Oxford, Maine – Wayne Helliwell, Jr. of Dover, New Hampshire raced to a convincing win aboard the Bruce Bernhardt Ford to earn a career-first victory at Oxford Plains Speedway in Pro All Stars Series Super Late Model competition on Sunday evening.
Helliwell’s triumph earned an immediate financial reward of $2000, but more importantly, it nails down a coveted guaranteed spot in the rich, 43rd Annual HP Hood Oxford 250 on August 28 if he otherwise fails to earn a spot in all available qualifying races.
Adam Polvinen of Auburn paced the early stages of the 100-lapper after outgunning Boca Raton, Florida’s Dalton Sargeant early on. Helliwell made steady progress from his 12th starting position, earned by gaining six spots in his heat race, and once in front he had no match on this night.

NAPLES, ME (June 30) – With the 43rd Annual HP Hood Oxford 250 less than two months away and with over 40 cars already entered, racers from across the continent are starting to focus their efforts toward one of short track racing’s biggest events. This weekend a huge opportunity will be presented to Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Super Late Model racers on the “Road To The Oxford 250.” On Sunday, a special 100 lap event for PASS non-winners and drivers who have competed at Oxford Plains Speedway over the last five years will award the top three finishers a guaranteed provisional for this year’s HP Hood Oxford 250.
Florida’s Dalton Sargeant has made quite an impression since first beginning his stock car racing career in PASS South back in 2014. Since then, he has won a K&N Pro Series race at Irwindale Speedway in California and been among the front runners everywhere he has competed. While a PASS win has escaped him, he challenged for the win recently at Anderson Motor Speedway and finished third in the Over The Moutain 150 at Hickory Motor Speedway. With over 70 cars expected to try and make the field for the HP Hood Oxford 250, the opportunity to get locked into one of short track racing’s most elite starting lineups is not lost on Sargeant.
