COOMBS LATE MODEL WIN HIGHLIGHTS WEEK 2 PROGRAM AT WISCASSET SPEEDWAY
BY: Lisa Maguire
Another breezy, cool day did not stop racers and fans alike from heading to the Wiscasset Speedway this past Saturday. This was “Group Two” division racing and included: Strictly Streets, Mini Trucks, Outlaw Mini’s, Late Model Sportsman, and the flex race of the week was a ten lap backwards race.
Starting the action was the Strictly Streets feature. Brian Robbins of Montville, Maine lined up at the pole position for the 20 lap race. Robbins took the early lead in the event and maintained a solid advantage, but faltered during the last two laps. This allowed Guy Childs Sr. of Turner an opportunity to sweep away with the lead and take it to victory lane for the win. Corey Morgan of Lewiston and Tasha Dyer of Arrowsic, battled it out for second and third, respectively.

Reid Lanpher
Dirty Dozen Cup: Reid Lanpher
Southern Nat’l Motorsports Park Race Report
KENLY, N.C. – Fourteen-year-old Reid Lanpher of Manchester, Maine, continued his impressive performance with JR Motorsports, finishing third in the second half of the Dirty Dozen Cup Twin 100s at Southern National Motorsports Park in Kenly, N.C., on Saturday, April 6. In addition to his career-best finish in the No. 8 JR Motorsports Chevrolet, Lanpher also posted his best career qualifying effort with a fifth-place run in time trials earlier in the day. Lanpher started ninth in the second 100-lap Late Model Stock feature and was running down the leaders after climbing all the way to third by the time the checkered flag flew in the caution-free event. In the first 100-lap race, he was running inside the Top-10 when contact from another competitor shuffled him to the back half of the field before Lanpher rallied to finish ninth. Lanpher now has two Top-5 finishes and four straight Top-10s – all in the last four races – with the team owned by NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. (more…)
