Apr 19, 2026 | Maine Race Tracks, Race Results, Wiscasset Speedway

After a long and cold 6 months of hibernation, Wiscasset Speedway finally opened their doors again on Saturday afternoon for the track’s 2026 season opener featuring the T&L Automotive Pro Stocks, County Truss 4-Cylinder Pros, Davis Erector Group 207 Crate Modifieds, Thunder 4 Minis and the Darling’s Brunswick Ford Super Streets.

2025 Late Model champion Daniel Harding topped the leaderboard in practice for the Pro Stocks and pulled the #1 chip for the qualifying draw, starting on the pole in the heat race. Harding pulled away with the win while Wiscasset Speedway veteran Matt Beers took home the heat win in the second qualifier.

Matt Beers got a big jump over Daniel Harding in the spotlight 50-lap feature, pulling ahead with the early lead. Meanwhile, Nick Calvert got bent out of shape on lap 2 and went around, resulting in a caution. Daniel Harding got the upper hand on the restart, distancing himself from the competition. After a multi-lap side-by-side battle, Jamie Wright overtook third from Matt Beers on lap 13. Just as Wright was knocking on Josh St. Clair’s door for second, Kelly Moore joined the fray in the closing laps of the race, making a last-lap pass to close out the podium behind race winner Daniel Harding and multi-time track champion Josh St. Clair.

Wet weather has been a factor all season long at both Wiscasset Speedway and local race tracks across New England. Leading into this past weekend, Mother Nature’s misfortune had already resulted in an abbreviated Group 1 racing program last week at and a 2-week postponement of the Group 2 season opener. 

With rain set to drench Coastal Maine yet again on Saturday, Team Wiscasset decided to make a rare but beneficial move and rescheduled the racing action to Sunday afternoon. Both fans and drivers packed the stands on Mother’s Day for 5 divisions of racing fun, starting with the Portland Glass Strictly Streets.
