News Release Speedway 95 6/11/11
By Bill DaButler
(Hermon, ME) Speedway 95 rolled out the green flag for another evening of racing sponsored by your locally owned Napa stores on Saturday, June 11th at 7pm, with the second race in the Dysart’s late model series, along with the regular card of Saturday night division.
The Dysart’s Late Models earned their first caution of the race in the first lap, when three potential race leaders ran into trouble between turns on and two, Ryan Deane of Winterport, Dean Smart of Bradley, and Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, all of whom ran strongly in the qualifying heat races spun out. When the action resumed, the next 19 laps of the 50 lap feature went caution free until Deane experienced problems forcing a second caution and a trip to his pit stall to try to tune his ride back in. Up until the 42nd lap, the battle for the second spot was the hot topic, as Shane Clark of Winterport and Josh St. Clair battled for second. While the pair battled for second, the race leader Mike Hopkins of Hermon held a substantial lead in the top spot. Clark completed the pass just as the third caution came out. At the restart, the top three spots remained unchanged to the checkers, with Hopkins taking the win. In victory lane, St. Clair acknowledged that his car was being to fade in the final laps, “He (Clark) was just faster.” (more…)

Fredericton N.B., June 11, 2011- Speedway 660 fans came out again in big numbers for the 2nd event of the year with the Pro All-Star Series 200 headlining Saturday nights event in the Geary woods. Three divisions on this night would see action including the Martin’s Home Heating Sportsman and the RV World Street Stocks.
In the RV World Street stock division Heidi Cooper led most of the way and had built up a commanding lead but with just two laps to go the caution flag flew and they would be all bunched up for the restart. Benji Ruff with a strong car would be on the outside of Cooper and drove his #8 Ford to the front in the 2 lap shootout. That gave Ruff his first feature victory of the year while the steady veteran Rick Cashol managed to squeak by Cooper for a 2nd place finish. That left Cooper with a 3rd place podium finish and very respectable to start to the season.
