Derbyshire wins at Unity Turner, Trask, Burgess, Bickford also post victories

UNITY – Mount Vernon’s Judd Derbyshire took his third checkered flag of the season in the Late Model Pro-4 class, overcoming a mid-race spin and holding off newcomer Tim Robinson of Clinton by two car-lengths Saturday night.

It was the second event in the class’s Triple Crown Series.

Derbyshire, who had been involved in a lap-11 wreck with Starks’ Steve Rackliff, inherited the lead on a lap 25 restart prompted by a wreck involving Vassalboro’s Ed Drake Jr., Robinson and Paul Shorette of Winslow.

He then held off the charging Robinson.

Rackliff was third, Drake finished fourth and Norm Cummings Jr. wound up fifth.
