OXFORD 250 JUST AROUND THE CORNER WHO’S WHO IN SLM TO FILL THE PITS
The 41st Annual Oxford 250 is quickly coming upon us, as July 20th is just a couple weeks away, and the excitement and buzz about the event is at an all time high. With almost fifty cars pre-entered for the mega event, and close to seventy Super Late Models expected, the entry list reads like a Who’s Who in the racing world.
This year’s edition will feature a strong contingent from the PASS South Series as several teams will head north to try and capture the Oxford 250 winner’s trophy. Leading the way will be Preston Peltier from Concord, North Carolina. Peltier has numerous PASS South victories, and is always a threat to win the big events. Tyler Dippel from Walkill, New York has picked up victories in 2014 down south and he is ready for the challenge. The father and son team of Jay Fogleman, and Tate Fogleman will be returning to the Oxford 250 for the second consecutive year, with Jay Fogleman vowing to be a contender after last year’s podium finish. Recent PASS South winner, Daniel Hemric has thrown his hat into the ring, as well as Derek Kneeland, and don’t forget two time NASCAR Sprint Cup winner, Steve Park will be aboard the potent Dickie Woodman entry.
OXFORD PLAINS SPEEDWAY SWITCHING TO SATURDAY NIGHTS
A major announcement from Oxford Plains Speedway, Route 26 in Oxford, Maine has been released to the general public stating that Oxford Plains Speedway will be switching their Friday night, Budweiser Oxford Championship Series racing over to Saturdays on August 2, 2014.
Oxford Plains Speedway President Tom Mayberry confirmed the announcement stating the following; “After much deliberation, we have made the decision to switch our Friday night program to Saturday nights beginning on Saturday, August 2, 2014. We have done everything possible to make our Friday night show work, but unfortunately the numbers in the grandstands just haven’t increased enough to make it sustainable. One of the biggest complaints that we have received about Friday night racing is that people from more than an hour away can’t seem to get here in time for the races. By the time they get out of work, get home and relax over dinner, they are totally rushed and many just stay home. We feel that everyone can make it out to the track on a Saturday night, and not be as hurried. We are hoping this will increase the number of fans at OPS weekly. We have an unbelievable show on Friday nights, and we think it will only get better. Several drivers are unable to get to the track on Fridays as their work schedule does not allow for them to get here, and this should also add to our solid car counts, making us even stronger and more appealing to the race fan.”
