WISCASSET SPEEDWAY PRESS RELEASE JUNE 6, 2015
THE HEWINS DOMINATE STRICTLY STREET
Wiscasset Speedway held its weekly races last Saturday. The warm summer day turned into a cool summer evening, and the cars raced under the big lights. Fans were gathered to watch five races: Strictly Street, Outlaw Mini’s, Late Model Sportsman, Modifieds, and the flex race of the week was the Amsoil Nelcar Legends.
First on the track were the Strictly Streets for a Spotlighted main event of thirty-five laps. Heat winner Bryan Robbins of the #51X started at the pole with the #51 of Kyle Hewins beside him. In third was Chanler Harrison of the #85.
When the green flag waved over the track, Bryan Robbins and Kyle Hewins raced door to door. Behind was a battle for third, with the #83 of Dan Brown moving from his sixth place start to third when he passed Harrison on the back stretch during lap one.

Polewarczyk Takes Third Win of Season in People’s United Bank 100
West Haven, VT – Defending American-Canadian Tour (ACT) Champion Joey Polewarczyk Jr. took his third win of the season in the People’s United Bank 100 at Devil’s Bowl Speedway on Saturday, June 6.
Hudson, NH’s “Joey Pole” worked his way up from the seventh starting position and got inside Tour point leader Wayne Helliwell Jr. on lap 74 of the 100-lap event. Pole completed the pass a lap later and motored away to win a caution-free race.
“You never really expect a race to go caution-free, but with this Tour, it can happen,” Pole said. “100 laps is kind of a short race for us, so our plan was to try and get to the front as quick as we could. But in the beginning I was battling with Travis Stearns and couldn’t really make much ground. So I backed off for a little while, and finally said ‘let’s try it again’.

SCOTT ENDS CROSBY’S WIN STREAK AT 5 WITH SPEEDWAY 95 WIN
Carmel’s Jeremy Scott led the first 2 laps of the Street’s Landscaping Series 30 lap feature for the Coca-Cola Sport-Fours Saturday night at Speedway until he was passed by Donny Silva of Hudson on lap 3. Scott remained in second place to the checkers, fighting off Jason Trundy of Winterport and Andrew Crosby of Hermon as the three raced nose to tail all race long. Trundy ran behind Crosby until lap 25, when he snuck by on the inside after pinning Crosby behind a lapped car. Trundy then challenged Scott to the flag, but was unable to make the pass. In post-race inspection, Silva, who crossed the finish line first, was disqualified for being 120 pounds under the weight minimum. Scott was declared the winner, with Trundy taking second and Crosby third. Chris Carroll of Alton placed fourth, with Clinton’s Tim Robinson in fifth.

Gate City Classic an Important Piece to the Championship Puzzle
HUDSON, NH – With the point battle beginning to take shape early, the Granite State Pro Stock Series will travel to one of the most unique tracks on the circuit, Hudson International Speedway, for the Gate City Classic, June 14.
Young Gun Derek Griffith leads the standings entering the fourth of twelve events on the Granite State Pro Stock Series (GSPSS) schedule. Finishing in the top four in each race to begin the season, Griffith holds a slim two-point advantage over Barry Gray, and just eight points back to Larry Gelinas in third, entering the event. Hudson International Speedway is Derek Griffith’s home-track, but has yet to pick up a victory at the ¼ mile facility with the series, whereas Gelinas visited Victory Lane in 2014.
