PASS North Season Opener at Oxford Rescheduled for April 26 April 2, 2014 Regional OXFORD, ME – It’s been a long hard winter throughout the Northeast and that has caused Pro All Stars Series President Tom Mayberry to move Oxford Plains Speedway’s scheduled season opener the PASS North Ripley & Fletcher Ford 150 from Saturday, April 12, 2014 to Saturday, April 26 at 2pm. The opening weekend now becomes a doubleheader with the PASS North race on Saturday and the $7,000 to win Colossal Carnage 150 Enduro on Sunday. “We knew it was risky scheduling the opener in early April, but the past few seasons have allowed us to open up earlier as warm weather has graced us in late February and early March,” said Mayberry. “Right now we still have several inches of snow on the grounds, and even with warm weather, we don’t feel the grounds will dry up enough to allow the event to be held on April 12. We want to make sure to give plenty of advanced notice to our race teams, race fans, and employees, and that’s why we decided to make this decision well in advance of the event.” With the opening date changed to April 26, this will give teams like 2013 champion Cassius Clark, runner-up Joey Doiron, DJ Shaw, Johnny Clark, Ben Rowe and a host of others a couple of more weeks to fine tune their racers. Joining the PASS Super Late Models will be the PASS Mods, PASS Sportsman and the NELCAR Legends. Post time for the Saturday event will be 2pm. For tickets and info call 207-539-8865; the office is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oxford Plains Speedway is located on Route 26 in Oxford, Maine.
