Travis Beale of Hampden took the lead on lap one of the 1st annual Chummy’s Groundhog Special for Little Enduros at Speedway 95 Wednesday night and led all the way in the caution free 50 lap event. Beale was never seriously challenged although Fred Ashmore Jr. of Hancock was closing in on the leader when the checkers came out. Ashmore, who started fifth had worked his way up into the second spot by the half way point, but couldn’t get close enough to Beale to make a serious challenge for the top spot. In post race inspection, Ashmore’s car was disqualified for not meeting the chassis height specifications, so Garett Hayman of Milford was awarded second after dropping as far back as sixth at one point, but working his way back toward the front as the laps progressed. Hermon’s Andrew Crosby finished in third with Beal’s wife, Danielle Beale finishing in fourth. Fifth place was not available as only the first four cars were on the lead lap at the finish.

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.
