Taylor Makes Long Awaited Return to OPS Victory Lane

Taylor Makes Long Awaited Return to OPS Victory Lane

OXFORD, Maine – The Oxford Plains Championship Series returned to action for the first time since the TD Bank 250, and the familiar names found their way to victory lane.

The Call of the Wild RV Center Sport Trucks represented the first feature of the night. Jeff Schmidt jumped out to an early lead in the ten lap event, but it was clearly evident that Ryan Farrar had the fastest truck on the track. Farrar continued to chase down Schmidt, lap after lap, using the high groove to gain speed. Farrar reached the Schmidt’s rear bumper, who tried to slide his truck up a racing groove coming out of turn four to block Farrar’s lane. However, the move backfired and Farrar simply ducked underneath, took the lead, and ran away with the win. Farrar struggled in Wednesday’s Acceleration Series event but made the right move in fine tuning the handling on his machine for Saturday’s race. Schmidt, ever the picture of consistency, crossed the line second, and Corey Williams rebounded to finish third after failing to even take the green flag on Wednesday. Duane Booth and John Reynolds rounded out the top five.
