Eddie MacDonald Will Open Oxford Plains Speedway\u2019s PASS 2019 Season<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Eddie Mac and crew chief Rollie LaChance will debut the new Super Late Model Chevy for owner Freddie Peterson this Sunday, April 28 in the Honey Badger Bar and Grill 150 at the historic Oxford Plains Speedway in Maine. Built in the off-season by Dale Shaw, the team has been finalizing preparations for the new ride in anticipation for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are really excited to get this car on the track after all the work to see what it can do,\u201d said the veteran racer. \u201cThe car looks great and Dale did an awesome job building it for us but now it is up to us to make it go fast. With any new car, there are a lot of unknowns so will have to see where we are at during our Saturday practice. We only have four fifteen minute practices so we really have to be on our game. It should be fun and we are looking forward to test out the new car.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be the second race this season for Eddie Mac after finishing sixth in the PASS race at Richmond after battling back from a hard crash in the Friday practice in the Dave Lemieux owned Chevy. Eddie Mac will drive a limited schedule for both owners in the Super Late Model series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFreddie Peterson decided after last season to build a super late model to compete locally,\u201d said Eddie Mac. \u201cWe are happy to be racing our first race for him at Oxford. It is a place both Rollie and I know well and we have had a lot of success there. Hopefully this experience pays off this weekend with a strong showing and a solid finish. There is so much to getting a new car dialed in we feel we will be capable to run with the tough field already entered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The car and team will again be sponsored by EXIT Realty, Hancock Electric, and Grimm Construction as it has been for many years with Eddie Mac saying, \u201cWe are so lucky to have Derek Beatrice from EXIT Realty, Kenny and Scott Thompson from Hancock Electric, and Rob Grimm from Grimm Construction on board with us again the year. It means so much to this team to know these people have been our sponsors and friends for so many years. Of course, we could not do any of this without the commitment of car owner\u2019s Sheila and Freddie Peterson from Peterson\u2019s Auto Body. We have two great owners in the Peterson\u2019s and Dave Lemieux and we appreciate everything they do for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur body\/paint crew member John Tiernan is currently in the hospital and we want to wish him all the best and hope for a speedy recovery,\u201d said Eddie Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gates will open on Sunday at 1:30, pit gate at 8:00, with divisions scheduled for final ten minute practices beginning at 2:00 pm. Heat races begin at 4:00pm, followed by the OPS features. Saturday\u2019s practice begins at 10:00am until 2:00pm with 15 minute practices on a rotating schedule for five divisions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
