Travis Beale of Hampden brought his car back to Speedway 95 in response to track owner Del Merritt’s posting of larger than normal purse to draw more cars to the track and promptly snapped Garett Hayman’s five race winning streak. Beale, who had been racing at Spud Speedway in Caribou, showed his experience as he worked his way past Hayman in traffic early in the event and broke into the lead on lap 8 of the 20 lap feature. Darren Durrell of Newburgh, the 2011 division champion, also answered Merritt’s call for more cars on Wednesday night and placed second. Hayman finished third after catching but not being able to pass Durrell. Daymon Dodge of Winterport placed fourth with early leader Kyle Gallant of Veazie falling to fifth in the closing laps.

A whirlwind month of ups and downs culminated with Bobby Timmons III earning his first career NASCAR victory last weekend at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway.
The 19-year-old Timmons, of Windham, won the 45-lap Pro Series feature event at Beech Ridge on Saturday night for his first win in the track’s NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Super Late Model division. Timmons started fifth, rolled to the lead early and then opened up a big advantage to win going away from the rest of the 23-car field.
“It’s an unbelievable feeling,” said Timmons, who is ninth in the overall Pro Series standings, second among rookies. “Part of me was like, ‘It’s about time.’ I knew we had a good enough car to do it. On the other hand, I never would have thought we could do this so soon. I remember being seven years old and sitting in the stands watching Larry Gelinas, Alan Tardiff, David Oliver and those guys win races and championships – and now I went out there and won against them.
