STEVE HEATH TAKES SPORT-FOUR SERIES EVENT
Mike Hopkins makes it 3 for 3 in Late Models
Steve Heath of Milo outlasted a determined but disappointed Bradley Norris of Ellsworth to take the win in Saturday night’s Varney Agency Sport-Four Series event number one. Heath started on the pole by virtue of winning the qualifying heat and swapped the lead with Norris several times as the duo raced side by side for the first 16 laps. Heath took the lead for good on lap 17 as the pair went inside and outside while overlapping a slower car. In his haste to catch back up, Norris spun his car out of second place in turn four of the 28th lap, and ended up third after 2010 champion Keith Ogden of Holden slipped by into second as Norris recovered from the spin. Fourth went to Mike Heath of Brownville with last week’s winner Jay Robichaud of Eddington finishing in fifth. The remaining order of finish was 6. Becky Elston, Carmel,7. Ralph Allen, Hermon, 8. Joshua Grant, Carmel,9. James Johnson II, Bucksport,10. Ryan Kennedy, Holden,11. Roy Hathorn, Brownville 12. Bradley Dolan, Winterport.
