Rolfe Rides Hot Streak into ACT Event at Oxford Plains Speedway

OXFORD, ME – Maine Late Model stock car racing star Ricky Rolfe
is riding a seemingly unstoppable wave of momentum, one that he
expects to continue through the American-Canadian Tour's Dunkin'
Donuts 150 at Oxford Plains Speedway on Saturday (June 21) at 6:30pm.
The Albany Township racer has won the last two weekly Late Model
events at the 3/8-mile Oxford oval, and won the ACT New England Dodge
Dealers 150 at the track in April.
"I love it when ACT comes to town," Rolfe said confidently, and
with good reason: Rolfe is one of only two Oxford regulars to have
multiple ACT Late Model Tour victories. His first came in 2002, and
he also has a runner-up finish to his credit against the Tour
regulars.
"The longer races are a fun challenge," said the two-time
Oxford Plains Speedway Track Champion. "Even qualifying is big
challenge. The 'plus/minus' qualifying system is exciting and really
makes you work hard to pass a lot of cars. My goal with ACT is always
to get in the show. Once I'm in, then I can relax and have some fun
and try to win the race."
The all-time ACT vs. OPS series leans in favor of ACT Late
Model Tour drivers, 10-6, but Oxford regulars Rolfe and Travis Adams
(in October 2007) have won the two most recent ACT events at the
track. Rolfe and Adams will be joined at the Dunkin' Donuts 150 by
Oxford home-trackers Shawn Martin, Dale Verrill, Billy Childs, Jr.,
and Travis Stearns among others. Adams, Childs, and Stearns each own
weekly-event victories at OPS in 2008.
ACT Late Model Tour stars hoping to take back the winner's
trophy include point leader Scott Payea of Vermont, winner of the most
recent ACT event at Waterford (CT) Speedbowl, former Oxford winner
Randy Potter of New Hampshire, and Maine natives Ron Henry of New
Gloucester, Glen Luce of Turner, and Leon Heckbert of Wilton. A host
of Canadian racers is also expected, including Patrick Laperle, Donald
Theetge, Karl Allard, and rookie Jonathan Urlin.
Green flag qualifying action for the Dunkin' Donuts 150 begins
at 6:30pm on Saturday, June 21. Oxford Plains Speedway is located on
