HERMON, Maine — Jim Bragdon of Corinth made it two in a row in the Strictly Street division at Speedway 95 Saturday night after a race -long battle with division points leader Alex Berry of Harrington, who finished a close second.
Bragdon started on the outside pole of the Pine Tree Waste 35-lap series event, with Berry in the pole starting position after winning the evening’s qualifier. Bragdon took the early lead with Berry glued to his bumper.
Following a lap-16 caution, Berry assumed the point, but the caution flew again on lap 18. On that restart, Berry and Bragdon raced side by side until Berry took the lead on lap 27. The caution flew again on lap 28 and again on lap 29 for solo spins by last year’s champion, Shelby Kimball of Cornville, who retired to the pit following the lap-29 caution.
On the restart, Berry took the lead, but Bragdon stayed close on the outside and retook the lead on lap 33, holding Berry off until the checkered flag flew on lap 35. Berry finished in second with Jordan Pearson of Glenburn, recovering from a qualifying race wreck, finishing in third. Matt Kimball of Cornville finished fourth with Jeff Alley of Machias finishing in fifth.
