Jun 9, 2008 | Unity Raceway
The extreme heat didn't stop the Monsta Mini's from hitting the track and putting on a cool show for the Four Cylinder National Qualifier. The twelve competitors showed just how much race car drivers ARE real athletics. Lewis Batchelder returned to the Unity Raceway oval in 2008 blazing a fast pace in the first heat race for a win. The second heat race had Tim Robinson return to his winning ways by taking the win. The feature saw Robinson take an early lead. The first caution flag would fly when a spinning Marcus Lowe would tag the #81 of Dylan Lancasater. The restart saw Robinson and Batchelder go door to door. On lap 7, Batchelder would take the lead. Duane Dunifer, returning from his fine run of last week, was gaining on the two leaders. This run would be short lived as Dunifer retired to the pits with engine problems. Jason Trundy, in his 2008 Unity Raceway debut, would start reeling in the leaders. Batchelder and Robinson would race nose to tail for many laps. Robinson would retake the lead. Batchelder's machine was starting to feel the heat of the day. Robinson would cross the stripe first, with Batchelder a close second. Trudy would take his first trophy of the 2008 season in third. Wiscasset regular, Dylan Lancaster, would finish fourth, with rookie Markus Lowe in fifth.

, Maine – Tommy “Gun” Tompkins has lost a championship no thanks to one bad week at the technical inspection shack. Not much chance, then, that you’ll catch the defending Allen’s Coffee Flavored Brandy Strictly Stock king giving back the checkered flag from his first start of the season at Oxford Plains Speedway after Mike Short’s post-race disqualification Saturday night.
Tompkins isn’t chasing points this season. He spent most of his overdue arrival chasing Short, who appeared to set sail to his second straight victory after overtaking Larry Emerson in traffic on lap 56.
“My little boy was crying all morning because he couldn’t be here,” said Tompkins. “So I’ll take this home to him. He’ll be happy with that.”
Emotions ran high in victory lane on a toasty Saturday night.

Scarborough, Maine- Being a 5 time track champion at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway helped Bobby Babb secure the biggest win of the season as his experience paid off in winning the Coors Light 100 on Saturday night. Babb bolted from the outside pole position to lead the early laps over David Oliver and Brockie Gerry. The first caution waved on lap 4 setting the table for Oliver to lead a lap before Babb went back in front on lap 6.

WISCASSET RACEWAY PRESS RELEASE 6/7/08
CHUCK COLBY AND TJ WATSON PICKUP KEY WINS AT THE CENTER OF SPEED
Chuck Colby's patience paid dividends Saturday night in Wiscasset Raceway's top division. The patience wasn't what he did on the track but rather off the track leading up to Saturday night's program sponsored by Hafford's Saloon of Waterville. The third generation racer had been working on a new car leading up the the start of the 2008 season, but rather than rush to get it finished, he waited and filled the time driving a car provided by friend Norm Sherman for the first three weeks. The car was finally ready Saturday evening as Wiscasset brought the action to its first night race of the year. Colby survived a caution filled 50 lap feature for the Clark's Car Crushing Prostocks, losing the lead on two occasions, but battling back to retake the lead on lap 13 and go on to pick up the feature win.
