Unity, Maine – Brian Whitney of Burnham kept his recent streak of good fortune intact with a victory in the 35-lap feature race for the top-tier Late Model division Saturday night at Unity Raceway.
Whitney led all but one lap in the main event, yielding the front running position for a brief period to Skowhegan’s David Folsom I. Jeff Burgess of East Madison, locked in a tight battle for the track championship with Folsom, made a late charge and took second position away from Folsom in the closing stages of the race. Folsom ended up in third position, followed by Dylan Turner of Freedom, who rebounded from a pit stop to post the fourth-place finish. Tyler Robbins of Montville ended up as the fifth-place finisher after Will Collins had his finish negated by a tire violation detected in post-race inspection. Whitney and Turner won heat races.
