THORNE EARNS SECOND LATE MODEL WIN OF SEASON AT WISCASSET
Chris Thorne shook off his recent spate of bad luck to win the 30-lap Late Model Sportsman feature at Wiscasset Raceway on Saturday night. Thorne, the reigning track champion from Sidney, survived a restart with nine laps remaining and led the final 13 laps of the night for his second win of the season to extend his slim points lead atop the division. Coastal 200 champion Bill Whorff Jr. of Topsham finished second to Thorne, while rookie competitor Adam Chadbourne of Woolwich rounded out the top-3. Darren Ripley started on the outside pole and held off heavy pressure from Thorne before his car expired on lap 18, surrendering the lead to Thorne's No. 17 as he pulled his own car onto the pit lane. From there, Thorne opened up a nearly full-straightaway lead on Whorff. When Josh St. Clair spun on the fronstretch to bring out the third and final caution of the event, Whorff lined up to the outside of Thorne on the restart but could not capitalize. After winning the Bruce Kane Memorial on May 17th, Thorne scored a DNF at the Coastal 200 and then finished out of the top-5 on June 7.

Buddy Poole wins Wildcat 50 lap special at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway
Scarborough, Maine-Some Wildcat drivers have waited many years to win the annual 50 lap race but Buddy Poole showed them how to do it on just the second try. Poole started from the pole position and led the first 2 laps before Richard Randall took over. Randall set the pace until Lyman McKeage took over on lap 6 leading to the caution flag that waved on the 11th circuit. Randall went back to the point on the restart and stayed there thru lap 19 when the caution again appeared.

Dubuc inherits first career win in 2nd start on a busy Wednesday night at tech shack
OXFORD, Maine – Oxford Plains Speedway Acceleration Series fans were reminded Wednesday night that the driver who takes the leisurely lap of honor and gets to rattle off a list of thank-yous and sponsors into the victory lane microphone isn't always the winner.
First place changed hands in three of eight 20-lap features after the technical inspectors gave the leaders a fine-toothed comb.
