Max Cookson made his debut in the Super Late Model division at Oxford Plains Speedway on Sunday, and it was a victorious initial showing for the Pittsfield native.
Cookson led every cycle of the 50-lap opening day feature to capture the checkered flag in his first SLM race.
Cookson, who was last year’s Pro All Stars Series Mods champion, held off Kyle DeSouza and former Oxford Plains SLM champion and 2017 Oxford 250 winner Curtis Gerry for Sunday’s SLM win.
The PASS Mods also were in action at Oxford Plains on Sunday, as they will be for the majority of the Oxford Championship Series dates this season. Shawn Knight took the feature win in the Mods, edging Brandon Varney for the victory.
In the newly formed Thunder Stocks division, Charlie Young won the inaugural feature.
Frank Wear won the feature in the Limited Sportsman division, which made its return to weekly action for the first time since 2006. In the Mad Bombers division, which is based off the former weekly division at now-shuttered Beech Ridge Motor Speedway, Nick Wilson captured the checkered flag.
Other winners at Oxford Plains on Sunday were Jordan Russell (Street Stocks), Larry Lizotte (Figure 8s) and Jeremy Turner (Rookies).
