DALE SWOBODA WINS SPEEDWAY 95 LATE MODEL FEATURE
Dale Swoboda of Hermon won the crash marred Late Model feature at Speedway 95 Saturday night that lost several competitors before the half way point. Swoboda started on the pole and stayed ahead of the carnage, most of which occurred on lap 11. Shane Clark of Winterport spun off turn one with a little help from Brenton Parritt of Steuben. On the resulting restart, a major accident on turn 2 sent several competitors to the pit, never to return to the race. Swoboda continued in the lead, finishing about 10 car lengths ahead of Winterport’s Ryan Deane. Deane couldn’t worry too much about catching Swoboda as he had a red hot Deane Smart of Bradley, who finished third, glued to his bumper for most of the race following the lap 11 restart. Brenton Parritt finished fourth, with Shane Clark riding his bumper to a fifth place finish after recovering from his earlier spin. Last week’s winner, Mike Hopkins, finished sixth without a right fender and door following the lap 11 mess. Duane Seekins, also a victim of the “big one” finished 7th, followed by George Dunn of Eastbrook in 8th. 9th place went to Alex Waltz of Damariscotta, followed by John Kalel II of Orrington, Andy Saunders of Ellsworth, Greg Ellis of Hermon and Nick Jenkins of Brownville who all were eliminated on lap 11. Hopkins and Ryan Deane won the night’s qualifiers, but started near the back of the pack due to their top three finishes last week. (more…)
