WISCASSET

Wiscasset Speedway had racing action last Saturday with Group 1 on track.

The full moon loomed overhead and seemed to add in its usual plot twists and turns. Super Streets and Thunder 4 Minis ran double features in an effort to make up a previously rained out event. Also in action were Pro Stocks, 4-Cylinder Pros, and a 100-lap Enduro to wrap up the show.

In the 25-lap make-up feature for the Maxwell’s Market Super Streets, Jefferson’s Mike Hodgkins reclaimed the division point lead in picking up his second win of the year. Rookie David Thompson notched his first podium finish in second place, with Michael Harrison in third.

In the regularly-scheduled 25-lap spotlight feature, former two-time champ Jason Oakes of Boothbay held off reigning two-time champ Josh Bailey in claiming his first checkered flag of the season. Bailey settled for second and Hodgkins backed up his earlier win with a third-place finish.

The Thunder 4 Mini 25-lap make-up feature had Albion’s Spencer Sweatt charge up from the back of the pack to pick up his fourth win of the season, tops in the class. The race was marred by several cautions and was called official with 19 laps complete. Sweatt was joined in Victory Lane by Noah Haggett of Woolwich and point leader Michael Golding of Pownal.

In the second race of the night for the Thunder 4’s, Brunswick’s David Greenleaf drove his battered race car to his first career win. David Cook of Jay and Haggett took home the second and third-place trophies, respectively.

The ServPro of Biddeford Saco Pro Stocks had a 40-lap feature on the card. The action was fast and furious up at the front of the pack as Richmond’s Cody Tribbet withstood constant pressure from veteran Kevin Douglass of Sidney. Never separated by more than a car length, Douglass looked high and low and tried nearly every trick in his arsenal, but was unable to rattle the sophomore racer. Tribbet finally received some breathing room over the final three laps to nail down his second win of the season. Douglass settled for second. They were joined in Victory Lane by rookie James Barker of Jay, who made his first podium appearance.

The Cahill Tire 4-Cylinder Pro division was once again dominated by West Gardiner’s Hayden Norris. He started deep in the field and picked his way to the lead by the midway point of the 25- lap feature. From there he cruised to his track-high sixth win of the season. Jefferson’s Ryan Hayes picked up second-place finish, while defending champ Max Rowe of Turner was third.

The show finished with a wild and crazy 100-lap Enduro that rolled out 55 cars for the race. Several cautions slowed the action and thinned the field. In the end, Dylan Lancaster of Skowhegan had lapped the competition and won the race by nearly three laps.

Wiscasset Speedway returns to action with a Labor Day weekend doubleheader. On Saturday night at 5 p.m., the Speedway will feature Group 2 action with the annual 75-lap Outlaw Mini Madness race, plus Strictly Streets, Late Model Sportsman, and Nelcar Legends.

Pit gates will open at 1 p.m., grandstand gate at 3 p.m., and racing action starts at 5 p.m.

In the Sunday show, it will be the annual Boss Hogg 150 Pro Stock race, named after former track owner and Hall of Fame driver Dave “Boss Hogg” St. Clair. The race will attract many of the top teams in the region all vying for the $5,000 winner’s take. Also in action will be the K&A Property Services Modifieds and the Wicked Good Vintage Racers.
