(Wiscasset, ME) Sunday at The Center of Speed, Dave St. Clair told Doug White, owner of the Wiscasset Raceway, that he would need to win at least one race every season to keep bring his car to the track. It looks like we’ll have racing legend Boss Hog around for the rest of 2010 as he takes the checkered flag in the Steel’s Real Rods & Customs Late Model Sportsman feature.
The LMS feature was an exciting race with Buxton’s Danny Smart leading most of the way. Boss Hog in the #14 car kept trying the outside line but was held off by the #6. Lots of door to door racing for the lead on Sunday! There were also great battles in the pack with Rowland “Rockin’” Robinson, Nick Hinkley and Josh St. Clair all fighting for a top spot. Then one of those tough moments in racing, the #6 car was pulling away on the front stretch when the back end got loose and put Danny Smart into a slide. Boss Hog pulled into the lead and kept it to the checkered flag. Danny Smart in the #6 car had a nice recovery and battled back into the top 5.

First Super Stock Win for Brooks
Winchester, NH: Mother nature would play a huge role with tonights feature events as rain shut down the remainder of the feature events just as the pro stocks were taking to the track. But some of the show had already been complete and fans had gotten a taste of fast wheel to wheel racing.

Cloutier would set the pace and never look back, leading the race by 1/2 a track. Cloutier, when discussing the win thanked “Mom and Dad” and the folks at Big Boys Racing for some well made adjustments to get him here.
