There are 19 Oxford Championship Series points events slated to take place along with 13 Oxford Acceleration Series points nights, 4 Motor Mayhem events, a Mega Monster Truck Extravaganza weekend in August, and the 1st Annual Tom Mayberry Swap Meet to close out the year.

In addition to those events, the Pro All Stars Series Super Late Models will once again return for two dates in 2013; the season opener on April 21 and Championship Weekend on September 27 and 28. Joining the Pro All Stars Series in September will be the annual Oxford Championship Series Little Guys and Oxford Acceleration Series Showdown events for what will prove to be an action packed weekend.

Austin Theriault Finishes 3rd In Governor’s Cup 200

BKR Development Driver Sees Through One Of Best Career Efforts

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. – Austin Theriault capped off a strong weekend in the Brad Keselowski Racing No. 29 Checkered Flag Foundation Dodge Charger with a third-place finish in the Governor’s Cup 200 at New Smyrna Speedway in New Smyrna Beach, Fla., on Saturday, November 17.

Theriault called the effort one of his best – from start to finish – in his year with BKR.

“If you split up a race weekend into three segments – practice, qualifying and the race – I think that would be correct,” said Theriault, whose finish was his best in 10 career starts for BKR dating back to the fall of 2011. “We felt really confident in practice that we were going to have a car that could run for win. In qualifying, there’s still a little bit more on the table that I’m trying to find, and the race went somewhat to our liking.”
