Wiscasset Speedway brought the action under the lights Saturday night with Group 1 in action, plus the Nelcar Legends.

The ServPro of Biddeford- Saco Prostocks 40-lap feature wrapped up the program, with Palmyra’s Ajay Picard securing his first career Prostock victory in dominant fashion, besting the runner-up by over seven seconds.

In Victory Lane, Picard acknowledged, “I’ve lost one before by letting up too soon, I wasn’t going to let that happen this time.”

Thomaston’s Daren Ripley settled for second, while point leader Charlie Colby took third.

In the 35-lap spotlight feature for the New England 4- cylinder Prostocks, Windham’s Austin Teras started at the back of the field and raced his way to his second win of the season. Max Rowe of Turner reclaimed the point lead in the class as he held off defending champ Kamren Knowles for runner up honors. Knowles settled for third.

Brian Sweatt of Albion took his first Wiscasset win in the 25-lap Thunder 4 Mini feature. Noah Haggett of Woolwich ran his best race in two years with a second-place finish. Point leader Allan Melcher made his usual appearance in Victory Lane, claiming the third- place trophy.

The 2015 Super Street champion Josh Bailey picked up his second straight win in the 25-lap feature. The win further tightened Bailey’s grip on the division point lead.

Teammate Zac Poland of Woolwich was the highlight of the race, holding the lead for the first 15 laps and earning a second- place finish, his first career podium finish. Defending champ Mark Lucas of Harpswell took third.

In the 25- lap flex division feature for the Amsoil Nelcar Legends, Chris Burgess of Buckfield took the win and was joined in Victory Lane by Thomas Everson of Gilmanton, N. H., and Kevin Girard Jr., of Old Orchard Beach.
