DALE SWOBODA TAKES 95 LATE MODEL FEATURE
Hermon’s Dale Swoboda recovered from a mechanical issue that took him out of the lead on the last lap of the qualifying heat, and returned to capture the caution free Late Model Feature victory at Speedway 95 Saturday night. The win wasn’t easy as it took Swoboda until the 17th lap to work his way past Duane Seekins of Stockton Springs and Don Alexander Jr. of Carmel, who had led the first 16 laps. Alexander chased Swoboda for the final 8 circuits, but was unable to retake the lead and settled for the runner up spot. Shane Clark of Winterport got past Seekins on the final lap to post a third place finish. Seekins finished fourth with Bar Harbor’s John Phippen Jr. in fifth. Swoboda was unable to make the initial line-up for the national anthem as, in addition to the distributor that went bad in the qualifier, his starter also quit and he had to be push started to leave the pits. Seekins won the qualifier for the Late Models.
Super Street action saw a replay of last week’s 50 lapper as Steve Moulton of Holden won again with Josh St. Clair chasing him under the checkered flag. The difference this week was that instead of both drivers shaking hands and congratulating each other on a good race as they did last week, both kept their distance from each other and traded barbs about the other’s driving abilities during their post race interviews. St. Clair took exception to Moulton’s driving tactics as a result of what he felt was a deliberate move on Moulton’s part to force him high in turn 2 as Moulton was working his way by St.Clair on the inside on lap 9. St. Clair had been running in the lead, but slipped high in turn four on lap 8, allowing Moulton to get close enough to strike. Moulton retorted that he was merely driving the way he saw St.Clair drive in the Late Models. Could there be a late season feud brewing between these two highly competitive drivers? Hermon’s Kris Watson finished third after a race long battle with Lindsey Young for the position. Young finished fourth with Doug Sinclair, also of Hermon finishing in fifth. Moulton also won the 10 lap qualifier earlier in the program.
Doug Day took the lead from Ellsworth’s Bradley Norris on a lap 18 restart, lost it to Norris on a lap 19 restart, then retook it on lap 21 and cruised on to the victory, his second since taking the wheel of the 37 at mid-season. The lap 18 caution was caused by a solo spin by Dustin Hubbard of Unity as he was running alone in third place at the time. On the 19th lap, Nick Huff spun on the back stretch when he pulled up too early while passing Travis Poulin on the inside. In his post race interview, Poulin stated that Huff had pulled the same stunt last week and he let off and let it go as a rookie mistake. This week, Poulin stated , he stayed in it and Huff learned a lesson. Current points leader Bradley Norris finished second in the event, followed by Poulin in third, Shawn Hamel II of Bangor in fourth and Hubbard recovering from his spin out to finish in fifth. Day also won the qualifier.
Gary Richards of Stetson won his first Sport-Four feature of the season Saturday night as he led the caution free 20 lap event from pole to checkers. Rick Grant of LaGrange and David Green of Hampden waged a race long battle for second and third, with Grant coming out ahead at the end. Grant congratulated both Richards on his win and Green on the good battle for the runner up spot. Green, the division’s current points leader, finished in third, with Veazie’s Kyle Gallant and Plymouth’s Derick Terrell finishing in fourth and fifth respectively. Ralph Allen of Hermon easily outdistanced the field in the 10 lap qualifier.
