WISCASSET SPEEDWAY OUTRACES THE RAIN SATURDAY NIGHT
by Ken Minott
There was little doubt that rain would arrive in midcoast Maine late Saturday afternoon. But that didn’t shake the determination of race teams and track officials to get in their scheduled race program. Following their regular practice rounds, the race teams gathered for a meeting and made the decision to skip their qualifying heat races and jump right to feature action in order to beat the approaching weather. The show featured action in all four Group 1 divisions plus a 100 lap Enduro. In the 35 lap spotlight feature for the Cahill Tire 4-Cylinder Pros, West Gardiner’s Hayden Norris remained undefeated on the season, starting deep in the field and taking the lead by halfway. From there he ran to a relatively easy win. As of press time, the victory remains unofficial pending engine inspection, which is required after a driver’s 3rd win. Defending champ Max Rowe would be credited with 2nd place and rookie Nicole Benincasa of Buxton took 3rd. In support feature action, Wiscasset’s Nick Hinkley grabbed his second straight win in the ServPro of Biddeford Saco Pro Stocks 40 lapper. He was chased across the line by Nick Reno of West Bath and Charlie Colby of Newcastle. Mike Hodgkins of Jefferson took home top honors in the 25 lap feature for the Maxwells Market Super Streets. It was his first win of the season. Division champs Josh Bailey of Wiscasset and Mark Lucas of Harpswell took the other two spots in victory lane. The 25 lap feature for the Thunder 4 Minis went to Travis Poulliot of South China. Noah Haggett of Wiscasset was 2nd and Cameron Campbell of New Gloucester 3rd. With the rain starting to fall, the Enduro drivers rolled onto the track with drivers looking to reach 100 laps before the 1-hour time limit or the rain got too heavy. Nathan Haley of Wiscasset led the entire race wire to wire for the win. (more…)
