Clavet claims first in Outlaw; Goss breaks through in Rebel; Heath's streak stopped by John Childs on busy night at OPS
OXFORD, Maine – Fred Clavet said his pit crew completely overhauled the motor in his #71 Chimney Tech Outlaw ride after another frustrating run two weeks ago.
Guess it was worth the trouble. Clavet, a rookie in the Acceleration Series, dominated the opening round of three 20-lap Outlaw features Wednesday night for his first career victory at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Jerry Goss has experienced the thrill of victory before, but Wednesday's triumph in the Macdonald Motors Runnin' Rebel opener was his first in that four-cylinder class after a successful run in the Call of the Wild RV Center Sport Truck division.
In other action, John and Guy Childs family continued their extended family's phenomenal 2007 run at OPS. John ended Jamie Heath's 10-race winning streak in the Crazy Horse Racing Engines Renegade ranks, while Guy became the first four-time Outlaw winner of the season in the high-point nightcap.
Gordon Bell also was a winner in Outlaw competition, with Gregg Norton and Kyle Hewins returning to victory lane in the Runnin' Rebel group. Hewins' second straight victory pulled him into a tie with Tyson Jordan for the division point lead with only one race remaining next Wednesday night.
Rick Hebert (Truck) and Patty Brannon (Allen's Coffee Flavored Brandy Ladies) also prevailed on a busy card.
