Rolfe Holds Cyr Off for Oxford ACT Victory

Home track stock car favorite Ricky Rolfe of Albany Twp., ME held off a fast-closing Jean-Paul Cyr to win the American-Canadian Tour (ACT) New England Dodge Dealers 150 at Oxford Plains Speedway on Saturday.  Cyr’s late charge was enough to bring him alongside Rolfe’s Race Basics/Swasey Excavation #51 Ford with less than ten laps remaining, but the former track champion won by about two car lengths.

“We lapped a lot of cars early, but when the field started to catch up, I had to try some new lines around the track,” said Rolfe.  “We found that the upper groove was the place to be, and it worked.”
