Oxford Championship Series Race Report
OXFORD, Maine – Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, Maine, finished 15th in the Oxford Championship Series 40-lap Late Model event at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine, on Saturday, July 2. Despite finishing fifth in his first-round heat race, Oxford’s handicapping system dictated that Theriault would start deep in the 30-car field in 21st. Without the benefit of a caution flag in event, Theriault had to pick his way through traffic on his way to the 15th-place finish in a tuneup for the TD Bank Oxford 250 in three weeks.
