It took Garett Hayman until the last lap of the 20 lap Little Enduro feature to figure out a way to pass Brewer’s Sam Betts, but he edged by Betts on the backstretch and held the lead to the checkers, with Betts finishing second, less than a car length behind. Betts had led the caution free event most of the way with Hayman coming from his 8th place starting spot to pester Betts for the lead for the entire second half of the race. Hayman finally made his car stick down on the inside groove to complete the pass for the win. Rick Gomm of Dixmont finished third, with Carmel’s Denis Burns in fourth. Scott Bonney of Bangor finished fifth.
In the Stars of Tomorrow, William McCullough of Kenduskeag took the lead from Frankfort’s Kyle Moore and Dustin Durrell of Newburgh on the final lap after the three young drivers raced side by side and nose to tail for the lead. Moore finished second with Durrell coming home third in the 15 lap feature that was stopped three times for the caution flag and once for the red when Alex Runci of Belfast rolled over twice in turn four on the 9th lap. Runci climbed out of the car uninjured, but was out of action for the rest of the night. Zachery Horlieca of Hudson was fourth with Marcus Dunn of Newburgh finishing fifth.

Garett Hayman of Milford made it three wins out of the last four races he’s entered at Speedway 95 as he won the 25 lap Little Enduro feature at Speedway 95 Wednesday night. Hayman started 6th in the field and took the lead on lap three after a short but close battle with Hermon’s Andrew Crosby. Crosby chased Hayman for the next 20 laps until 14 year old Emma Libby of Glenburn, who won the Ladies division feature earlier in the evening, came from the rear of the field to pass Crosby for the second spot. Hayman had built up enough of a lead to stay in the top spot when the checkers fell, but Libby was on a charge to the front and was closing when the caution free race ended. Libby finished second with Crosby finishing third. Fourth spot went to Kyle Gallant of Veazie with Scott Bonney of Bangor in fifth. Hayman led Crosby by two points in the season totals going in to the night’s racing.
Emma Libby of Glenburn took the lead on the fourth lap of the caution free Ladies Division feature and led to the checkers.

Milford’s Garett Hayman showed up at Speedway 95 Wednesday night with the car to beat, but no one was able to beat it as he won both 25 lap features in the Little Enduro Division. In the first 25 lap event, a caution free series race for the division, Hayman passed pole sitter Andrew Crosby on the 6th lap and cruised to the win . Crosby finished second with Scott Bonney of Bangor finishing third. Fourth went to Carmel’s Jeremy Scott and Charles McKusick of Abbott finished fifth. In the second event, the field was reversed and Hayman started last . By lap 6, he was past Crosby again and had the win in hand until a lap 21 red flag stopped the race. On the restart, Crosby tried a mad dash from his third place position up the inside of Hayman, but Hayman wisely pulled up to give Crosby room, then used the outside groove to power past Crosby to pick up his second win of the night. Crosby was again second with Ladies Division driver Danielle Beale of Hampden finishing third after accepting track owner Del Merritt’s invitation to the ladies to join the field. Dennis Burns of Carmel finished fourth with Chris Hitchcock of Hampden fifth.
