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.

Jul 7, 2008 | Unity Raceway
The fireworks at the New Spirit of Unity Raceway wasn't the only thing lighting up the sky. The Men's Peanut division 30 lap feature was just one of the night's outstanding events. Newcomer Zach Audet and Ryan Ripley drove off to an early lead. This two would go door to door until Ripley would take the lead. Derek Cook and Tim Robinson are gaining on the leaders from the back of the pack. These two would catch Ripley and use the outside groove to pass for the lead. Cook would maintain a slight lead over Robinson. Robinson would try everything he could to get around Cook. Cook's machine developed a smoking problem from the right front tire shortly after the half way mark. This problem would remain throughout the rest of the race. The smoking didn't slow the 88 down. Cook would cross the line first, only to have the win taken away in post race inspection. The win would go to the 62 of Tim Robinson. Ryan Ripley would take home the second place trophy. In his first Unity Raceway appearance, Zach Audet would take third. Kyle Gallant and Chris Williams would finish out the top five.
