SPEEDWAY 95 NEWS RELEASE July 19th<\/sup>, 2008 <\/font><\/p>\n

By Bill DaButler<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

(Hermon, Me)  <\/span>The Dysart’s Pro-Limited Series ended its 2008 run with its final race, under a full moon, Saturday, July 19th<\/sup> at Maine’s Family fun track, Speedway 95. Steuben’s Brenton Parritt won the series championship, despite a blown engine in the closing laps. Pole sitter Parritt led through 3 cautions until lap 45, when his engine blew, drawing out the caution. Due to a series of caution flags, black flags, and race attrition, three cars remained on the track with 5 laps to go, only two of which were on the lead lap. Both lead lap drivers elected to end the race, due to the oil left behind in the wake of Parritt’s blown engine. Dale Swoboda of Hermon was declared the race winner, with Duane Seekins of Stockton Springs, in Second. Parritt was honored with third place, and Deane Smart of Bradley, although several laps down, was awarded fourth. Parritt’s finish put him in the front of the series points, earning him the championship in the three race series. <\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Greg Pung of Franklin took over the top spot in the Super Street division, at lap two when pole sitter and race leader Artie McGuire of Bucksport blew his engine. Pung held the top spot through 5 more cautions to lead ever lap and pick up the win. Winterport’s Travis Beale finished second, and Jeff Overlock, Jr. crossed the line for third.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

Wayne Parritt, Jr. of Steuben picked up the win in the Strictly Street race, with almost a half-track lead over second place finisher Bradley Norris of Ellsworth. Shawn Hamel of Bangor took home the third place trophy in the caution-free event. With the win Parritt takes the points lead away from Glenburn’s Jordan Pearson, who drops back to third in the standings 74 points behind Parritt, and 68 point shy of Norris.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

There were only two cautions in the Sport-Four race. It was Steve Moulton of Glenburn who picked up the win.  <\/span>Defending champion Lewis Batchelder of Dixmont entered the winters circle in the second spot, and Jason Trundy of Old Town continued his second half of the season hot streak in the third spot. <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

A caution early on put several drivers down one lap in the Full Sized Pick-up Truck division. Jordan Pearson of Glenburn earned the race win, with Dana Harlow of Hampden second. Jim Carr, Jr. of Clifton was awarded third as the checkered flag flew. The win puts a comfortable cushion between Pearson and the race of the division in the standings with just 7 races remaining.<\/font><\/p>\n
