JIM CARR JR. TAKES TRUCK FEATURE AND SERIES WIN
HERMON, ME — Jim Carr Jr. of Clifton drove to victory in the 25 lap Sinclair Towing Service Pick-up Truck series feature Wednesday night at Speedway 95 and in doing so, made it a clean sweep of the three series races. Hermon’s Doug Sinclair followed Carr across the finish line in second, after making a hard charge for the lead in the closing laps, but coming up short. Sinclair also took second in the three race series. Jason Haskell of Levant finished both the feature and the series in third place, Jeff Overlock Jr. of Hermon and Peter Drake of Corinth were fourth and fifth in the Wednesday night feature.
Travis Beale of Hampden led all 20 laps of the Little Enduro feature, holding off second place finisher Rick Gomm of Dixmont and third place Sam Betts of Brewer who both chased Beale for the entire distance in that order, but were unable to advance their positions. Darren Durrell of Newburgh and Dustin Lancaster of Milo finished fourth and fifth respectively.
In the Ladies division, Amy Houde of Howland returned from a hard first lap crash into the back stretch wall last week to win the 20 lap feature in a new car. Houde started on the pole and was never passed, although Erin Evans of Milo chased her closely for the entire distance but was unable to pass her for the lead. Evans finished second with Rhonda Wilbur of Hermon in third. Fourth place went to Alexis Roach of Brewer in her first appearance in the division. Danielle Beale of Hampden attempted to start the event, but was forced to the pit with mechanical issues before the green flag was thrown.
Roger Smith Jr. of Clifton led the Big Enduros from the green to the checkers, beating the MacNevin brothers Shawn of Hudson who finished in second and last week’s winner Alvin of Clifton, who finished third. Woody Davis of Glenburn finished fourth with Shawn Racilla of Dover-Foxcroft in fifth.
Dylan Street of Old town won the Stars of Tomorrow feature after starting on the pole and surviving one restart during the 15 lap event. Alex Runci of Frankfort was his closest challenger, but he settled for the runner up spot. Third went to Kyle Moore of Frankfort with last week’s winner William McCullough of Kenduskeag in fourth. Dustin Durrell of Newburgh finished fifth.
Only two more weeks remain on the Wacky Wednesday schedule. The next scheduled event is on Wednesday, August 14, when the Ladies will complete their three race series. Big Enduro, Little Enduro, Stars of Tomorrow and the Sinclair Towing Pick-up trucks will also be in action. Racing starts at 7:00.
