Hermon’s Mike Hopkins returned to Dysart’s Late Model racing at Speedway 95 in fine fashion Saturday night as he won the feature event. Hopkins started off the season with a win in his first ever Dysart’s Late Model event, but wrecked the next week, and has been out of competition until returning two weeks ago. This week he picked up where he left off by beating one of the best in the business to the checkered flag. The race started with Hopkins and Greg Morse of St. Albans in the second row, and the pair took off, passing the front row quickly, with Morse leading the first 12 laps. On the 13th circuit, Morse suddenly checked up going into turn three, and Hopkins was so close to his bumper he couldn’t react fast enough, and wound up hitting Morse and spinning him out. On the restart Morse retained his position, as the incident was obviously not his fault, and held the lead the rest of the way to the checkers. Finishing in second, but not far behind, was the old veteran from Bar Harbor, John Phippin Jr. with Hermon’s Dale Swoboda in third. Shane Clark of Winterport was fourth with Morse hanging on for a fifth place finish. Swoboda was the winner of the 10 lap qualifier earlier in the program.

Wiscasset, ME- Wiscasset Raceway moved their weekly racing program to Sunday this week to allow their fans to do traditional things on the 4th of July like to go to parades, have family barbeques and watch fireworks. When the Wiscasset fans did get to the track on Sunday they got to see fireworks again and I’m not just talking about the ones in the sky. There were fireworks on the track as well. Liberty’s Josh St. Clair picked up his second win of the season at the “Center of Speed” on Accord Auto and Self Storage night. The win for St. Clair was a hard fought one though. He had to hold off T.J. Watson for all thirty laps. Watson would finish second after the race had to be red flagged for Tyler Robbins who broke his wrist in turn one. Third place would go to Steve Reno as he made his return to Wiscasset Raceway. Joey Doyon took home fourth in his first start at Wiscasset driving for Dave St. Clair and fifth would go to Seth Raven.
