OXFORD — For much of the night, it looked like a teenage sensation was going to claim his first career touring series victory. But it was a second-generation driver from just up the road who saved his car and made the right moves when it counted.

Cassius Clark gained the advantage over 19-year-old sensation Kyle Desouza on a restart with 33 laps remaining and hung on to win the Dunkin Donuts 150 for the Pro All Stars Series North on Saturday at Oxford Plains Speedway.

Jimmy Childs and Matt Williams were also feature winners on the biggest Saturday night program of the season at the western Maine oval.

Clark, son of Oxford legend Billy Clark, who was known as the “Farmington Flyer,” started 12th on the 30-car Super Late Model grid. He became the event’s sixth different leader when he took command. Trevor Sanborn came from seventh on the grid to claim second, while young Massachusetts driver Derek Ramstrom was third. Desouza faded to fourth in the closing laps, while Brian Hoar settled for fifth.

“Kyle sure had a good car tonight,” Clark said. “We lost a race last week on a caution, and I sure as heck wasn’t going to lose this one here tonight. We had a good restart there, and drove away to a pretty good lead. The lapped cars kind of bunched us up a bit, I knew Trevor was right there but we were able to hold our line and hold him off.”

Sanborn made a great charge to the front in the last 20 laps, but fell just short.

“At the beginning of the race, the car didn’t seem to be that good,” Sanborn said. “We were just biding our time there for a while, when he hit pit road they pulled the bleeder from the right rear and the car came around. It was really going well on the bottom, it just takes time to win one of these things.”

Ramstrom, from West Boyalston, won at Thompson, Conn., two weeks ago, and is always a factor when the PASS Super Late Models roll into town.

“We started off way too tight,” Ramstrom said. “I was just trying to conserve my tires the whole race. We struggled all weekend, but my crew worked really hard and got the car figured out. I have to thank these guys for getting this machine back on track and so competitive.”

Finishing sixth through 10th in the Dunkin Donuts 150 were Scott Mulkern, Glen Luce, DJ Shaw, Oxford veteran Mike Rowe and Dan Colby. Seven cautions slowed the pace, while 14 of the 30 starters finished on the lead lap. Clark’s margin of victory over Sanborn was just under a half second. The PASS North stars will return to Oxford in late September to close out their 2012 campaign.

In earlier feature action, Childs powered his way around the outside of Ashley Marshall going through turns 1 and 2 on lap seven and pulled away to record his 44th career victory in the Mini Stock feature. The former champion from Leeds started third on the 19-car grid and wasted little time getting to the front.

Jay’s Ashley Marshall finished right where he started in second, while Calvin Rose Jr. was a distant third. Rob Greenleaf and Turner’s Butch Keene completed the top five.

“The car has been really fast,” Childs said. “Last night didn’t go as planned, my shifter popped out of gear and that isn’t good. It happened again tonight, but I just held it in place and went with it. My father has worked hard to make this car so competitive, he is my inspiration since he’s raced here forever. It makes me proud to continue the family tradition of winning at Oxford.”

Williams charged to pick up his second Strictly Stock win of the season after a terrific side-by-side battle with defending champion Kurt Hewins. The driver from Brownfield worked his way around the outside of Hewins on lap 23 and fought off a determined Hewins the remaining seven circuits.

Former champion Skip Tripp charged through the field to secure third in the closing laps, while Ryan Hewins was rock-solid in fourth. Ryan Robbins completed the top five with another strong effort.

“We changed a lot of stuff on the car today,” Williams said. “It wasn’t going anywhere near the way we wanted it to earlier. It responded well to the changes, and here we are again. I have to happy with the way we turned it around today.”
