TJ BRACKETT FIRST
2014 REPEAT WINNER IN PRO LATE MODELS |
Oxford, Maine – Reigning
Budweiser Pro Late Model champion TJ Brackett of
Buckfield became the first repeat main event winner of
the season in the top class of Oxford Championship
Series competition, scoring in the 50-lap headlining
event Saturday night at Oxford Plains Speedway, .
“It’s been a pretty cool week,” the winner said from
victory lane. “First, winning with Kyle Busch at
Chaudiere (Quebec, in PASS Super Late Model competition)
and now this. Of course, I have to thank Seth Holbrook
and the guys in the pits.”
Brackett and Holbrook,
his main man twisting the wrenches, work with the NASCAR
star whenever he races in this region. For Brackett it
was also a 180-degree turn from the previous week at
OPS, where he was sent to the rear of the lineup with
three laps to go after being involved in an altercation
that saw the leader of the race spinning.
Brackett started 11th in the 50-lap finale and
methodically worked his way into contention until he
went by Poland’s Tommy Ricker late in the race to lead
until the checkered flag waved. Veteran racer Donnie
Wentworth of Otisfield had a strong run, finishing
second after spending a healthy portion of the event in
the outside groove. 14-year-old Gunnar Rowe of Turner
was the third-place finisher.
Championship leader
Shawn Martin of Turner drove from 16th on the starting
grid to finish in fourth position, with Ricker rounding
out the top-five. Quinney Welch led several laps before
fading to a sixth-place finish, with Alan Wilson of
Hebron, Tim Brackett of Buckfield, Jeremy Davis of
Tamworth, New Hampshire and Buckfield’s Vanna Brackett
rounding out the top-ten. Rowe and Mark Lundblad of
Conway, New Hampshire were heat race winners. Lundblad
led the first 20 laps of the main event before retirting
from the event with mechanical woes.
Evan
Armington of Lovell took the lead from New Gloucester’s
Ron Henry, then held off a late challenge by Newburgh’s
Scott Alexander to score victory in a special, 40-lap
feature race for the visiting Pro All Stars Series Mods.
“This is one of those nights where everything went
right,” the young, third-generation racer said in
victory lane. Armington also thanked a kid who gave him
a lucky rabbit’s foot-shaped cookie he took along for
the ride.
Alexander, a serious contender for the
PASS Mods championship, closed quickly once in second
position, but could not catch Armington. Andy Shaw of
Center Conway, New Hampshire was third across the line,
with the top-five rounded out by Mark Lucas of Harpswell
and Livermore’s Scott McDaniel. Armington and Ryan
Robbins of Dixfield scored heat race victories.
Josh Childs of Oxford emerged unscathed from a wild,
30-lap main event for the Allen’s Coffee-Flavored Brandy
Street Stock division, scoring the main event victory
and claiming the unofficial lead in the championship
points standings as well. Childs dedicated the win to
his aunt and uncle, Linda and Guy, who recently lost
their home in a devastating fire. Childs entered the
night well behind Waterford’s Spencer Morse, the
previous week’s winner, but Morse met misfortune quickly
in this race, sliding down the frontstretch on his roof
on the first lap. Morse returned to the event with his
battered racecar, but failed to finish after another
altercation.
Childs got to the front of the pack
quickly, then outran Rick Spaulding of Lisbon to the
checkered flag. Zach Emerson of Sabattus crossed the
line in third position, with the top-five filled out by
Leeds racers Ryan and Kurt Hewins. Both Hewins raced
from the back of the pack on a mid-race restart after
being involved in the second Morse incident. Feature
race winner Childs and Ryan Hewins were heat race
winners.
“It was actually going pretty good
tonight,” said Troy Jordan of Turner after cruising into
victory lane following the 25-lap feature race for
Ripley & Fletcher Ford Outlaw Sportsman competitors.
Mike Haynes of Livermore Falls was clearly the best of
the rest on this night, with Steve Moon of Auburn
getting all that he could out of his machine to earn the
final podium finishing position. Gerry Freve of
Buckfield ended up in fourth position, followed by Dale
Lawrence. Jordan and Todd Bisbee of South Paris were
heat race victors.
Troy Smith, in just his
third-ever race, claimed victory in the 20-lap main
event for the entry-level Bandito division. Smith
outgunned Derek Cairns on a late-race restart after
running with the leaders throughout the race. Cairns
held off the previous week’s winner, Shawn Hinkley, for
runner-up honors. Points leader Dan Wade and early race
leader Travis Verrill rounded out the top five. Smith
and James Record won heat races.
Oxford
Championship Series competition resumes Friday night,
August 15, for one week only before returning to a
Saturday night schedule, to accommodate next weekend’s
O’Reilly Auto Parts Monster Truck Throwdowns on Saturday
and Sunday. |
