First Oxford Plains Speedway win of the season for former champ TJ Brackett
Oxford, Maine — TJ Brackett of Buckfield raced away from the pack to earn his first Budweiser Championship Series Super Late Model win of the season in a non-stop 50-lap race topping the card Saturday night at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Brackett, a former track champion in the ultra-quick top class, had a terrible start to his 2016 campaign turn around nicely, as he easily outran rookie Super Late Model driver Josh Childs of Oxford to the checkered flag.
Dennis Spencer, Jr., establishing himself as a championship contender once again, nailed down a second consecutive podium finish. Multi-time Late Model champion Shawn Martin of Turner earned a fourth-place finish with a lot of work on the outside groove, sometimes three-wide.
TIMMY BRACKETT WINS OXFORD SUPER LATE MODEL RACE, TAKES OVER CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD
Oxford, Maine — Defending Oxford Plains Speedway Super Late Model Champion Timmy Brackett of Buckfield vaulted back atop the Budweiser Championship Series rankings Saturday night, nailing down his first victory of the season in the 50-lap main event.
Brackett chased last year’s NASCAR Pro Series champion at Beech Ridge, Reid Lanpher of Manchester, through the early stages of the event, then got the lead back on a restart scrum that likely cost Lanpher any shot at victory.
Brackett’s closets rival under the checkered flag was Dennis Spencer, Jr., of Oxford. Spencer was comfortably ahead of a torrid, last-lap battle for third position, with Minot’s Scott Farrington just able to get by Shawn Knight from South Paris.
First Super Late Model win for Spencer Morse at Oxford Plains Speedway
Oxford, Maine — Spencer Morse of Waterford raced to a career-first Super Late Model victory Saturday night, topping the Budweiser Championship Series stock car racing card at Oxford Plains Speedway.
A third-generation OPS racer, and son of a former track champion, Morse battled frontrunner Ryan Deane of Winterport in the early stages of the 50-lap finale, then held off a hard-charging Tracy Gordon to earn a popular victory lane appearance.
Morse and Gordon, from Strong and one of the track’s more successful veteran racers, were joined on the podium by multi-time Late Model track champion Dennis Spencer, Jr. Early race leader Deane and Shawn Knight of South Paris rounded out the top five.
SHAWN MARTIN WINS RAIN-SHORTENED SUPER LATE MODEL RACE AT OXFORD PLAINS SPEEDWAY
Oxford, Maine — Shawn Martin of Turner charged around the outside of his Budweiser Super Late Model rivals, including reigning champion Timmy Brackett of Buckfield at the scheduled halfway point, and five laps later crossed under yellow and checkered flags to claim victory in a 30-lap headline race at Oxford Plains Speedway on Sunday afternoon.
Martin, who started sixth, was pulling away from all rivals when the race was cut short. Brackett and fellow Buckfield competitor Kyle Treadwell were second and third-place finishers, respectively. Rookie Super Late Model driver Josh Childs of Oxford posted an impressive fourth-place finish, and was gaining on frontrunners when the race was cut short.
Opening Day Budweiser Championship Series Super Late Model winner Glen Luce of Turner rounded out the top five after lining up behind three-quarters of his rivals on the starting grid for the 30-lapper. Dennis Spencer, Jr., of Oxford, led much of the early half of the race before finishing seventh.

Reigning Oxford 250 kingpin wins Budweiser Championship Series opener
Oxford, Maine — Glen Luce of Turner followed up his most successful racing season ever with an opening day victory in the Budweiser Championship Series Super Late Model division season-opener Sunday afternoon at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Luce, who fulfilled the goal of most every Maine stock car racer with a $31,000-plus victory in last year’s Oxford 250, nailed down this 50-lap triumph after an early battle for the lead with Norway’s Chris Coolidge.
Late in the going Luce had to turn back a challenge from Buckfield’s Timmy Brackett, the track’s reigning Super Late Model champion. Brackett finished up .036-seconds behind the winner at the line, with Coolidge coasting home in third position.
