Babb, the reigning 2012 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Maine state champion, won the pole position for the event after running away with his qualifying heat, and the No. 14 Babb Wood Contractors\/McGoldrick Bros. Blasting Chevrolet ran inside the Top-10 throughout the event before being shuffled back on a late-race restart in the outside groove. Still, the finish marked Babb&#8217;s best career Oxford Plains Speedway Super Late Model finish and was a good testing ground for the TD Bank Oxford 250 later this summer.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><b>WHO: <\/b>Bradley Babb, Windham, Maine<b><br \/>\nTEAM: <\/b>No. 14 Babb Wood Contractors\/McGoldrick Bros.
