Oxford, Maine \u2013 Derek Griffith of Hudson, New Hampshire raced to his first-ever Oxford Plains Speedway victory in the 50-lap Super Late Model feature, topping the Budweiser Championship Series racing card on Ferris Mowers Night presented by Dave\u2019s Small Engines Saturday<\/span> night.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Griffith\u2019s victory aboard the LCM Racing 12 came from third starting position, but was no cakewalk, as reigning HP Hood Oxford 250 champion Glen Luce of Turner and others had restart chances but could not prevail against the 19-year-old hotshoe.\u00a0 Griffith becomes the 13th<\/sup> winner in 13 races this season for the Budweiser Super Late Models.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Luce looked like a contender to be the first repeat winner in the top class this season, but settled for runner-up honors.\u00a0 Former track champion Shawn Martin of Turner raced to an impressive third-place finish after starting the race in 20th<\/sup> position.\u00a0 Rookie Josh Childs started from the pole, battled Griffith for a spell en route to a fourth-place finish.\u00a0 Reigning track champion and current points leader Timmy Brackett of Buckfield rounded out the top five after starting 18th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Matt Dufault of Turner returned to victory lane, tightening an already-close championship battle against fellow Turner racer Calvin Rose, Jr. in the Allen\u2019s Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stock division.\u00a0 Dufault started seventh and was soon stalking early race leader Matt Williams of Brownfield.\u00a0 Rose, the 11th<\/sup> starter, patiently moved into contention as Dufault took command, just moving to second a straightaway\u00a0 behind Dufault.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But unlike the previous week, Rose was unable to prevail on the restart, and Dufault was triumphant in the 30-lap race.\u00a0 Rose settled for runner-up honors, with Lisbon\u2019s Rick Spaulding claiming third-place hardware.\u00a0 Early race leader Williams, of Brownfield, was fourth under the checkered flag in his first appearance of the season.\u00a0 Zach Emerson of Sabattus was fifth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jamie Heath of Waterford prevailed in another entertaining 20-lap feature race for MacDonald Motors of Bridgton Bandits racers.\u00a0 After gaining eight spots on the first lap from his 14th<\/sup> starting position, Heath was off chasing early leader Charlie Hall of Oxford.\u00a0 Heath got by Hall on a restart and went on to claim yet another checkered flag in his impressive OPS portfolio.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hall was clearly the best of the rest on this night, claiming runner-up honors well in front of third-place Tyler Green of Turner.\u00a0 Green, who led the championship standings entering the night but lost that lead to Heath, survived a tough battle for the final trophy with Ryan Hewins of Leeds, in the Varney ride.\u00a0 Bill Grover of Waterford rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kyle Kilgore of South Paris nailed down his second win of the season in the 15-lap Dave\u2019s Small Engines\/Ariens\/Gravely Figure 8 race, noting in victory lane that all three 100-race winners in the history of Oxford Plains Speedway were in the race.\u00a0 Kilgore took the lead from Mike Rowe, who looked like he might triumph in his first-ever run through the X.\u00a0 But an errant lapped car took Rowe wide and opened the door for Kilgore, who sped to victory in one of the most action-packed races to date for the class.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n New England Hall of Famer Rowe, of Turner, did claim runner-up honors in front of Eric Hodgkins of Minot, who somehow claimed a third-place finish after a head-on bout with a concrete barrier.\u00a0 Greg Durgin of South Paris and Lisbon\u2019s Robert Morey rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Super Late Model competition resumes Sunday, July 31 at 6:00 p.m. with the HP Hood 150 for Pro All Stars Series.\u00a0 PASS Mods and Legends Cars round out that racing card.\u00a0 The Budweiser Championship Series at Oxford Plains Speedway resumes on Saturday, August 6 at 7:00 p.m.<\/span>\u00a0 For more information visit oxfordplains.com<\/a> or call (207) 539-8865<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unofficial Budweiser Championship Series results from Ferris Mowers Night at Oxford Plains Speedway on Saturday, July 30 showing finishing position, car number, driver\u2019s name, driver\u2019s hometown.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n SUPER LATE MODEL (50 laps) 1 12 Derek Griffith, Hudson, NH;
