Sessions, Mooney win thrillers; Adams extends
win streak to three in last TD Banknorth 250 tuneup
OXFORD, Maine – Hard to imagine the hottest late model driver in New England extending his winning streak to three heading into the biggest race of the year and getting upstaged.
Travis Adams had plenty of competition from Sumner Sessions and Don Mooney, though, for the spotlight and the headlines in one of the wildest Saturday nights imaginable at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Adams continued his recent custom of roaring up the outside and leaving the competition looking at a blur through their windshields. The reigning Oxford Networks Late Model champion won his third straight 40-lap feature and fifth of the season in 10 tries, matching his full-season win total of 2006.
It's a phenomenal achievement headed into what is essentially the all-star break for New England late models, but for sheer excitement, Adams' win over Don Wentworth and Brad Hammond wasn't even close to the top rung on Hilltop Pools & Spas Night.
