GLEN
LUCE OF TURNER, ME CLAIMS
$30,000-PLUS VICTORY IN
42nd
ANNUAL AIM OXFORD 250 |
Oxford, Maine - Glen
Luce of Turner scored an
emotional victory, and a
$30,000-plus payday, in
Sunday's 42nd Annual AIM
Recycling USA Oxford 250 at
Oxford Plains Speedway.
For Luce, who once
finished second to NASCAR
star Kevin Harvick in the
annual classic, it was not
only a career highlight, but
a dream come true for
someone who grew up at the
historic Maine racetrack.
After drawing a
dead-last starting spot in
his heat race, Luce worked
his way into fourth place,
earning the 22nd starting
position in the 250. Twice
he worked his way into
contention before pitting
for tires, first for a pair,
later for a full, fresh set.
After outgunning
Berwick's Joey Doiron for
the lead, Luce outran
Manchester teenager Reid
Lanpher to the checkered
flag. For both Luce and
Lanpher it was a career-best
PASS Super Late Model
finish, coming in the
biggest-paying race of the
year.
Luce and
Lanpher were chased to the
checkered flag by Ben Lynch,
a New Hampshire native now
living in North Carolina.
Six-time PASS North Super
Late Model champion Johnny
Clark of Farmingdale ended
up in fourth position. The
top five was filled out by
50-lap last chance race
winner Joey Polewarczyk,
Jr., who started the
250-lapper in 34th position.
Cassius Clark earned a
sixth-place finish in the
Rollie MacDonald 13. Wayne
Helliwell, Jr ended up in
seventh after leading more
than half the race, earning
a hefty bonus in lap leader
awards. Helliwell also
turned in the fastest lap of
the race. Rounding out the
top ten were Corey Bubar of
Windham, David Oliver of
Standish and East
Parsonsfield's Trevor
Sanborn.
Evan
Armington of Lovell won the
25-lap race for OPS Mods on
Saturday night and then
backed that up with a 40-lap
victory for PASS Modified
tour points on Sunday
afternoon in the Pro All
Stars Series lone open-wheel
series.
Armington was
chased under the checkered
flag by reigning series
champion Andy Shaw of Center
Conway, New Hampshire,
driving the Sumner Sessions
0. Jimmy Emerson of Windham
led the early stages of the
race, finishing up in third
position. Ryan Robbins of
Dixfield and Newburgh's
Scott Alexander rounded out
the top five.
Josh
Childs of Oxford won for the
second straight night in
Allen's Coffee Flavored
Brandy Street Stock
competition, outrunning
Bryce Mains of Naples to the
checkered flag. Dan Brown of
Peru earned the third-place
trophy, in front of Turner's
Calvin Rose, Jr. and David
Whittier of Poland.
Ryan Kuhn of East
Bridgewater, Massachusetts
raced to his first-ever INEX
Legends Cars win. Kuhn
outgunned Jolicure, New
Brunswick competitor Corey
Hall for the victory, with
Hall claiming runner-up
honors after leading most of
the 25-lapper. Nicholas
Naugle of Dartmouth, Nova
Scotia finished third for
the second straight night at
OPS. Early race leader
Austin Teras of Windham
ended up in fourth place,
followed by Emily Meehan of
Rawdon Gold Mines, Nova
Scotia.
David Cook of
Livermore Falls started from
the pole and led all the way
in a special, 50-lap race
for the MacDonald Motors
Runnin' Rebel class. Kyle
Hewins of Leeds won an
entertaining, race-long
battle for runner-up honors
with the winner's brother,
Derek Cook of Livermore
Falls. Matthew Mahar of
Buckfield and Auburn's Cody
Childs rounded out the top
five in an event with a lot
of paint-swapping throughout
the top ten.

Tradition, New
Faces, And Huge Field
Highlight 42nd Annual Oxford
250
Entry List Up To
71 As Race Approaches |
NAPLES, ME (August
26) - With the 42nd Annual
AIM Recycling Oxford 250
Presented By Kenny U-Pull
only days away, race teams
and fans from across North
America are making their way
towards the historic Oxford
Plains Speedway in Maine.
Over 70 of the very best
Super Late Models from all
over the continent are
expected to try and qualify
for the richest single day
motorsports event in the
world. Despite practices on
Friday and Saturday for the
prestigious event, the field
will be determined by a
series of heat races and
consolation races that will
provide plenty of drama as
drivers attempt to make the
cut for the $25,000-plus to
win top prize.
Since
1974 when Joey Kourafas
bested nearly 100 other
drivers to win the inaugural
AIM Recycling Oxford 250
Presented By Kenny U-Pull,
the heat races and the
difficulty to qualify are
part of what has made this
race legendary. Whether a
champion or a rookie, much
of what can make or break
your weekend depends on the
draw to determine starting
positions for the heat
races. But a bad draw does
not necessarily spell
imminent doom. 3-time AIM
Recycling Oxford 250 winner
has never started better
than 10th on the way to any
of his victories. As a
matter of fact, Rowe started
back in 37th and had to
advance to the 250 via the
consolation race for his
most recent win in 2005.
In addition to trying to
become the first 4-time
winner of the AIM Recycling
Oxford 250, Mike Rowe is
seeking his first Pro All
Stars Series (PASS) North
Super Late Model
championship. Despite
winning the inaugural PASS
South Super Late Model title
in 2006, the 64-year-old
legend has never managed to
win New England's top racing
championship. Rowe comes
into this year's 250 as the
PASS AIM Recycling Super
Late Model points leader
over defending series
champion, DJ Shaw and 2-time
defending Oxford 250 winner,
Travis Benjamin. With a
40-plus car starting field
for the AIM Recycling Oxford
250 on Sunday, a bad finish,
or even worse yet, failing
to qualify for the race
could prove to be disastrous
in the race for the
championship.
Likewise, the race for the
PASS National Championship
is even tighter coming to
Oxford Plains. Berwick, ME's
Joey Doiron leads the
national championship fight
by a single point over
2-time PASS National
Champion, Ben Rowe, and just
six points over Durham, NC's
Tate Fogleman. Of those
three, only Ben Rowe has a
250 win taking the checkered
flag twice in 2003 and 2004.
"I know exactly how
hard the 250 is to win,"
says Ben Rowe, who is also
the all-time winningest
driver in PASS history.
"People all over the country
know about the Oxford 250,
but this race means
everything to the people of
New England. You just never
know what's going to happen
throughout qualifying and
the entire day."
Perhaps more than anything
entering Sunday's 42nd
Annual AIM Recycling Oxford
250 Presented By Kenny
U-Pull is how wide open this
year's race is. Most
observers will agree that
there is no clear-cut
favorite and that a surprise
winner is not out of the
realm of possibility. New
Hampshire drivers Bryan
Kruczek and Jeremy Davis
have emerged as dark horses
for the win. Kruczek has
been able to score his first
two career PASS wins this
season and Jeremy Davis went
to victory lane for the
first time in his career at
Autodrome Montmagny.
The winner could come
from the weekly Super Late
Model competitors that race
at Oxford Plains Speedway.
The top five drivers in
weekly points, Tim Brackett,
Kyle Treadwell, Alan Wilson,
Vanna Brackett, and Scott
Robbins, have all entered
the 250 and have more
knowledge of the quirks that
make up Oxford Plains
Speedway than most of the
drivers who are attempting
to qualify.
Among the
70 drivers who have recently
entered for this weekend's
race include two former race
winners. Eddie MacDonald
returns seeking his first
Oxford 250 win since going
back-to-back in 2009 and
2010. MacDonald will be
making his second PASS start
of the season following his
win in the inaugural Super
Late Model race at New
Hampshire Motor Speedway.
And, Jeramie Whorff, the
2006 250 winner, returns
with the Dick Woodman team
as he looks for another
chance at victory.
A
busy week of racing action
at Oxford Plains Speedway
leading up to the 42nd
Annual Oxford 250 Presented
By Kenny U-Pull begins on
Friday, August 28 with
practice for the PASS Super
Late Models, along with
features for the PASS

Saturday, August 29, there
will be more practice for
the PASS Super Late Models,
followed by features for the

Street Stocks, OPS
Modifieds, Wicked Good
Racers, Classic Lites, and
the New England Mini Stock
Tour (NEMST). Then, on
Sunday, August 29, the day
will begin at 9 AM with
rotating practice for all
divisions, followed by heat
and consolation races at
1:30 PM featuring the PASS
Super Late Models. The PASS
Modifieds, Rebels, and
Street Stocks will then have
feature races followed by
the green flag for the 42nd
Annual AIM Recycling Oxford
250 Presented By Kenny
U-Pull at approximately 5:30
PM. Additionally, the INEX
