Late Model champion Moulton among dozens to be honored at Unity Raceway Awards Banquet November 19

Unity, ME — Frank Moulton of Burnham will receive championship honors in the top-tier Late Model division for the third consecutive season, topping the list of champions and other notable local racers to be honored at the annual Unity Raceway Awards Banquet, scheduled for Friday night, November 19 at the VFW in Winslow, Maine.

 

Moulton’s championship drive included a five-race winning streak that shut all of his rivals out of victory lane throughout the month of August. Seth Raven of Waldo was remarkably consistent at posting top-five finishes during the 2010 season and claimed runner-up honors in the championship standings. Third-generation racing teen Dylan Turner of Freedom was tanked third in the season-long contest. Fairfield’s Jeff Burgess was second-best to Moulton in Late Model race victories, and fourth in the final championship standings. Rookie Markus Lowe of Jackson rounded out the top five.

Unity, Maine – Skowhegan’s David Folsom I was the biggest winner Saturday at Unity Raceway, while New Sharon’s Zach Audet claimed three first-place trophies on the Fernald Frenzy Fun card, filled with novelty racing events.
