Late Model champion Moulton among dozens to be honored at Unity Raceway Awards Banquet November 19
Unity, ME — Frank Moulton of Burnham will receive championship honors in the top-tier Late Model division for the third consecutive season, topping the list of champions and other notable local racers to be honored at the annual Unity Raceway Awards Banquet, scheduled for Friday night, November 19 at the VFW in Winslow, Maine.
Moulton’s championship drive included a five-race winning streak that shut all of his rivals out of victory lane throughout the month of August. Seth Raven of Waldo was remarkably consistent at posting top-five finishes during the 2010 season and claimed runner-up honors in the championship standings. Third-generation racing teen Dylan Turner of Freedom was tanked third in the season-long contest. Fairfield’s Jeff Burgess was second-best to Moulton in Late Model race victories, and fourth in the final championship standings. Rookie Markus Lowe of Jackson rounded out the top five.
Nate Weston of Madison was the dominant force in Racin’ Paper Super Street division action early in the season, and held on to the points lead throughout the year to earn his championship. Nick Huff of Orrington looked like the man to beat late in the year, ending up second-ranked in the final standings. Steve Rackliff of Starks claimed third position in the final standings, followed by multi-race winners Ricky Burgess, Jr. of Waterville and Brad Bellows of China Village.
Chris King of Burnham claimed his championship in the Wildcat division on the final night for points racing, narrowly beating Winslow’s Andy Turbovsky for the crown. Ed Sleeper of Vassalboro, Eddie Gilblair of Skowhegan and Ryan Robinson of Waterville were third through fifth in the final standings.
Uncle Henry’s Late Model Pro-Four division racers were all looking up at New Vineyard’s Corey Walker in the standings when the season was done. Multi-time division champ Steve Rackliff of Starks ended up as the runner-up, with Norm Cummings of Augusta claiming third-place in the championship contest. Rookie Mike Mason of Skowhegan and the division’s top winner, Ben Clark of Clinton, rounded out the top five.
Mike Wilson of Chelsea drove to yet another Monster Energey Drink Monsta Mini division title. Lance Chapman of Benton was the best of the rest in 2010, with John Fortin of Vassalboro collecting points enough for a third-place ranking. Greg Cummings put his Pinto into victory lane en route to a fourth-place season, with the top five completed by Skowhegan’s Dylan Lancaster.
Justin Moore of Madison outpointed his rivals in Aable Auto Parts Flyin’ 4 division competition. Moore and runner-up Zach Audet of New Sharon, along with third-ranked Brad Bosworth of Cornville, dominated the entry-level, four-cylinder class in 2010. Cody Sleeper of Augusta and Mike Gilbert of Canaan rounded out the top five.
Chelsea’s Mika Wilson had a great start and a great finish to her championship season in the Waterville Oaks Ladies division. The middle part of the schedule belonged to Winterports Chelsea Young, who finished second in the final standings. Amanda Batchelder of Fairfield, Alica Goodwin of Clinton and Christie Foster of Norridgewock were third through fifth in the final standings.
Wes Turner of Montville claimed Teen Thunder championship honors. Jayson Bosworth of Cornville, Colby Robbins of Montville, Cole Robinson of Clinton and Mikey Fenald of Benton rounded out the top five.
Alex Fernald of Benton will move up to the Late Model Pro Four class in 2011 after winning the Enduro championship this past season. Daymon Dodge (Troy), Kenneth Pelotte (Fairfield), 14 Kevin Seekins (Frankfort) and George Fernald III (Benton) were also top-five ranked Enduro class racers this past season.
