I forget just how much fun it is to attend a race at Oxford Plains Speedway. I enjoy watching crews work on their race cars. I think I could spend most of the day just people watching actually.

I was glad to see Kevin Harvick win the race. He was a class act all weekend. He was most accepting of everyone wanting an autograph. He seemed really relaxed and at ease all weekend. People were dragging him here and there having him sign things -- someone even had him sign her foot, and posing for numerous pictures. He never gave any indication that it was bothering him. I think he sincerely enjoyed the weekend, despite the rain.

Delana Harvick was around for the weekend also but I never saw her. I heard she spent some time in Boston shopping. Apparently during the race she was in the grandstands in the pit area watching the race. I didn't see her though. Did you?

The racing was fantastic. Harvick put on a good show. For the first half of the race, he was stuck behind Carey Martin for quite a while. Harvick had the faster car and was nudging him. Martin didn't like it. During a caution, Harvick went to go on the outside of Martin, and Martin blocked him. Harvick went to the inside and Martin dove down low and blocked him again. Harvick finally pulled up beside and him told him he was "number one." Great stuff.

He had a dominating car and deserved the win. What did you think of the racing at OPS?

Here's a slideshow of all the pictures that I took Sunday and Monday.

I have been told that Terry Labonte has entered the 34th annual late model race scheduled for July 22 at Oxford Plains Speedway. (Thank you Carole for the info.)

He last raced at OPS in June 1992.

I must admit, I had a hard time finding the "official" announcement at first. You have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page on their Web site. Here's the link if you would like to take a look...www.oxfordplains.com

I have always had a great deal of respect for "Texas Terry," so I may have to go to this race to watch him. Let me know if you plan on going...

I will update again a little later today with info on the Michigan race.
