Hermon, Me) The weekend racing at Speedway 95 was fast paced, and low on cautions, but hi in drama, in a race date that included the championship in the three race Sportsman Pro-Stock Series.
Scott Alexander of Orrington and Doug Day from Glenburn earned the inside, and outside pole spots for the start of the third and final 50-lap race in the Sportsman Pro-Stock Series.
