SHAWN MARTIN WINS WILD ONE AT OXFORD PLAINS SPEEDWAY
The glory days returned to Oxford Plains Speedway this past weekend as the track returned to Saturday night racing after trying Friday nights for the past couple of seasons. Winners on Whited RV night included Shawn Martin, Spencer Morse, Guy Childs Sr. Joe Pastore and Shawn Hinkley.
Point leader Shawn Martin survived all challenges, and took advantage of other driver’s bad luck to lay claim to the Budweiser Pro Late Model checkered flag. Race long leader Mark Lundblad Jr., and TJ Brackett tangled sending Brackett to the rear, and Lundblad to the pits hooked to a wrecker. Martin inherited the lead with four laps to go and held off Joe Pastore, whom started dead last in the 24th position for the win. Following the lead pair were Tim Brackett, Scott Moore and Kyle Treadwell. Sixth through tenth positions included Jeremy Davis, Alan Wilson, Gary Norris, Tommy Ricker, and Scott McDaniel. Heat checkers flew for Lundblad, Donnie Wentworth and Billy Childs Jr.

DEANNA BISBEE COLLECTS THIRD OAS WIN AT OXFORD
Denna Bisbee closed in on point leader Chris Burgess after claiming her third Oxford Acceleration Series victory of the season on Whited RV night at Oxford Plains Speedway this past Wednesday evening. Other winners included Jamie Heath, Shelby Lawrence, Brian Darling and Will Dunphy.
The Outlaw 25 lap main event was a tangled web as tight racing throughout the pack kept the finish in doubt until the checkers flew. Early leader Joe Morey launched and engine in front of the field with ten laps remaining, opening the door for Bisbee and Bryce Mains to battle to the finish. Mains got to the outside with three laps remaining, but was unable to complete the pass allowing Bisbee to take the popular win. Mains, Chris Burgess, John White Jr., and Brady Romano completed the top five. Heat wins went to Morey and Josh Toothaker. Burgess now leads Bisbee by a mere five points and he holds a nineteen point edge over Bryce Mains sitting in the third spot.

Oxford, ME – Joey Doiron and the #73 Wild Willy’s Burgers/JBJ Machine team were fresh of a win in the last Pro All Stars Series event at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway going into their biggest race of the season. The team had another strong outing in the biggest short track race in the country, the Oxford 250. Doiron lead over 70 laps early on, and was in contention for the win late in the race when with ten laps to go, he suffered an engine issue that he was forced to ride out with, finishing the 250 lap race in 11th place.
“It’s really disappointing to have it finish that way for us,” Doiron said after the race, “We got caught behind a little bit under the long green flag run, but we played the right strategy and I think we would have been on the podium again this year, but it just wasn’t meant to be. I’m still really proud of my team, they did a great job all weekend.”
