Who to Watch For: With 44 cars attempting to qualify, it’s tough to pick a handful of drivers to watch here today, but we’ll take a swing at it. Travis Benjamin and his team are too good to ignore at any track, specifically at Oxford where he has won two Oxford 250s. Fans should also keep an eye on Joey Doiron, a driver who hasn’t had the best luck as of late but is due to break out with a big victory. We’d also keep an eye on Cassius Clark to see how the former PASS champion and his old team, Hight Motorsports, comes out of the gate in their first race back together.

 

Title Fight: Defending champion DJ Shaw leads Derek Ramstrom by five points entering today’s race.

 

The Track: Oxford Plains Speedway is a 3/8-mile flat oval located in Oxford, Maine. The track hosts the prestigious Oxford 250 each year.

 

Weather: It’s an absolutely perfect day for racing in Maine with temperatures in the 60s with sunshine and bright blue skies above the race track.

 

Next Series Race: PASS will host the annual PASS 300 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway (ME) next Saturday, April 29.
