ROGER SMITH AND SHAWN RACILLA TAKE BIG ENDURO SPOTLIGHT
Roger Smith Jr. of Clifton started out the night four points behind Shawn Racila of Dover-Foxcroft in the Big Enduro points standings on the final night of racing for the 2013 season, but won the title by 6 points by winning both the 10 lap qualifier and the 25 lap series #3 feature while Racila finished second in the qualifier and fifth in the feature. Racila was far enough ahead in the series points standings to win that contest by 2 points over Smith. Shawn MacNevin of Hudson raced side by side and nose to tail with Smith over the final laps of the feature, but finished second when the checkered flag fell. Duane Dunifer of Carmel was third, followed by Woody Davis of Glenburn in fourth and Racila in fifth.
In the Sinclair Towing Service Pick-up trucks, Jason Haskell of Levant shook the monkey off his back from last week and led the 20 lap feature from the green to the checkers. Jeff Overlock Jr. of Hermon finished second, with Jim Carr Jr. of Clifton in third. Carr picked up the points championship for the season, his fifth in the last 8 years. Dana Harlow of Bucksport was fourth with Corinth’s Peter Drake finishing fifth.
