Brackett held on for a third-place finish, a highlight in this disappointing season for the four-time titlist.<\/p>\n<p>Anson\u2019s Scott Moore raced to an impressive, fourth-place finish.  Andy Saunders of Ellsworth, the winner in Monday night\u2019s Super Late Model main event, raced from 16th starting position to finish fifth in the caution-free 50-lapper.<\/p>\n<p>TJ Brackett of Buckfield, rookie Calvin Rose, Jr. of Turner, championship points leader Alan Tardiff of Lyman, Dennis Spencer, Jr. of Oxford and Dixfield\u2019s Scott Robbins filled out the top ten.  Martin and Saunders were triumphant in the 12-lap Super Late Model heat races.<\/p>\n<p>Tyler King of Livermore claimed his second victory of the season in the 30-lap Allen\u2019s Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stock main event, using the outside groove to take command late in the race, and then outrunning Bridgton\u2019s Bryce Mains to the checkered flag.<\/p>\n<p>Championship points leader Billy Childs, Jr. of Leeds celebrated the arrival of his newborn twins with a last-lap charge into third position.  Turner\u2019s Matt Dufault led more than half of the race before Childs nipped him at the line for third.  Mark Turner of Norway completed the top-five rundown.  King also won the heat race.<\/p>\n<p>Former Bandits division champion Shaun Hinkley of Oxford cruised to victory lane following his 20-lap, wire-to-wire triumph.  Hinkley\u2019s closest rival as the checkered flag waved was Oxford\u2019s Chad Wills.<\/p>\n<p>Reigning Bandits champion Jamie Heath of Waterford was forced to settle for a third-place finish, hugging the inside line behind runner-up Wills while nursing a flat left rear tire.  Auburn\u2019s Brandon Varney finished in fourth position, followed by Adam Sanborn of West Paris.  Hinkley and Sanborn won heat races.<\/p>\n<p>Eric Hodgkins of Minot outran all of his rivals in a Figure 8 race that was red-flagged at one point when the previous week\u2019s winner, Kyle Kilgore of South Paris, landed on top of points leader Tommy Tompkins at the intersection.<\/p>\n<p>Hodgkins went on to victory over David Smith of South Paris and Lisbon\u2019s Dale Lawrence.  Tompkins bounced back to finish fourth after pitting for repairs.  Oxford\u2019s Kyle Glover rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n<p>The Budweiser Championship Series continues on Saturday, July 22 at 7:00 p.m., featuring the weekly Budweiser Championship Series classes, topped by the Super Late Models, plus INEX Legends Cars.
