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.
