2008 RESULTS and PHOTOS 8-16-08 Smith Construction & Barbara Bush Children's Hospital Night by Ken Minott
In support action in Sunday's program
Windsor's Maurice Young continued his dominance of the Keystone
Automotive Strictly Streets, winning the 50 lap qualifier
for October's Street Stock Nationals. It was the defending
champ's track high 8th win of the season. Joining Young in
victory lane were Auburn's Mike Short and Cushing's Steve
Pierpont. The PASS Sportsman Series ran a 50 lap makeup feature
and a 75 lap regularly scheduled feature. The 50 lap race,
originally rained out in mid June, was won by Saco's Terry
Merrill. He held off Wiscasset's Super Street point leader Allen
Moeller for the victory. Defending PASS Sportsman champ Dan
McKeage took the 75 lapper. The PASS Modified 40 lap feature was
won by multi time champ and former Wiscasset regular Mark Lucas
of Harpswell.
In Saturday night's program TJ
Watson of Harpwell made a daring 3-wide pass to the inside of
turn four to squeeze by leaders Daren Ripley and Will Collins on
lap 46 and then held off defending champ Chris Thorne to win the
special 50 lap Smith Construction Late Model feature. In doing
so, Watson was faced with the decision to take the $1000 winners
pay or turn it in for a guaranteed provisional for Sunday's big
race. After a short apology to his mother Watson grinned and
said "The answer is 'yes', I can't pass up the chance. It would
be an honor to run with the big boys tomorrow". Thorne secured
his hold on the division point lead with his runner-up finish.
Ajay Piccard of Palmyra turned in a career best 3rd place
finish, picking his way through the multiple midrace cautions to
get to victory lane.
In the 25 lap feature for the Unicel Super Streets opening day winner Jeremy Glasier grabbed the early lead and ran out to his 2nd win of the year. He was chased across the line by the division's only other repeat winners, Mike Landry of Oakland and Nate Weston of Madison. Cushing's Steve Pierpont outdueled defending champ and point leader Maurice Young to pickup his first win of the year in the 20 lap Keystone Automotive Strictly Streets feature. The two made hard contact on the front stretch with three laps to go, causing Young to cut down a left front tire. Ian Bresnahan moved up to finish 2nd and former champ Dave Brannon of Lisbon took 3rd. Young held on to finish 6th despite the flat tire. Mac Hannan Jr was a wire to wire winner in the 20 lap Aable Auto parts Ministock feature. He held off young hot-shoe Ryan Ripley to take the win. Ripley. who had a two race win streak going, settled for 2nd and Shawn Kimball of Pittston finished 3rd, just ahead of point leader Dylan Lancaster. Chris Doucette took the win in the 15 lap feature for the White & Bradstreet Mini Trucks. It was his 4th win of the season, which is tops in the class. The 2nd and 3rd place trophies would go to brothers Jason and Donald Giggey after Opie Allard (2nd) and his father Roger Allard (4th) refused post race inspection.
