BY: Lisa Maguire
Another breezy, cool day did not stop racers and fans alike from heading to the Wiscasset Speedway this past Saturday. This was “Group Two” division racing and included: Strictly Streets, Mini Trucks, Outlaw Mini’s, Late Model Sportsman, and the flex race of the week was a ten lap backwards race.
Starting the action was the Strictly Streets feature. Brian Robbins of Montville, Maine lined up at the pole position for the 20 lap race. Robbins took the early lead in the event and maintained a solid advantage, but faltered during the last two laps. This allowed Guy Childs Sr. of Turner an opportunity to sweep away with the lead and take it to victory lane for the win. Corey Morgan of Lewiston and Tasha Dyer of Arrowsic, battled it out for second and third, respectively. (more…)
