Andrew Mclaughlin of Harrington made it two in a row Saturday night at Speedway 95 as he wired the Strictly Street Coca-Cola Series race #1 at the 1/3 mile Hermon oval. McLaughlin won the qualifier for the event which put him on the pole for the feature, and he just kept on leading from there. Roger Smith Jr. of Clifton finished the race in second, after Cody Brassbridge of Frankfort pulled off the track on lap 20 and parked his Camaro with mechanical trouble. Shelby Kimball of Cornville placed third with the father son duo of Shawn Hamel II and Shawn Hamel of Bangor finishing fourth and fifth respectively.
Dysart’s Late Model action also saw a repeat winner as Mike Hopkins of Hermon took control of the 35 lap feature early on in the event and went on to post his second win of the season. While Hopkins and second place finisher Dale Swoboda of Hermon played follow the leader up front, Ryan Deane of Winterport was putting on a show, working his way up from his eighth place starting spot to a solid third place finish. Deane used the inside groove to pass eventual fourth place finisher Brenton Parritt of Steuben and Dave St. Clair of Liberty who finished fifth. Deane held the third spot from lap 28, while Parritt and St. Clair battled for their finishing positions, which weren’t decided until lap 33 of the 35 lap race. Hopkins and Swoboda were both winners of the qualifying events, placing them on the front row for the feature. (more…)
