What began as a hobby became something much bigger—a place in Oxford 250 history.

From Morrill, Maine, Travis Benjamin built a remarkable career that includes three Oxford 250 victories, including back-to-back wins in 2013 and 2014, cementing his place among the legendary names of Oxford Plains Speedway.

And leading the conversation will be 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘆—the Godfather—pulling out the stories we all want to hear, the memories behind the victories, and maybe a few stories that have never been told.

This November, five of Maine’s most accomplished racers will come together at the New England Racing Museum for one unforgettable afternoon.

Travis Benjamin
Ricky Craven
Dick McCabe
Ben Rowe
Mike Rowe

Together, they represent 10 Oxford 250 victories and generations of New England racing history.

And joining them on stage will be a voice that has been part of New England racing for nearly five decades:

Dave Moody — Master of Ceremonies.

But the numbers only tell part of the story.

Over the next several weeks, we’ll share a little of the story behind each of these remarkable racers—the victories, the challenges, the unforgettable moments and the roads that brought them to Victory Lane.

Then, on Sunday, November 15, we’ll bring them all together for Legends Day: The Maine Event.

And at the end of the afternoon, we’ll raise their banners to the rafters of the Museum, permanently honoring them as New England Racing Legends.

The New England Racing Museum was proud to be one of 21 teams competing in Sonny Whelen’s Racing for a Cure at Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, Connecticut—an annual charity karting and endurance racing event supporting The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.

Representing the Museum behind the wheel were Board Member Bob Bartis, Board Vice President Bob Bianchi, President Jim Lowrey, and volunteer Jim Thompson.

Our pit crew included volunteer Trish Rumbaugh, Executive Director Ruth Thompson, and volunteer Karen Bianchi.

The event features a challenging four-hour endurance kart race, bringing together professional and amateur drivers, NASCAR stars, short-track racers, and Whelen Engineering employees—all united by a common goal: raising funds to accelerate research and treatments for Parkinson’s disease.

George “Sonny” Whelen IV, Executive Vice President of Whelen Engineering and a longtime racing champion, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2006. Since retiring from professional driving, he has dedicated significant time and energy to fundraising and supporting Parkinson’s research.

We were honored to represent the New England Racing Museum among 21 teams and to be part of a racing community coming together on and off the track for a great cause. 🏁❤️

Saturday was a truly historic day at the New England Racing Museum as friends and family gathered with Roger Dowd to celebrate the gifting of a very special race car—the legendary “Beast,” a 1950 Jaguar.

This historic race car has been part of Roger’s life since 1957, and we are deeply honored that he has entrusted the Beast to the museum. Now, this incredible piece of New England racing history will be preserved and proudly displayed for generations to come.

We are grateful to Roger and his family for helping ensure that the story of the Beast—and the memories that come with it—will continue to be shared.

Come see the Beast for yourself—and explore so much more at the New England Racing Museum! 🏁
