OXFORD, Maine – With memories from the TD Bank 250 still fresh in the drivers’ minds, both the Acceleration Series and Championship Series divisions got a well-deserved week off from competition. However, there was still plenty of action at the Oxford oval with the third of four Motor Mayhems this year, presented by Aaron’s, taking place.

OXFORD, Maine – The Renegades were the first to take to the 3/8th mile track for a ten lap feature event. Charlie Hall started on the front row in his new #3 car, and he jumped out to the lead. However, it was very short lived as Jamie Heath passed him just a lap later and ran away from the field to open up a straightaway length lead. Mark Turner and Gerard Cote moved past him as well to take over second and third. Turner had moved his way up through the pack well after making contact with Bill Grover, causing Grover’s #91 to spin sideways in turn three. Grover charged furiously through the field and caught back up to Turner with two laps to go. Going into turn four, he made heavy contact with Turner’s car causing him to slide high and back several spots. Jamie Heath crossed the line first, well ahead of Grover and Cote. However, Bill Grover would not hold his position as he was bumped back to the tail end of the lead lap for rough driving. Gerard Cote officially finished second with Turner, Charlie Hall, and Grover rounding out the top five.

OXFORD, Maine – A huge crowd was on hand on Maine State Lottery Fireworks Night and they were rewarded with fireworks both on the track and in the air. A spectacular fireworks display was put on by Central Maine Pyrotechnics, but the Oxford Championship Series put on a show of their own beforehand.
The Call of the Wild RV Center Sport Trucks got the night started with a ten lap feature. Only a small contingent of drivers took to the track, but every one of them had a chance to win the race. Jeff Schmidt started on the pole, but he was quickly overtaken by Ryan Farrar. Farrar finished second on Wednesday night after being passed on the last lap, and he looked determined not to let that happen again as he opened up a big lead. Corey Williams sat back in third, but was unable to make up enough ground on Schmidt to challenge for second place. At the line, it was Ryan Farrar celebrating, with Schmidt and Williams behind him and Joe Farrar taking fourth.
