(Naples, ME – July 5,
2005) Chris Staples did something Sunday night at Oxford Plains Speedway in
Oxford, ME that no one else can ever do-- he won the first PASS Modified
race ever at Oxford.
A mid-pack shuffle on lap 4 going into turn three involving several cars
stacked up the field and changed the outcome dramatically and tightened up
the point’s race. The wreck sent the #72 of Chad Dow of Fairfield, ME, the
#99 of point's leader Dana Grover from Waterford, ME, the #15 of 2nd-place
Wayne Allard of Stetson ,the #9 of 3rd-place and defending PASS Modified
champion Mark Lucas of Harpswell, and the #6 of Troy Morse of Waterford to
the to the pits. Morse, Dow, and Lucas made it back, but Grover and Allard
were done for the night.
Chris Staples avoided the carnage and sailed to his second win of the
season, with Richie Morse in the #34 second and brother Troy in the #6
making it back through the field for the podium finish. |
