A spring Nor’Easter hit the region on May twenty-fifth and Wiscasset Speedway was forced to call off the scheduled Saturday races. Ken Minott, track promoter said, “Back on Mothers Day weekend we waited til the last minute to cancel. We really thought we had a window of opportunity for the races to carry on. This time it was an easy call because we could see there was no chance of getting it in.”

The Northeast Mini Stock Tour made its one and only appearance this year in Maine at the Wiscasset Speedway last Saturday night. Under the bright lights, thirty-one cars raced in an action packed fifty lap feature.
Starting the lineup were heat winners Mike Mason in an Acura Integra No. 51, the No. 33 driven by Matt Sonnhalter, and Shawn Swallow driving the No. 04. In what proved to be a close-quarter race, leader changes at the start were swift. Sonnhalter drifted back in the pack. Car No. 53 driven by Glen Thomas wove through traffic and took second place, George Fortin in his No. 9. advanced from sixth place to third. (more…)
Both of Speedway 95’s top performing lady drivers, Emma Libby of Glenburn and Shelby Kimball of Cornville overcame adversity to win their respective extended length feature races at the Hermon oval Saturday night. In the Sport-Four Coca-Cola series event, 15 year old Emma Libby of Glenburn was sent to the rear of the 15 car field along with Dedham’s Keith Ogden following a lap 5 scuffle that brought out the race’s third caution flag. Libby then made an impressive charge to the front, methodically passing car after car without the help of any additional caution flags, running down and passing Hudson’s Donny Silva for the lead with 6 laps to go in the 35 lap race. Silva finished second with Hermon’s Andrew Crosby taking third. Kevin Hartley of Hermon finished fourth with Carmel’s Bradley Dolan in fifth. (more…)
