Kaffel, 16, started seventh in the 50-lap race. He worked his way into second position, well behind racelong leader Ryan Deane of Winterport when the lone caution flaf displayed during the race appeared with just seven laps to go.
Deane and Kaffel showed that rubbin’ is racing almost 28 years to the day that classic racing movie ‘Days of Thunder’ was released, thrilling the crowd as they swapped the lead several times in the closing laps, with Kaffel getting to the checkered flag just .068-seconds ahead of runner-up Deane.
Four-time Oxford Plains Speedway track champion Timmy Brackett of Buckfield, who also survived a paint-swapping battle versus the eventual winner, nailed down a third-place finish in what may have been the last ride for a tired racecar. TJ Brackett, a two-time OPS titlist, stayed on top of the championship standings with a fourth-place run. Austin Teras of Gray rounded out the top five. Source: Oxford Plains Speedway Press Release
