Taylor Makes Long Awaited Return to OPS Victory Lane
by: Caleb Lamb
OXFORD, Maine – The Oxford Plains Championship Series returned to action for the first time since the TD Bank 250, and the familiar names found their way to victory lane.
The Call of the Wild RV Center Sport Trucks represented the first feature of the night. Jeff Schmidt jumped out to an early lead in the ten lap event, but it was clearly evident that Ryan Farrar had the fastest truck on the track. Farrar continued to chase down Schmidt, lap after lap, using the high groove to gain speed. Farrar reached the Schmidt’s rear bumper, who tried to slide his truck up a racing groove coming out of turn four to block Farrar’s lane. However, the move backfired and Farrar simply ducked underneath, took the lead, and ran away with the win. Farrar struggled in Wednesday’s Acceleration Series event but made the right move in fine tuning the handling on his machine for Saturday’s race. Schmidt, ever the picture of consistency, crossed the line second, and Corey Williams rebounded to finish third after failing to even take the green flag on Wednesday. Duane Booth and John Reynolds rounded out the top five.

Charlie Colby and Kari Thibodeau pick up first Beech Ridge victories
Scarborough,Maine-Charlie Colby joined the ranks of the NASCAR Pro Series drivers this season at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway and Saturday night the move paid off handsomely as Colby entered victory lane following the 40 lap main event. Keith McKinnon led the field to the green flag and led the opening 7 laps. Colby quickly moved around McKinnon to take the lead position on the next circuit and began to pull away from the field. Jay Sands moved to second place at the mid point of the race and Mike Rowe took third but Colby was too far in front for them to make a run. This was Charlie Colby’s first feature win at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. Steve Carrier finished fourth and Aaron Ricker was fifth.
