The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour is set to make a rare pilgrimage to Oxford Plains Speedway in Maine this Saturday, marking the first visit to the half‑mile oval in three and a half decades. The main event, the All States Materials Group 150, is scheduled for 6:15 p.m. Eastern Time and will be streamed live on FloRacing, giving fans across the country a chance to witness the action.
Oxford Plains, which last hosted top‑level NASCAR dates in the 1980s and traces its roots to competitions held in the 1960s, has earned a reputation as a fan‑friendly venue with tight turns and a unique concrete surface that tests both skill and strategy.
Points leader Stephen Kopcik enters the race with a narrow advantage over Austin Beers, who sits second in the championship and is eager to break through for his first victory of the season. Both drivers will be joined by a strong contingent of contenders, including former Oxford Plains winners Matt Hirschman and Jon McKennedy, as well as veterans Patrick Emerling, Tommy Catalano and a host of other seasoned competitors.
