\"oxford\"<\/a>SHAWN KNIGHT BEST IN SUPER LATE MODELS AT OXFORD PLAINS SPEEDWAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oxford, Maine — Shawn Knight of South Paris nailed down his second victory of the season Saturday in the Budweiser Champion Series Super Late Model 50-lap race, topping the Small Business Appreciation Night card at Oxford Plains Speedway.<\/p>\n

It was no gift for Knight, deftly working his way from well back on the starting grid to get by Turner\u2019s Gunnar Rowe, who led more than half the distance en route to a seventh-place finish. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Buckfield\u2019s Kyle Treadwell made a late charge past several competitive cars to earn an impressive, second-place finish. Six-time PASS North Super Late Model champion Johnny Clark of Farmingdale claimed third-place hardware.<\/p>\n

Buckfield\u2019s Timmy Brackett, currently atop the championship standings in the top class at OPS, crossed the line in fourth position, followed by Scott Robbins of Dixfield. Charlie Colby of Newcastle and main event winner Knight scored victories in preliminary, 12-lap heat races.<\/p>\n

Matty Sanborn of Westbrook scored a career-first Oxford Plains Speedway feature race win in the 25-lap main event for OPS Mods. Sanborn was chased in the early stages of the race by New England racing Hall of Famer Robbie Crouch, then pushed to the checkered flag by the division\u2019s current championship points leader, Ryan Robbins of Dixfield. Scott Alexander of Newburgh claimed third-place hardware, in front of Turner rookie Nik Coates and West Baldwin\u2019s Randy Sanborn. The Matt Sanborn also won the heat race.<\/p>\n

Matt Williams of Brownfield romped to victory in the 30-lap feature race for Allen\u2019s Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stocks. Johnathon Emerson of Sabattus led the race until Willaims took command, then held on for a second-place finish. Zach Emerson of Sabattus, Bryce Mains of Naples and a hartd-charging Gary Davis from Harrison rounded out the top five. Williams and Mains won heat races.<\/p>\n

Maine Racing Hall of Famer Jon Lizotte from Mechanic Falls prevailed once again in the 15-lap race for Wood Pellet Warehouse Figure 9 division competitors. Fellow 100-race OPS winner David Smith of South Paris knocked some more rust off with a runner-up performance, with Auburn\u2019s \u2018Angel Warrior,\u2019 Mike St. Germain nailing down a third-place finish in front of Minot\u2019s Geoff Lowe and Eric Hodgkins of Auburn.<\/p>\n

Oxford\u2019s Jacob Hall romped to victory in both his heat race and the main event for the Bandits class, 20 laps in duration. Before the night\u2019s action was underway Hall made it known that his efforts were dedicated to Adam Kenney, who was at his last OPS race before a four-year hitch in the Navy kicks off this week.<\/p>\n

Troy Smith of Bridgton led before Hall went by, then held on for runner-up honors. Dan Wade of New Gloucester claimed third-place hardware. Cam Childs of Leeds and Turner\u2019s Tyler Green rounded out the top five. Hall and Green won heat races earlier in the evening.<\/p>\n
