The four cylinder truck  series started the cloudy racing program off with their heat race which  saw Jeff Schmidt of Mechanic Falls on the pole. Schmidt&#8217;s lead would be  short lived however as Gray&#8217;s Jake Burns  powered by Schmidt&#8217;s #22 truck  before the first lap was complete. Burns, the three time Oxford Plains  Speedway truck  champion held the lead for two laps before Harpswell&#8217;s  Opie Allard was able to get by and take the lead. The lead is where  Allard would stay for the rest of the heat race as he picked up the  checkerd flag. Duane Booth would finish second and Burns in the third  posistion. <\/span><\/p>\n<p \/><span id=\"postmessage_142132\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/><!--more--><\/p>\n<p> The feature event which was sponsored by Wiswell Electric and  Mr. J&#8217;s Auto had Jeff Schmidt and Miranda Power starting on the front  row but as soon as the green flag flew all the drivers were fighting for  the top spot making it three wide in every corner. When the field  finally got settled in it was Opie Allard who the rest of the field  would have to chase down. As Allard streched his lead lap after lap the  battle for second had the fans on their feet. Ryan Hayes, Duane Booth  and Jake Burns fought it out for the rest of the race making it three  wide several times and racing nose to tail until they crossed the stripe  for the final time. After 15 laps the checkerd flag was waved for Opie  Allard who picked up his fifth win of his career. Burns would just get  by Hayes on the last lap to take second. Hayes hung in for third. Duane  Booth would finish fourth and Jeff Schmidt finished fifth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"postmessage_142132\"><br \/> 1- Opie Allard, Harpswell, Lucus Auto Repair <br \/> 2- Jake Burns, Gray, Lucus Auto Repair <br \/> 3- Ryan Hayes, Jefferson, All Season Automotive <br \/> 4- Duane Booth, Wells, Groundnut Hill Contractor <br \/> 5- Jeff Schmidt, Mechanic Falls, Deadseason <br \/> 6- Josh Harjula, Boothbay, Harjula Racing <br \/> 7- Miranda Power, Norridgewock, Wiswell Electric <br \/> N.E.S.T.
