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.

It was a beautiful day last Saturday at the Wiscasset Speedway.  The sun was shining, and fans gathered to watch the group two division of races including Thunder 4’s, Strictly Street, Mini Trucks, and Late Model Sportsman.  The flex race of the week was a New England Pro 4 Tour feature.  The tour visited the track last year, and Bryan Lancaster from Skowhegan was last year’s winner

First on the track was the spotlighted race of the week, a 35 lap Strictly Street feature.  Starting on the pole was the #36 of Richard Spaulding.  The # 32 of Tasha Dyer, and Gerry Freve of the #39 were behind him.

Freve passed Dyer during lap two on turn one for second.  Freve and Dyer battled for second.  Dyer was able to claim second back after a caution during lap seven caused a restart.   Dyer passed Freve on the inside of turn one when racing action resumed.  Back in the pack was Corey Morgan of the #26.  Morgan was weaving through lap traffic, and had moved to fourth position from his thirteenth place start by lap six.  Morgan also used the caution to his advantage and passed Freve for third on the inside of the backstretch.
