Burgess stops Moulton\u2019s streak at Unity Raceway<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unity, Maine — Jeff Burgess snapped Frank Moulton\u2019s five-race win streak in the 35-lap Late Model main event Saturday night at Unity Raceway.<\/p>\n

Burgess, of Fairfield, briefly lost the lead on a couple of occasions after starting from the pole, but controlled most of the Late Model 35-lapper. It was a turnabout of sort for Burgess, who had a two-race win streak broken by the first of Moulton\u2019s five recent victories.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Evan Beaulieu (Durham), Nate Weston (Madison), Carl McAlpine (Burnham), Ben Clark (Clinton), Pete McCollett (Readfield), Justin Moore, Becky Elston and Daymon Dodge (Troy) were also triumphant in feature events at the third-mile oval.<\/p>\n

Justin Drake provided the stiffest challenge to the eventual Late Model winner Burgess, but shortly after the two leaders made contact Drake dropped off the pace. Freedom high schooler Dylan Turner provided a late charge to Burgess, claiming runner-up honors in front of reigning champion, and current point leader, Moulton, of Burnham.<\/p>\n

Seth Raven challenged the leader briefly and ended up in fourth position under the checkered flag. Skowhegan\u2019s David Folsom grabbed fifth spot on the final lap, by inches in front of Chelsea\u2019s Poncho Darveau. Will Collins of Appleton, Dave Farrington, Jr. of Jay, Markus Lowe of Jackson and Ricky Morse of St. Albans rounded out the top ten. Burgess and Darveau won heat races.<\/p>\n

Evan Beaulieu made a late-race move past longtime buddy Bobby Timmons of Windham and drove on to victory in a special, 30-lap feature for the touring NELCAR Legends Cars class. Veteran Bobby Weymouth of Topsham chased the two teenagers throughout the race and under the checkered flag. Matthew Burgoine of Newport claimed fourth position, with Kevin Hutchens of East Waterboro charging back into fifth position after spinning twice during the race. Ed Getty of Gray and Timmons won heat races.<\/p>\n

Nate Weston turned back a stiff challenge by Brad Bellows of China to earn a trip to victory lane following the Racin\u2019 Paper Super Street feature. Weston and Bellows kept it close up front throughout the 25-lapper, while third-place finisher Ricky Burgess, Jr. of Waterville came from the back twice to earn the final podium position. Allan Moeller of Dresden was fourth under the checkered flag, followed by Orrington\u2019s Nick Huff, who won the heat race.<\/p>\n

Carl McAlpine led wire-to-wire to claim victory in the 20-lap main event for Keystone Automotive Wildcat division competitors. Ryan Robinson of Waterville chased down McAlpine in the closing laps, but ran out of time to mount a serious challenge. The previous week\u2019s winner, Chris King of Burnham, worked his way from the back of the starting line-up into a third-place finish. Ed Sleeper of Vassalboro and Andy Turbovsky of Winslow rounded out the top five. Robinson won the heat race.<\/p>\n

Ben Clark of Clinton cruised to an easy victory the Uncle Henry\u2019s Late Model Pro Four division. Division point leader Corey Walker of Augusta added to his slim advantage atop the ranking with a runner-up finish. Walker\u2019s closest rival for the title, three-time kingpin Steve Rackliff of Starks, picked up third-place points driving Brent Chase\u2019s 08. Norm Cummings, Jr. of Augusta and Skowhegan\u2019s Bryan Lancaster completed the finishing order. Clark also won the heat race.<\/p>\n

After a rash of penalties and a scoring re-check, Pete McCollett was declared the winner of the Monster Energy Drink Monsta Mini feature. Vassalboro\u2019s John Fortin ended up as the second-place finisher, with point leader and reigning champion Mike Wilson of Chelsea placed third. Lance Chapman of Benton and Augusta\u2019s Greg Cummings were fourth and fifth, respectively. Wilson was the heat race victor.<\/p>\n

Justin Moore of Madison extended his healthy point lead with a convincing win in the 20-lap Aable Auto Parts Flyin\u2019 4 feature. Wilton\u2019s Derek Cook was clearly the best of the rest after second-place point man Zach Audet of New Sharon wrecked and returned only to suffer a third flat tire. Brad Bosworth claimed the third-place trophy. Cook won the heat race.<\/p>\n

Becky Elston won a championship at Hermon\u2019s Speedway 95 without the benefit of a feature win, but she outran the Waterville Oaks Ladies competitors Saturday in a rare visit to Unity Raceway. Benton\u2019s Samantha Letourneau bounced back from a scary spin to easily claim runner-up honors, well in front of third-place finisher Amanda Batchelder of Fairfield. Fourth-place finisher Mika Wilson of Chelsea was the heat race winner.<\/p>\n

Daymon Dodge of Troy started deep in the field, chased down Skowhegan\u2019s Shadow Folsom and grabbed the checkered flag in victory lane following the 25-lap Enduro race. Hudson\u2019s Donny Silva continued a recent run of good finishes with a third-place run, with Alex Fernald of Benton fourth and Zach Gagnon of Clinton rounding out the top five.<\/p>\n

Racing continues every Saturday night through September at Unity Raceway, with special events in early October. For more information call (207) 453-2021 or visit unityraceway.info<\/p>\n
