Waterford Speedbowl has announced a schedule change for its Wednesday, July 3 Wild ‘n Wacky racing program. The original schedule for the event included a fireworks display to conclude the night’s activities. The fireworks have been moved to the
July 31 Wild ‘n Wacky Wednesday program due to circumstances out of track
management’s control.
“We regret to inform fans of this news” offered Speedbowl owner and promoter Terry Eames. “We received word that we are unable to have fireworks for our July 3 program. However, we are committed to providing our Wednesday fans with a fireworks show. We’ve announced July 31 as the new date for the show.”
A persistent drizzle and a forecast for heavy rains forced Thompson Speedway management to cancel the race program for Thursday, June 27. Racing will return to the historic 5/8ths mile oval on Thursday, July 11.

SCARBOROUGH, Maine – Bobby Timmons III of Windham, Maine, finished a career-best third in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Pro Series 100 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, on Saturday, June 29. Timmons started seventh in his second career start in the marquee event of the season for the Pro Series division, and he patiently logged laps inside the Top-10 until first cracking the Top-5 at the 75-lap mark. He capitalized on a late-race restart to gain much-needed track position and pull out the podium finish. It was the first race in a four-day span for the driver of the Mulkern Racing No. 48 Southern Maine Chrysler Dodge Jeep/Timmons Machine Dodge, as Timmons returns to Beech Ridge for the Miller Lite 50 on Tuesday, July 2.

SCARBOROUGH, Maine – Dan McKeage of Gorham, Maine, finished sixth in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Pro Series 100 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, on Saturday, June 29. McKeage pitted on multiple occasions to make chassis adjustments on the Naughty 40 Racing No. 40 Top Gun Construction Chevrolet and work his way into the Top-10 in the late going. On a final green-white-checkered restart, McKeage got a good restart on the outside lane and was able to fight his way up to sixth at the finish.
