(Hermon, Me) Speedway 95 in Hermon held it’s final races of 2008 in the 5 Saturday Night divisions, one day later then planed, after the remnants of tropical storm Hanna washed out the Saturday nights action, forcing a Sunday make-up event.
Mathematically clinched, coming into Sunday nights Pro-Stock finale, Brenton Parritt of Steuben finished, just behind his teammate Rowland, JR, Rockin’ Robinson of Steuben at the checkered flag. Greg Morse of St. Albans finished third in the caution-free race.
Shane Tatro of Dixmont returned to Speedway 95 to end the streak of wins by Kris Watson of Hermon, by taking the win in the Super Street Feature. Watson, who had locked in the championship with his dominating run this season finished second, with Bucksport Artie Maguire in third. The Supers went caution-free
Jordan Pearson of Glenburn, who earlier in the evening won the championship in the Full Sized Truck division, finished the 2008 season with a victory in the final race of the Strictly Streets. 19 Year-Old rookie Wayne Parritt, Jr. of Steuben won the championship with his second place finish. Travis Poulin of Holden finished third.
A blown motor drew out the only caution flag in the Sport-Four finale, with David Green of Hampden the winner, Steve Moulton of Glenburn in second, and David Shorey of Old Town third. Lewis Batchelder of Dixmont finished 6th, and earned the 2008 championship, making it his second in a row in the Sport Four Division.
Dana Harlow of Orrington picked up the top spot in the Full Size Truck division, but second place finisher, Jordan Pearson of Glenburn took the 2008 championship. Jim Carr, Jr. of Clifton was third in the caution-free race.
