Brownville’s Nick Jenkins has had more than his share of heartbreak when it comes to big races. He’s had victory snatched from his grasp in the closing laps in both the Coastal 200 and the Long John 100. This time good fortune smiled on him for a change as he picked up the biggest win of his career in a controversial finish to the 2017 Boss Hog 150 at Wiscasset Speedway. Sunday’s Prostock main event highlighted a busy double header weekend at Maine’s fastest track. Saturday night’s program celebrated the track’s 48th birthday along with group 1 support divisions. Winners Saturday included Sean Johnson and Josh Bailey in the Super Streets, Bailey taking over the points lead with his two podium finishes on the night. Logan Melcher and Travis Poulliot were victors in the Thunder 4 Minis. Melcher’s 5 race win streak was snapped by Poulliot in the 40 lap nightcap race. 3-time defending Kamren Knowles picked up his 3rd straight win in the N.E.4-cyl Pros. Sunday support winners were Tiger Colby in the Strictly Streets, and Cory Hall and Austin Teras in the Amsoil Nelcar Legends. Colby made history by becoming Wiscasset’s first ever 4th generation winner.
