In addition to the purse, there was lap leader money in excess of $4,000.\u00a0 This included a $500 halfway bonus, complements of New England Race Fuels.<\/p>\n<p>The Coastal 200 kicked off with three heat races.\u00a0 The heat races were sponsored by Norm\u2019s Used Cars and Truck\u2019s by Norm, both of Wiscasset.\u00a0 One hundred dollars went to each of the three heat winners.\u00a0 Those winners, who started at the pole were the #33 of Josh St Clair.\u00a0 Josh St Clair was the 2014 Coastal 200 winner.\u00a0 Winner of the second heat was the #17 of Chris Thorne.\u00a0 Third heat winner was Andrew McLaughlin of the #26.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>With Josh St Clair, Thorne, and McLaughlin leading the field, green flag racing began, and the Coastal 200 started.\u00a0 Thorne moved ahead by a nose, and led the first lap, but Josh St Clair regained his lead the following lap.\u00a0 There was plenty of action as cars jockeyed for position.\u00a0 McLaughlin headed inside and led the following lap.\u00a0 Three different race leaders in the first three laps!<\/p>\n<p>The first caution came during lap twenty-seven.\u00a0 When racing action resumed, McLaughlin still continued to lead the pack, despite Thorne racing him door to door around the track for the position.\u00a0 A second caution during the same lap caused another restart, and when green flag racing began once again, the #X of Jeff Burgess went to the outside and passed Josh St Clair for third.\u00a0 The pair battled for the spot for three laps, with Josh St Clair taking the spot briefly back.\u00a0 Ultimately, Burgess claimed the position, and set his sights on second.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, McLaughlin and Thorne were racing furiously for the lead.\u00a0 Then during lap forty-five, Thorne suffered a mechanical problem, and smoke began pouring from under the hood.\u00a0 The #32 of Nick Jenkins and the #15 of Nick Hinkley spun on the track immediately after, bringing out the third caution of the race.\u00a0 Several drivers headed to the pits, including Thorne, who discovered he had a broken power steering line.\u00a0 Thorne was back on the track before caution\u2019s end, and continued to strong arm his way through the remainder of the race.<\/p>\n<p>With Thorne at the back of the pack, McLaughlin stayed in the lead, but Burgess moved up to second, and Josh St Clair moved to third.\u00a0 The top three race leaders remained constant through lap sixty-six.<\/p>\n<p>There was plenty of shuffling for position throughout the pack however.\u00a0\u00a0 The #30 of Ryan St Clair had moved up from his eleventh starting position into the top five, as well as the #25 of Will Collins, who had started in ninth.\u00a0 Thorne was patiently working his way back up through the field, despite his lack of power steering.<\/p>\n<p>However, during lap sixty-six Ryan St Clair passed Josh St Clair for third.\u00a0 Ryan St Clair continued to power his way up the track, looking for his opportunity to pass Burgess.\u00a0 His chance came during lap seventy.\u00a0 Ryan St Clair headed to the inside and passed Burgess for second.\u00a0 Ryan St Clair continued his trek up the track and headed to the outside to challenge McLaughlin for the lead during lap seventy-six.\u00a0 While coming out of turn four, Ryan St Clair emerged as race leader, with McLaughlin moving to second.\u00a0 Burgess was in third.<\/p>\n<p>Lap eighty-seven had the forth caution of the race, and when racing action resumed, Burgess took an inside line and reeled McLaughlin in slowly.\u00a0 During lap eighty-eight Burgess completed the pass on turn two and took second.\u00a0 Another caution during lap ninety-one saw a leader change on the restart.\u00a0 Ryan St Clair and Burgess battled for the lead, they went nose to nose around the track, and when the duo went over the start\/finish line, Burgess was 1\/100ths of a second ahead and became new race leader, the fourth leader of the race.\u00a0 A determined Ryan St Clair didn\u2019t go down without a fight, and by lap ninety-three was back in the lead.\u00a0 Ryan St Clair was race leader at halfway point and was the recipient of the New England Race Fuels $500 bonus.\u00a0 Ryan St Clair also won a graphics package, courtesy of Code 99 Designs for leading lap 99.<\/p>\n<p>Race leaders Burgess and McLaughlin headed to the pits after a caution during lap one hundred-three.\u00a0 Ryan St Clair was still leading the pack, but Thorne had once again made his way back to the head of the pack, and was in second.\u00a0\u00a0 In third was Josh St Clair.\u00a0 Also in the top five was Hinkley, who had gone to the back during lap forty-five.\u00a0 When action resumed on the track, Hinkley moved along side of Josh St Clair, to challenge for third.\u00a0 Then during lap one hundred- seven, Hinkley passed Josh St Clair on the outside of the back stretch for third.\u00a0 Hinkley continued his advance up the field and passed Thorne on the outside of turn four for second.\u00a0\u00a0 Hinkley stayed outside, and proved himself to be a force on the track when he passed Ryan St Clair during lap one hundred eleven and became the fifth leader of the Coastal 200.<\/p>\n<p>The seventh caution of the race came during lap one hundred thirty-five.\u00a0 During the caution, Thorne headed to the pits and the #23 of Dave Farrington Jr moved into third.\u00a0 Also in the top five were Burgess and McLaughlin, who had pitted during lap one hundred- three.<\/p>\n<p>On the ensuing restart, Farrington went underneath Ryan St Clair, looking for second, but Ryan St Clair didn\u2019t give up the position.\u00a0 Farrington backed off and patiently waited for his chance to pass.\u00a0 He found an opportunity during lap one hundred-forty, and passed Ryan St Clair on the inside of turn one for second.\u00a0 Then everything changed as Burgess and Ryan St Clair made contact coming of turn three during the same lap.\u00a0 Burgess and Ryan St Clair headed to the back of the pack, and McLaughlin moved back into third place.\u00a0 Ahead Hinkley and Farrington were in first and second.<\/p>\n<p>There was change in the running order during lap one hundred forty-two after a caution on the track.\u00a0 The #54 of Ryan Deane spun and collected the #21 of Shane Clark, the #6 of Chris Bowie, and also Ryan St Claire.\u00a0 All headed to the pits, but racing was over for the day for Bowie and Ryan St Clair.\u00a0 Deane was able to stay on the track.\u00a0 Deane, at the completion of the race, was the recipient of the A R Bodies Hard Charger Award.\u00a0 This award goes to the driver who finishes the most positions ahead of where he started.\u00a0 Deane started in twentieth, and finished in twelfth, advancing eight positions.\u00a0 Deane received a $500 certificate to A R Bodies.<\/p>\n<p>On the lap one hundred forty-two restart, McLaughlin got under Farrington and took second.\u00a0 Farrington was hung out to dry as Josh St Clair followed the same line and took third.\u00a0 A battle for second began to rage.\u00a0 For five laps McLaughlin and Josh St Clair raced door to door, fans cheered the duo on, and eventually Josh St Clair edged ahead and took second place.\u00a0 Hinkley was still in the lead.<\/p>\n<p>Then, during lap one hundred forty-nine McLaughlin and the #04 of TJ Watson made contact, sending both into a spin and bringing out the yellow.\u00a0 McLaughlin and Watson head to the back of the pack.\u00a0 Moving into third was Farrington.\u00a0 There was an exciting restart, and Josh St Clair challenged Hinkley for the lead.\u00a0 Coming out of turn three, Josh St Clair was ahead by a nose, but Hinkley fought back and went across the start\/finish line only 6\/100ths of a second ahead.\u00a0 By lap one hundred fifty-two, Hinkley had solidified his lead, but Josh St Clair was still challenging Hinkley for the spot.<\/p>\n<p>Hinkley and Josh St Clair made contact coming out of turn three during lap one hundred fifty-nine.\u00a0 Hinkley spun on the track bringing out a caution, and both went to the back.\u00a0 Farrington advanced to first place, making him the sixth leader of the Coastal 200.\u00a0 Jenkins moved to second, and Burgess moved to third.\u00a0 When racing action resumed on the track, Burgess went underneath Jenkins for second.\u00a0 Once again making an appearance in the top three was Thorne, who had pitted during lap one hundred thirty-five.\u00a0 Thorne passed Jenkins on the inside of turn three for third.<\/p>\n<p>There was plenty of action in the top half of the pack, as all vied to get to the front.\u00a0 Jenkins, Watson, McLaughlin and Josh St Clair were all hot on the heels of race leaders Farrington, Burgess, and Thorne.\u00a0 During lap one hundred seventy-three Thorne moved to the outside, and raced neck and neck with Burgess.\u00a0 Thorne was able to complete the pass by the conclusion of lap one hundred seventy-six, taking second.\u00a0 McLaughlin challenged Burgess for third, and moved to the outside, passing Burgess during lap one hundred seventy-nine for third.<\/p>\n<p>The twelfth and final caution of the race came during lap one hundred eighty.\u00a0 It was an exciting restart with Farrington getting a good jump off the start.\u00a0 Thorne and McLaughlin battled for second door to door.\u00a0 Behind were Burgess, Jenkins, and Hinkley, who had gone to the back during lap one hundred fifty-nine.\u00a0 McLaughlin edged ahead of Thorne during lap one hundred eighty-two, taking second.\u00a0 Hinkley moved up from behind to challenge Thorne for third.\u00a0 Thorne was able to hold him off.\u00a0 McLaughlin made a bid to challenge Farrington for the lead, but Farrington had things well under control and flew under the checkered making him the 2015 winner of the Coastal 200!\u00a0 McLaughlin placed second.\u00a0 Thorne took third.\u00a0 Thorne said of his finish that was one of the hardest races he\u2019d ever done.\u00a0 Thorne strong-armed his way over 150 laps with no power steering.\u00a0 Finishing in forth was Hinkley.\u00a0 Fifth place went to TJ Watson.<\/p>\n<p>After the race, Farrington said, \u201cWe just survived, and that\u2019s really what it\u2019s all about here.\u00a0 We were junk the first eighty laps or so.\u00a0 We kept trying to tighten it up, and we had that caution around lap eighty-seven, so I said to the guys that this was the perfect time to tighten it up so we changed the tires.\u00a0 Then the crew got me out first from the pits.\u00a0 It was a heck of a job by the pit crew, my Uncle Jeff, C Barker, my buddies, my mother, and my girlfriend, Erika, was on pit row, so a good job by those guys.\u00a0 I want to thank my sponsors Kulwicki Driver Development Program, Wood Pellet Warehouse, Captured Memories Taxidermy, Hilltop Collision Center, New States Contracting, Fourth Generation Logging and Firewood, Atlantic Contracting and Specialties, Distance Racing, Butler and MacMaster, and also thanks to the Wiscasset crew for putting on a great show and welcoming us here.\u00a0 They did and awesome job and we had a full house of fans, so it was very cool to see.\u00a0 There were quite a few hooting and hollering for us, all wearing orange shirts.\u00a0 A big thanks for the fans too!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>First on the agenda, prior to the Coastal 200, was a twenty-five lap Outlaw Mini feature.\u00a0 Starting on the pole was the #17 of Matt Weil.\u00a0 Behind him were Shane Kaherl of the #19 and Shawn Austin of the #20.\u00a0 Leaping quickly to the front was Kimball followed by the #34 of Justin Trombley and the #71 of Donny Silva.\u00a0 The trio was leading the pack when suddenly during lap fifteen, Kimball suffered a loss of power.\u00a0 Trombley passed Kimball for first, and Silva passed Kimball for second.\u00a0 Coming from behind was the #13 of Cody Tribett for third.<\/p>\n<p>Lap seventeen saw a running order change when Tribett passed Silva on the inside of turn two for second.\u00a0 Race leaders remained constant until race conclusion.\u00a0 Trombley took the checkered.\u00a0 Tribett placed second.\u00a0 Rounding out the top three was Silva.<\/p>\n<p>The next crowd pleaser was a thirty lap Modified feature event.\u00a0 The #3 of Ed Trask led the action on the track, followed by the #39 of Mike Brown and Shawn Austin of the #61.\u00a0 Brown passed Trask on the inside of turn three during the opening lap for first.\u00a0 Coming up quickly from behind was the #20 of Gary Thorne and the #85 of Jairet Harrison.\u00a0 Thorne and Harrison slid neatly into second and third before the conclusion of lap one.<\/p>\n<p>During lap two, the #5 of Mark Lucas passed Harrison for third.\u00a0 Ahead, Thorne passed Brown for the lead.\u00a0 Then Harrison spun on the track, bringing out a caution, and Brown got caught up in it.\u00a0 The new running order was Thorne in the lead, followed by Lucas in second, the #33 of Ron Bryant advanced to third.\u00a0 On the restart, Lucas got a good jump of the start and took the lead.\u00a0 The #8 of Richard Jordan overtook Bryant for third.<\/p>\n<p>Lucas and Thorne had a good battle for the lead, when halfway through the race, Thorne slid going into a turn and fell off the pace.\u00a0 Lucas gained a commanding lead, and Thorne was unable to close the gap.<\/p>\n<p>Lucas spent the remainder of the race looking out his rear view window at the pack trying to catch up.\u00a0 Lucas took the win.\u00a0 Thorne placed second.\u00a0 Jordan placed third.<\/p>\n<p>Lucas said after race time, \u201cI struggled all day trying a new set-up.\u00a0 At the end of the day had to go back to the original set-up.\u00a0 Glad to have it get back to where it has been.\u00a0 I want to thank Fishing Vessel Mamiluem, Lucas Auto, Dallas Staples Excavating, Steve\u2019s Signs, and a special thanks to Jordan Lumber and Jordan Excavation.\u00a0 A very special thanks to all our veterans and in memory of all the ones lost protecting our freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An action packed twenty-five lap Strictly Street feature kept fans on the edge of their seats.\u00a0 Starting at the pole was the #36 of Richard Spaulding.\u00a0 Behind him were the #84 of Kenny Harrison and Chanler Harrison of the #85.\u00a0 There was a caution during lap one with no leader change.\u00a0 During lap two, the #14 of Dave Brannon moved to third, passing Chanler Harrison.<\/p>\n<p>There was a caution during lap three when Dan Brown of the #83 spun on the track.\u00a0 The #55H of Kurt Hewins, and the #39 of Zachary Bowie got caught in the jumble.\u00a0 Brown and Kurt Hewins headed to the pits, and Bowie went to the back.<\/p>\n<p>On the restart, the #51 of Kyle Hewins passed Brannon for third.\u00a0 Kyle Hewins headed to the inside and passed both Kenny Harrison and Spaulding for the lead.\u00a0 After the pass, cars went three wide coming out of turn four during lap three, and Kyle Hewins kept his race leader position.\u00a0 Spaulding was in second.\u00a0 Brannon was in third.\u00a0 Chanler Harrison spun on the track, bringing out the third caution of the race. \u00a0Race officials called for a single file restart and racing order went back to the previously completed lap.\u00a0 The new running order was Spaulding in first, Brannon in second, and Kyle Hewins in third.<\/p>\n<p>When racing action resumed on the track, Brannon headed to the outside and took the lead by a fraction of a second.\u00a0 During lap four, there was a turn three caution when Kyle Hewins piloted into Spaulding, putting the pair on the infield.\u00a0 The #22 of Tommy Smith was collected in the melee.\u00a0 There was another single file restart.\u00a0\u00a0 Brannon was in the lead.\u00a0 The #26 of Corey Morgan advanced to second, and Kenny Harrison was in third.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan went to the outside during lap seven and raced Brannon door to door for the lead.\u00a0 The duo continued to race nose to nose, and Brannon pulled ahead by 4\/100ths of a second during lap ten, coming over the start\/finish line.\u00a0 During lap twelve, Morgan once again took the lead away from Brannon.\u00a0 Behind the two leaders, Kenny Harrison and Ethan Dinsmore of the #8X raced for third.\u00a0 Harrison was able to hold off Dinsmore however.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan and Brannon raced furiously for the win as the laps ticked off, but Morgan was able to clinch the win.\u00a0 However, Morgan failed post-race inspection and the win was awarded to Brannon.\u00a0 Kenny Harrison placed second.\u00a0 Ethan Dinsmore took third.<\/p>\n<p>Post-Race Brannon said, \u201cThe win is a little bittersweet because I hate seeing someone get disqualified.\u00a0\u00a0 With that being said, I\u2019ve probably been disqualified more than anyone out there.\u00a0 I lost a win last season because of it.\u00a0 As far as the car, we had a ton of car issues.\u00a0 The starter failed last night at Beechridge, so we had to push start all day.\u00a0 Then, the alternator went bad, so the car didn\u2019t have enough electrical power to run the motor properly, so I started breaking down towards the end of the race.\u00a0 If I hadn\u2019t had that problem, I don\u2019t think Corey would have been able to get us.\u00a0 We seemed to go up through the pack pretty easily without any contact.\u00a0 It was nice and smooth.\u00a0 The thanks for this win goes to my crew.\u00a0 I want to thank my sponsors Top Gun Construction, Auto Fabb Machine Shop Services.
