' Rebel division competitors.

Matthew Mahar of Buckfield made it interesting before settling for runner-up laurels. Calvin Rose, Jr. of Turner, Cam Childs of Leeds and current points leader Nathan Dubuc of Lewiston rounded out the top five.

Michael Haynes of Livermore Falls cruised to victory in the 20-lapper for Outlaw division racers. Turner's Matt Dufault put on a show, passing most of the field to finish in second position. Points leader Steve Moon of Gray was third, with the top five filled out by Andy King of Portland and Casco's George Haskell.

Rick Thompson of Naples scored an impressive victory in the Cruisers class. Enduro winner Knoll was the best of the rest, with John Childs of Leeds earning third-place hardware. Mikel Martin of Auburn and Poland's Dale Clark, Jr. completed the top-five rundown.
