The Weekly Super Late Model field at Oxford Plains Speedway is still known as one of the toughest in America. Eleven different drivers were winners in weekly action in 2025, with ten in the previous season and another dozen the year before. After averaging over 21 cars per week last season, 2026 promises much the same. A mix of veterans like Tim Brackett, Calvin Rose Jr, Scott Moore, Mike Rowe, and 2025 champion Scott McDaniel are already on the driver roster. They will face off against young faces like Kyle Salemi, Colby Benjamin, and Evan Roy for weekly supremacy. Add in drivers like Ben Tinker, multi-time champion Dave Farrington Jr., 2025 Rookie of the Year Tom Abele Jr., incoming rookie driver Michael Haynes, and former winner Brandon Varney, and it’s easy to see why weekly racing at Oxford is as good as it gets.
