Scarborough, Maine- Bub Bilodeau began his NASCAR Whelan All American Series title defense in the Pro Series division with a win on Saturday night at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. Over the Winter, Bilodeau lost his chief rival in Bobby Babb who has stepped away from the seat to help his son as he takes over the #4 Pro Series car. Enter Maine racing legend Mike Rowe to fill that void and after the 40 lap feature race Saturday night the Bilodeau-Rowe rivalry has been rekindled. Rowe started on the pole with Aaron Ricker to his outside and Bilodeau on his rear bumper in third. Rowe shot to the lead with Ricker and Bilodeau settling in behind. Bilodeau tried to move around Ricker on lap 6 but Ricker held off the challenge for the time being.

Chapman, Marshall cop first-ever triumphs
OXFORD, Maine – Less than three months after unexpectedly losing the driving force behind his racing career, four-time Oxford Networks Late Model champion Travis Adams paid an emotional visit to Oxford Plains Speedway on Saturday night.
Adams out-dueled fellow champions Tim Brackett, Ricky Rolfe and Shawn Martin and held off impressive second-year Late Model campaigner Shawn Knight for the 40-lap win in the Championship Series season-opener.
The three-time defending division champ used the outside lane to grab the lead for the final time on lap 29. When Brackett and Rolfe tangled on the same circuit, Adams' victory was all but sealed.

LATE MODEL ROOKIE TAKES 95 FEATURE EVENT
He had never driven a Late Model race car until a Friday practice session, but Hermon’s Mike Hopkins is evidently a quick learner as he won his first outing in the new division on Sunday by winning the qualifier, then led the field from start to finish in the feature event. The event went smoothly, with only a couple of single car incidents causing the yellow flag to fly until a lap 17 melee on the front stretch scattered the field. Winterport’s Joey Doyon and Liberty’s Josh St.Clair, who were running second and third, came together while racing for position and spun in front of the field.
