\nWISCASSET SPEEDWAY OFFICIAL RESULTS 7\/2\/18
\nby Ken Minott<\/p>\n

Loyal race fans gathered on a hot Saturday evening for Group 1 Fan Appreciation Night at Wiscasset Speedway. Drivers treated them to a prerace meet & greet autograph session on the track. Then the kids got to take their turn with bike races for kids from 3 to 12 years old. Trophies & smiles were plentiful. Fans were also treated to a visit from the Maine Cabin Masters. The stars of the DIY Network and Discovery Channel show signed autographs for fans and participated in some of the day’s activities. On the schedule was also action in all 4 weekly Group 1 divisions. The spotlight race was a 50 lapper for the ServPro of Biddeford Saco Prostocks. Other than the usual spoils of victory, the race offered the winner a provisional starting spot in the $10,000 to win SLM \/ Prostock Nationals at Seekonk Speedway on July 18th. Point leader Nick Hinkley didn’t take long to lay his claim to the prize. He started 6th, but took just 5 laps to charge along the outside lane and grab the lead. From there he survived several mid-race restarts and challenges from a handful of drivers Daren Ripley, Kevin Douglass and Nick Reno on his way to the victory. It was his division high 3rd checkered flag of the season. As of press time, the victory remains unofficial pending engine inspection, which is mandatory following a driver’s 3rd win. Ripley took the runner-up honors followed by Douglass. Joe Decker of Chesterville started deep in the starting field and finished 4th. Pole sitter Cody Tribbett of Richmond faded early in the race but rebounded to finish 5th.<\/p>\n

In support feature action Edgecomb’s Connor Wenners took top honors in the 25 lap feature for the Cahill Tire 4-cylinder Pros. He ran unchallenged to the win, his first of the season. 11 yr old rookie Dominic Curit of Saco backed up his win from 2 weeks earlier with a 2nd place trophy. Ryan Hayes of Jefferson finished 3rd. In the 25 lap feature for the Thunder 4 Mini’s, veteran Zach Audet of Skowhegan, who also leads the track’s Outlaw Mini points, took his first win in the T-4’s. The victory came following post-race inspection after perceived winner Spencer Sweatt was given a 3 position penalty for a motor mount infraction. David Greenleaf of Brunswick would be awarded 2nd followed by Michael Golding of Pownal 3rd. The Maxwell’s Market Super Streets were coming off their big 75 lapper from 2 weeks earlier to run their regular 25 lap distance. Two of the division’s top drivers walked away from a scary wreck on the front stretch as defending champ Josh Bailey lost control of his car coming onto the front stretch, cutting left into traffic and collecting point leader Mike Hodgkins. The two slammed into the tire barrier protecting the end of the turn 1 wall at a high rate of speed. Fortunately, both walked away unhurt. When all was said and done, former champ Mark Lucas of Harpswell notched his 2nd win of the season. He was joined in victory lane by Jason Oakes of Boothbay and Zac Poland of Woolwich.<\/p>\n

Wiscasset Speedway returns to action Saturday, July 7th with Group 2. The Wood Pellet Warehouse Late Model Sportsman, Norms Used Cars Strictly Streets, Kennebec Equipment Rental Outlaw Minis, and K&A Property Services Modifieds will all be in action. The Flex race for the weekend will be a 100 lap Enduro. Pit gates will open at 2:00 pm, Grandstand gates at 4:00 pm, and racing action begins at 6:00 pm. Fans can enjoy an evening at the track for just $5 grandstand admission (kids 6&under free), or $20 to get into the pits.
