Oliver, Grover win first OPS features on caution-free Acceleration Series card
OXFORD, Maine – The cars and even the technology have changed since Jim Davis Jr. last competed in the Acceleration Series at Oxford Plains Speedway. Getting to victory lane in the Chimney Tech Outlaw division where Davis was a champion six years ago still isn't a problem.
Dan Brown, Zach Bowie and Addison Bowie chased Davis and Burgess across the line in the hotly contested Outlaw 'B' feature.
Outlaw 'A' produced the closest finish of the night when Jim Drake and rookie Ryan Robbins ran side-by-side through the entire final lap, bumping in the fourth turn before Drake crossed the line first.
