Brackett Wins Fifth In A Row
Stevens Takes Epic Truck Race
By Caleb Lamb
OXFORD, Maine – The Acceleration Series was back on Wednesday night at Oxford Plains Speedway, and what a night of drama filled racing it was. Eight features saw last lap passes, wins starting from the back of the pack, and post-race disqualifications that turned the finishing order on it head.
The Renegades were the first to take to the track for their ten lap feature event. Opening night winner, Bill Grover bounced back from some tough luck in last week’s race, and took over the early lead after starting on the outside pole. Mark Turner and Jamie Heath filled in behind him as this quickly became a three car race. Grover, Turner, and Heath broke away from the pack and attempted to settle things amongst themselves, but all three cars appeared stalemated. Neither of the three competitors could pull alongside to attempt a pass, but none of them lost any ground either, and after the ten laps were up, Bill Grover still held the lead and took first place honors with Turner and Heath behind him.
