NAPLES, Maine – Oxford Plains Speedway owner and Pro All Stars Series (PASS) President Tom Mayberry announced today that Massachusetts-based HP Hood Company will be the title sponsor for the 43rd Annual Oxford 250. The 43rd Annual HP Hood Oxford 250 will take place on August 26-28 at Oxford Plains Speedway and will pit the best short track racers in North America against one another, with over $25,000 going to the winner.
“This is a great day for the Oxford 250 and for all the race fans of Maine,” said Oxford Plains Speedway’s Tom Mayberry. “HP Hood is a company all of us in Maine are proud of and they have stepped up in a big way with their support of this year’s 250. It’s a natural partnership that will see the 43rd Annual HP Hood Oxford 250 continue to grow as one of the premier events in all of short track racing.”.
For more than 160 years, the name Hood® has been synonymous with fresh, quality dairy products that taste great. Founded in 1846 in Charlestown, Massachusetts by Harvey Perley Hood, the company has since extended its New England roots, and today Hood is a national company distributing dairy products throughout the United States. In fact, HP Hood LLC is now one of the country’s largest branded dairy operators with 13 manufacturing plants throughout the United States. The company also maintains its own research and development operation, which supports the superior product quality and innovation that Hood customers have come to expect.
“Everybody in New England is familiar with HP Hood and the Oxford 250, so it seemed like a perfect fit to team up and make a great new partnership,” said Chris Ross Vice-President of Marketing, HP Hood Company. “We have a manufacturing facility in Portland, ME, that’s part of our core business, and we have a lot of employees and fans that will be joining us for this year’s HP Hood Oxford 250.”
