NAPLES, ME (June 30) – With the 43rd Annual HP Hood Oxford 250 less than two months away and with over 40 cars already entered, racers from across the continent are starting to focus their efforts toward one of short track racing’s biggest events. This weekend a huge opportunity will be presented to Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Super Late Model racers on the “Road To The Oxford 250.” On Sunday, a special 100 lap event for PASS non-winners and drivers who have competed at Oxford Plains Speedway over the last five years will award the top three finishers a guaranteed provisional for this year’s HP Hood Oxford 250.
Florida’s Dalton Sargeant has made quite an impression since first beginning his stock car racing career in PASS South back in 2014. Since then, he has won a K&N Pro Series race at Irwindale Speedway in California and been among the front runners everywhere he has competed. While a PASS win has escaped him, he challenged for the win recently at Anderson Motor Speedway and finished third in the Over The Moutain 150 at Hickory Motor Speedway. With over 70 cars expected to try and make the field for the HP Hood Oxford 250, the opportunity to get locked into one of short track racing’s most elite starting lineups is not lost on Sargeant.

Rookie Josh Childs of Oxford led a healthy portion of the Super Late Model 50-lapper’s early stages before yielding to Hebron’s Alan Wilson, who set the pace through the event’s middle stages. Anson’s Scott Moore took the point away from Wilson, but there was no stopping Smith and his unclehenrys.com 75, and when the checkered flag waved Smith was in the spotlight for the first time at Oxford Plains Speedway.

Super Late Model rookie Ben Ashline seventh winner in seven weeks in Oxford Plains Speedway Budweiser Championship Series action
Oxford, Maine – Ben Ashline nailed down his first-ever Super Late Model victory in just his third career start in the class in the 50-lap headline race Saturday night at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Ashline, a proven winner in the discontinued Late Model division at OPS a few year back, led all the way to claim victory in the ultra-competitive class, becoming the seventh different winner in seven Super Late Model races this season. It was just his third start in the class, all in Gary & Renee Smith’s Uncle Henry’s-sponsored car.
Ashline’s closest rival under the checkered flag was Dixfield’s Scott Robbins, who finished some four seconds behind the victor. The final 49 laps of the race were caution-free. Reigning champion and current Budweiser Championship Series points leader Timmy Brackett of Buckfield added another trophy to his collection with a third-place trophy.
