Higgins had chased Durrell for the final 10 laps of the  race, but was unable to make the pass to take the win on the track. Old Town\u2019s  Jason Trundy then finished second after leading the event from a lap 6 restart  until Durrell retook the lead on lap 12, following a red flag caused by Adam  Russell\u2019s rollover on the backstretch. Mike Ogden of Bucksport drove a hard race  and finished third, followed by Mike Witham of Milo in fourth. Andrew Crosby of  Hermon was fifth. The Little Enduro drivers also competed in a Double O race at  the end of the night, with Mike Witham of Milo taking the win, followed by Steve  Moulton of Holden, Robert Mushero of Scarborough, Danny Snyder of Charleston and  Ricky Adams of Corinth. Qualifiers for the main feature were won by Darren  Durrell of Newburgh and Chris Carrol of Greenbush.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Four cars showed up this week for the \u201cStars of Tomorrow\u201d, a division for  11-14 year olds. 12 year old Matthew Kimball of Cornville took the win, with  last week\u2019s winner Ryan Modery of Hermon in second. Brett McCullough of  Kenduskeag finished in third, driving the final five laps on a flat tire. DC  Alexander of Carmel raced the qualifier, but was unable to make the feature due  to an oil leak on his car. Matthew Kimball\u00a0won the qualifier.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Nicole Smith of Clifton won for the first time in three years in the Ladies  Division when she overtook early leader Shelby Kimball of Cornville on a lap 15  restart, caused when Danielle DeLuck detonated a motor going into turn one and  covered the track with oil. Kimball had led the first 15 laps and appeared to  have the car to beat, but the speedy dry from the oil spill caused her trouble,  allowing Smith to take the lead and the win. Kimball finished in second, with  Kayla Allen of Bucksport finishing third in a car borrowed from Michael Shaw of  Troy. Becky Elston of Carmel finished in fourth with points leader Rhonda Lyford  of Winterport limping home fifth with a flat right front tire on the final lap.  Rhonda Lyford had won the qualifier for the Ladies earlier in the program.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Jim Carr Jr. of Clifton made it five in a row in the pick up trucks when he  held off Bucksport\u2019s Dana Harlow for the win. Harlow and Hermon\u2019s Andrew Crosby  led the early laps until Carr moved his truck past both of them to take the lead  on lap 6. From that point on it was Carr all the way, with Harlow staying in  front of Crosby to take the second place trophy. Crosby finished in third after  posting a 5th place finish in the Little Enduros earlier in the evening. Mike  Lynch of Winterport tried his luck in the 60 truck, and wound up finishing in  fourth with Brett Crosby of Hermon recovering from a trip into an infield tire  pile to finish fifth. Carr also won the heat race for the division.<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paul Higgins on Newburgh was declared the winner of the 29 car Wacky Wednesday Little Enduro feature race at Speedway 95 on July 15 when apparent winner Darrin Durrell, also of Newburgh, was disqualified following a post race inspection of his car.
