OXFORD, Maine – Patrick Laperle of St. Denis, Quebec, dominated the final 101 laps to capture the New England Dodge Dealers 150 American-Canadian Tour event Saturday at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Laperle took the lead from Glen Luce on lap 50 and survived a brief battle with ACT rookie Nick Sweet after the third and final restart of the race on lap 144.
The result represented the second ACT win at Oxford for Laperle and career-best finishes on the tour for runner-up Sweet and third-place Luce.

By running fourth in the Oxford Networks Late Model 40-lap feature, Travis Adams won his third consecutive crown and fourth of his career.

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.

OXFORD, Maine – Any spectators heading for the exits early in hopes of beating the traffic Saturday night should learn a valuable lesson: Never walk out on an Allen's Coffee Flavored Brandy Mini Stock feature at Oxford Plains Speedway while Justin Karkos is still involved.
Karkos rallied from the rear of the field three times, regaining a lost lap on one occasion, to pocket an improbable victory in the Time Warner Cable/99.9 The Wolf 100.

OXFORD, Maine – Tommy Tompkins elected not to defend his championship in the Allen's Coffee Flavored Brandy Strictly Stock division.
The unofficial title as reigning king of long-distance races in the class remains his, however.
Tompkins dominated the second half of the Allen's Coffee Flavored Brandy 100 at Oxford Plains Speedway on Saturday night, outlasting B.J. Chapman and holding off Mike Short for his second Agren Appliance Triple Crown victory of the year.
His fourth victory of the season matched Short for the most among Strictly Stock drivers in that category. It also came one week after Tompkins' night ended with a hard crash into the front stretch wall.
