Oxford Plains Speedway Race Preview
THE STORY
GORHAM, Maine – Dan McKeage of Gorham, Maine, returns to the PASS Sportsman Series for the PASS Sportsman 75 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine, on Friday, July 19. McKeage has one win this season in Sportsman competition with the Naughty 40 Racing No. 40 Top Gun Construction Chevrolet – in the season opener at his home track of Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine – and sits second in the series standings through the first three races of the season. He finished third in the most recent race held at Oxford Plains in May, and he believes the key to winning the series championship hinges on being able to perform on the flat, .375-mile oval.

Oxford, ME – DJ Shaw and the #60 Precision JLM team made their way back to Oxford Plains Speedway this past weekend for the fifth event of the Pro All Stars Series North season. The team was looking to improve from their previous race at Oxford where they struggled throughout the day with a tight racecar, but salvaged a sixth place effort. This time around, the team hit the setup right and had one of their best performances of the season on the PASS North Series.
Starting from the 12th position in the 150 lap event, Shaw worked his way into the top ten early, but multiple cautions in the race’s early laps stalled his progress before he was able to make his way through the field. On the races first long green flag run, that’s just what he did. Making the outside groove work to his advantage, Shaw went from ninth at the start of the run, to the lead on lap 62 after dueling with Mike Rowe. Shaw opened his lead up to over a straightaway over the field before the field was slowed by a caution flag with 46 laps to go.

Oxford, ME – Joey Doiron and the #73 Wild Willy’s Burgers/JBJ Machine team rolled into Oxford Plains Speedway for the fifth event of the Pro All Stars Series North season with the points lead and on a string of four straight top five finishes. Starting the day in the 23rd position after a rear end issue in the heat race while leading, Doiron was able to make his way through the field on one of the hardest tracks to pass on. At the conclusion of the race, the team crossed the finish line in fifth place.
“Having the rear end issue in the heat races was a setback for us but I’m proud of the team for working hard to bounce back from that issue,” Doiron explained after the race, “I think we could’ve gotten a little more there at the end but we had used our stuff up just getting to the front and the late restarts didn’t go well for us either.”

NAPLES, ME (July 9) – After nearly two months off due to rainouts, the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North Super Late Models were finally able to get back on track during the Fourth Of July weekend holiday at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. Now, focus shifts to two big weekends of racing at Maine’s legendary Oxford Plains Speedway. This Friday night, the PASS North Super Late Models hit the track at Oxford for race number 5 of the 2013 season. In addition to being a make-up race for the rained out events at White Mountain Motorsports Park and Speedway 660, this weekend’s 150 lapper will serve as a major tune up for the 40th Annual TD Bank 250 to be held at Oxford Plains Speedway just over a week from now.
PASS North teams will not only be trying to focus on Friday’s nights race and the implications it holds towards this year’s championship battle, but will also start formulating strategies for the TD Bank 250. Beech Ridge winner Cassius Clark comes to Oxford as the only two-time PASS North winner in 2013 and knows a good run on Friday night can set a team up as the favorite heading to next weekend’s $25,000 to win TD Bank 250.
