Mike Rowe of Turner, ME raced to his 151st Oxford Plains Speedway main event win, earning a trip to victory lane in his maiden voyage aboard Peter Petit’s lucky number 7 in AIM Recycling Pro All Stars Series Super Late Model competition at the Oxford, ME speedplant on Sunday afternoon, while Joey ‘Pole’ Polewarczyk prevailed in the co-headlining ACT Late Model Tour 150-lapper.

Rowe, a 64-year-old veteran, multi-time track champion and all-around legend at the speedway where he was a track titlist a full four decades ago, waged a race-long battle with reigning series champion D.J. Shaw of Conway, NH for supremacy in a thrilling 150-lapper for the ultra-quick AIM Super Late Models.

Shaw kept the pressure on through much of the opening day test, yet Rowe was able to slam the door shut and keep it that way, earning his first trip to victory lane in his first start with Petit, clearly a career highlight for the car owner.

Tony Ricci was fast all day long and raced to a career-best third-place finish in the AIM Recycling Pro All Stars Series Super Late Model class.

David Oliver overcame a disadvantageous starting position to post a fourth-place finish after some outstanding work in the cockpit in the HP Hood 21. Garrett Hall impressed with an outstanding fifth-place finish in the Super Late Model finale.

Cassius Clark, Reid Lanpher, Joey Dorion, Brian Hoar Bobby Therrien rounded out the top ten.

Joey Polewarczyk of Merrimack, NH led wire-to-wire in the 150-lap co-headline race for the American-Canadian Tour Late Models presented by Dave’s Small Engine and Walker Mowers.

Polewarczyk’s chief rival en route to the checkered flag was Wayne Helliwell, Jr., who claimed runner-up honors after several tough battles from his ninth starting position aboard the Bruce Berharndt Ford.

Nick Sweet nailed down a third-place finish after pressuring the eventual winner for a healthy portion of the 150-lapper.

Perhaps the most impressive drive of the day in the ACT race was turned in by Emily Packard, who raced wheel-to-wheel throughout the event to move from 20th starting position to end up in fourth position.

Jimmy Herbert rounded out the top five in the ACT 150.

Reigning and multi-time PASS Mod kingpin Andy Shaw of Center Conway, New Hampshire kicked off his title defense with the Sumner Sessions-owned zero team in championship style, scoring the top step on the podium following a competitive 35-lapper for the PASS open-wheelers.

Shaw’s closest rival under the checkered flag was Scott Alexander, with fourth-generation OPS hotshoe Ryan Robbins grabbing the final trophy. Doug McClure crossed the finish line in fourth position, followed by heat race winner Matt Sanborn of Westbrook.

In the 25-lap main event for Street Stocks, Josh Childs got an early jump on Zach Emerson and fended off several challenges from Emerson to kick off his season in triumphant fashion. Calvin Rose, Jr. outgunned Keith Stuart in a race-long battle for third position, and the final trophy offered. Richard Spaulding rounded out the top five.

Anthony Nocella raced from the back of the pack into victory lane in a non-stop 30-lap feature event for the Wicked Cool Midgets. Kevin Hutchens took advantage of a front row starting spot and built an impressive lead while Nocella patiently moved into contention, making his winning move with only a couple of laps remaining. D.J. Moniz claimed the final podium position.
