\"\"McLAUGHLIN TAKES CHARGE OF WISCASSET LATE MODELS<\/strong>
\nby Ken Minott<\/p>\n

Maine’s fastest track rolled out a full card of action for a packed house on Saturday evening. With the season turning to the 2nd half, some division points battles tightened up while others became a bit more clear. Fans were treated to action in the Wood Pellet Warehouse Late Model Sportsman, Kennebec Equipment Rental Outlaw Minis, the Norms Used Cars Strictly Streets, the K&A Property Services Modifieds, plus there was an always entertaining 100 lap Enduro. The night finished up with a fireworks display to celebrate the end of the Independence Day holiday week.
\n<\/p>\n

In the 35 lap spotlight feature for the Kennebec Equipment Rental Outlaw Minis, former champ Jimmy Childs took the lead on lap 2 and ran unchallenged to his 2nd win of the season. Rob Greenleaf of West Bath, a 4-time champ himself, chased Childs across the line to claim the 2nd place trophy. Brent Roy of Vassalboro finished third by just a couple car lengths. Richmond’s Scott Trask and defending champ Jake Hendsbeee of Whitefield filled out the top five. In other action, Late Model point leader Andrew McLaughlin of Harrington secured a tighter grip atop the division with his 2nd victory of the year. The 40 lap feature went caution free for the first 35 laps, but two late race cautions changed things up and brought other contenders into the picture. 4-time champ Chris Thorne made it close at the line, taking advantage of the late cautions to finish 2nd by just a car length. Montville’s Tyler Robbins turned in his best performance of the season finishing 3rd. Rookie Logan Melcher led 25 laps but faded to finish 4th, followed by Brandon Fowler of Rome. In the 25 lap contest for the Norms Used Cars Strictly Streets it looked like Solon’s Brad Erskine was well on his way to his first career win, building up nearly a full straightaway lead. However, a caution with 2 laps to go changed things up. Brother’s Kurt & Kyle Hewins, both former division champions, charged around Erskine and raced each other to the checkers. Kurt would take the win, his first of the season, beating his younger brother by a scant 0.181 second. Erskine would settle for 3rd. Jeff Alley of Machias and point leader Jonathan Emerson filled out the top 5. In the K&A Property Services Modifieds 30 lap feature, West Bath’s Nick Reno picked up his 2nd win of the season. Mike Brown of Hope took the runner-up trophy in his debut effort. Reigning champ Allen Moeller of Dresden finished 3rd. The final race of the night was a 100 lap enduro in which 42 competitors lined up for a dash to the checkers. Keith Russell of Durham, a crew member for the Emerson Strictly Street team, took the win. <\/p>\n
