Scarborough, ME – Saturday’s NASCAR Nite Pro Series 40-lap feature event was won by Bobby Timmons, III, of Windham.
At the drop of the green, Gorham’s Sulo Burbank, paced the 18-car field to the green flag and led the first lap, however lost the lead to rookie Evan Beaulieu, of Durham, the following lap. Beaulieu led until Tyler King, of Livermore, chased down him after starting in his 5th starting spot and took the top spot from Beaulieu on lap five.
At the halfway mark, King maintained a large lead over Beaulieu and looked like the decisive winner. A caution on lap 35 flew for King, who came to a stop on the front stretch with apparent mechanical failure; King had to retire pit side, while handing the lead to Beaulieu with only five laps remaining.
The caution set up a five-lap shootout between Beaulieu and Timmons. On the restart, Beaulieu chose the outside lane choice as Timmons took the inside. The outside lane proved unsuccessful for Beaulieu as Timmons was able to gain momentum going into the first corner and capture the top spot. Timmons led the final five laps of the event en route to his first win of the 2013 season.

Welch, Stearns Heat Up Heading To Beech Ridge
Both Banking On Crazy Horse’s Flat-Track Success This Week
SOUTH PARIS, Maine – When Quinny Welch ran headlong into misfortune last weekend, it may have served to fuel an old adage: “When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.”
Welch, who had reeled off two straight wins at White Mountain Motorsports Park, was collected when the leaders wrecked on the final lap while running in the Top-5 at the track last Saturday night. He never saw the checkered flag. But with the help of his own crew and some others, Welch pulled an all-nighter and made repairs to his No. 78 IBEW Local 104 Chevrolet – then hauled over to Canaan Fair Speedway to finish sixth in the Subway Fresh Fit 150 on Sunday.
Now, Welch will have Crazy Horse Racing give the car a good once-over this week before entering the ACT Late Model Tour Beech Ridge 150 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, this Saturday night.
