Bill Whorff wins first Beech Ridge Motor Speedway feature
Scarborough,Maine– Since joining the ranks of Beech Ridge Motor Speedway Pro Series drivers in 2009, Bill Whorff has seen his share of struggles trying to get around the Scarborough oval. Whorff found himself in the right position on Saturday night to take advantage of circumstances and drove to the victory in the 40 lap NASCAR Pro Series event. Gunnar Josselyn led the opening lap of the race but on the second go sround Josselyn bobbbled exiting turn two and the whole pack of cars behind him started to pile up.
The end result was a 14 car wreck that blocked the backstretch. Bill Whorff was able to get through the crash unscathed as most of the field headed to the pit area for repairs. After a lengthy red flag to clear the wreck, Whorff bolted into the lead and began to open up a sizeable lead over the field. The remainder of the race was caution free asd Whorff sailed under the checkered flag a ¼ lap in front of second place finisher Scott Moore. Brad Babb was third with Dan McKeage and Trevor Sanborn fourth and fifth. Corey Bubar won his third Sport Series feature race. Dave Charest led some of the opening laps until Travis Buzzell took over at lap 13.
