Saturday night was a good night for the underdogs at Wiscasset Raceway. In a busy program that included eleven features, it was a handful of first time winners and a veteran racer returning to victory lane for the first time in nearly eight years that stole the show. Boothbay’s Steve Reny continued his strong early season in the Late Model Sportsman division with a win in the 30 lap feature. It was Reny’s first win at his home track since the 2000 season when he picked up 4 wins and finished as runner-up in the Prostock division. Reny started 11th and took advantage of two late race cautions to get to the front. From there he outraced Sidney’s Chris Thorne on a lap 27 restart, passing him on the outside and onto the win. Thorne, who started from the pole position retook the point lead in the division with a heat win and second place finish in the feature. Rookie Kevin Sherman of Wiscasset turned in another impressive top five finish, taking home the third place trophy.
