Buddy Poole wins Wildcat 50 lap special at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway

Randall set the pace until Lyman McKeage took over on lap 6 leading to the caution flag that waved on the 11th circuit. Randall went back to the point on the restart and stayed there thru lap 19 when the caution again appeared.

, Maine – Tommy “Gun” Tompkins has lost a championship no thanks to one bad week at the technical inspection shack. Not much chance, then, that you’ll catch the defending Allen’s Coffee Flavored Brandy Strictly Stock king giving back the checkered flag from his first start of the season at Oxford Plains Speedway after Mike Short’s post-race disqualification Saturday night.
Tompkins isn’t chasing points this season. He spent most of his overdue arrival chasing Short, who appeared to set sail to his second straight victory after overtaking Larry Emerson in traffic on lap 56.
“My little boy was crying all morning because he couldn’t be here,” said Tompkins. “So I’ll take this home to him. He’ll be happy with that.”
Emotions ran high in victory lane on a toasty Saturday night.
