McKennedy checks out in second half,
captures Maine-Ly Action Sports 100
OXFORD, Maine - Jon McKennedy lost the lead twice in Saturday's
Maine-Ly Action Sports 100 at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Once the driver from Chelmsford,
Mass., returned to the front of the field in the True Value Modified
Series main event, however, the only thing he lost was his
competition.
McKennedy dominated the final 24 laps
to rule the third-annual event on the eve of Sunday's 36th annual TD
Banknorth 250 Presented By New England Dodge Dealers late model
race.
"I knew I had a good car. I just
kept telling myself not to abuse the tires," said McKennedy,
who surrendered the lead to both Rob Goodenough and Andy Seuss
before reclaiming it for keeps on lap 77.
Keith Iannarelli's spin brought out
only the second caution flag of the event and necessitated a
three-lap shootout at the finish. McKennedy got a strong jump on the
restart and left behind the second-place battle between Vernont's
Dwight Jarvis and Maine's David Pinkham.
Jarvis held on for second, with
defending race champion Pinkham third after starting 19th in the
22-car field.
Seuss and Ed Dachenhausen completed
the top five in the open-wheel showcase.
Double features for the Allen's
Coffee Flavored Brandy Strictly and Mini Stocks also provided ample
excitement on the card. The first round of 30-lap features was held
over from Friday night's partial rainout.
Sumner Sessions captured his first
win of the season in the opening half of the Strictly twin bill,
with Mike Short scoring his division-leading fourth win of the year
in the nightcap.
Reigning Mini champion Ashley
Marshall picked up his second checkered flag of the summer in the
make-up event. Justin Karkos snapped his modest two-race winless
streak in the encore, posting his fifth victory of 2009.
Qualifying for Sunday's summer
classic begins at 2 p.m. Tickets go on sale beginning at 10 a.m.
