Maine’s fast oval track is ready to embark on its 45th season on Saturday afternoon April 19th at 2:00pm. It also marks the second full season under the ownership and guidance of Richard and Vanessa Jordan on Kingfield. The 2014 season will once again feature a split schedule where the track’s 8 regular divisions are divided into 2 groups which alternate week to week. Group 1 consists of Pro Stocks, Napa Super Streets, Outlaw Mini’s and N.E.4-cylinder Pro’s. Group 2 will include Late Model Sportsman, Strictly Streets, Thunder 4 Minis, and Trucks. Each week a “Flex” race will be added to give fans a 5 division show. Flex races include various regional touring series, or other events such as Enduros or Flagpole races. Track announcer / promoter Ken Minott says they are excited to get the season underway. “Last year we were just getting the operation off the ground. We brought a new team together and tried a few new & creative things to bring Wiscasset Speedway back to life after being dormant for a couple years. Now we’re excited to take the next steps toward making this facility everything we know it can be. Once again it will all be about giving fans a fun, affordable and timely show. We’ve got some bigger races and other neat things planned for the fans this season too.”
The 2014 schedule will be highlighted by the return of The Coastal 200 Late Model Sportsman race Memorial Day weekend; NEMA Midgets & NEMA Lites in early June; Mainely Motorsports TV Fan Appreciation Night and Wiscasset Speedway’s 45th Birthday Celebration, both in July; The Boss Hogg 100 Pro Stock race in August; and the McKeage’s Top Gun Strictly Shootout in September.
This Saturday’s opening day program will showcase the Group 1 divisions plus the first of several appearances of the NELCAR Legend series. Pit gates will open at 10:00am, grandstand gate at 12noon and racing begins at 2:00pm. Grandstand admission is $5 with kids 6&under free. Pit admission is $20. Wiscasset Speedway is located on the West Alna Rd in Wiscasset, Maine.
