Kobyluck tips Santerre in Busch North

BEAVER FALLS, N.Y. – Matt Kobyluck of Oakdale, Conn. captured the Kinney Drugs 150 Busch North race at Adirondack International Speedway Saturday night, holding off points leader Andy Santerre of Cherryfield by one second.

Kobyluck, who was involved in wrecks in two races at New Hampshire International Raceway the previous weekend, gained the lead on lap 95 when Scarborough’s Ryan Moore had to pit after tangling with a lapped car.

Kobyluck led all but one lap the rest of the way to notch his first win since 2002.

Mike Olsen of No. Haverhill, N.H., who is chasing Santerre in the points, finished third.

Santerre, who was gunning for his fifth win in 10 races, extended his lead over Olsen to 37 points by passing Olsen on the last lap.

Joey McCarthy of Randolph, N.J. and Brian Hoar of Colchester, Vt. rounded out the top five.

Scarborough’s Kelly Moore finished sixth, son Ryan wound up ninth and Yarmouth’s Billy Penfold came home 12th.

Maine Forest ProRally

At Rumford Saturday, Paul Choiniere was the first to cross the main time control at Oquassoc and had the best overall times, but his victory at the Maine Forest ProRally was questioned by runner-up Tom Lawless.

Choiniere was second to Pat Richard after Friday’s first round. Andrew Comrie-Picard sits in third place pending the outcome of the protest.
