Twenty eight late model drivers from coastal, central, and northern Maine took the green flag Saturday night at Speedway 95 for round two of the Linnehan’s Credit Now Auto Company Triple Crown Series for Late Models. Josh St. Clair of Liberty outlasted the field through a caution filled event to take the win. St. Clair had finished second in round 1 held at Wiscasset Raceway earlier in the season, so now has the edge for the crown going into the series finale to be held at Unity Raceway on October 11. The win wasn’t an easy one for St. Clair, as he had to regain the lead eight times over the course of the 54 lap event for caution periods that kept the field bunched up for most of the distance. Each time the green fell, St. Clair retook the lead, but the competition stayed close behind and threatened him all the way. Pole sitter Mike Hopkins of Hermon stayed the closest and finished the event in second, about two car lengths behind the winner. Wiscasset regular Chris Thorne of Sidney also ran near the front for the entire distance, finishing a strong third. Chris Pangburn of Easton ran a solid race, picking up a fourth place finish, with Winterport’s Ryan Deane, who recently converted his car from a Pro Stock to a Late Model, finishing fifth. St. Clair took home $1754 for his efforts, in a race that was run as a memorial to Bob Coburn of Winn, Maine, a former Pro Stock driver at Speedway 95 who passed away in June. His friends and family added an extra $1054 to the winner’s purse, and asked that the race be run for 54 laps, 54 being the number of the car Coburn raced at the speedway. Hopkins, St. Clair and Brenton Parritt of Steuben were winners of the three 15 lap qualifiers used to set the field for the feature. The event was also the final points race for the Speedway 95 regulars, and John Phippen Jr. of Bar Harbor came out as the points champion for the season in the Late Models at Speedway 95.
