Trevor Sanborn
Dominates Mid-Week
PASS Oxford 250
Tuneup |

Trevor
Sanborn made an
emphatic statement
Tuesday in the final
Pro All Stars Series
(PASS) race at
Oxford Plains
Speedway before the
51st Annual Bar
Harbor Bank & Trust
Oxford 250.
The leader in Oxford
Plains' Super Late
Model track
championship
standings, Sanborn
passed Gabe Brown on
lap 40 and led the
rest of the way for
a dominant victory
in the Pierson
Heating & Cooling
150.
When the
checkered flag fell,
Sanborn finished
more than a second
ahead of D.J. Shaw,
with Brown finishing
third.
"It
was a heck of a
race," said Sanborn
in victory lane. "I
wasn't sure if I
could get Gabe
[Brown] on the
outside there. We
wore him down a
little bit. He was
getting tight and we
were rolling good.
The car just fired
off really good. It
was a rocket."
Five-time PASS
North champion D.J.
Shaw will be seeking
the first Oxford 250
win of his
illustrious career
on August 23-25.
Tuesday's race was a
strong showing to
build towards that
objective, but not
quite enough to
contend with Sanborn
for the win.
"It was a good race
there," said Shaw.
"A lot of long green
runs there. We just
didn't have enough
for the 44 [of
Sanborn] there.
Fired off terrible
tonight. It seemed
to come around as we
went, but it doesn't
matter when the
leader can pull away
to a straightaway
lead. They were
pretty dominant.
Congrats to them.
Another win here in
short time, they're
going to be tough to
beat come the end of
August."
Meanwhile, the
podium showing was a
big bounceback
effort for Brown.
The New Hampshire
driver finished 19th
in his last two PASS
starts, including an
accident at White
Mountain Motorsports
Park on July 14.
"We are a lot
better than we
were," said Brown.
"I can't thank all
my guys enough for
working today on
this Tuesday, coming
out and helping me.
Donnie for coming up
on Sunday and
helping me get this
thing back together.
We've been taking a
little bit of a
break since we've
been struggling a
little bit. D.J.
completely went
through the car for
me and it was a lot
better than it has
been."
Derek
Kneeland, the
spotter for Kyle
Busch at Richard
Childress Racing in
the NASCAR Cup
Series, took
advantage of a few
more days left in
the Olympic Break to
take part in the
150-lapper. Kneeland
was rewarded with a
fourth-place
showing, his best
career finish in
PASS. Dennis Spencer
rounded out the top
five.
While
much of the second
half of the race
took place under the
green flag, the race
saw a rough start
with a multi-car
incident. Five
drivers saw their
nights end in the
incident, with T.J.
Brackett taking the
hardest shot against
the frontstretch
wall. Brackett
climbed out under
his own power. |
