PASS North Series: Mulkern Racing
Oxford Plains Speedway Race Report
OXFORD, Maine – Bobby Timmons III of Windham, Maine, posted his best career PASS North Series result when he finished fifth in the Ripley & Fletcher Ford 150 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine. Timmons led a two-car Mulkern Racing effort, qualifying 11th in the 34-car field and running inside the Top-5 throughout the second half of the event in the No. 48 Southern Maine Chrysler Dodge Jeep/Timmons Machine Dodge. Following an eighth-place finish at Oxford Plains last October, Timmons now has Top-10 finishes in each of his only two career PASS North Series starts. It looked like the team would have more than one car in the Top-5 at the checkered flag, but Scott Mulkern of Falmouth, Maine, blew a right front tire while running fourth just 10 laps from the finish.

Center Conway, NH – The Pro All Stars Series North season opener is this weekend at Oxford Plains Speedway. After what seemed to be a never ending offseason for some, DJ Shaw and the Precision JLM Racing team have been hard at work on and off the track. After a couple of top ten finishes in the PASS National series, including a runner up finish in the Easter Bunny 150 two weeks ago, the crew is more prepared than ever for a good start to the season at Oxford Plains Speedway.
While Shaw hasn’t raced in a few weeks, he and his father, Dale Shaw, built and crewed on the car that Jimmy Hebert drove to the win in the Governor’s Cup 150 at Lee USA Speedway this past weekend, getting the sophomore driver his first win in the American Canadian Tour, all behind the wheel of a brand new Dale Shaw Racecar.

Berwick, ME – After a long offseason in the northeast, Joey Doiron and #73 Wild Willy’s Burgers/JBJ Machine racing team are ready to get the northern season started this weekend at Oxford Plains Speedway. The Pro All Stars Series North season opening “Ripley and Fletcher Ford 150” is this Sunday, April 21st. After a few great runs to start the season in the PASS National series, including a win to open the season at Auburndale Speedway, Joey Doiron is hoping to get another win to start the year off right this weekend.
“We won the season opener at Beech Ridge last year and that gave us a boost on the rest of the season,” Doiron said of his strong start just a year ago, “looking to Oxford we know we can do the same and get us another strong start.”
The last time the series was at Oxford Plains Speedway was last October for the season finale, and after making several big gains on the car, Doiron ended the night with a top ten finish with a car that he thought could have contended for a podium finish.
