\"oxford\"<\/a>THIRD SUPER LATE MODEL WIN THIS SEASON FOR SHAWN KNIGHT AT OXFORD PLAINS SPEEDWAY
\nSouth Paris racer establishes self as local favorite for August 30 AIM Oxford 250<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oxford, Maine \u2013 Shawn Knight of South Paris won his third Budweiser Oxford Championship Series Super Late Model race of the season Saturday night, with a dominant late-race performance at Oxford Plains Speedway.<\/p>\n

It was Knight\u2019s third victory in just seven attempts this season, clearly establishing the South Paris racer as the chief hope for victory in the August 30 AIM Recycling USA Oxford 250 among weekly Budweiser Championship Series racers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Knight took command just past the halfway point from Turner teenager Gunnar Rowe, who built an healthy lead as Knight worked his way through the pack. A caution flag and restart put Knight alongside, and the veteran was just hooked up, and he drove away. Rowe held on for an impressive second-place finish. <\/p>\n

Mark Lundblad, Jr. of Conway, New Hampshire posted a career-best third-place Super Late Model finish, driving around several competitive racing machines en route to his first trophy in the top class at Oxford Plains Speedway.<\/p>\n

Buckfield\u2019s Vanna Brackett and Wayne Helliwell, Jr. of Dover, New Hampshire rounded out the top five. Rowe and current championship points leader Timmy Brackett of Buckfield won the Super Late Model heat races.<\/p>\n

Rookie Calvin Rose, Jr. of Turner came out on top after a wild, caution-filled 30-lap feature race for the Allen\u2019s Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stock division. It was the first win in the class for the former Mini Stock hotshoe.<\/p>\n

Rose\u2019s door to victory lane was opened up when the three cars in front of him got together on a restart late in the race. Rose then outran the previous week\u2019s winner, David Whittier of Poland, to the checkered flag. <\/p>\n

Joining Rose and Whittier on the podium was Rick Spaulding of Lisbon, one of the three drivers in front of the eventual winner on the fateful restart. Jonathan Emerson of Sabattus and Oxford\u2019s Josh Childs rounded out the top five. Peter Huston of Lisbon Falls and Zach Emerson of Sabattus scored heat race wins in the Street Stock division.<\/p>\n

Scott Alexander of Newburgh led flag-to-flag in the 25-lap Modified main event. The previous week\u2019s winner, Evan Armington of Lovell, pulled alongside the eventual winner at one point, but Alexander maintained his advantage until the checkered flag waved. <\/p>\n

Scott Robbins of Dixfield stayed atop the OPS Mods championship standings with a third-place finish. Ryan Phillips of Buxton and Windham\u2019s Jimmy Emerson rounded out the top five. Alexander also won the heat race.<\/p>\n

Hall of Famer Jon Lizotte prevailed once again in Wood Pellet Warehouse Figure 8 division action. Lizotte took the lead from Carthage racer Tommy Tompkins and led Tompkins to the checkered flag. Auburn\u2019s Mike St. Germain claimed the third-place trophy.<\/p>\n

Cam Childs of Leeds charged through the field in short order, then held off Bandits points leader Shaun Hinkley of Oxford to score yet another victory in his 20-lap finale. Oxford\u2019s Jacob Hall nailed down the final trophy spot in the entry-level main event. Adam O\u2019Neil of Lewiston and Hinkley won the heat races for the Bandits class.<\/p>\n

Budwesier Oxford Championship Series competition resumes on Saturday night, August 22 with the final Super Late Model race before the 42nd Annual AIM Recycling USA Oxford 250 classic, set for Sunday, August 30 at 1:30 p.m. For more information visit oxfordplains.com or call (207) 539-8865.<\/p>\n
