NAPLES, ME (June 30) \u2013 With the 43rd<\/sup> 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\u2019s biggest events.\u00a0 This weekend a huge opportunity will be presented to Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Super Late Model racers on the \u201cRoad To The Oxford 250.\u201d\u00a0 On Sunday<\/span>, 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\u2019s HP Hood Oxford 250.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Florida\u2019s Dalton Sargeant has made quite an impression since first beginning his stock car racing career in PASS South back in 2014.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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\u2019s most elite starting lineups is not lost on Sargeant.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be a couple of firsts for me this weekend, my first time at Oxford Plains Speedway and my first PASS North race,\u201d says Sargeant, who will piliot the Windows 10 Toyota Camry #55.\u00a0 \u201cWe are using this race to warm up for the prestigious Oxford 250 later in the year, and we’ll work really hard to put ourselves in a situation where I can race for those top 3 positions to lock us into the 250.\u00a0 It’s going to be an uphill battle as we’ll be racing against some of the best drivers on the east coast but we’ll learn what we can and apply it for the 250.\u201d<\/p>\n

An impressive field of drivers will join Sargeant as they look to lock themselves into the 43rd<\/sup> Annual HP Hood Oxford 250 including veteran campaigners Kelly Moore, Tracy Gordon, Wayne Helliwell, Jr., Bobby Timmons, and Matt Matheson.\u00a0 Derek Griffith will lead the young talent, along with Scott and Dave Farrington, Jr., Adam Polvinen, Ben Ashline, Brandon Barker, and Wyatt Alexander.\u00a0 Plus, many Oxford Plains favorites like Tim and TJ Brackett, Scott Robbins, Rusty Poland, Dennis Spencer, Jr., Alan Wilson, Ben Ashline, and Nick Cusack.<\/p>\n

It is a huge weekend of racing at Oxford Plains Speedway, which actually begins on Saturday<\/span> night with Applebee\u2019s Fireworks Night, featuring Super Late Models, Figure 8s, Legends, Cruisers, Trucks, Street Stocks, Outlaw, Bandits, Ladies, and Rebels.\u00a0 On Sunday<\/span>, in addition to the PASS non-winners 100 lapper, it will be a continuation of the Independence weekend fun featuring the Colossal Carnage 100 Enduro, North East Street Stock Tour, Spectator Drags, Flag Pole race, and a Smokey Doughnut competition.<\/p>\n
