John Curtis Jr. of Hermon grabbed the lead from 2019 champion Kris Matchett of Skowhegan on a lap-20 restart and held off last week’s winner Brenton Parritt of Steuben to capture his second win of the season in the Dysart’s Late Models at Speedway 95 on Saturday night.
Curtis started on the outside pole, next to Matchett, and chased him for the first 20 laps until the race’s only caution flag slowed the field. On the restart, Curtis surged to the front, with Matchett falling to fourth. Curtis then had to hold off Parritt for the last half or the 40-lap feature to secure the win.
Parritt finished second, with Matchett recovering to place third. Dean Smart of Milford was fourth and Cole Robinson of Clinton was fifth. Matchett won the division’s single qualifying event.
