Oxford Plains Speedway Race Preview
THE STORY
ARUNDEL, Maine – Trevor Sanborn of Parsonsfield, Maine, pulls double duty again this weekend with the PASS North Series 150 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine, on Sunday, June 23. Sanborn will drive the Stilphen Racing No. 70 Pave-Tek Chevrolet – the same team he usually serves as crew chief for in weekly competition. Sanborn, who did not qualify for the PASS North season opener at Oxford in April while driving for another team, finished fifth in a 40-lap Pro Late Model feature last weekend with the No. 70 and is hoping to take what he learned about the car’s performance in that event and turn it into a strong run at Oxford against the tour’s full-blown Super Late Model teams.

NAPLES, ME (June 20) – To say competitors in the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North Super Late Model division are ready to race again could certainly qualify as an understatement. It has been over a month since Patrick Laperle won the Frameco 150 at Autodrome Chaudiere in Quebec thanks to rain outs at both White Mountain Motorsports Park and Speedway 660. With that being said, PASS officials decided to add an event for this Sunday at Maine’s Oxford Plains Speedway to offset those cancellations. The Oxford event will complete a busy weekend along the Atlantic Seaboard that begins with the PASS South Super Late Models racing the day before at Southern National Motorsports Park in North Carolina.
