OXFORD, Maine – The fans watched Ricky Morse seemingly become the ninth different winner in 12 Oxford Networks Late Model features this season Saturday night at Oxford Plains Speedway.
The technical inspection staff discovered something different, awarding Tim Brackett the 40-lap victory after Morse was disqualified for an illegal carburetor spacer in his ride.
Brackett became only the second repeat winner of the season in Oxford’s top division, joining four-time winner Travis Adams.
Don Wentworth held off Adams’ charge at the line for what would become second. Jeff White wound up fourth, with Shawn Knight fifth.
Skip Tripp’s bid for a record-shattering 19th career Allen’s Coffee Flavored Brandy Strictly Stock victory fell one spot shy and was stymied by a rookie.
Rick Spaulding borrowed the Dennis Dee memorial #88D and led wire-to-wire for the 30-lap win, his first in the Championship Series.
Tripp took second, followed by Mike St. Germain, Matt Williams and Larry Emerson.
Spaulding was the second rookie to find victory lane on the evening.
When leaders Jimmy Childs and Darrell Moore tangled at the front of the Allen’s Mini Stock field, rookie Calvin Rose Jr. was in the right place to inherit his second straight 30-lap triumph.
Rose denied a late charge from point leader Justin Karkos to score the victory. Defending champion Ashley Marshall completed the top three, trailed by first-year Mini competitor Jake Burns and Larry Melcher.
Guy Childs stormed to his second Chimney Tech Outlaw victory of the season, breezing to the front in an action-packed, 20-lap encounter.
Steve Moon emerged from a nine-car battle for second with Josh Childs, Chris Burgess and Jerry Freve giving chase.
Dottie Patria tightened her grip on a likely second straight Agren Appliance Saturday Showdown title with her sixth Allen’s Ladies victory of the season.
Tori Burgess and Missy Morgan continued the theme of terrific nights for rookies, finishing second and third. Missy Blash was fourth with Annie Chartier a career-best fifth.
OPS will crank it up four straight nights next week, starting with the Acceleration Series on Wednesday. The Agren Summer Slam will run its championship round Thursday, followed by the JARRacing Photography Go Kart Series championship night and triple features Friday and the Championship Series. Starting time each night is 6:30 p.m.

OXFORD, Maine – Skip Tripp took his place in the Oxford Plains Speedway history books Saturday night with a convincing victory in the Time Warner Cable 100 for the Allen’s Coffee Flavored Brandy Strictly Stock division.
Tripp’s third straight win and sixth of the season ran his career total in the class to 18, tying the unrelated “KimDog” Tripp and Shane “The Destroyer” Green for the top spot on the division’s all-time list.
It was a spin-and-win for Tripp, who lost an overwhelming lead to Jon Brill after tangling with the lapped car of Mike St. Germain just prior to the halfway point. Tripp returned to the track in second spot, then received a reprieve when the lone caution flag of the race flew for a piece of debris on the backstretch at lap 49.
The resumption belonged to Tripp, and he pulled away to nearly a full straightaway lead before coasting across the finish line a second in front of rival Mike Short.
“Last week (Short) said Nick Hoyt helped me to win, so I guess this week St. Germain (tried to help) him to win,” Tripp said. “It’s just an ongoing thing with us, but whatever.”
Short also entered the race with five wins and remained second in the points, making an impressive late drive around Larry Emerson and Brill to claim the runner-up trophy.
“Nobody sees what goes on out back (in the pit), but if we didn’t love it, we wouldn’t be here doing it,” Short said of his continuing on-and-off-track battle with Tripp.
Brill led the race on two different occasions before settling for third, the best finish of the season for the 2000 division champion. Emerson claimed fourth, with rookie Hoyt matching a career-best in fifth by holding off two-time champion Jim Duguay.
Travis Adams remained the lone repeat winner of the Oxford Networks Late Model campaign in style. Adams padded his point lead in pursuit of a fifth division championship with his fourth checkered flag of the campaign, taking the lead from upset-minded Gary Chiasson with 15 laps remaining.
Adams rebounded one week after his first finish out of the top five (ninth) all season.
“Our set-up guy, which is me, made some changes and obviously didn’t know what he was doing,” Adams said. “We went back to the way it was before, and thankfully we picked up where we left off. I’m looking forward to the rest of the season.”
Don Wentworth protected his newfound grip on second place in the point standings with a runner-up finish.
“It’s a been a great season. It would be better if Travis might take a Saturday night off to go to a family reunion or something,” Wentworth joked.
Tommy Ricker posted his third straight podium finish in third, followed by Tim Brackett. Chiasson edged Corey Morgan at the stripe for fifth.
Calvin Rose Jr. earned his first career Allen’s Mini Stock feature win the hard way. The rookie took the lead from Ken Daigle Jr. early in the event, then spent the second half of the 30-lapper with point leader and six-time feature winner Justin Karkos nipping at his heels.
Rose responded to the challenge and maintained his one-car length advantage until the checkers.
“It’s been a while since I’ve had one of these,” said Rose, who was a winner in the four-cylinder Macdonald Motors Runnin’ Rebel division in the Acceleration Series. “I have to thank my father most of all. He does so much work on this car, or I never would be up here.”
Karkos hasn’t finished out of the top four since a flat tire knocked him out of the lead in the second race of the season.
“Calvin earned that one.” Karkos said. “I’ve had motor problems all season, so I finally pulled it out and sent it to Butler & MacMaster this week. They gave me priority over everyone else and promised me it would be ready for this weekend. I got it back at 5:30 Friday afternoon, so I owe this one to Spencer Robbins and Dave MacMaster.”
Butch Keene credited used tires loaned by Rose and Karkos for his third-place finish. Jake Burns kept pace with Rose in the tense Rookie of the Year battle, nipping Kevin Bishop in the scrap for fourth.
Acceleration Series Agren Appliance Saturday Showdown competition produced two repeat winners.
Kevin Oliver extended his winning streak to four races in Call of the Wild RV Center Sport Truck action. Ryan Hewins, a 17-year-old rookie and the fourth member of his immediate family to win at OPS, bagged his second Runnin’ Rebel triumph in less than a month.
Oliver ascended to the top spot when Brad Corson — a relief driver for suspended “Flyin” Ryan Farrar, was disqualified after the post-race inspection.
Corey Williams moved up to second, the best finish of his extensive career, with rookie Jeremy Wagner posting his second third-place finish of the campaign.
Jeff Schmidt and John Lizotte recovered from a mid-race tangle to run fourth and fifth, respectively. Oliver accepted blame for their contact.
“I made a dumb move and got into the 22 (Schmidt),” said the winner. “I don’t like to race that way.”
One month ago, Hewins debuted a Honda that looks like a twin to the rocket steered by his point leader uncle Kyle. With Kyle twice veering off the track due to contact with other cars, Ryan saw no challengers after accelerating into the lead at the halfway point.
Derek Cook turned out his frustrating season, leading early before picking up second-place honors. Scott Farrington made a determined drive to third in the outside lane, with reigning Showdown champion Troy Jordan fourth and Jeff Hebert fifth.
Kyle Hewins settled for eighth in the 21-car field.
OPS returns to action Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. with a full card of Acceleration Series action. WOXO Night is on tap for the Championship Series next Saturday, August 15 at 6:30 p.m.

OXFORD, Maine – Travis Stearns became the eighth different winner in 10 Oxford Networks Late Model features this season, leading from wire-to-wire to post his third career victory in the 40-lap main event of the annual Summer Celebration at Oxford Plains Speedway.
“I was lucky to start where I did, because the car wasn’t that good,” said Stearns, who could have fooled everyone else in that regard, considering his two-second margin of victory. “I wasn’t even going to race tonight, but the crew put this thing back together (after a crash) Thursday night, and here we are.”
Ben Ashline took over second position from Gerald Parlin just shy of the halfway point. Without a caution period to wipe out Stearns lead, however, the 18-year-old was forced to settle for second.
That matched a career best.
“Again, that’s like a win for us to be up here on the podium with these guys,” Ashline said.
The lead trifecta in Thursday night’s special charged to third, fourth and fifth. Tommy Ricker backed up his win by racing to the final trophy position, with Don Wentworth fourth and Jeff White fifth.
Division point leader Travis Adams was relegated to ninth, his first finish outside the top five all season.
Skip Tripp extended his Allen’s Coffee Flavored Brandy Strictly Stock point lead, posting his fifth victory of the season after another terrific tussle with rival and division runner-up Mike Short.
It was Tripp’s second win of the week after an easier triumph in the Thursday 60-lap special. Matt Williams matched his best run of the season in third, followed by Zach Emerson and his father Larry Emerson.
Steve Barker continued his mid-season surge, snagging his second Allen’s Mini Stock victory of the campaign in convincing fashion.
Barker bolted from fourth to first in less than 3/8 of a mile after a lap 5 restart, taking away the top spot from Ken Daigle Jr.
Jimmy Childs was second, followed by division point leader Justin Karkos, defending champion Ashley Marshall and rookie Calvin Rose Jr.
Jim Davis Jr. and Chris Coolidge were conquerors in twin 20-lap Chimney Tech Outlaw events. Davis’ win was the fourth of the season for the past champion, while Coolidge paid his first visit to victory lane this summer.
Guy Childs emerged from a tremendous scrap for second behind Davis, with great-nephew Josh Childs making an outside rally from sixth to third over the final three laps. John Patria and Addison Bowie rounded out the top five.
Coolidge eased to a caution-free win over Doug Degroat and Jerry Freve. Todd Hall and Phil Knowlton followed.
