JASON TRUNDY RETURNS TO 95 ENDURO VICTORY LANE

Old Town’s Jason Trundy returned to victory lane in the Little Enduros at Speedway 95 Wednesday night as he took his first win of the season. Trundy started fourth in the field and passed pole sitter Mike Witham of Milo for the lead on the fourth lap, and never looked back during the 20 lap caution free feature event. With good battles for position happening throughout the field, and lots of action when the leaders passed slower traffic, Paul Higgins of Newburgh emerged as the second place finisher. Higgins and Darren Durrell, also of Newburgh waged a fierce but clean battle for the second spot until Durrell’s exhaust system began dragging the track, upsetting the handling on his Honda Prelude. Durrell held on for a third place finish while Donny Blanchard worked his way from the back of the field to post a fourth place finish for the night. Witham, who won the first qualifier earlier in the evening, wound up fifth at the checkers. The second qualifier was won by Higgins.

DONNY BLANCHARD WINS 95 LITTLE ENDURO 75 LAPPER

Bangor’s Donny Blanchard used a desperation move to pass Newburgh’s Paul Higgins in turn four on the last lap to win the 75 lap MAC Tools/New England Transmission Little Enduro feature on Saturday night at Speedway 95. Blanchard had started the event on the outside pole by winning the second qualifier, and moved into the lead past Newburgh’s Darren Durrell on lap 2. It wasn’t long before Blanchard and the rest of the leaders started lapping slower cars, and Blanchard got caught behind a pack of them, falling as far back as 10th spot before starting his charge back to the front. At the halfway point, Higgins was leading, followed by Derek Cook of Wilton, Darren Durrell, Hermon’s Andrew Crosby, and Blanchard in fifth. Blanchard caught the break he needed on lap 60, when Michael Shaw of Troy slammed into the front stretch tire wall, bringing out the third and final red flag of the event. On the restart, Blanchard started making his move to the front, with 15 laps remaining. When the flagman signaled one to go, Blanchard was on Higgin’s bumper, but had been unable to make the pass the lead. Going into turn three on the last lap, Blanchard dove to the inside and, using Higgin’s car to hold his own on the track, forced Higgins high and made the pass for the lead coming out of turn four. Higgins finished in second, with Darren Durrell in third. Derek Cook finished fourth on the track, but was disqualified in the post race inspection, giving the fourth spot finish to Hermon’s Andrew Crosby. Mike Ogden of Bucksport was fifth. Durrell and Blanchard won the qualifying races, putting them on the front row for the feature.

RHONDA LYFORD WINS 95 LADIES FEATURE

2008 Ladies Division champion Rhonda Lyford of Winterport was back in victory lane Wednesday night at Speedway 95 as she led all 25 laps of the first of three extra points races in the Ladies series for 2009. Lyford had to work for the win as she held off a hard challenge from last week’s winner Shelby Kimball from Cornville. Kimball stayed close to Lyford for most of the event, but a loose handling car and a transmission that slipped out of gear with 5 laps to go prevented a close race to the finish. Kimball recovered to finish second, with Nicole Smith of Clifton coming back from an early race spin in turn one to take the third place trophy home. Becky Elston of Carmel and Kayla Allen of Bucksport rounded out the top five. Lyford also won the qualifier, which put her on the pole for the feature event.

The thoughts and prayers of the Speedway 95 racing community are with Ikey’s family during this very difficult time.  

(excerpt from the Press Release 6/6/09) The second Super Street event was interrupted on lap 11 when driver Ikey Dorr of Addison pulled his car to a stop on the front stretch just out of turn four. The wrecker crew came to assist, and Dorr waved to them to push him. As they attempted to push the car, it just drifted toward the infield. They then went to the car to see what happened, found Dorr unconscious in the car, and called for assistance from the track medical team. Efforts to resuscitate Dorr at the scene were unsuccessful, and a second ambulance was called to transport him to the hospital. Dorr was pronounced dead upon his arrival at the hospital due to a heart attack. Dorr was 56 and had been racing at Speedway 95 since 1988. His two sons were with him at the track Saturday night working on his pit crew.
