Amsoil NELCAR Legends Tour: John Peters
Oxford Plains Speedway Race Report
SCARBOROUGH, Maine – John Peters of Westbrook, Maine, finished sixth in the Amsoil NELCAR Legends Tour 25-lap event at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine, on Saturday, June 1. Peters started 11th in the field and worked his way up to the Top-5 in quick fashion on a track notoriously tough to pass. Peters had raced all the way to the third position in the closing laps when the two leaders tangled in front of him, momentarily giving him the lead. He was shuffled back on the final restart and settled for the Top-10 finish – his fourth in as many starts to begin his rookie season on the Tour. Peters and the rest of the Amsoil NELCAR Legends Tour heads to Star Speedway for the first time in 2013 on Saturday, June 8.

The calendar may have said June 1st, but Saturday night at Wiscasset Speedway had more of a feel like mid August. The heat & humidity added to the action on the track which produced a pair of popular first time winners. Kevin Douglass of Sidney, a former ministock champion & Driver of the Year, returned to Wiscasset for the first time this season and took a hard fought victory in the Prostocks. Wiscasset’s James Osmond picked up an emotional first career win in the Super Stock division. Their victories highlighted a full program of racing action at Maine’s Fastest track. Gorham’s David Patten was also honored as Wiscasset Speedway’s May 2013 Napa Auto Parts Driver of the Month. He celebrated in victory lane with track owners Richard & Vanessa Jordan and a group of midcoast area school students being honored for their hard work.

“Next time it’s mine” the elder Brackett chimed in.
