\/>Oxford, Maine \u2013 Alan Tardiff of Lyman drove to a convincing victory in Saturday night\u2019s Budweiser Championship Series Super Late Model main event at Oxford Plains Speedway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8746930090MsoNormal\">Tardiff has come out of the blocks impressively this season, holding an early-season advantage in the championship points standings at the historic Route 26 oval track.\u00a0 He outgunned fellow front row starter Andy Saunders of Ellsworth at the start of the 50-lap race and was never headed.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1497223395596_14998\"

the 2015 Oxford 250 champion, started the race from 13<sup>th<\/sup>position, winning a late battle for runner-up honors with former track champion Shawn Martin, also from Turner.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1497223395596_15001\" class=\"yiv8746930090MsoNormal\">Saunders ended up in fourth position, with the top five filled out by Lonnie Sommerville of Barnesville, New Brunswick, Canada.\u00a0 Travis Stearns of Auburn won a 12-lap heat race, as did Saunders and Sommerville.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1497223395596_15003\" class=\"yiv8746930090MsoNormal\">Bryce Mains of Naples bounced back from a bad week with a 30-lap victory in the Allen\u2019s Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stock race.\u00a0 Mains had to turn back a late challenge from the current leader in the championship standing, Billy Childs of Leeds, to claim victory.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1497223395596_15005\" class=\"yiv8746930090MsoNormal\">Tyler King of Livermore nailed down a third-place finish after a couple of Late-race restarts helped his cause.\u00a0 Rick Spaulding of Lisbon had a much stronger run than his fourth-place finish would indicate.\u00a0 Tyson Jordan of Oxford made his first appearance of the season and ended up with a fifth-place finish.\u00a0 Mains and Childs won the Allen\u2019s Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stock heat races.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8746930090MsoNormal\">Trevor Sanborn of East Parsonsfield charged from the back of the starting lineup into victory lane in the 25-lap INEX Legends Cars main event.\u00a0 Sanborn got by Casey Call of Pembroke, New Hampshire to get the race lead, and then held off Buckfield\u2019s Chris Burgess to post the victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8746930090MsoNormal\">Call was third across the finish line, followed by Thomas Everson of Gilmanton, New Hampshire and Poland\u2019s Peter Craig.\u00a0 Sanborn also won the heat race for Legends Cars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8746930090MsoNormal\">Brandon Varney of Auburn led all of the way to win a closely-contested, 20-lap Bandits division main event.\u00a0 Varney, who had wrecked his own car the previous week, borrowed an old car owned by Oxford\u2019s Chachi Hall and held off all challengers throughout the evening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8746930090MsoNormal\">Adam Sanborn of West Paris provided pressure to the leader throughout the race and crossed the line in second position.\u00a0 Waterford\u2019s Bill Grover was the third-place finisher, just ahead of a hard-charging Tyler Green of Turner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8746930090MsoNormal\">Hall, who provided Varney\u2019s winning mount, picked up a fifth-place finish and moved to the top of the championship points standings for the Bandits division.\u00a0 Rob Crepeau of Minot and Varney won the heat races.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8746930090MsoNormal\">Eric Hodgkins of Minot raced to his first victory of the season in the 15-lap Figure 8 race.\u00a0 Hodgkins led the entire distance, and was just able to hold off points leader Tommy Tompkins of Carthage under the checkered flag.\u00a0 OPS Figure 8 legend David Smith of South Paris earned the third-place trophy.\u00a0 Kyle Kilgore of South Paris and Lisbon\u2019s Dale Lawrence rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8746930090MsoNormal\">The Budweiser Championship
