In a special 75 Lap Little Enduro feature scheduled on a Saturday night, and sponsored by Cap’s Tavern of Brewer and Judy’s Restaurant on State St. in Bangor, Darren Durrell of Newburgh came back from a Wednesday night disqualification that took a win away from him to take the win in a race that went the full 75 laps, from green to checkers, without a stop. Durrell wrestled the lead from Donny Blanchard of Orrington on the 11th lap and held Blanchard at bay for the remainder of the race. Blanchard finished in second with Kyle Gallant of Veazie, who had posted a win in the Sport-Four Division earlier in the evening, finishing in third. Newburgh’s Ken Getchell finished the race in fourth, the first car a lap down to the leaders, and Frankfort’s Chris Burbelo was fifth. Durrell and Blanchard each won a qualifying heat, and started the race on the front row. The Little Enduro feature replaced the usual Late Model Feature as the Late Model drivers requested the night off to attend Oxford 250 week-end at Oxford Plains Speedway.

Paul Higgins on Newburgh was declared the winner of the 29 car Wacky Wednesday Little Enduro feature race at Speedway 95 on July 15 when apparent winner Darrin Durrell, also of Newburgh, was disqualified following a post race inspection of his car. Higgins had chased Durrell for the final 10 laps of the race, but was unable to make the pass to take the win on the track. Old Town’s Jason Trundy then finished second after leading the event from a lap 6 restart until Durrell retook the lead on lap 12, following a red flag caused by Adam Russell’s rollover on the backstretch. Mike Ogden of Bucksport drove a hard race and finished third, followed by Mike Witham of Milo in fourth. Andrew Crosby of Hermon was fifth. The Little Enduro drivers also competed in a Double O race at the end of the night, with Mike Witham of Milo taking the win, followed by Steve Moulton of Holden, Robert Mushero of Scarborough, Danny Snyder of Charleston and Ricky Adams of Corinth.
