OPS – Ricker Goes From Back to Front – Marshall Survives Mini Stock Melee

Ricker Goes From Back to Front

Marshall Survives Mini Stock Melee

OXFOR, Maine – Two Lap Tommy Ricker held true to his nickname, as he completed a pass on the outside of Jeff White for the lead with just two laps remaining, on his way to the win on Sunoco Race Fuels Night. Ricker charged from his starting spot in the second to last row, and worked his #6 Oxford Network Late Model up to ninth just 13 laps into the race. Jeff White took the early lead, taking off from his outside pole starting spot to take the point. Two yellow flags involving Gary Chiasson, brought the field together and negated the lead White had opened up on the rest of the field. On the lap 34 restart, Ricker drew alongside White, and beat him to the line before completing the pass a few laps later. Jeff White finished second after leading ¾ of the race. Tim Brackett piloted his ill-handling car to a solid third place run.
