Last year underdog now favorite at Oxford Plains Speedway
Everyone loves an underdog. It’s true of virtually all sports, especially when that underdog makes good and wins. Sometimes that win takes a bit of time though.
I noticed this story from the Kennebec Journal, written by Travis Barrett, about driver Travis Adams. In 2005 he qualified for his only career start at the time, and finished 40th in a race of 40. Not the most auspicious start. Definitely the underdog going forward.
But now Adams has rallied and risen to the point of being the favorite at the TD Banknorth 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway. You just have to love that. From a 40th place position to 5 wins this season and favorite consideration. That’s inspiring.
Wiscasset Raceway Late Model rookie Dan Trask must be paying attention to this story. Who knows, maybe he will be the new underdog that makes good. That makes good racing, and if feels good too.
