Johnny Clark Wins Father’s Day 150 At Unity Raceway
UNITY, Maine — Johnny Clark of Farmingdale, Maine, won his record-tying third straight PASS North Series race on Sunday, leading the final 114 laps virtually unchallenged en route to victory in the Father’s Day 150 at Unity Raceway.
The win was the fourth of Clark’s career at Unity, and his second on Father’s Day.
“It’s really kind of unbelievable,” said Clark, who now has 22 career series victories. “We were going for three in a row, and I figured we’d blow it here because everyone always expects us to be so good at this place. I didn’t know if we’d be able to pull it off.” (more…)

Folsom claims checkered flag in top class at Unity Raceway
Unity, Maine – David Folsom I of Skowhegan broke a victory lane dry spell in come-from-behind style Saturday night in the headline 35-lap Late Model feature race at Unity Raceway.
While Folsom ran with the leaders throughout the event he at one point yielded the pacesetting position to reigning track champion Frank Moulton of Burnham. But Folsom was up to the task and the veteran competitor who first raced at Unity some three decades ago outgunned the young reigning king and drove to victory lane for well-deserved accolades.

Ricker Goes From Back to Front
Marshall Survives Mini Stock Melee
OXFOR, Maine – Two Lap Tommy Ricker held true to his nickname, as he completed a pass on the outside of Jeff White for the lead with just two laps remaining, on his way to the win on Sunoco Race Fuels Night. Ricker charged from his starting spot in the second to last row, and worked his #6 Oxford Network Late Model up to ninth just 13 laps into the race. Jeff White took the early lead, taking off from his outside pole starting spot to take the point. Two yellow flags involving Gary Chiasson, brought the field together and negated the lead White had opened up on the rest of the field. On the lap 34 restart, Ricker drew alongside White, and beat him to the line before completing the pass a few laps later. Jeff White finished second after leading ¾ of the race. Tim Brackett piloted his ill-handling car to a solid third place run.
