Wacky Wednesday lived up to it’s name this week as two car fires and a rollover added to the excitement at Speedway 95 Wednesday night. Chelsea Young of Winterport led from the green to the checkers in the Ladies series race that was stopped on lap 13 when a car driven by Maria Miranda blew the motor and erupted in flames. As she brought the car to a stop and hopped out on the front stretch, flagman Jordan Harnish was first on the scene with a fire extinguisher and doused the oil fed flames. Miranda was done for the night, but Amy Houde wasn’t as she challenged Young for the lead on the restart and continued her pursuit, falling short and settling for a second place finish. Mika Wilson of Chelsea was third, followed by Amanda Batchelder of Fairfield fourth and Danielle Beale of Hampden in fifth.
