SPEEDWAY 95 NEWS RELEASE May 18th, 2008

By Bill DaButler


(Hermon, Me) It was caution free for the heats, but not so for the
features this weekend at Maine's Family Fun Track Speedway 95. While
most of the divisions were free of incident, the Sport-Four division
gave the yellow flag a workout.

The Strictly Street division completed its first 35-lap
race of the Coca Cola Strictly three race series, with Jordan Pearson
earning another win this season. Pearson, who also won the Full Size
Truck race worked hard to hold off rookie Wayne Parritt, Jr. of
Steuben. Brad Norris of Ellsworth took third in the caution-free
affair.

There was only one caution in the Dysart's Pro-Limited
race, and it was due to a mechanical failure, believed to be in the
distributor of Steuben's Rowland Robinson, Jr. Duane Seekins of
Stockton Springs and Brenton Parritt of Steuben kept the race close
but ultimately Parritt ran out of laps to get by Seekins, and settled
or second. Bernie Thayer of Hermon finished second.

Kris Watson of Hermon continued his streak of winning
every race, including heats this season, by taking the led away from
Mike Overlock of Franklin. Overlock stayed at the front though, to
finish second, with Artie McGuire, Jr. of Bucksport finishing third in
the caution-free race.

There were five cautions, and a false start in the
Sport-Fours, a roll over, a head on collision, and three drivers
receiving blacks flags, and two-week suspensions for on track
behavior. Adam Russell of Hermon easily took the win, but was
disqualified in the post race inspection moving David Green from
Hampden to the front of the finishing order. Spencer Garvin of
Searsport was upgraded to a second place finish, and Steve Moulton, a
former Super Street champion out of Glenburn to third.

In the caution-free Full Size Truck race, Jordan Pearson
added another checkered flag to his collection, by picking up the win
Ernie Wallace, Jr. of Winterport finished second, with Peter Drake of
Holden in the third spot.


Francis Bernard of Howland picked up his second win in two weeks the
win in the Maine Supercup Racing League event.
