POWER FAILURE HALTS SPEEDWAY 95 OPENING DAY PROGRAM
Speedway 95’s opening day program was well underway when a component failure in the speedway’s lighting system forced postponement of the final three feature events scheduled for the night. Speedway officials said those postponed events for the Strictly Streets, the Darling’s Ford Sportsman and the Dysart’s Late Models would be completed next Saturday night before the start of the regular racing program.
Prior to the curtailment, Garett Hayman of Milford won the 20 lap Bomber feature after holding off Carmel’s Denis Burns through three restarts in the final five laps. Burns finished second with Bangor’s Scott Bonney in third. Joey Doyon of Winterport and Chris Carroll of Greenbush rounded out the top five.
The Sport-Four 25 lap feature event was also completed, but the results changed once the tech inspectors checked the cars after the race. Zach Audet of Skowhegan, who finished first in the race, was disqualified in the post race inspection, as were Jayson Bosworth and Brad Bosworth of Cornville, who had also finished in the top five. All three cars failed to meet the specified track width requirement. J.R. Gray of Orrington was declared the winner with 2012 division champion Ted Ryder of Carmel in second. Third place went to Kevin Hartley of Hermon, followed by Joshua Grant of Carmel and Matthew Loyd of Drummond, New Brunswick.
