Robbins Goes The Distance At Oxford Plains

OXFORD, Maine – Ryan Robbins wired Saturday’s Budweiser Championship Series Super Late Model main event at Oxford Plains Speedway.

The race, run under threatening skies, went caution-free, the third 50-lapper to do so this season in five races contested, to date.

Robbins jumped out front early and led every lap, easily outrunning two-time track champion T.J. Brackett to the checkered flag.

Brackett, the championship runner-up in the two most recent racing campaigns at OPS, was almost five seconds ahead of third-place finisher Curtis Gerry, who got caught up in traffic more than once after starting in 10th spot.  Rusty Poland earned his fourth-place finish, while Ryan Deane was fifith, earning a fifth consecutive top-five finish.

Kurt Hewins won his second consecutive Allen’s Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stock feature event, this time in spectacular fashion to win by inches over reigning division champion and current points leader Matt Dufault.

Rookie Alex Mowatt of Norway raced to an impressive victory in the 20-lap main event for four-cylinder Bandits racers.

Oxford’s own Charlie ‘Chachy’ Hall prevailed in an uncharacteristically-sloppy 20-lap race for the Figure 8 competitors.

Norway’s Maddy Herrick won her first Rookie division feature race, holding off three-time winner Brady Childs of Leeds to earn her trip to victory lane.
