Budweiser Championship Series Super Late Model main event\u00a0<span data-term=\"goog_2062164843\">on Monday<\/span>\u00a0night at Oxford Plains Speedway.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>An early restarted aided Saunders\u2019 effort to get from his fifth starting position into the race lead.\u00a0 He then built a seven-second lead over a torrid battle for second between veteran racers Alan Wilson of Hebron and Buckfield\u2019s Timmy Brackett.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Super Late Model championship leader Alan Tardiff of Lyman, blocked in traffic for much of the race, came from eighth starting position to claim runner-up honors.\u00a0 Wilson\u2019s third-place finish was his best thus far in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>JT Thurlow of Windham posted s season-best fourth-place finish, while

races.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Points leader Billy Childs, Jr. of Leeds started dead last and needed almost all of the 30-lap distance to score yet another main event victory in the Allen\u2019s Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stock division.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rick Spaulding jumped out in front of the field at the start of the race and stayed there until Childs worked his way by with about three laps to go.\u00a0 Spaulding earned runner-up honors, with Bridgton\u2019s Bryce Mains ending up in third after spending a lot of time in the outside groove.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Matt Dufault of Turner charged from the back of the pack after an early pit stop and finished fourth.\u00a0 David Whittier of West Poland rounded out the top five.\u00a0 Spaulding and Childs won the 10-lap heat races for the Street Stocks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Tyler Green of Turner bounced back from flipping his racecar a couple of weeks earlier to dominate the action in the 20-lap feature race for Bandits division competitors.\u00a0 It was the first victory this season for last year\u2019s runner-up in the Bandits division championship battle.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Former division champion Shaun Hinkley of Oxford was the best of the rest, with Adam Sanborn, also known as Larry Bandito, claiming the third-place trophy.\u00a0 Brandon Varney was fourth under the checkered flag, with the top-five rundown completed by Chad Wills of Oxford.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cam Childs of Leeds and top-ranked rookie Eric Stoddard of Paris were heat race winners in the Bandits division.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kyle Kilgore of South Paris nailed down a career-first victory in the 15-lap Figure 8 race.\u00a0 Kilgore quickly took command of the race and outran points leader Tommy Tompkins of Carthage to the checkered flag.\u00a0 David Smith of South Paris finished in third position, ahead of Oxford\u2019s Kyle Glover and Eric Hodgkins of Minot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Budweiser Championship Series continues on\u00a0<span data-term=\"goog_2062164844\">Friday, July 7 at 7:00 p.m.<\/span>, with Fan Appreciation Night, featuring the
