Milford’s Garett Hayman showed up at Speedway 95 Wednesday night with the car to beat, but no one was able to beat it as he won both 25 lap features in the Little Enduro Division. In the first 25 lap event, a caution free series race for the division, Hayman passed pole sitter Andrew Crosby on the 6th lap and cruised to the win . Crosby finished second with Scott Bonney of Bangor finishing third. Fourth went to Carmel’s Jeremy Scott and Charles McKusick of Abbott finished fifth. In the second event, the field was reversed and Hayman started last . By lap 6, he was past Crosby again and had the win in hand until a lap 21 red flag stopped the race. On the restart, Crosby tried a mad dash from his third place position up the inside of Hayman, but Hayman wisely pulled up to give Crosby room, then used the outside groove to power past Crosby to pick up his second win of the night. Crosby was again second with Ladies Division driver Danielle Beale of Hampden finishing third after accepting track owner Del Merritt’s invitation to the ladies to join the field. Dennis Burns of Carmel finished fourth with Chris Hitchcock of Hampden fifth. (more…)
