Curtis Gerry wins 44th Oxford 250 (WITH VIDEO)OXFORD — Defending Beech Ridge Motor Speedway Pro Series champion Curtis Gerry drove outside of Scott McDaniel on lap 198, survived four late restarts and hung on to win the 44th annual Scott's Recreation Oxford 250 Sunday night at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Gerry, of Waterboro, led the race from laps 124 to 171 before pitting for service at lap 172. It didn't take long to mount another charge and get back into contention.
Manchester native Reid Lanpher, the 2015 track champion at Beech Ridge, finished second, while early leader Cassius Clark settled for third. Two-time 250 winner Eddie MacDonald and three-time winner Mike Rowe completed the top five.
“This is very overwhelming,” Gerry said in Victory Lane as he tried to take it all in. “We are the smallest, most underfunded team you can imagine, and to pull this off tonight is unreal. I owe it all to this race team, they just never gave up. Eddie made a big charge late, but I just couldn't let it slip away.”
