ANDREW MCLAUGHLIN WINS IKEY DORR RACE AT SPEEDWAY 95

Andrew McLaughlin of Harrington made it two for two as he won the annual Ikey Dorr Memorial Street Stock race at Speedway 95 for the second year in a row. This win was a lot harder than last years as Jim Carr Jr. of Clifton stayed on the inside of McLaughlin from a lap 5 restart until McLaughlin finally pulled to the lead following a red flag incident on lap 33. The pair raced side by side, swapping the lead and picking up $25.00 in lap money each time they led at the stripe. The final restart occurred on lap 33 when Bernie Thayer of Hermon exploded his motor going into turn one and rolling over after hitting the dirt berm. Pole-sitter Chris Jacobson of Seabrook N.H. and Duane Dunifer of Carmel were also eliminated from the event as they spun in Thayer’s oil and ended up on the dirt berm with Thayer. McLaughlin took the lead from Carr on that restart and led the rest of the way to the victory. Carr finished a close second with Adam Chadbourne of Woolwich right behind Carr in third. Carl McAlpine of Burnham finished fourth with Dave Brannon of Lisbon in fifth. Twenty-two of the twenty-five cars entered in the event that paid $1,500.00 to the winner took the green flag.
