O’Blenis secures 250 spot in dominant fashion
Over 4000 fans were treated to a dominating performance by the #48 of Dave O’Blenis. O’Blenis who started 7th on the grid for the Max 1 Advanced Synthetic Pro Stock 150 wasted little time getting his Burger King ride to the front. On lap 25, with lap traffic hindering race leader Scott Chubback, O’Blenis was able to make the pass and he never looked back from there. A total of 20 cars made their way to the Geary woods for the 250 warm up with the winner getting an automatic bye into this year’s big event on Labor Day Sunday. Chubback made a late charge in the dying laps but O’Blenis was just two strong. Chubback finished a very respectable 2nd place while last years 250 winner Lonnie Sommerville finished a strong third. After the race O’Blenis said “that just takes all of the pressure of for Labor Day and we have a car that can win.” (more…)

JOSH ST CLAIR WINS AGAIN IN 95 LATE MODELS
Josh St. Clair of Liberty is emerging as the man to beat in the Dysart’s Late Models at Speedway 95, as he is always up front and more often than not the winner if he finishes a race. Saturday night was no exception as St. Clair drove from his 11th place starting position to the front, taking the lead away from Hermon’s Dale Swoboda on the 29th lap of the 35 lap event. St. Clair was aided by one caution that bunched the field up, but he also had to be patient, as he sat behind a battle for position between Dean Smart of Bradley and Duane Seekins of Stockton Springs, as they went side by side for what were the fourth and fifth positions at the time. Once Seekins finally got by Smart, St. Clair took to the bottom groove and moved past Shane Clark of Winterport, then leader Dale Swoboda. Swoboda later failed an engine compression test in post-race inspection and was disqualified, placing Clark in the second finishing spot. Seekins beat Smart in the battle for what turned out to be the third spot, with Smart finishing in fourth. Bangor’s Doug Day was fifth. (more…)
