PASS North Series: Mulkern Racing
Oxford Plains Speedway Race Report
OXFORD, Maine – Bobby Timmons III of Windham, Maine, posted his best career PASS North Series result when he finished fifth in the Ripley & Fletcher Ford 150 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine. Timmons led a two-car Mulkern Racing effort, qualifying 11th in the 34-car field and running inside the Top-5 throughout the second half of the event in the No. 48 Southern Maine Chrysler Dodge Jeep/Timmons Machine Dodge. Following an eighth-place finish at Oxford Plains last October, Timmons now has Top-10 finishes in each of his only two career PASS North Series starts. It looked like the team would have more than one car in the Top-5 at the checkered flag, but Scott Mulkern of Falmouth, Maine, blew a right front tire while running fourth just 10 laps from the finish.

Cassius Clark Gets 2013 Started Off Right with Victory in
Ripley and Fletcher Ford 150 PASS North Event
Dixon, Pastore and Hammar Also Win on Sunday at Oxford Plains Speedway
Oxford, Maine (4-21-13) – One year ago, the #77 Hight Motorsports team with driver Cassius Clark were looking for their first PASS North Super Late Model victory. They got that win in the season’s third event and advanced to the role of title contenders by the end of the season. Clark eventually finished second to Travis Benjamin in the final 2012 PASS North standings.
On Sunday afternoon at Maine’s Oxford Plains Speedway, Clark and the #77 team started out their 2013 season with a victory in the Ripley and Fletcher Ford 150 PASS North event. By coming out of the gate with a victory, Clark is already hoping that this might be the season where he can score his first career PASS North championship.
“We were pretty pleased with last year. We just fell short of a goal there,” said Clark. “We worked hard on things over the winter. Sitting at home and waiting to race since October has been tough. Winning was a good way to get out there and knock the rust off.” (more…)

OXFORD, Maine – Bradley Babb of Windham, Maine, finished 14 in the PASS North Series Ripley & Fletcher Ford 150 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine, on Sunday, April 21.

Don Wentworth Ready For Next Chapter
Oxford Plains Veteran Set To Tackle New Pro Late Model Division
SOUTH PARIS, Maine – Don Wentworth can’t remember exactly how many years he’s been competing at the short track right in his backyard, but it’s safe to say he’s probably never been more excited about the start of a season than he his now.
“Absolutely,” said Wentworth, of Otisfield, Maine, who will return to Oxford Plains Speedway to compete in the track’s new Pro Late Model division in 2013. “I’m really looking forward to it. I can’t wait to get started.”
During the offseason, Wentworth hired Crazy Horse Racing to help him build a brand new chassis. He sold the Late Model he’d competed with at Oxford in recent years with his heart set on spending this winter on the new car. (more…)
