Missy Morgan of Lewiston, ME. is racing in the Ladies Division at Oxford Plains Speedway (OPS) on Wednesday Nights. This past Wednesday Missy drove her race car straight to victory lane. “My first win this season was probably the best one yet! I worked really hard for it and it was such a fun race to be in!”
Missy recaps the last few laps of the race, “The last 7 laps were pretty intense, I was in 4th for most of it then I just kept talking to myself through each corner trying to keep a good rhythm going. I definitely had to work for it.”

The 2014 edition of the Oxford 250 just received the entry blank from the legendary Steve Park who will be bringing his G Body Parts, Sunoco, Super Late Model to compete in this year’s mega event at Oxford Plains Speedway. Park, a two time Sprint Cup Series winner became the 45th entrant for the race scheduled for Sunday, July 20, 2014 at 2pm.
“I have always wanted to compete in the Oxford 250, stated Park. This is one of the most prestigious racing events in the Northeast, and to be a part of it in 2014 really excites me. I used to attend this race with my dad when I was younger, and I always hoped to drive in this event some time during my life, and now thanks to G Body Parts, Sunoco, New England Racing Fuel and car owner Dickie Woodman, we will be there attempting to add an Oxford 250 win to my resume. I am looking forward to coming up to the State of Maine a little bit early to enjoy what the Oxford area has to offer. Some of my great friends and supporters from Key Parts have also purchased a suite for the Oxford 250 weekend, and I plan on spending a lot of time meeting and greeting their Key Parts family. I haven’t felt this excited in a long time, it’s going to be a great experience.”

RAIN FORCES POSTPONEMENT OF APPLEBEE’S NIGHT AT OXFORD PLAINS SPEEDWAY
Once again bad weather has forced the management to pull the plug for racing at Oxford Plains Speedway for Friday night, June 13th. A forecast of 80% chance of showers, heavy rains, and severe thunderstorms prompted the decision.
Track Vice President Michael Mayberry stated, “The forecast just looks horrible, and with such a big night of racing planned it’s the right thing to do. Applebee’s Night featured our own Budweiser Pro Late Models, Allen’s Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stocks, Ripley & Fletcher Ford Outlaw Sportsman, Bandits, and the all new Dave’s Small Engine Repair, PASS Northeast Late Model Series featuring the Husqvarna 100. With racecars coming from throughout New England for the PASS Series event, we wanted to let them know well ahead of time so that they didn’t waste a lot of dollars making the trek, and then getting rained out. We are working on a rain date as we speak and it will be announced in the very near future.”

RAIN WASHES OUT OXFORD PLAINS SPEEDWAY AGAIN
For the second consecutive weekend, rain has forced Oxford Plains Speedway to postpone their Friday night, Budweiser Oxford Championship Racing Series.
“It was just too bad that the rains came in like they did as there were thirty-one Pro Late Models in the pit area stated General Manager, Dick Therrien. It was $5 Buck Friday, presented by 99.9 The Wolf, and the Maine Motorcycle Safety program, and it looked like we were going to have a great crowd as even in the rain the cars were pouring into the parking lot. We have come up with a great plan for the fans to use their tickets.”
