SPEEDWAY 95 NEWS RELEASE

July 26th, 2008

By Bill DaButler


(Hermon, Me) Budweiser night was held at Speedway 95 in Hermon on
Saturday, July 26th.

In the Pro-Limited heat race, Brenton Parritt of Steuben suffered
mechanical issues and had to leave the race, but hard work on the
vehicle between the heat and feature brought Parritt back out for the
feature race, where he took the lead early and held it to the
checkered flag. Last weeks feature winner Dale Swoboda crossed the
line for second, with Duane Seekins of Stockton Springs in third, in
the caution-free race.

Kris Watson was back on his game in the Super Streets earning the pole
and taking the win in the caution free feature. Greg Pung of Franklin
finished the race in third, and Travis Beale of Winterport grabbed the
third spot. Mike Overlock of Franklin managed to hold onto fourth
despite throttle problems in both the heat and feature race.

Heat race winner Jordan Pearson elected not to start in Strictly
Street feature race after a disagreement over a black flag penalty in
the earlier truck race, and as a result, lost his standing at the top
of the points standing. Wayne Parritt, Jr. of Steuben continued his
hot streak with another win, and moved to the top spot in the points.
Brad Norris of Ellsworth joined the winner's circle in second, with
Travis Poulin of Holden in third.

Steve Moulton of Glenburn picked up another win, making it two in the
row, after a passing Brownville's Roy Hathorn with a lap and a half to
go in the Sport-Four Feature. Hathorn was scored as second, and David
Shorey of Old Town finished third.

Jordan Pearson of Glenburn and Andrew Crosby of Hermon where running
side-by-side and rubbing hard, at lap 16 of the Full-Size Pick-up
race, when something had to give. Pearson got loose in the
backstretch, and got into Crosby, causing Crosby to spin out and draw
out the yellow flag. Assuming the move was intentional Crosby went
after Pearson under caution causing both to be black-flagged for the
night. Jim Carr, Jr. of Clifton picked up the win when the race
resumed, and Dana Harlow of Orrington took second with Crosby's father
Brett Crosby finishing third. Another competitor, Anthony Moore of
Brewer spin with just over one lap to go, and got out of his truck,
also drawing out a black flag for the night.
