Wiscasset, ME- Every Saturday night at Wiscasset Raceway is exciting. The crowd on their feet cheering on their favorite drivers. The drivers racing hard, side by side and fender to fender for the ultimate prize, the checkered flag.. The pit crews working constantly to try and get their car to go just a little bit better then the crew in the next pit stall over. Sound like fun to you? Well then come on out to The Center of Speed, Wiscasset Raceway on Saturday at 5pm and Sunday at 2pm to see a full card of action packed stock car racing. The 150 lap Late Model portion of the 300 weekend has more then just $5,000 pay day to the winner but the driver who crosses the finish line first will have a guaranteed starting spot in the A.C.T Invitational at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, N.H. Whoever the winner may be the win is not going to come easy Chris Thorne, Joey Pole and T.J. Watson just to name a few have already signed up. If that wasn’t enough how about the 150 lap Pro-Stock portion of the big weekend which will feature such drivers as Mike Rowe, Scott Chubbuck, Charlie Colby and Scott Moore and more. The biggest news for the weekend though may just be Johnny Clark who will be attempting to compete in both 150 lap races Sunday and is looking to be the first driver to ever win two 150 lap races on the same day at Wiscasset Raceway. Also race fans bring your campers and tents because Saturday Night Crazy Larry, Maine Elvis impersonator will be performing and hosting karaoke.

Operation Recognition is a non-profit, non-partisan group, founded to deliver a long-overdue Thank-you! to our servicemen and women. They risk their lives for our protection and well-being and we believe they deserve a meaningful gesture of appreciation: a week of R&R in Maine. We’re here to make it the best possible experience these soldiers and their families could ever imagine.
