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.”

Trevor Sanborn Gets His Shot At Oxford 250
Pave-Tek Motorsports Crew Chief Takes Driver’s Seat This Weekend
ARUNDEL, Maine – When Bill Stilphen came calling, Trevor Sanborn was all ears.
Sanborn, of Parsonsfield, Maine, will take his second shot at Maine’s premier racing event when he drives for Stilphen’s Pave-Tek Motorsports team in the 40th annual TD Bank Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine, on Sunday, July 21. Sanborn last competed in the event in 2006, when he finished sixth.
Incidentally, that year was the last time the race was contested under Super Late Model rules. After a six-year hiatus, the race returns to a PASS North Series sanction this weekend.
“It’s probably the biggest race for anyone in Maine,” Sanborn said. “Truthfully, what short track race is better? I know there’s the Snowball Derby and the Winchester 400, but the Oxford 250 is still the Oxford 250.

Oxford Plains Weekly Competitor Seeks Back-To-Back Starts
NORWAY, Maine – One year ago, Chris Coolidge’s crew chief and father, Bill Coolidge, stood in the infield at Oxford Plains Speedway with tears in his eyes as his son circled the track during the pace laps for the Oxford 250.
While that moment might have served as the culmination in a career for the locally based racing family, Chris Coolidge will try and qualify for the 40 annual TD Bank 250 at Oxford Plains this Sunday, July 21, for the second consecutive year. He knows that it certainly won’t be any easier this time around, but he’s still looking forward to being part of the annual midsummer classic.
Coolidge is a rookie in the Pro Late Model division at the track on a weekly basis this season.
