Expanded “Road To The Oxford 250” Returns For 4th Year in 2017
OXFORD, ME (December 24) – Oxford Plains Speedway owner and Pro All Stars Series (PASS) President Tom Mayberry announced today the continuation of the “Road To The Oxford 250” program in 2017. Celebrating its fourth year in 2017, the groundbreaking “Road To The Oxford 250” concept will expand to give racers across the continent the chance to compete in short track asphalt racing’s biggest event. As mentioned with the announcement of the Speedway 660 event over a month ago, competitors from Canada and the United States will have opportunity to race for guaranteed starting spots, while keeping the focus on the 250 throughout the season.
The 2016 Oxford 250 saw droves of race fans from across North America and over 60 Super Late Models make the annual August trek to Oxford Plains Speedway, making this one of the most successful editions of the venerable race in over a decade. Wayne Helliwell, Jr. of Pelham, NH, a winner of a “Road To The Oxford 250” qualifier in 2016, captured the checkered flag and took home nearly $30,000 for his winning efforts.

Oxford, Maine – Glen Luce of Turner earned a trip to victory lane the hard way, driving from 29th starting position to victory lane Saturday on Pro All Stars Series North Super Late Model Championship Day at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Luce ran afoul of tech inspectors after a heat race and was forced to the consolation rounds, where he charged from the back of the field to finish fifth. He made most of his progress during a 100-plus lap green flag stretch in the remarkably-competitive race.

NAPLES, ME (October 12) – After the grind of another long season, the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North Super Late Models and Modifieds will close out 2016 this Saturday afternoon at Maine’s Oxford Plains Speedway. The PASS Modifieds have an outstanding points battle heading to Oxford Plains with Andy Shaw leading by a slight four points over Ryan Robbins and third place points man Ben Tinker just 19 points behind Shaw.
The battle for the PASS North Super Late Model crown comes down to two former champions, DJ Shaw and Johnny Clark. Shaw leads Clark by 69 points as they come to Oxford Plains for Saturday afternoon’s 150-lap event. Clark, the former six-time series champion, recently captured his first win of the season at White Mountain Motorsports Park. While Shaw has not won since Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in April, his consistency has him on the threshold of a second PASS North title.
“As far as the season goes, I would consider the season successful, but we really wanted more wins,” says Shaw, driver of the Precision JLM/Mulkern Excavating #60. “We race for wins and they just didn’t come this year. We still have a shot at winning our second race this weekend, but you always want more.”

WISCASSET – Across the country, the major discussion on every news station and talk show is the upcoming presidential election. With a little over a month until Americans will head to the polls, the mudslinging and campaigning is in full swing everywhere – everywhere, that is, except Wiscasset Speedway. With several division championships still up for grabs, drivers were as competitive as a presidential race, without all the talking. Sounds like a win-win.
The NAPA Modifieds 30-lap feature began with sparks as Allan Moeller of the #04 and Nick Reno of the #7 were caught up in traffic along the back straightaway. Reno connected with the wall and the track was left under caution one lap in while the track crew removed his car. When the drivers moved finally into lap two, Adam Chadbourne of the #1 had snatched a commanding lead, followed by Moeller and Mark Lucas of the #5. By lap 23, Moeller was close enough to Chadbourne to keep the latter warm with his engine, but the leader continued to use his speed on the straightaway to keep the advantage. Chadbourne achieved his first career win in this division and Moeller took second. By placing third, Lucas claimed his second straight Modifieds Championship.
