7G
for the Win
|
Oxford, ME --
Curtis Gerry spent most of his 2020 season in a
heated battle for the points championship at
Oxford Plains Speedway (OPS) with Dave
Farrington Jr. That was a battle that the
Waterboro driver came out on the losing end of
at the conclusion of the season. Sunday's battle
was no different, only this time, Gerry reigned
supreme taking his second Pro All Stars Series
(PASS) event of the year in the Lee's Family
Trailer Sales PASS 150.
Gerry started the
main event in the 13th spot but wasted no time
charging to the front. By lap 38 Gerry had the
familiar black 7g at the point of the field and
was able to turn away all challengers as he
clinched his eighth career PASS victory at the
famed 3/8th mile oval in Oxford. Gerry survived
four cautions in his pursuit of victory, and
while he was never seriously challenged, several
suitors took turns laying chase to the veteran
driver. When the dust settled, Sabattus driver
and 2020 OPS Super Late Model Champion, Dave
Farrington Jr. came home with runner-up honors.
Vermont's Nick Sweet, a five time tour winner in
2020 including a win in June at OPS, brought
home the third place trophy.
While Gerry
paced the way over the last 112 laps, a war was
being waged among no less than a dozen drivers
all vying for a podium finish. Ryan Robbins,
Alan Wilson, Scott Robbins, and Rusty Poland
among others all took turns in the top 10
putting on a show for the fans. Some drivers
were committed and stuck to the traditional
bottom groove of the racetrack while others
liked to rim ride around the very top. With so
much room to move and find lines, the battle for
second through 25th was routinely stacked up
with 3 wide racing action. At race conclusion,
Johnny Clark, Josh Childs, Ben Ashline, Ben
Rowe, Joey Doiron, DJ Shaw and Garret Hall
rounded out the top 10.
The Pro All
Stars Series returns to action next Saturday at
1pm for the season finale and the Coastal Auto
Parts 150. DJ Shaw carries a 69 point lead over
Johnny Clark as he seeks his fourth career title
and Clark his seventh.
The Pro All Stars
Series is recognized as North America's premier
sanctioning body for asphalt Super Late Models
and boasts such marquee events as the legendary
Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway and the
Easter Bunny 150 at the historic Hickory Motor
Speedway.

From Worst to
First
|
Oxford, ME --
No one would have blamed Justin Larsen if he
left the most recent race at Thunder Road in
Vermont a little bit dejected and ready to pack
it in. After contact with the leader, Larsen
bounced off the wall, affectionately known as
"The Widowmaker" and ended up tumbling down the
front stretch. Despite running 2nd in points,
with 10 top 10's, Larsen still had not held the
checkered flag. All that changed Sunday as
Larsen put the battered #18, orange on one side
and black on the other side, into the PASS MODS
winners circle.
Larsen started the 50
lap tilt in the 11th spot and charged his way to
the top 3 front before the midpoint of the race.
In the cleanest race of the year for the PASS
MODS, the contest was only stopped one time late
in the race for a multi car spin off turn four.
Without the benefit of a yellow, it became a
race to the front for some of faster cars that
hit the setup correctly. A blistering pace was
set by early leader, and rookie contender, Ajay
Cates. As the green flag wore on the handle on
the Cates number 2 began to fade while Larsen
reeled in the young driver. Larsen and Cates
locked bumpers briefly as Cates tried to keep
his car pinched to the low side protecting the
bottom. It was enough for Larsen and King to get
by with Zach Bowie in tow.
From that
point Larsen was able to hold of some stern
challenges from current point leader Tyler King
as he secured his second career PASS MODS win.
After the contact with Larsen, Cates fell back
but engaged in an epic battle with King and
Bowie for podium rights over the last 10 laps.
King proved the best of the three, if only
because if track position, as Bowie applied
constant pressure to the 5 time winner this
year. Bowie's third place run was his best
finish in the 00 Bill Lake owned MOD, and he may
well have been the fastest car on the track at
the end of the race. Cates held on for a career
best 4th place run while Chanler Harrison scored
his second top 5 of the season.
The PASS
MODS are back in action next Saturday at 1pm for
their season finale at OPS as a part of the
Coastal Auto Parts 150. Tyler King holds a
commanding lead over Justin Larsen while leading
rookie Kevin Durgin sits in the third spot. |

Oxford, ME -- Big Money, big tires, and
big car counts were all on the line Sunday for the
Street Stock Open Twin 50s. Over $5500 in posted awards
were up for grabs between the two race and the overall
points champion for the double duty contests. Matt
Dufault paired his Race 1 victory with a third place run
in Race 2 to secure the overall win and the $500 bonus.
Billy Childs Jr., the Race 2 winner after apparent
victor Adam Lovejoy ran afoul of the tech department,
coupled that win with a 5th place in Race 1 to secure
runner-up honors in the overall standings. It was
Child's maiden voyage on the 10 inch tire that is used
in the open contests and the Honey Badger Street Stock
Series.
Dufault slipped past early leader Jordan
Russell, who had an impressive 3 wide charge to the
front in his heat race to start on the front row, and
was able to hold on for the victory in segment one of
the two race contest. Russell held on for the second
spot while Kyle Treadwell, making a rare start in a
borrowed ride, came home third in segment one. Rounding
out the top 5 were Dan Brown and Billy Childs Jr.
This set the stage for Race two as the lead lap cars
were inverted and the rest were placed on the rear.
Dufault started ninth while Billy Childs Jr. started
fifth. Childs quickly made his way to the front where
leader Adam Lovejoy resided in the car numbered X.
Childs spent the better part of the second half of the
race challenging the leader on the outside, only falling
back briefly. 6 cautions slowed the field and eventually
let Childs back to the front one more time where he
would remain for the rest of the race.
Rookie
Alex Mowatt, the 2020 OPS Bandit Champion, wowed the
crowd as he ran in the top 3 and challenged Childs for
the win before settling for second in his first start in
an 8 cylinder car. Dan Brown, who was pulling double
duty in his street stock and in Mark Simond's PASS MOD,
used a pair of consistent races finishing fourth and
fifth to secure the overall third place finish.
The Honey Badger Street Stock Series wraps up its season
next Saturday at 1pm as a part of the Coastal Auto Parts
150 at Oxford Plains Speedway. Jordan Russell sits atop
the standings ahead of Dufault and Mike Haynes. |

Rowe Snaps Long
ACT Winless Drought
at OPS as Hebert Locks up First
Title
Belanger
Overwhelms Field in
Flying Tiger Oxford Open
|
Oxford, ME -- Turner, ME's Ben Rowe and
Williamstown, VT's Jimmy Hebert took home the glory of
the American-Canadian Tour (ACT) season finale at
Maine's Oxford Plains Speedway on Sunday, October 18.
Rowe broke a long ACT dry spell with his victory in the
Lee's Family Trailer Sales & Service 150 while Hebert's
third-place finish clinched his first ACT Late Model
Tour championship.
For Rowe, it was the
multi-time Pro All Star Series champion's first win in
an ACT-sanctioned event since 2006 -- a drought of more
than 14 years. Hebert, meanwhile, finally claimed a
title after having finished second or third in the ACT
standings four different times during his career.
Stark, NH's Jamie Swallow Jr. set the early tempo,
snatching the lead from polesitter Marcel J. Gravel
amidst a trio of early cautions. Once the field got
going, Swallow checked out, putting several seconds
between himself and a raging battle that included Ryan
Kuhn, Rowe, Tom Carey III, D.J Shaw, Derek Gluchacki,
and others.
Swallow ran away again following a
pair of lap-42 yellows, but when the race resumed after
a lap-62 red flag for T.J. Laro's head-on frontstretch
crash, things tightened up at the front. Rowe stuck with
Swallow this time around while Shaw, who entered the
event as the only driver who could catch Hebert for the
title, also got into the mix.
After following an
increasingly loose Swallow through some lapped traffic,
Rowe put his Ford to the inside entering turn one on the
81st circuit, completing the pass just before the
seventh caution flag flew for Jeff Lebrecque Jr.'s spin.
Swallow put his bumper back ahead for a lap following
the restart, but Rowe surged in front once again the
next time around.
Hebert, who by that point
needed only a 16th-placce finish to salt away the
championship, then put on a blitz of his own. The
Vermonter moved into third following the lap-81 caution
and slid into second after a lap-107 yellow when Peyton
Lanphear climbed the dirt pile in front of a backstretch
light pole. As Swallow and Shaw got shuffled backwards,
the Massachusetts trio of Carey, Kuhn, and Gluchacki
rejoined the fray.
One final caution after
Lebrecque pounded the wall on the front chute set up a
36-lap shootout to end the season. As the laps wound
down, Rowe, Hebert, Carey III, and Kuhn broke away,
running inches apart for the win. Carey got beneath
Hebert for second with five laps to go and made a run at
Rowe, but the crafty veteran held him off by a car
length for the win.
Carey's second-place finish
was still the best of his ACT career. Hebert took third
and the championship along with it. Kuhn came in fourth
while Gluchacki secured the ACT Rookie of the Year award
with a career-best fifth-place result. Swallow, Stephen
Donahue, Erick Sands, and Gravel rounded out the top-10.
Young hard charger Ben Belanger of Whitefield, NH
put on a master class in the ACT Flying Tiger Oxford
Open to pick up his second win of the season. Belanger
started on the outside pole and immediately put his
fender out front of Hardwick, VT's Jaden Perry. After
running side-by-side for several laps, Belanger got
clear and immediately started driving away from the
field.
Reigning Thunder Road Flying Tiger
champion Jason Woodard got around Perry for second
following a lap-23 caution for Colin Cornell's stalled
machine. Waterbury Center, VT's Woodard did his best to
try and snooker Belanger on two subsequent restarts, but
Belanger had more than enough to counter.
The
youngster pulled away following the final caution at
lap-42 to win by a straightaway over Woodard. All three
of Belanger's career Flying Tiger victories have now
come in 75-lap races, with the Oxford Plain Speedway
triumph joining two at New Hampshire's White Mountain
Motorsports Park.
Behind the lead duo, the action
stayed hot with the rest of the frontrunners swapping
positions back and forth. Thetford, VT's Brandon Gray
picked his way through the pack to finish a strong
third. Kelsea Woodard made a spirited run at catching
Gray in the closing stages before settling for fourth.
Sam Caron, Cameron Ouellette, Perry, Bryan Wall Jr.,
Tanner Woodard, and Kevin Streeter completed the top-10.
The 2020 American-Canadian Tour racing season is now
complete. The status of the annual ACT Banquet of
Champions is up in the air pending local health and
safety guidelines. The 2021 schedule will be announced
before the end of the year.
