Oxford, ME – DJ Shaw and the #60 Precision JLM Racing team started their season off strong two weeks ago with a big win down south in the “Easter Bunny 150” at Hickory Motor Speedway and were able to follow that up with a strong run in the Pro All Stars Series North season opener this past weekend. Shaw fought up front all day and came home with a hard earned third place finish at Oxford Plains Speedway. The race was delayed a day and took the duration of Sunday to run due to constant rain in the area.

The inaugural edition of the Sign Depot Colossal Carnage $7,000 to win, 150 lap Enduro certainly lived up to its name as the event was filled with thrill, chills and four major spills before the fun filled event had the checkers wave on Martin Engerson this past Sunday afternoon at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine.
Billy Childs Jr. and Trevor Sanborn set a blistering pace over the first half of the race before flat tires sent both entries to the garage area for repairs. The carnage was high as several hard crashes took place around the Speedway including four rollovers. Engerson took over the lead about lap 125 and appeared to have crossed the finish line first, but after checking the scorecard, it was found to be out of stock, thus relinquishing the $7,000 payday to runner-up, Mike St. Germain. Richie Turner, Billie Childs Jr., Josh Knoll and Scott Fowler rounded out the top five.

It may have taken Travis Benjamin an extra day, but the wait was worth it as he scored a popular win in the season opening Ripley and Ftcher Ford PASS 150 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine on Sunday afternoon. The race was actually scheduled to take place on Saturday, but due to steady rains the event was postponed until Sunday. The race was even in doubt for Sunday, as the showers persisted until late morning.

DJ Shaw, Joey Doiron and Trevor Sanborn claimed wins in the highly competitive qualifying rounds.

Kyle Treadwell of Auburn, Maine will be racing in the Pro Late Model Series at Oxford Plains Speedway this race season. Over the winter months Kyle, like most race car drivers has kept busy, “The off season has been pretty wild so far. It started off by building a wildcat for Beech Ridge, and midway through the build we got the idea to make the jump to Pro Late Models. My car owner presented the money and we purchased a ACT car to convert over. And of course, just as big of news, I won the light weight feature of the DT100. That event is absolutely amazing. The dedication and hard work Dave Thomas and his team have put in is unbelievable. The event this year was able to raise just over $30,000 for Make-A-Wish. The list of drivers Dave has been able to get to compete is great, a lot of talent from 10+ states. We are all in equally prepared karts so it’s all bragging rights.”
