Steve Reny was at the top of his game Saturday night at Wiscasset Raceway. The veteran racer from Boothbay nearly covered the field on his way to victory lane in and exciting 30 lap Late Model feature. Starting 12th, Reny found his stride in the second half of the race weaving his way through traffic and driving around fellow Boothbay driver Peter Oakes with three laps to go to capture his second win of the season. Reny joined point leader Chris Thorne as the only other repeat winner in Wiscasset’s top class. The win capped a full schedule of racing at Maine’s fastest oval in front of another large crowd who enjoyed near perfect mid-summer weather. Other winners included R.J. Austin of Smithfield in the Super Streets; Mike Moody of Bath in the Strictly Streets; Shawn Kimball of Pittston in the Stock Mini’s; Ryan Ripley of Thomaston in the Teen Division; and Cassandra St Clair of Liberty in the Ladies Division. Chris Seavey of Windham took the NELCAR Legend 20 lap feature and the Quirk Super Mini Cup 25 lap feature was won by Fred Ireland of Howland.

JEFF BURGESS BECOMES 8TH DIFFERENT LATE MODEL WINNER IN WILD NIGHT AT WISCASSET
Saturday night at Wiscasset Raceway had all the look and feel of show you might get on a hot full moon night in mid August. There was plenty of action on the track; a few tempers on the rise and the busiest members of the track staff may have been the emergency crew. On the positive side of things Jeff Burgess of Oakland raced his way to the 30 lap Late Model feature win, making him the 8th different winner in nine races in Wiscasset’s top division. Other winners on the night included Jeremy Glasier of Appleton in the Super Streets; Steve Peirpont of Cushing in the Strictly Streets; Mike Wilson of Chelsea in the Stock Mini’s; Marje Albert of Chelsea in the Ladies Division; Nick Hinckley of Wiscasset in the Teen Division; and Francis Bernard Jr of Howland in the Quirk Super Mini Cup Series.
