Saturday's practice in the books

There were 93 cars in the pit area on Saturday at Oxford Plains Speedway, and the drivers put those machines through some five hours of practice time.

"I think that's great for a Saturday," said Oxford Plains owner Bill Ryan. "We get a few stragglers in here tomorrow and get to over 100 cars, I'll be the happiest guy in the world."

Fastest in the practice session early in the afternoon were the No. 55 of 2-time Busch East Series champion Brad Leighton and the No. 91 of Quebec's Patrick Laperle. Both were regularly running in the 16.2-second bracket.

Notable in their practice habits were the No. 60 of D.J. Shaw, who packed up early after lunch and called it a day. Happy enough with the car? Also, 5-time Late Model feature winner at OPS this season, Travis Adams, only practiced for about half an hour.
