Coolidge Continues No Repeats in OPS Pro Late Models

By admin July 4, 2014 Oxford Plains

OXFORD, ME — Oxford Plains Speedway finally defeated Mother Nature this past Friday night, July 3rd, and a solid crowd enjoyed a fantastic night of racing and the giant fireworks display on Ripley & Fletcher Ford night. Visiting Allen’s Coffee Flavored Brandy victory lane were Chris Coolidge, Corey Morgan, Troy Jordan and Derek Cairns.

Chris Coolidge passed race leader Donnie Wentworth on lap 24 and looked to be on cruise control until Trevor Sanborn ran him down and drove underneath him on lap 40. Coolidge regrouped and drove back around Sanborn on lap 45, and cruised home for the win. Sanborn hung on for second and Donnie Wentworth outraced Shawn Martin for third. Fifth through tenth included Justin Drake, TJ Brackett, Scott McDaniel, Tim Brackett, Jeremy Davis and Scott Farrington. Heat checkers flew for Wentworth, Kyle Treadwell and Tim Brackett.

Corey Morgan ran and hid from the Allen’s Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stocks field as he easily outdistanced Richard Spaulding, Kyle Hewins, John Childs and last week’s winner, Ryan Hewins. Morgan also captured the qualifying heat.

Troy Jordan padded his point lead in the Ripley & Fletcher Ford Outlaw Sportsman 25 lap main event as he bolted to the lead on lap six and never looked back. Missy Morgan had a career best finish with a solid runner-up position as she held off hard charges from Michael Haynes, and Shannon Judd. Joe Morey completed the top five. Troy Jordan carried the heat checkers.

The Bandito’s feature was claimed by first time winner Derek Cairns. Greg Sessions, Dan Wade, Shawn Hinkley and Robert Kahkonen rounded out the top five. Cam Childs was DQ’d from his third place finish for unsportsmanlike conduct in victory lane.

Oxford Plains Speedway will return to action on Friday night, July 11th as NAPA Auto Parts will sponsor the night’s activities, the final tune-up event before the Oxford 250 on July 20th. There will be a full card of racing including Pro Late Models, Street Stocks, Outlaw Sportsman and Bandito’s plus a Kid’s Poster Contest. Post time is 7:30pm.
