It was  Dragon&#8217;s second straight 7th-place finish. He won the first heat race of  the night to earn points in the championship standings and fought his  way into the top-5 two-thirds of the way through the race after starting  12th in the 33-car field. Dragon was running fourth when he was caught  behind a lapped car on a lap 106 restart, shuffling him out of the  top-10, and he ended up rallying for 7th at the end.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHO:<\/strong> Brent Dragon, Milton, Vt.<br \/><strong>TEAM:<\/strong> Beverage Mart\/Furniture World  of VT\/Charlebois Freightliner\/Newton Pellets No. 55 Chevrolet<br \/><strong>WHAT:<\/strong> ACT Late Model Tour ACT 150<br \/><strong>WHERE:<\/strong> Oxford Plains Speedway,  Oxford, Maine (.375-mile oval)<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>STARTED:<\/strong> 12th<br \/><strong>FINISHED: <\/strong>7th<br \/><strong>LED:<\/strong> 0 times for 0 laps<\/p>\n<p><strong>NEXT: <\/strong>Saturday,  June 26, ACT 150, White Mountain Motorsports Park, North Woodstock,  N.H.

We gained a few points on (leader Brian Hoar) in the end.  He finished behind us in the heat race, so that deal sort of helps us a  little bit there. <\/p>\n<p><strong>DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU&#8217;RE PREPARED FOR THE TD  BANK 250 AT OXFORD NEXT MONTH?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve got something to come  back to the 250 with that we learned today. We&#8217;ve been on both sides of  it. We&#8217;ve been loose, and tonight we were a little bit tight. We can fix  that and come back for the 250 and have a pretty good car.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU  DEFINITELY DIDN&#8217;T WANT TO SEE THAT FINAL CAUTION ON LAP 105.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It  took the car about 15 laps to get where it would start to go pretty  good and build the pressures up in the tires. It had started to go at  that point, but we had a couple too many cautions here. Usually, you  only have one (caution) here it seems, but we had three and they kind of  hurt us in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brent Dragon finished 7th in the ACT Late Model Tour ACT 150 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine, on Saturday night, June 19.
