Last Saturday at the Wiscasset Speedway was warm and sun filled. Fans lined the bleachers to watch the group one division of racing. There was exciting racing action, and racing continued into the warm evening as the big lights of Wiscasset illuminated the track. Group one racing included: Prostock, New England Four Cylinder Prostock, Outlaw Mini, and Napa Super Street. The flex race of the week was an exhibition of modified race cars. During intermission the Woodside One Wheelers provided a unicycle race, and performed for the crowd. The night’s action would hand the division winners their first checkered flag of the year. For two of them it marked their first career win.
First on the track was a twenty-five lap Napa Super Street event. Starting on the pole was the #48 of Dan Nessmith. Behind him was the #06 of Zach Poland and the #2 of Josh Bailey. When green flag racing began, Bailey passed Poland right off the start for second. Poland went into a spin coming into turn two and the #88 of Jamie Norton moved to third. (more…)
