Regarding
the incident
in Victory
Lane
at the
conclusion
of the
Oxford 250 |
The
#54 car of
Johnny Clark
and the #53
of Cole
Butcher had
contact
during close
racing
during the
event. At
the end of
the event
the #54 was
in the low
groove and
came up on a
slower car
that was at
the tail end
of the lead
lap. The #54
braked and
slowed
abruptly and
the #53 had
no place to
go and ran
into the
#54. The #54
spun at this
point. The
#53 went on
to win the
event.
After the
checkered
flag, while
the track
was under
caution, the
#54 ran into
the #53 in
Victory Lane
and revved
his car
excessively.
At this time
there were
officials,
crew members
of the Top 3
and media
headed to
Victory
Lane. This
was an
incident
that could
have gone
very bad,
very fast,
and not
something to
be taken
lightly.
The #54
of Clark has
been docked
100 points
and will
have a fine
of $3,000.
Disqualification
had been
seriously
considered
but we felt
this was a
suitable
punishment.
We
understand
the
frustrations
of racing,
especially
in big
events, but
the safety
of everyone
is our top
priority and
this type of
behavior
cannot be
accepted. |
|
Butcher
Claims 49th
Annual
Oxford 250 |
Cole
Butcher had
never
considered
Oxford
Plains
Speedway to
be one of
his better
tracks, but
after years
of trying in
the Spring
of 2022 Cole
picked up
his first
career PASS
win at
Oxford. That
momentum at
the 3/8 mile
built a
little
confidence.
Butcher
qualified
20th on the
field after
finishing in
the last
transfer
spot in the
5th heat and
would never
again fall
back further
than that
spot.
As
always some
of the most
exciting
racing of
Oxford 250
Sunday was
the
qualifying
races. With
65 cars
battling for
just 42
spots 18
drivers
would be
sent home
disappointed
having to
wait a full
year for
their 250
dreams to
become a
reality.
Five drivers
didn't have
to worry
about that,
as Curtis
Gerry, Joe
Pastore,
Joey Doiron,
Ben Rowe and
Cassius
Clark all
won their
heat races
and would
start in the
first five
spots
respectively.
A
few drivers
that didn't
fair as well
in their
heat races
were Garrett
Hall and TJ
Brackett. In
heat race
number five,
contact
early on
sent both
Hall and
Bracket into
the front
stretch
wall. Hall
was able to
repair his
car. However
TJ's number
61 would
need a rear
clip and
done for the
day.
The
carnage
would not
end there.
In the
second of
three
consolation
races four
cars made
contact
causing 2006
250 Champion
Jeremie
Whorff's #00
to climb the
right side
of Dave
Farrington
Jr's #23.
Whorff would
also be
forced to
withdraw his
name from
competition
while
Farrington
was able to
repair his
car and
start with a
provisional.
Garrett Hall
was able to
rebound and
win the last
chance race
with his
broken and
beaten
warhorse,
while 250
favorites
Mike
Hopkins,
Nick Sweet
and Tracy
Gordon were
unable to
make the
race. Other
drivers on
the outside
looking in
were 2001
250 Champion
Gary Drew
and 3-time
250 Champion
Travis
Benjamin.
After the
field was
set, the fly
over was
completed,
and engines
were fired.
Curtis Gerry
and Joe
Pastore lead
the stacked
42 car field
to green.
Pastore was
the dominate
force at the
start
leading the
first 51
laps,
fending off
Gerry and
others for
multiple
restarts.
Many
drivers had
issues early
including
Gabe Brown
involved in
a lap 2 spin
and Eddie
MacDonald
who suffered
a flat right
front tire.
Both drivers
were put a
lap down but
were able to
rally back
win lucky
dogs and
still be in
contention
for the win
in the end.
Eventually
Curtis Gerry
was able to
overtake
Pastore on
lap 52 from
the outside.
However, on
lap 54 Gerry
tried to
clear
himself to
the bottom,
and the #20p
car of
Pastore was
not about to
give him a
break. Gerry
spun out of
the lead in
front of the
field.
Pastore
was able to
lead from
lap 54 to
lap 80
including
the Hall of
Fame Lap on
lap 60
honoring
2022 Maine
Motorsports
Hall of Fame
inductee
Dick Glines.
Pastore was
able to
claim
$7,800.00 in
in lap money
before
running out
of fuel on
lap 177.
The next
driver to
take the
lead was Max
Cookson, out
front for
the next 48
laps. This
was Max's
first
attempt at
the Oxford
250, and he
had a
stellar day.
Most drivers
just hope to
make the
show in
their first
start, but
Max was a
contender
throughout.
The
Pittsfield
driver is a
Rookie in
the RB
Performance
Super Late
Models
weekly
division at
Oxford. He
is leading
the
championship
standings
after not
even
strapping
into a
racecar
until the
fall of
2020. An
impressive
talent that
we will be
watching
winning
races at
some level
for years to
come.
Eddie
Macdonald in
the #17ma
would
eventually
inherit the
lead picking
up 21 laps
lead as well
before
Calvin Rose
took over to
lead 4 laps.
However,
2020
Champion
Johnny Clark
#54 looked
destined for
victory
taking the
lead on lap
156 and
leading all
the way to
lap 241. On
lap 242
Clark
encountered
Jimmy Hebert
another
driver
making his
first 250
start.
Hebert was
going to
hold the
bottom grove
to maintain
his spot in
the running
order. With
the Canadian
Cole Butcher
running
Clark down,
Clark ran
into the
back of the
lap car
mistiming
the pass.
Cole Butcher
then got
into the
back of
Clark,
spinning the
#54 around
backwards
and out of
the lead.
Clark was
able to
refire the
car and
recover to
fourth and
restart with
the leaders.
This
also gave
"The Outlaw"
Eddie
MacDonald
another shot
to pick up
his third
250 win.
Restacking
the field
with just 8
laps to go,
Eddie was
unable to
make it
work. Gabe
Brown #50b
of Center
Conway, NH
also made a
late race
charge on
the #53
of leader Butcher to
no avail.
In
the end Cole
Butcher took
home the
victory by
0.447
seconds over
Eddie
MacDonald
and Gabe
Brown.
Johnny
Clark, Max
Cookson,
Joey Doiron,
Curtis
Gerry, DJ
Shaw, Ryan
Kuhn, and
Alan Tardiff
rounded out
the top 10.
Nine drivers
that
finished in
the top 10
have won
races at
Oxford this
season,
proving
practice
does in fact
make
perfect.
Cole
Butcher
joined the
likes of Don
Biederman,
Junior
Hanley,
Derek Lynch
and Dave
Whitlock as
Canadians
that have
won the
Oxford 250.
He is the
first
Canadian to
win since
Dave
Whitlock in
1995 and the
first driver
hailing from
Nova Scotia
to win the
prestigious
race.
The 49th
Annual 250
was the
biggest
event in
several
years and
the 50th
will be even
bigger. Will
a Clark pick
up another
win? Will
the Hound
Dog Jeff
Taylor get
it done?
Maybe a
relatively
new face
like Max
Cookson or
an outsider
traveling
from across
the
continent to
try and
capture the
largest
single day
short track
purse in the
country?
Only time
will tell,
but the 50th
Annual
Oxford 250
will be
bigger and
better than
ever.

The
New England
Super
Modified
Series
also graced
Oxford
Plains
Speedway
with their
presence
where Derek
Griffith
piloted the
Allegresso
Airlines/
All Star
Towing #77
owned by Ken
White Sr. to
Victory.
Derek had
never raced
a big block
supermodified
in his life.
The #77
sustained
significant
damage in
the first
practice
after an
incident
with a push
truck that
required a
tow back to
the pits.
The team
worked hard
got the car
repaired,
and although
the practice
laps were
limited,
Derek won
both the
heat and the
feature
going wire
to wire in
both events.
Ben Sietz,
Russ Wood,
Rob Summers
and Dan
Bowes would
round out
the top
five.
The
PASS MODS
were in
action both
Saturday and
Sunday.
Saturday it
was all
Colby
Benjamin in
the #52
Zampell
Facilities
Management
car. Colby
took the
lead on lap
7 out of 40
and never
looked back
even as PASS
MODS point
leader
Garrett Lamb
was on a
charge,
coming
through the
field three
wide and
moving into
second.
Bill Fiske
was backing
up his 2nd
place finish
at Oxford 2
weeks prior
with another
solid podium
effort. This
would be
Colby's
first win on
the MODS
tour after
four years
of trying.
Garret Lamb
increased
his point
lead over
Brandon
Varney,
Shawn
Knight, Dan
Brown and
Troy Morse
with his
podium
finish. Bill
Fiske ended
up third
while Gary
Chiasson,
and Ajay
Cates
rounded out
the top 5.
On
Sunday
all-time
PASS MODS
win leader
Andy Shaw
put on a
clinic going
wire to wire
to win his
first PASS
MODS race in
half a
decade. Win
#31 on his
PASS Mod
career was
short lived
though as
Shaw was
disqualified
in tech. Dan
Brown
inherited
his second
PASS MODS
win of his
career while
Garret Lamb
finished
second yet
again. Ryan
Ripley,
Brandon
Varney, and
Alex Ricker
filled out
the top five
spots in the
50-lap
contest.
The PASS
MODS will
have Labor
Day weekend
off before
they join
the Super
Late Models
in a trip to
The Feed The
County 150
at Spud
Speedway on
their first
trip to
potato
country
since 2019.

As a
reminder,
every cent
of this
money is
given
directly to
the leader
of that lap.
Historically
lap leader
money has
played a
pivotal role
in
determining
the winner
at the end
of the
night.
Will
that be the
case in
2022?
Time
will tell!
The
drivers and
teams, PASS,
and OPS
thank your
contribution
in making
this already
historic
event even
better!
If
you did not
get your
order in to
us on time
and missed
getting your
lap, fear
not, other
great
opportunities
exist for
you to
become a
part of one
of the
largest and
most famous
short track
races in
America.
For
more
information
about that
please call

Kennebec
Equipment
Rental To Be
Title
Sponsor of
PASS MODS
Tour |
Oxford, ME
-- Officials
at the Pro
All Stars
Series
(PASS)
announced
today that
Kennebec
Equipment
Rental has
agreed to
become the
title
sponsor of
the PASS
MODS tour
for the
remainder of
the 2022
season.
Kennebec
Equipment
Rental is
family owned
and
operated,
offering
high quality
rental
equipment
and sales
since 1964.
To celebrate
the
partnership
with the
tour,
Kennebec
Equipment
Rental has
spearheaded
a unique Lap
Sponsorship
program for
the special
50 lapper
slated for
Sunday
August 28th.
For a
minimum of
$25,
sponsors,
people,
businesses,
and anyone
wanting to
was able to
contribute
to fill the
entire 50
lap feature
for 250
Sunday.
The
unique twist
is that the
lap’s money
doesn’t
necessarily
go to the
leader, and
can be MORE
the $25 AND
more than
one sponsor
can be on a
lap.
Over
$1600 was
added to the
purse.
