Oxford, Maine \u2013<\/b> Gary Smith of Bangor had the hammer down on Saturday night, negotiating slower traffic nicely while driving from fifth starting position to victory lane in the 50-lap Super Late Model race, headlining the Budweiser Championship Series stock car racing card at Oxford Plains Speedway Saturday night.<\/p>\n
\n
Smith, celebrating 25 years with sponsor Uncle Henry\u2019s, and the rest of the 25-car Super Late Model field spent most of the race chasing Garrett Hall.\u00a0 Only Smith could find his way past Hall\u2019s NAPA-sponsored ride with the young Scarborough driver earning runner-up honors.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maine and New England Hall of Fame racing legend Mike Rowe of Turner wowed his fans with an impressive third-place run in the Fowler Casco Bay Ford car.\u00a0 Reid Lanpher of Manchester crossed the finish line in fourth position after starting 17th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n \n Alan Tardiff of Lyman raced with the leaders throughout the event and ended up in fifth spot as the checkered flag waved.\u00a0 In the 12-lap Super Late Model heat races, Lanpher, Tardiff and Oxford\u2019s Dennis Spencer, Jr. were triumphant.<\/p>\n \n Bryce Mains of Bridgton made a spectacular, three-wide move underneath a slower, lapped car to take the lead away from West Poland\u2019s David Whittier, then went on to win the 30-lap Allen\u2019s Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stock race.<\/p>\n \n Whittier set the pace for more than half the race, with Mains unable to get by until the race-long leader was forced wide by the slower vehicle.\u00a0 Whittier easily hung on to second-place after Mains got by, with third-place performer Matt Dufault of Turner joining his winning Rodney Williams Racing teammate on the podium.<\/p>\n \n Lisbon\u2019s Richard \u2018Flash\u2019 Spaulding was fourth in the Street Stock 30-lapper, with the previous week\u2019s winner, Billy Childs, Jr. of Leeds rounding out the top five.\u00a0 Whittier and Childs scored 10-lap heat race victories earlier in the evening.<\/p>\n \n Oxford\u2019s own Charlie \u2018Chachi\u2019 Hall dominated the 20-lap Bandits feature, getting out in front of the 25-car pack early in the race and only challenged briefly after a late-race restart en route to his first win of the season.<\/p>\n \n Brian Hiscock of Turner was the best of the rest in the Bandits class\u00a0\u00a0 Former division champion Shaun Hinkley of Oxford was the third-place finisher.\u00a0 Lewiston\u2019s Adam O\u2019Neil and hard-charging Tyler Green of Turner rounded out the top five.\u00a0 Feature event winner Hall and Josh Knoll of Mechanic Falls won heat races earlier on the racing card.<\/p>\n \n Tommy Tompkins of Carthage only led the final circuit after charging from the back of the pack, scoring his second consecutive Figure 8 triumph.\u00a0 Tompkins took command after Eric Hodgkins, who led the first 14 circuits in the 15-lap race, lost power steering and spun mere seconds from possible victory.<\/p>\n \n Kyle Kilgore of South Paris also got by Hodgkins on the final lap to claim runner-up honors.\u00a0 Hodgkins claimed the third-place trophy, ahead of Minot\u2019s Dale Lawrence and local Figure 8 legend David Smith of South Paris.<\/p>\n \n The Budweiser Championship Series continues Saturday, May 27 at 7:00 p.m.\u00a0 Oxford Plains Speedway is located at 877 Maine Street, on State Route 26 in Oxford, Maine.\u00a0 For more information visit oxfordplains.com or call (207) 539-8865.<\/p>\n \n Maine Bureau of Highway Safety Watch for Motorcycle Night stock car racing results from Oxford Plains Speedway;
