Staples puts another next-generation face in JARRacing Go Kart victory lane at OPS

OXFORD, Maine – It's been a season of first-time and second-generation winners in the JARRacing Photography Go Kart Series at Oxford Plains Speedway.

Chris Staples Jr. continued that summer-long trend with a wire-to-wire victory Friday evening, his first in the Blue Plate class.
The karts ended a four-week layoff due to weather, a holiday and other regularly scheduled speedway events. That lull didn't break the momentum of Kyle Mooney, who backed up his breakthrough win last time out with another triumph in Box Stock.
Spencer Morse (Gold Plate), Stephen Beattie (Star Champ), Jeff Lillibridge (Unrestricted) and Zachary Rich (Purple Plate) also prevailed in a clean and competitive program.
