White washes Oxford Networks LM field; Childs holds off Karkos in Mini showdown
OXFORD, Maine – Jeff White's total destruction of his Oxford Networks Late Model ride last week was the worst thing that could have happened … for his competition.
One winning streak continued and another ended in accompanying Championship Series feature action.
Mike Short backed up his 100-lap victory in last week's Allen's Coffee Flavored Brandy Strictly Stock main event with a 30-lap triumph on Sun Journal Night.
Short went three-wide to move from fifth to second on lap 10 before taking the top spot away from Kim Tripp on the following circuit.
Nobody was able to challenge Short without the help of a caution down the stretch. Reigning division champion Skip Tripp was second, with B.J. Chapman holding off 2007 champ Tommy Tompkins — making his first start of the season — for third. Jeff Merrill emerged from a tense, five-car battle for fifth.
