Rain Forces Postponement of Applebee’s Night at Oxford Plains Speedway
OXFORD, ME — Once again bad weather has forced the management to pull the plug for racing at Oxford Plains Speedway for Friday night, June 13th. A forecast of 80% chance of showers, heavy rains, and severe thunderstorms prompted the decision.
Track Vice President Michael Mayberry stated, “The forecast just looks horrible, and with such a big night of racing planned it’s the right thing to do. Applebee’s Night featured our own Budweiser Pro Late Models, Allen’s Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stocks, Ripley & Fletcher Ford Outlaw Sportsman, Bandits, and the all new Dave’s Small Engine Repair, PASS Northeast Late Model Series featuring the Husqvarna 100. With racecars coming from throughout New England for the PASS Series event, we wanted to let them know well ahead of time so that they didn’t waste a lot of dollars making the trek, and then getting rained out. We are working on a rain date as we speak and it will be announced in the very near future.”
The next event on the calendar will be the NAPA Show, Shine & Drag scheduled rain or shine, for Sunday, June 15th at 9am. The Father’s Day event will feature a wide variety of show cars, motorcycles, hot rods, antique tractors, one lunger engines, and of course drag racing. This year’s NAPA Show, Shine, & Drag will also feature a beer garden, and a chicken and ribs barbeque. Registration for the NAPA Show, Shine & Drag will begin at 7am.
