Three accomplished drivers recently participated in a media day event at Oxford Plains Speedway to discuss the upcoming Oxford 250 race, sharing their experiences and insights about one of Maine's most prestigious racing events. The Wednesday media session featured drivers with impressive track records at the annual competition.
Mike Rowe from Turner stands among an elite group as one of only four drivers to have won three Oxford 250 races throughout the event's history. His multiple victories place him in exclusive company among the speedway's most successful competitors. Eddie MacDonald achieved back-to-back victories in 2009 and 2010, demonstrating consistent excellence during those consecutive years at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Kate Re from Norway made history in 2020 when she became the first female driver to qualify for a spot in the Oxford 250 feature race. Her groundbreaking achievement marked a significant milestone for women's participation in the prestigious racing event. The media day provided an opportunity for these three drivers to reflect on their experiences and discuss the upcoming competition.
The event was covered through video documentation by Cooper Sullivan from the Times Record, capturing the drivers' perspectives and commentary about the race. Additional coverage and detailed information about the Oxford 250 media day was made available through extended reporting on the event.
The Oxford 250 continues to attract attention from racing enthusiasts and media outlets, maintaining its status as a premier racing event. While some notable drivers like Cole Butcher will not be participating in this year's race, the competition remains open to returning participants in future events, ensuring the tradition continues for years to come.
