This week saw Josh Bailey of Wiscasset score his first career win at the Wiscasset Speedway.

Bailey leapt to the lead and left the pack behind him during the 25-lap Super Stock race. James Osmond of Wiscasset and Adam Chadbourne of Woolwich jockeyed for second position during the opening lap. On turn three, Chadbourne passed Osmond on the outside. Osmond was unable to maintain his momentum and allowed Bobby Mesimer of Wiscasset to overtake him in turn one of the following lap.

Mesimer eventually tracked down Chadbourne and his chance came in lap 11. In lap 12, Chadbourne and Osmond tangled on the back stretch. Osmond went to the pit with right front end damage. With no more cautions, the race quickly concluded with Bailey in first.

Once in victory lane, Bailey said, “I struggled bad last race, but this week makes up for it.”

Second went to Mesimer, and 2013 two-time Wiscasset Super Stock winner Chadbourne, placed third.

The first feature of the evening was a 20-lap New England 4-Cylinder Prostock race. Brad Zahensky of Bow, N.H., had the pole position and surged ahead early on with Dave Patten and Mike Swett on his heels. Zahensky quickly had a five-car length lead and finished first, with Patten second and Swett placed third. Travis Dunbar of Lisbon was fourth.

Included in this week’s group one division of racing were the Thunder 4’s. This 15-lap feature was swift and uncomplicated. Jamie Heath started at the pole and spent the race looking out his rear view mirror, watching his competitors try to catch up. Behind Heath were Leandra Martin of Richmond and Mike Delaney of Richmond.

The flex event of the week was a Spectator Drag. After six heats, Cory Creamer from Randolf and Forest Peasley of Jefferson faced off in a three-lap challenge.

The highlighted feature of the night was the 30-lap Prostock. In the pole position was John Rideout, followed by two-time Prostock winner Jeff Burgess.

The two raced neck and neck, even clipping each other in lap three on turn three. Chris Thorne was behind the duo. An end for the battle for first came in lap six, when Burgess finally pulled ahead of Rideout on the back stretch.

In lap eight, Thorne lost control on the front stretch. There was a resulting scuffle, but no caution was called.

Burgess eventually became a three-time winner at Wiscasset. Penfold placed second and Thorne third.

Wiscasset Speedway resumes racing action this upcoming Saturday with its group two lineup of divisions: Strictly Street, Mini Trucks, Outlaw Mini and Late Model Sportsman. The flex race of the week will be a ladies race to celebrate the Mother’s Day weekend.
