Unity, ME \u2013 Josh St.Clair scored his second feature event win of the
\nseason in the Late Model division, topping the rain-shortened racing
\ncard at Unity Raceway on Friday night. Other winners before the wet
\nstuff halted the racing action included Kyle Gallant, Travis Dodge and
\nDick McPhail.<\/p>\n
St.Clair, a third-generation competitor and grandson of multi-time
\ntrack kingpin Dave \u201cBoss Hogg\u201d St.Clair, methodically worked his way
\nfrom the back of the starting grid, past polesitter and early race
\nleader Frank Moulton of Burnham, then cruised to the checkered flag
\nwith ease once in front.<\/p>\n
Moulton, the Late Model division\u2019s point leader, helped his
\nchampionship quest with a runner-up finish, while RJ Austin of
\nSmithfield, making his first appearance of the season on the Unity
\ntrack, crossed the line in third position. Big John Phippen of Bar
\nHarbor mounted an impressive, late-race charge to claim fourth
\nposition at the finish, with Anson\u2019s Mark Dodge, also making his first
\nstart of the season, just edging out Glenn Curtis of Hudson for the
\nfinal top-five finishing position. Moulton won the heat race.<\/p>\n
Kyle Gallant of Veazie won the 35-lap main event for the Monsta Mini
\nclass. The victory earned Gallant a guaranteed starting position in
\nthe Four-Cylinder Nationals Mini Stock race on Sunday, August 2 at
\nBeech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough.<\/p>\n
Gallant started from the pole position and led every lap in the
\nspecial Monsta Mini main event. Reigning division champion Mike Wilson
\nof Chelsea chased Gallant for the first half of the race, but yielded
\nthat spot to Oakland\u2019s Reggie Bickford, who finished in the runner-up
\nposition. Wilson finished third, with Tasha Dyer of Arrowsic fourth
\nacross the line and Tim Collins of Farmingdale finishing in fifth
\nplace. Gallant was the heat race victor.<\/p>\n
Dick McPhail of Clinton took top honors in the Wicked Good Vintage
\nRacing Association\u2019s 15-lap feature event. McPhail, 70, led early but
\nyielded the spot for several laps to Ricky Burgess, Jr. But Burgess,
\nbeset by mechanical demons throughout the night, couldn\u2019t keep his
\ncoupe-bodied Modified up to speed and watched McPhail go past and
\ndrive to victory lane shortly after he got to the front. Bob Hills
\nfinished in the runner-up position, with the top five filled out by
\nNorris Wilette, Mike Willette and Tim Reynolds.<\/p>\n
Travis Dodge copped the checkered flag in the 20-lap Enduro division
\nrace, outrunning Winterport\u2019s Henry Boudreau to the finish line.
\nDarrin Dyer of Canaan ended up in third position, followed by George
\nOverlock of Hermon and Robert Padddack of Clinton.<\/p>\n

\nJimmy Dennis of Benton, Andy Turbovsky of Winslow, Shadow Folsom of
\nSkowhegan, Mike Mason of Skowhegan, Mika Wilson of Chelsea and Lucas
\nPorter of Norridgewock. Nick Lizotte of Sidney thrilled the crowd with
\na rollover in his heat race. Following a quick pit stop Lizotte
