HERMON, Maine — John Curtis Jr. of Hermon led from the pole in the Dysarat’s Late Models and went on to earn his first victory of the season at Speedway 95 on Saturday night.
A tap from Skowhegan’s Kris Matchett sent Curtis spinning off turn three just two laps into the race as the pair raced side by side for the lead. Matchett admitted fault and Curtis was reinstated at the front of the field.
With the exception of laps seven and eight, that were led by Milford’s Deane Smart, Curtis stayed at the head of the pack to the checkers, posting the victory.
Brenton Parritt of Steuben came from a 10th-place start to finish second, passing Winterport’s Ryan Dean on lap 35 of the 40-lap event. Dean finished third, with Matchett and Smart rounding out the top five. Parritt and Curtis won the qualifiers.
