\"\"A SUPER DAY FOR JEFFERSON’S MIKE HODGKINS AT WISCASSET SPEEDWAY<\/strong>
\nby Ken Minott<\/p>\n

It was a hot Saturday evening in Wiscasset and Group 1 was on the schedule, which included a special 75 lap main event for the Maxwell’s Market Super Streets. It didnt take long for fans and fellow competitors to see that the only thing hotter than the weather was driver Mike Hodgkins. The veteran from Jefferson put on a clinic with a convincing victory in their biggest race of the season. In the race, presented by Ward & Sons Construction 16 of the 17 drivers in attendance answered to bell for the main event, Hodgkins took advantage of his pole position starting spot and patiently worked the lap traffic for the seemingly easy win. The race was slowed by just two mid-race cautions.<\/p>\n

Former champ Jason Oakes was the only other driver credited with leading a lap, besting Hodgkins by inches on the lap after one of those restarts. All drivers struggled with slick track conditions fighting extremely loose cars and fading traction. Reigning division champ Josh Bailey started alongside Hodgkins on the front row. He would drop as far back as 4th at one point but raced his way back to a runner-up finish. Oakland’s Sean Johnson got by Oakes in the closing laps to finish 3rd. In other action, Dave Farrington of Jay started 7th in the 15 car field for the 40 lap feature for the ServPro of Biddeford Saco Prostocks. He chased down polesitter Charlie Colby and took the lead just before the halfway marker. From there he withstood a handful of late-race restarts to grab his 2nd win of the season. He was joined in victory lane by Jeremy Whorff and Kevin Douglass. Cameron Campbell of New Gloucester took home his first career win in the Thunder 4 Minis. Opening day winner Michael Golding took home runner-up honors followed by Zach Audet of Skowhegan. In the Cahill Tire 4-cylinder Pros Dominic Curit of Saco made history, picking up his first career win and becoming the track’s youngest ever feature winner at just 11yrs old. He took advantage of a late race restart after Hayden Norris and Max Rowe tangled racing for the lead. Curit was joined in victory lane by Connor Wenners of Edgecomb (who had previously held the age record) and veteran Craig Dunn of Strong.
\n Wiscasset Speedway returns to action Saturday, June 23rd with Group 2 returning to the 3\/8 mile oval. The flex race will be a special exhibition race for the kids GoKart racers.
