Veteran driver Sam Sessions Gets The Call Behind The Wheel As “Aspire Higher” Program Comes To Fruition This Weekend
SOUTH PARIS, Maine – No matter what happens in the Oxford 250, a group of Oxford Hills Middle School students will see this weekend as a success.
Veteran Sam Sessions of South Paris, Maine, will enter the “Aspire Higher” No. 0 Oxford Hills Middle School Chevrolet in the 40th annual TD Bank Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine, on Sunday, July 21. It will mark Sessions’ first race at Oxford Plains in seven years, and it comes in a car that has a very special background.
Oxford Hills Middle School students in the school’s “Aspire Higher” program have joined Crazy Horse Racing owner Mitch Green over the last two years in taking the No. 0 car from an idea to a reality.

Masterson Claims First Late Model Win
Devil’s Bowl Rookie Extends Point Lead With 30-Lap Feature Victory
SOUTH PARIS, Maine – Josh Masterson isn’t one to play the waiting game, either on the track or off it.
Last Friday night at Devil’s Bowl Speedway in West Haven, Vt., the 22-year-old driver from Bristol, Vt., held off all challengers over the final 20 laps to win his first career NASCAR Whelen All-American Series 30-lap Late Model feature at the track. Masterson extended his point lead with the Mid-Season Championship victory.
“I have high expectations for myself,” said Masterson, who has three straight Top-3 finishes. “I’ve never just settled for second-best. When we first started talking about doing the Late Model thing, everybody told me it was probably going to take three or four years to get up front as far as the weekly stuff. I told them if that was the case, I wasn’t going to do it.”
