Rain caused postponement of the 40 lap Dysart’s Late Model feature at Speedway 95 on Saturday night and shortened the 25 lap Sport-Four feature to 21 laps. At the end of the 21st lap, Donny Silva of Hudson was in the lead, and was declared the winner when the event was stopped due to rain. Just prior to the last lap run under green, the race was halted three times before lap 20 could be completed. Ted Ryder of Carmel was in the lead when the first yellow flag was thrown on lap 20, with Silva having come from the rear of the field to the second spot by lap 10. Ryder’s lead was substantial at the time, but Silva was slowly catching the season’s points leader. When the first yellow fell, Silva lined up beside Ryder for the restart. When the green fell, the duo raced side by side until the yellow fell for the second time. Again they lined up side by side for the restart, and stayed that way when the green fell again. As they approached the start finish line side by side for the third time on lap 20, the yellow flew again. On the restart, Silva was able to forge ahead of Ryder and hold the lead until the caution came out for rain on lap 21. After circling the track for about ten minutes, the race was called official, the remainder of the program scrubbed, and Silva was declared the winner. Ryder finished second with pole sitter Andrew Crosby finishing third. Fourth went to James Goodman of Orrington with Brock Worster of Kingfield finishing fifth.

Last Saturday was warm at Wiscasset Speedway, although there was a threat of rain showers. The show slid smoothly along for the race fans gathered to watch, and the rain stayed at bay, giving the racers the chance to compete on the track. Presented Saturday were its group one lineup of divisions: Prostock, Super Stock, New England 4-cylinder Prostock, and Thunder 4. The flex race of the week was a one hundred lap Enduro race, which had over thirty entrants.
First on the track were the New England 4 Cylinder Prostock. This twenty-five lap feature provided a show. Starting in the pole position was Jeff Prindall in the No. 24. Behind him were Craig Dunn in the No. 8 and Dave Patten of the No. 12 Westbrook Dairy Queen car. When the green flag went down, Dunn surged ahead of Prindall on the outside. Prindall fought for position and slid ahead. The pair raced neck and neck around the track until lap two, when Dunn was able to gain a car length lead coming out of turn two.
During lap five, Prindall spun coming out of turn four, and dropped back in the pack. Moving up to take second was Dave Patten, and in third was the No. 54 of Kamren Knowles. Lap nine saw the No. 38 of Ryan Hayes pass Knowles on the inside of turn two for third.

Durham, Maine – Evan Beaulieu had a great night going during Saturday night’s Pro Series race at Beech Ridge Speedway and felt like it may finally be his night to get a victory. After struggling early in practice, the team dialed the car in for the final practice and Evan was able to drive away with his first heat win in a Super Late Model.
Starting from the pole position, Evan lead the races opening 22 laps, then contact from the 11 of Tyler King sent Evan’s No. 56 around in turn three and left the young racer to charge from the back and salvage a highly respectable 9th place finish.

By Lisa Maguire
Wiscasset Speedway had a lot of action last Saturday. On the roster was its group two lineup of divisions: Strictly Street, Mini Truck, Outlaw Mini’s, and Late Model Sportsman. The Wicked Good Vintage Racers were the flex race of the week. The bright lights of Wiscasset lit up the track just as the feature racing began. At the conclusion of six exciting races, the crowd cheered as the sky was lit up once again with a spectacular display of fireworks compliments of Central Maine Pyrotechnics.
First on the track were two Wicked Good Vintage Racer (WGVR) features. The first division was a twenty lap Late Model WGVR feature. In the pole position was the No. 87 driven by Larry Wade. Behind him was the No. 97 of Dean Grant and Scott Tucker’s No. OJR. There was an early caution in the race, and when the dust cleared, the No. 151 of Rose Gerry had moved to first. In second was the No. M16 of Mark Thurlow. Grant was in third place.
