OPS and PASS Detail Fan Appreciation Night Featuring SLM Qualifier

Oxford Plains Speedway (OPS) and the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) have announced the full details for their upcoming Fan Appreciation Night scheduled for Saturday, June 20. This event promises to be a major celebration for fans, offering over 6,000 free general admission tickets distributed by more than 40 local sponsors.

The main attraction of the night will be a high-stakes competition: a 125-lap points-paying event for the Mid-Coast Excavation Super Late Models. The winner will take home $3,000, with $550 offered as a starting purse. This special race serves as an exciting qualifier for drivers aiming for a spot in the August 30 Oxford 250.

Beyond the Super Late Model action, the event will feature a full card of Oxford Championship Series action, including the remaining six weekly divisions. This makes the Fan Appreciation Night one of the biggest events anticipated for the 2026 season at OPS.

Oxford, ME – Joey Doiron and the #73 Wild Willy’s Burgers/JBJ Machine team were fresh of a win in the last Pro All Stars Series event at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway going into their biggest race of the season. The team had another strong outing in the biggest short track race in the country, the Oxford 250. Doiron lead over 70 laps early on, and was in contention for the win late in the race when with ten laps to go, he suffered an engine issue that he was forced to ride out with, finishing the 250 lap race in 11th place.

 

“It’s really disappointing to have it finish that way for us,” Doiron said after the race, “We got caught behind a little bit under the long green flag run, but we played the right strategy and I think we would have been on the podium again this year, but it just wasn’t meant to be. I’m still really proud of my team, they did a great job all weekend.”
