Oxford
ME - As the
calendar creep
toward the winter
months, the Pro All
Stars Series season
came to a conclusion
at Oxford Plains
Speedway with one
big Mega Weekend
last Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday
that saw multiple
divisions in action
and a pair of young
champions crowned.
Austin Teras won the
Joe Pro 150 on
Friday while Brandon
Varney secured his
6th win of the
season and Gabe
Brown was triumphant
on Sunday with
Spencer Morse
nailing down his
first win of the
season. Max Cookson
wrapped up an
amazing triple
championship season,
while Varney scored
his first career
touring division
championship in the
PASS MODS.
Cookson, with the
weekly Oxford Plains
Speedway title in
hand, completed the
trifecta with an 8th
place overall finish
on Sunday to secure
the PASS SLM North
AND SLM National
Championships for
2023. Cookson
achieved the rare
feat using a model
of consistency as
the strategy to wear
down the
competition. While
the number 39 only
scored a single
victory on the tour,
he made his way to
the top ten in all
15 North races as
well as the National
only races. The
young driver from
Palmyra came into
the season with the
title as his goal
and developed a
driving style that
was conducive to
finishing the long
distance races near
the front week in
and week out.
Varney's
strategy was much
the same, as the
Auburn driver
finished in the top
5 in 12 of 13 races
while coming home
winner in 6 of
those. After a
runner up finish in
the PASS MODS class
in 2022, the 26 year
old was determined
to score one better
in 2023. A win on
opening day meant
the #1 team led the
standings from start
to finish. Varney
also scored the
Weston Automotive
PASS MODS Challenge
Championship proving
the driver is
capable of winning
outside of his home
track of Oxford
Plains Speedway.
The weekend
festivities started
off with a make-up
of the previously
rained out Joe Pro
Diesel Specialist
150 on Friday. A
heated battle for
the win between
Austin Teras and
Gabe Brown consumed
the second half of
the race. The two
youngsters swapped
the lead multiple
times as they weaved
in and out of lapped
traffic before Teras
ultimately beat
Brown across the
line by a car length
for the $5000
victory. Rounding
out the top 5 were
DJ Shaw, Max
Cookson, and TJ
Brackett.
Brandon Varney
continued his
winning ways in the
Kennebec Equipment
Rental PASS MODS as
he took the lead
from the Spencer
Morse near the
mid-point of the 50
lap tilt and cruised
to the victory. Ryan
Hewins and Zach
Bowie rounded out
the top 3. Corey
Morgan, Brian
Caswell, and Tyler
Jalbert were the top
3 in the $400 to win
Cooleys Commercial
Tire Mad bomber 30.
Sunday's card
featured triple
segment events for
both the PASS Super
Late Models and the
PASS MODS, while the
Dow Excavating
Limited Sportsman
raced 75 laps and
the Spaulding
Roofing Street
Stocks went 50.
Gabe Brown
grabbed the victory
he narrowly missed
on Friday by scoring
finishes of 3rd,
8th, and 7th for 18
points respectively
in the three 100 lap
segments. Runnerup
with 19 points was
DJ Shaw, with Austin
Teras, Mike Rowe,
and Corey Bubar
rounding out the top
5. Segment winners
were Joey Doiron,
Mike Rowe, and
Austin Teras.
The Kennebec
Equipment Rental
PASS MODS sponsored
by Bessey Motor
Sales "Triple 30s"
was snagged Spencer
Morse who used a
pair of segment wins
and a sixth place
finish to grab his
first win of the
season taking home
nearly $1500. Morse
narrowly edged out
veteran Bill Dixon
who used two 4th
place finished and a
last segment win to
come home runner-up
in what may be his
last career race.
Rounding out the top
3 was Evan Roy who
finished 7th, 2nd
and 2nd for a total
of 11 points. Ryan
Ripley and Spencer
Vaughn rounded out
the top 5.
Chris Smith, Kenny
Harrison and Mike
St. Pierre were
first to the line in
the 75 lap Dow
Excavation Limited
Sportsman tilt with
Bubba Pelton and
Jordan Russell
rounding out the top
5. Billy Childs Jr.,
Brandon Johnson,
Clyde Hennessey,
Chaz Briggs, and
Brian Caswell were
the top 5 in the
Spaulding Roofing
Street Stock 50.
Other Winners
over the Weekend
were Tyler Jalbert
in the Oxford Auto

Special, Thomas
Richards in the KHM
Thunderstocks, Nate
