The Ottinger Show

Last week saw the iRacing.com Street Stock Series make its way to Oxford Plains Speedway, a small 3/8th mile oval located in Oxford, Maine. Sim racers looked to tackle this tough little track, where you are never actually going straight, in the hopes of winning the championship. Nick Ottinger (Carolina) once again showed why he is a two time series champion and the favorite to take the title this season.

Ottinger, no stranger to winning, took home his seventh win of the season when he lead all 50 laps during this weeks Strength of Field (SoF) race.

Humphrey gained 136 points for his third place finish while Chase Raudman (California) gained 121 points for fourth. Rounding out the top five was Jeffery Weston (Illinois), who received 106 points.
