A Memorial Day weekend tradition is returning to Maine’s fastest track this Sunday May 25th with the running of the 2014 Coastal 200, presented by Jordan Lumber and Jordan Excavation. The 200 lap Late Model Sportsman main event will feature many of the top LMS drivers in the northeast region all gunning for their share of the $18,700 purse. The winner will take home the $3,000 top prize and also try to pocket an additional $3,000+ in lap leader bonus money. AR Bodies is also kicking in a special award for the race’s Hard Charger Award, given to the driver who advances the most positions from their starting spot. “We’re all so excited to bring this race back for our fans” said track announcer / promoter Ken Minott. “As soon as the Jordan family reopened this track people were asking for this race. Yeah, it’s a big race, but like all of our shows, we want to make it accessible and affordable for families to come see. So we’re keeping it right at our weekly admission price. We’re looking for a packed house and a great race”
Entries for the race include former track champs Chris Thorne, Allan Moeller, Will Collins, and Dan Trask, plus current division leader Nick Hinckley and multi time winner Jeff Burgess. Outsiders coming in to try to take the money away include reigning ACT champion Wayne Helliwell Jr, along with JR Robinson, Dave Farrington, John Brill, and a host of others.
