OXFORD, Maine – Jason Black limped across the finish line Friday night on a flat right front tire to win the 75-lap Unicel Motor Mayhem full-size Enduro, completing a sweep of the two events at Oxford Plains Speedway this season.
Black took the lead on lap 8 and eventually lapped the remainder of the field, a development that proved necessary when the telltale sparks shooting from the side of his ride worsened as the white flag appeared.

COLBY AND MCCOLLET ARE BIG WINNERS SATURDAY NIGHT AT WISCASSET
Saturday night at Wiscasset Raceway Chuck Colby and Pete McCollet each picked up their third victory of 2008 in their respective divisions. In doing so, they helped put in two of the most exciting races of the season at "Maine's Center of Speed". Colby ran door to door with Bangor's Gary Smith for the final nine laps of the 50 lap feature for the Clark's Car Crushing Prostocks and the pair put on a show for the fans. Smith started from the pole position and held the early lead over Jeff Burgess through the first 19 laps until a flat tire and bad right front wheel bearing would send Burgess into the tire wall in turn two. Charlie Colby (Chuck's father) would move up to the 2nd position for the restart. The next five laps Smith and Colby would trade the lead back and forth while Chuck Colby moved up to third from his 8th starting position. The next caution wouldn't come out until lap 42 when Charlie Colby would loose his hold on the race track coming out of turn four and go spinning down the front stretch to the infield. The lap 42 restart would bring the younger Colby up to challenge Smith on the outside.
