THIRD SUPER LATE MODEL
WIN THIS SEASON FOR SHAWN KNIGHT AT OPS
South Paris racer
establishes self as local favorite
for August 30th
AIM Recycling USA Oxford 250 |
Oxford, Maine – Shawn Knight of South Paris won
his third Budweiser Oxford Championship Series Super
Late Model race of the season Saturday night, with a
dominant late-race performance at Oxford Plains
Speedway.
It was Knight’s third victory in just
seven attempts this season, clearly establishing the
South Paris racer as the chief hope for victory in the
August 30 AIM Recycling USA Oxford 250 among weekly
Budweiser Championship Series racers.
Knight took
command just past the halfway point from Turner teenager
Gunnar Rowe, who built an healthy lead as Knight worked
his way through the pack. A caution flag and restart put
Knight alongside, and the veteran was just hooked up,
and he drove away. Rowe held on for an impressive
second-place finish.
Mark Lundblad, Jr. of
Conway, New Hampshire posted a career-best third-place
Super Late Model finish, driving around several
competitive racing machines en route to his first trophy
in the top class at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Buckfield’s Vanna Brackett and Wayne Helliwell, Jr. of
Dover, New Hampshire rounded out the top five. Rowe and
current championship points leader Timmy Brackett of
Buckfield won the Super Late Model heat races.
Rookie Calvin Rose, Jr. of Turner came out on top after
a wild, caution-filled 30-lap feature race for the
Allen’s Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stock division. It
was the first win in the class for the former Mini Stock
hotshoe.
Rose’s door to victory lane was opened
up when the three cars in front of him got together on a
restart late in the race. Rose then outran the previous
week’s winner, David Whittier of Poland, to the
checkered flag.
Joining Rose and Whittier on the
podium was Rick Spaulding of Lisbon, one of the three
drivers in front of the eventual winner on the fateful
restart. Jonathan Emerson of Sabattus and Oxford’s Josh
Childs rounded out the top five. Peter Huston of Lisbon
Falls and Zach Emerson of Sabattus scored heat race wins
in the Street Stock division.
Scott Alexander of
Newburgh led flag-to-flag in the 25-lap Modified main
event. The previous week’s winner, Evan Armington of
Lovell, pulled alongside the eventual winner at one
point, but Alexander maintained his advantage until the
checkered flag waved.
Scott Robbins of Dixfield
stayed atop the OPS Mods championship standings with a
third-place finish. Ryan Phillips of Buxton and
Windham’s Jimmy Emerson rounded out the top five.
Alexander also won the heat race.
Hall of Famer
Jon Lizotte prevailed once again in Wood Pellet
Warehouse Figure 8 division action. Lizotte took the
lead from Carthage racer Tommy Tompkins and led Tompkins
to the checkered flag. Auburn’s Mike St. Germain claimed
the third-place trophy.
Cam Childs of Leeds
charged through the field in short order, then held off
Bandits points leader Shaun Hinkley of Oxford to score
yet another victory in his 20-lap finale. Oxford’s Jacob
Hall nailed down the final trophy spot in the
entry-level main event. Adam O’Neil of Lewiston and
Hinkley won the heat races for the Bandits class.
