MOTOR MAYHEM
August 7, 2009
Kyle, Kurt Hewins steal show;
Jason Black captures full-size Enduro
OXFORD, Maine – The brother act of Kyle and Kurt Hewins was
heavily involved in almost every facet of a wildly successful second
Motor Mayhem of the summer Friday night at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Kurt Hewins outlasted four rivals and owned the "last boat
standing" in Oxford's inaugural trailer race. Hewins celebrated
in unforgettable fashion by sawing on the steering wheel, tipping
his own boat, then destroying the one-time watercraft by driving the
car borrowed from Dale Sanborn completely through it.
Minutes earlier, Hewins' race-long stalking of leader Jason Black
was the highlight of a 50-lap Enduro for full-size cars.
"They told me to go after him," Hewins said. "I was
just trying to make it fun for the fans."
Black won the $500 first-place check with a last-lap pass, anyway,
when leader Bobby Scammon was forced off the backstretch to avoid a
spinning lapped car.
Mike Kyllonen, Billy Rideout and Gerald Parlin rounded out the top
five in the 25-car field. Amazingly, all five finished on the lead
lap.
Kyle Hewins and Skip Douglass Jr. ran one-two in the 50-lap
companion event for compact cars. They also joined forces to
dominate a 20-lap tag team race.
The younger Hewins, who already owns seven Acceleration Series
victories this season, recovered from an early-race spin to reel in
race leader Josh Childs on lap 35.
Childs dropped from the picture with mechanical difficulties,
vaulting Jamie Heath to third, Nick Hanson to fourth and Guy Childs
to fifth.
For the second straight Motor Mayhem,
Bruce Berry defeated brother Dennis Berry in the Spectator Drags
final. Bruce swept the best-of-three conclusion.
Doug Dixon edged Junior Kimball in a rambunctious Smoky Donut Show
competition, with previous champion Jim Pineo and Billy Dixon also
reaping rave reviews from the appreciative crowd.
The Dodge Raminator monster track and Vertical Outlaws motorcycle
stunt team also showcased their precision and skill for the fans.
