UNITY – Farmingdale’s Johnny Clark overcame a flat tire late in the race to make his way through a diminished field and win an abbreviated Hight Chevrolet-Buick Long John 150 at Unity Raceway Saturday night.

The race was stopped with 23 laps remaining because Unity race officials had run out of the drying agent they use to soak up the oil as a result of the high number of accidents and mechanical mishaps.

There was a five-car wreck on lap 109 and on the ensuing restart, Clark and Morrill’s Travis Benjamin made contact. Benjamin’s car flew into a ditch near the flag stand and Clark had to go to the pits with the flat tire.

Clark eventually took over the lead and when another accident prompted a lap 127 caution, the race was halted.

Albion’s Steve Nelson finished second and rounding out the top 10 in the 26-car field were John Phippen Jr. of Town Hill, St. Albans’ Ricky Morse, Albion’s Dean Fuller, Newcastle’s Charlie Colby, Scott Chubbuck of Brunswick, Unity’s Tim Ferreira, Benjamin and Bangor’s Gary Smith.

Eddie McDonald of Rowley, Mass., took the win ahead of Stefanik. Mike Olsen of North Haverhill, N.H., finished third, 2005 Rookie of the Year Sean Caisse of Pelham, N.H., was fourth, and Uncasville, Conn.’s Matt Kobyluck rounded out the top five.
