\"\"WISCASSET SPEEDWAY OUTRACES THE RAIN SATURDAY NIGHT<\/strong>
\nby Ken Minott<\/p>\n

There was little doubt that rain would arrive in midcoast Maine late Saturday afternoon. But that didn’t shake the determination of race teams and track officials to get in their scheduled race program. Following their regular practice rounds, the race teams gathered for a meeting and made the decision to skip their qualifying heat races and jump right to feature action in order to beat the approaching weather. The show featured action in all four Group 1 divisions plus a 100 lap Enduro. In the 35 lap spotlight feature for the Cahill Tire 4-Cylinder Pros, West Gardiner’s Hayden Norris remained undefeated on the season, starting deep in the field and taking the lead by halfway. From there he ran to a relatively easy win. As of press time, the victory remains unofficial pending engine inspection, which is required after a driver’s 3rd win. Defending champ Max Rowe would be credited with 2nd place and rookie Nicole Benincasa of Buxton took 3rd. In support feature action, Wiscasset’s Nick Hinkley grabbed his second straight win in the ServPro of Biddeford Saco Pro Stocks 40 lapper. He was chased across the line by Nick Reno of West Bath and Charlie Colby of Newcastle. Mike Hodgkins of Jefferson took home top honors in the 25 lap feature for the Maxwells Market Super Streets. It was his first win of the season. Division champs Josh Bailey of Wiscasset and Mark Lucas of Harpswell took the other two spots in victory lane. The 25 lap feature for the Thunder 4 Minis went to Travis Poulliot of South China. Noah Haggett of Wiscasset was 2nd and Cameron Campbell of New Gloucester 3rd. With the rain starting to fall, the Enduro drivers rolled onto the track with drivers looking to reach 100 laps before the 1-hour time limit or the rain got too heavy. Nathan Haley of Wiscasset led the entire race wire to wire for the win. <\/p>\n

Wiscasset Speedway returns to action with a huge slate of action Friday thru Sunday wrapping up with the annual Coastal 200. Monster Truck Throwdown makes its first-ever appearance at the coastal Maine track on Friday and Saturday for two shows presented by Bozzuto’s Inc. Friday’s event has gates opening at 4:00 pm and a free 2-hour pit party for ticket holders at 5:00 pm followed by the main event at 7:00 pm. Saturday afternoon’s show has gates opening at 11:00 am, pit party at 12 noon, and the showtime at 2:00 pm. The shows are rain or shine and tickets are still available at the gate for both shows. Adult tickets (14 yrs & up) are $18. Kids tickets (4 – 13 yrs) are $12. The big Memorial Day weekend schedule concludes on Sunday afternoon with the running of the annual Coastal 200 presented by Jordan Lumber & Jordan Excavation. The race will feature many of the top Late Model Sportsman drivers in the region racing for their share of a $25,000 purse, including $5,000 to win. The show will also feature action in Modifieds, Outlaw Minis, and Strictly Streets. Grand Tickets for Sunday’s race are $5 with kids 6&under free). Also, all veterans and active duty military will receive free grandstand admission as a thank you for their service. Pitside admission on Sunday is $20 for all.
