DYER SPEEDS HER WAY TO FIRST NAPA SUPER STREET WIN
Last Saturday was Mainely Motorsports night at Wiscasset Speedway. Mainely Motorsports host, Steve Perry, was on hand. Perry was greeting fans as they arrived, passing out t-shirts and goodie bags filled with items. Perry also gave away kids bikes to ten lucky children who participated in the Wiscasset Speedway Kid’s Club. The Kid’s Club is a weekly feature at Wiscasset Speedway.
Perry said, “This is our third year of having a Mainely Motorsports night here at Wiscasset Speedway, and I really enjoy it. I try to get more involved with the crowd and the drivers. I bring some extra contingency awards and give a bunch of things away to the fans, to bring more fans to the facility. Through my travels with Mainely Motorsports I have met a lot of great people, and I encourage people to come and support Wiscasset Speedway and watch five great divisions of racing.”
