Andrew McLaughlin of Harrington wired the Ikey Dore Memorial 50 lap Street Stock event held at Speedway 95 Thursday night, leading all 50 laps and picking up $2250 in the process. The race, which paid $1000.00 to the winner plus an extra $25.00 for each lap led, was marked by seven caution periods, giving the competition several chances to unseat McLaughlin from the top spot. Coming closest was Burnham’s Carl McAlpine, who had three tries but was unable to lead even one lap for the bonus money. Each time they lined up for the green, McLaughlin was able to keep his Camaro out front by the time they reached the scoring line. McAlpine finished in the second spot, with Mac Hannan of Union putting on a late charge to take third. Larry Emerson of Durham, who spent much of the race in the second spot, finished fourth, followed by Bangor’s Shawn Hamel in fifth. The remainder of the finishing order was 6. Ryan Robbins, Dixfield, 7. Chuck Harmon, Amity, 8. Vanna Brackett, Buckfield, 9. Bradley Norris, Ellsworth, 10. Bill Bowley II, Canaan, 11. Jim Carr Jr. Clifton, 12. Jesse Smith, Hermon, 13. Ren Dore, Addison, 14. Randy Caler, Cherryfield, 15. Ken Bowness, Glenburn, 16. Damon Dodge, Troy, 17. Mike Short, Auburn. (more…)
