The calendar may have said June 1st, but Saturday night at Wiscasset Speedway had more of a feel like mid August. The heat & humidity added to the action on the track which produced a pair of popular first time winners. Kevin Douglass of Sidney, a former ministock champion & Driver of the Year, returned to Wiscasset for the first time this season and took a hard fought victory in the Prostocks. Wiscasset’s James Osmond picked up an emotional first career win in the Super Stock division. Their victories highlighted a full program of racing action at Maine’s Fastest track. Gorham’s David Patten was also honored as Wiscasset Speedway’s May 2013 Napa Auto Parts Driver of the Month. He celebrated in victory lane with track owners Richard & Vanessa Jordan and a group of midcoast area school students being honored for their hard work. The kids were even given chalk to autograph the track.
