(Hermon, Me) Mothers Day marked the official opening day for Speedway 95, in Hermon, with three 50-lap races to kick off the season.
Bobby Seger, Jr. of Frankfort was on fire, literally, to start the Dysart’s ProStock 50-lapper, the first race of the division’s three race series. Before the green flag flew, Seger experienced a fluid leak that caused the flames, which were quickly put out. Pole Sitter Ryan Deane of Winterport battled the defending champion, John Phippen Jr. for the lead, until Phippen ran into trouble, spinning out in turn four. Phippen, believing he had time to avoid the upcoming traffic, got back onto the track at lap 25 in front of the leaders, causing the field to scatter, and drawing out a caution flag. As a result, Phippen fell off the lead lap. Paul White from Corinna took advantage of the chaos to put him self in a position to grab the lead, and the win. Deane took second, with his brother-in-law, Jessie Smith of Bangor in third.
