Oxford, Maine – Travis
Benjamin nailed down his
second consecutive Pro All
Stars Series North Super
Late Model victory Sunday
night at Oxford Plains
Speedway.
Benjamin, in the Petit
Motorsports 7, needed most
of the race distance to
mount a challenge to Cassius
Clark of Farmington, who
dominated most of the race
driving the Nova
Scotia-based King Racing
entry. Benjamin moved
alongside Clark for a
late-race restart and was
able to prevail from the
outside groove.
Glen
Luce of Turner also got by
Clark in the waning laps to
earn a second-place finish
after a couple of
disappointing weeks saw him
ousted from the series
championship lead.
Clark ended up with a
third-place finish and some
optimism about returning
with the car for the 44th
Oxford 250 coming up on
Sunday, August 27.
Waterboro’s Curtis Gerry was
the fourth-place finisher,
with Auburn’s Travis Stearns
earning his first top-five
Pro All Stars Series finish.
Joey Doiron of Berwick was
sixth, followed by Derek
Griffith of Hudson, New
Hampshire.
Massachusetts racer Derek
Ramstrom was eighth,
followed by Dave Farrington,
Jr. of Jay and Pittsfield’s
Chad Dow. Clark,
Stearns and Benjamin posted
victories in 15-lap heat
races.
Andy
Shaw of Center Conway, New
Hampshire prevailed in the
40-lap feature race for the
PASS Mods. Shaw, a
five-time champion in the
class, quickly worked his
way through traffic from his
11th starting
position to get by early
leader Mark Lundblad, Jr. of
Conway, New Hampshire.
It was Shaw’s second
consecutive win and his
second win this season.
Current
PASS Mods championship
leader Ben Tinker of New
Gloucester earned runner-up
honors, his second straight
runner-up performance after
winning the first five races
this season. Tinker
started the race from 12th
position. Scott
Alexander of Glenburn
started 10th and
finished up in third spot.
Lebanon’s Mike Carignan and
Lundblad rounded out the top
five.
Jamie
Heath of Waterford aced the
first round of a special
triple crown series for the
Oxford Plains Speedway
Bandits division.
Heath, the reigning track
champion in the class, waged
a race-long battle with
another former champion,
Shaun Hinkley of Oxford, who
had to settle for runner-up
honors.
Kyle
Hewins of Leeds was a
distant third-place finisher
in his Joe Dirt 52.
Auburn’s Scott Jordan and
Chachy Hall of Oxford
rounded out the top five.
Hinkley and Heath won heat
races prior to the 20-lap
main event.
Defending track champion
Austin Teras of Windham
outran Peter Craig of Poland
in the Legends Cars
15-lapper. Gray’s
Kevin Oliver beat out Colby
Benjamin of Belmont for
third-place honors.
The
next Pro All Stars Series
North Super Late Model race
is scheduled for Friday,
August 4 at Lee USA Speedway
in Lee, New Hampshire.
