Enter 2008 TD Banknorth 250 by April 15, become eligible for Goodyear tire drawing

OXFORD, Maine - In conjunction with the registration process for the 35th annual TD Banknorth 250 Presented by New England Dodge Dealers, Oxford Plains Speedway owner Bill Ryan has announced that early entries once again will be entered into a drawing for eight Goodyear tires.

All race entries received by Tuesday, April 15 will be free. OPS will draw three tire winners from that pool of drivers. 

“We introduced the tire drawing last year as sort of a grand opening for the new Late Model format of the TD Banknorth 250, and the response absolutely floored us,” Ryan said. “With the limit on the number of tires every team may buy, eight is a huge reward and one that could make a big difference in any driver’s race weekend.” 

OPS received 156 pre-entries during the tire giveaway window last year. That total increased to more than 180, with 97 different drivers making an actual qualifying attempt on race day. The latter number represented the highest car count at New England’s most lucrative, historic short track race in a decade. The TD Banknorth 250 entry form is available here or by calling the Speedway office at (207) 539-8865. (You must have the current version of Adobe Acrobat Reader to download the entry blank.)

This year’s TD Banknorth 250 again features the traditional three days of racing, all presented by New England Dodge Dealers. 

It begins with a full card of Oxford Championship and Acceleration Series competition on Friday, July 18, followed by a day of TD Banknorth 250 practice and the Maine-Ly Action Sports 100 for the True Value Modified Racing Series on Saturday, July 19. 

Qualifying begins Sunday at 2 p.m. for the TD Banknorth 250. NASCAR Sprint Cup Series star and 2007 Daytona 500 champion Kevin Harvick filed the first entry for the race last month. Reserved seats are available at $50, $40 and $30. Seating chart
