Ken Ogden of Seal Cove drove a strong race to finish fourth, with Dixmont driver Rick Gomm finishing fifth.

After battling for the lead with Frankfort’s Dana Wilbur in the early laps of the 50 lap Hopkins Landscaping series feature for the Dysart’s Late Models at Speedway 95 Saturday night, Wayne Parritt of Steuben powered past Wilbur on a lap 21 restart and led the rest of the way to post his second win of the season.

A further inspection of the motor will be conducted to determine it’s eligibility for competition in the division.
Shane Tatro of Levant led from the green to the checkers in the Darling’s Ford Sportsman division, with Rookie Trey Brown of Winterport taking the second spot when Steve Kimball of Holden was forced to pit with a flat tire.
