\"400-opslogo\"Oxford, Maine \u2013 TJ Brackett of Buckfield prevailed over his best friend, Shawn Knight of South Paris, in a thrilling Budweiser Championship Series Super Late Model main event Saturday<\/span> night at Oxford Plains Speedway.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While the race winner made his division-leading third trip to victory lane this season it was his father, Tim Brackett, scoring the big prize, claiming his second straight track championship.\u00a0 It was the fourth Oxford Plains Speedway championship for the Oxford native currently residing in Buckfield.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TJ Brackett started 11th<\/sup> and wasted little time getting to the front of the field to set up an extended battle with Knight throughout the 50-lap race.\u00a0 Knight earned runner-up honors, with Jay\u2019s Dave Farrington, Jr. third under the checkered flag after leading the opening laps in the event.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Scott Moore of Anson raced hard with the frontrunners all race long and ended up in fourth position.\u00a0 Scarborough\u2019s Garrett Hall rounded out the top five, followed by Reid Lanpher of Manchester, Shawn Martin of Turner, Scott Robbins of Dixfield, Dennis Spencer, Jr. of Oxford and the new and old champion Brackett in tenth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Skip Tripp of South Paris battled hard to get the Rachel Dubois 21 into victory lane, leading early and leading late in a 30-lap test of supremacy in the Allen\u2019s Coffee Flavored Street Stock class.\u00a0 Tripp, one-handing his ride with a cast rendering his right hand all but useless, held off Oxford\u2019s Gerard Cote in the closing laps.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bryce Mains of Naples raced hard alongside the winner for much of the race before crossing the finish line in second position.\u00a0 A third-place finish was more than enough to clinch the Allen\u2019s Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stock title for Turner\u2019s Calvin Rose, Jr.\u00a0 David Whittier of West Poland was fourth, followed by Norway\u2019s Jordan Russell.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jamie Heath of Waterford wrapped up an impressive championship season in the MacDonald Motors of Bridgton Bandits class, outrunning all his foes with seeming ease in the 20-lap finale for the entry-level Budweiser Championship Series event.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gerard Cote of Oxford was the best of the rest in the Bandits race, chased by championship runner=up Tyler Green of Turner.\u00a0 Oxford\u2019s Charlie Hall and Josh Knoll of Mechanic Falls rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maine stock car racing Hall of Famer Jon Lizotte, 67, announced another retirement in victory lane after yet another impressive triumph in a 15-lap race to wrap up his second straight championship in what\u2019s in all reality a third childhood\u00a0 in Ariens\/Gravely\/Dave\u2019s Small Engines Figure 8 competition.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lizotte\u2019s final win came in dramatic fashion, stealing victory on the final lap away from Josh Varney from Leeds.\u00a0 Varney\u2019s runner-up finish was a career-best, and Lizotte\u2019s last-lap score did not ruin his night.\u00a0 Greg Durgin of South Paris claimed the third-place trophy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ronnie Moon of North Yarmouth, a proven winner in the top class at the speedway decades ago, returned to victory lane for the first time in recent memory, acing the 25-lap finale for the NAPA OAS WalMart Outlaws.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

George Haskell of Casco was the best of the rest in both the race and the battle for the track championship.\u00a0 Andy King of Portland led a lot of laps en route to a third-place finish in front of Guy Childs from Leeds.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gary Babineau of Hollis Center rounded out the top five and wrapped up the 2016 NAPA Acceleration Series WalMart Outlaw Championship.\u00a0 Babineau and his car, numbered 2, were clearly the car to beat every time the class was in competition at the historic Route 26 oval track.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brandon Varney of Auburn turned back all challengers to ace the 20-lap main event for the NAPA OAS Runnin\u2019 Rebel division.\u00a0 Cody Childs of Auburn\u00a0 and Buckfield\u2019s Matthew Mahar claimed the final trophies in an ultra-competitive race.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dustin Salley of Poland was in fourth position when the checkered flag waved, and he wrapped up the 2016+ NAPA OAS Runnin\u2019 Rebebl division crown with that performance.\u00a0 Cam Childs of Leeds rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Adrianna \u2018Addie\u2019 McDaniel, 16, of Bridgton, showed both boys and men the quick way around the historic Oxford Plains Speedway oval with an impressive romp into victory lane following a dominant performance in a 20-lap main event for the Cruiser class.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Michael McKinney of Berlin, New Hampshire was closing in on Addie when the checkered flag waved, but his runner-up finish was more than enough to nail down the NAPA OAS Cruiser Championship.\u00a0 John Childs of Leeds claimed the final trophy, with the top five filled out by Paul Rowe of South Paris and Oxford\u2019s Phil Knowlton.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ryan Farrar of Livermore Falls bounced back from recent misfortunes to win the 20-lap Sport Truck race.\u00a0 Corey Williams of Sumner claimed runner-up honors in the unusually-competitive pack of frontrunners.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mark Grantham of Casco, Ryan Hewins of Leeds and Sanford\u2019s Kristopher Knox rounded out the top five.\u00a0 The 2016 NAPA Acceleration Series Sport Truck Champion is Ajay Cates of Biddeford, the sixth-place finisher.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kathryn Childs of Leeds prevailed in the 20-lap finale for Allen\u2019s Coffee Flavored Brandy Ladies division competitors.\u00a0 Childs inherited the race lead when Maggie Ferland\u2019s car would not fire following a red flag period, forcing a stop in the pit area with only a couple of laps remaining.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Childs and Breanna Spaulding of Lisbon outran Ferland to the checkered flag.\u00a0 Green\u2019s Susan Veinott and Chloe Kiley of South Paris rounded out the top five.\u00a0 Ferland earned the 2016 Allen\u2019s Coffee Flavored Brandy Ladies division championship by a comfortable margin.<\/p>\n
