Oxford, Maine - Curtis Gerry of Waterboro raced
to his first-ever Oxford Plains Speedway Super Late
Model victory Friday night, leading the entire 50-lap
distance to become the eleventh different winner in
eleven Budweiser Championship Series events this season.
Gerry's closest rival as he raced under the
checkered flag was Oxford Super Late Model rookie Josh
Childs, scoring a career-best second-place finish in the
top class after winning the Street Stock championship
last year.
Scott Robbins of Dixfield got the
final trophy after starting ninth in a race slowed only
by an early caution period. Fourth-place Glen Luce of
Turner ran out of time, closing on the frontrunners
after starting fourteenth. Jay's Dave Farrington, Jr.
rounded out the top five.
Matt Dufault of Turner
used a three-wide move to claim a lead that ultimately
led to victory in the 30-lap feature race for Allen's
Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stocks. It was Dufault's
third straight win in points counting races, and fourth
consecutive victory at the track driving the Rodney
Williams 61, including a North East Street Stock Tour
victory. Dufault started the raced from 12th position.
Calvin Rose, Jr., also from Turner, mounted a
serious challenge to Dufault's streak late in the race
until something went awry, but his runner-up finish was
unofficially enough to hold on to a slight advantage in
the championship battle over Dufault. Zach Emerson of
Sabattus picked up another third-place trophy. Oxford's
Kim Tripp led the early stages of the race en route to a
fourth-place finish. Sabattus teenager Jonathan Emerson
rounded out the top five.
Jacob Hall of Oxford
scored his first victory of the season in the 20-lap
main event for MacDonald Motors of Bridgton Bandits
division competitors. Turner's Tyler Green cruised to a
second-place finish, just in front of Waterford's
hard-charging Jamie Heath, who was fourteenth on the
starting grid. Joshua Knoll of Mechanic Falls and New
Gloucester's Caleb Emerson-Mains rounded out the top
five.

David Smith of South Paris raced to his second victory
of the season in the 15-lap race for the Ariens /
Gravely / Dave's Small Engine class. Smith outran
reigning champion and current points leader Jon Lizotte
of Lewiston to the checkered flag. Minot's Eric Hodgkins
stayed close in the title chase with a third-place run.
Lisbon's Robert Morey and Greg Durgin of South Paris
rounded out the top five.
