Ricky Craven will hop into a Johnny Clark Motorsports car this summer, returning to his roots with the 34th running of the prestigious TD Banknorth 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway. It will mark the first time Craven races in his home state since 1992. “I’m really excited about this,” said the 39-year-old Craven, who has no other racing on his calendar this year. “This race has been such a big part of my life. I sat in the grandstands and watched it in the ’70s, and I fulfilled a dream when I won it in 1991.” Though no concrete plans have been laid out, Clark and Craven expect to test the car on a couple of occasions before the race weekend. Even then, Craven will be in attendance all weekend to participate in the numerous practice sessions for the 250.(Maine Today)(3-31-2006)
