151ST career main event win for Hall of Famer tops busy racing card
Oxford, ME – Mike Rowe of Turner, Maine raced to his 151st Oxford Plains Speedway main event win, earning a trip to victory lane in his maiden voyage aboard Peter Petit’s lucky number 7 in AIM Recycling Pro All Stars Series Super Late Model competition at Oxford Plains Speedway on Sunday afternoon, while Joey ‘Pole’ Polewarczyk prevailed in the co-headlining ACT Late Model Tour 150-lapper.
Rowe, a 64-year-old veteran, multi-time track champion and all-around legend at the speedway where he was a track titlist a full four decades ago, waged a race-long battle with reigning series champion DJ Shaw of Conway, New Hampshire for supremacy in a thrilling 150-lapper for the ultra-quick AIM Super Late Models.

Waterbury, VT – A joint announcement between the American Canadian Tour (ACT) and the Pro ALL Stars Series (PASS) last November came as great news throughout the short track industry, particularly in the Northeast. Principals Tom Curley (ACT) and Tom Mayberry (PASS) decided that, after a decade of competing against each other in the region, it was time to re-energize the region’s full-fendered stock car racing competitors and their fans. They formed a working alliance for the 2015 season.

A major announcement from Oxford Plains Speedway, Route 26 in Oxford, Maine has been released to the general public stating that Oxford Plains Speedway will be switching their Friday night, Budweiser Oxford Championship Series racing over to Saturdays on August 2, 2014.
Oxford Plains Speedway President Tom Mayberry confirmed the announcement stating the following; “After much deliberation, we have made the decision to switch our Friday night program to Saturday nights beginning on Saturday, August 2, 2014. We have done everything possible to make our Friday night show work, but unfortunately the numbers in the grandstands just haven’t increased enough to make it sustainable. One of the biggest complaints that we have received about Friday night racing is that people from more than an hour away can’t seem to get here in time for the races. By the time they get out of work, get home and relax over dinner, they are totally rushed and many just stay home. We feel that everyone can make it out to the track on a Saturday night, and not be as hurried. We are hoping this will increase the number of fans at OPS weekly. We have an unbelievable show on Friday nights, and we think it will only get better. Several drivers are unable to get to the track on Fridays as their work schedule does not allow for them to get here, and this should also add to our solid car counts, making us even stronger and more appealing to the race fan.”
