SPEEDWAY 95 NEWS RELEASE July 5th, 2008
By Bill DaButler
(Hermon, Me) Fourth of July weekend was full of surprises, prizes and side-by-side racing at Maine’s Family Fun Track, Speedway 95.
In the 35-lap Sport-four series race, Steve Moulton of Glenburn earned the pole, and led every lap. There were only two cautions; the second came at lap 29, when Brent Fletcher spun out in turn two. What made this caution so crucial to the race is that it put Steve Moulton side-by-side with Mike Hopkins of Hermon, and Hopkins turned what looked like an easy win for Moulton into a 6 lap side-by-side battle. Moulton earned the win, with Hopkins second, and Jason Trundy of Old Town in third.
