SCARBOROUGH, Maine — Bryan Kruczek of Newmarket, New Hampshire, claimed his first-ever victory in a Super Late Model car in the Southern Maine Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram 150 for AIM PASS Super Late Models Saturday at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway.
Kruczek led early and late in the 150-lap grind, swapping the top spot with hometown racer Kelly Moore through the opening stages of the race, cruising with the contenders during a stretch dominated by Turner’s Glen Luce, then outrunning a late charge by Dave Oliver of Standish.
Oliver made an impressive closing run that sliced Kruczek’s once-healthy lead to a margin of victory of about a car length.
Joey Doiron of Berwick rallied late to score a third-place finish after starting in 12th. Mike Rowe of Turner finished fourth and Johnny Clark of Farmingdale was fifth.
