Pennink Tops Oxford Field For Ninth VMRS Win
Oxford, ME. – Rowan Pennink of Huntingdon Valley, PA, passed race leader Anthony Nocella, of Woburn, MA, on lap 76, and went on to score his second win of the season Saturday night, July 20, at Oxford Plains Speedway, Oxford, ME. The Valenti Modified Racing Series sanctioned race was part of the 40th annual TD Bank 250 weekend.
Pennink becomes the sixth different VMRS winner at Oxford and he joins Tommy Barrett, of Millis, MA, with two wins.
Pennink started 16th in a field of 21 cars, calculated his strategy with spotter Brian Crowley perfectly to position himself for a race-leading pass on the 76th circuit.
Two laps later Pennink had his hands full as Richard Savary, of Canton, MA, chased after the leader right to the finish. In lapped traffic, Savary twice pulled alongside Pennink.

OXFORD, Maine – Dan McKeage of Gorham, Maine, finished eighth in the rain-shortened PASS Sportsman Series 75 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine, on Friday, July 19.

40th Annual TD Bank 250 Attracting Drivers From Across North America
NAPLES, ME (July 16) – Ever since the first TD Bank 250 was held at Oxford Plains Speedway in 1974, it has attracted not only the best short track racers from New England, but from across North America. In that first event won by Joey Kourafas, the precedent was set that short track racing’s best would assemble at Oxford for the 250. In addition to the talented group of drivers from New England in the field that day, Southern aces Bosco Lowe and 1963 Daytona 500 winner Tiny Lund competed along with a strong group of Canadian drivers led by Jean Paul Cabana. In fact, the early years of the TD Bank 250 were dominated by Southern drivers such as Butch Lindley, Bob Pressley, and Tommy Ellis. The first Canadian to taste TD Bank 250 glory was Don Biederman in 1977.

BRADLEY BABB RACING: Babb Hopes To Learn From Past Oxford 250 Lessons
Bradley Babb Hopes For Better Oxford 250 Fate
Third-Generation Champion Wants To Make Up For Lost Time
WINDHAM, Maine – The last time Bradley Babb went to the Oxford 250, he worked so hard just to qualify for the main event that his race car had very little left in it by the time the green flag waved.
This weekend, Babb, of Windham, Maine, will try and learn from lessons of the past in the 40th annual TD Bank Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine, on Sunday, July 21. Babb, the reigning NASCAR Whelen All-American Series track champion at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway, hasn’t competed in the Oxford 250 since 2010.
“Everybody knows it’s one of the major Super Late Model races in the whole country, and it’s one we have right here in our backyard,” Babb said. “I think everybody wants to win the 250. I can’t really tell you what it would mean until I was actually standing in Victory Lane. It would mean the world to me to be able to win it.”
