OXFORD, Maine – Jackie Beattie etched her name in the JARRacing Photography Go Kart record books Friday night as the first lady driver to win an Unrestricted feature at Oxford Plains Speedway

Beattie ruled the 'B' section of the draw in the top division, with race officials again forced to divide a record kart count of 17 into two 20-lap races.
Dave Farrington Jr. dominated the 'A' main for his fourth consecutive win and eighth of the season in that class. Farrington also logged his sixth Star Champ victory. It marked the fifth time this summer that the soon-to-be junior football player at Jay High School has swept both events.

OXFORD, Maine – With the exception of an unforgettable ending that was ruled a dead heat between late Sportsman shoes Leland Kangas and Lee Day back in 1981, fans in Oxford Plains Speedway witnessed the closest top-division feature finish in the track's 58-year history Saturday night.

After two multi-time speedway champions swapped the lead seven times in a side-by-side battle that raged for more than 25 laps, Ricky Rolfe edged Carey Martin by one-thousandth of a second and unofficially reclaimed the Oxford Networks Late Model point lead in the process.

It's Brown by a body panel over Verrill in TD Banknorth 250,
ending Maine's 11-race winning streak at OPS summer classic

OXFORD, Maine – In one of the closest TD Banknorth 250 finishes ever, Roger Brown withstood a furious charge by Oxford Plains Speedway weekly competitor Dale Verrill out of the final corner to win the 34th annual short track extravaganza.

Brown, 28, of Lancaster, N.H., led all but one of the final 109 laps on his way to a $35,800 payday.

"It's unbelievable to think of myself on a list with guys like Dave Dion, Mike Rowe and Ralph Nason," said Brown, who groomed his talent in supporting divisions at Riverside Speedway in New Hampshire and Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Vermont before joining the American-Canadian Tour. "I'm sure I don't belong on that list."

No driver from outside Maine had won the OPS summer classic since 1995, when ACT stalwart Dave Whitlock capped a streak of three consecutive wins by Canadian drivers.
