Wiscasset Speedway’s Late Model Sportsman division proved once again why it is the track’s most exciting and competitive division in 2014. Coming into the holiday weekend, the class had turned out 5 different winners in the first 5 races. That streak of different winners would continue after an action packed, and caution free, 35 lap feature. Fans packed into Maine’s fastest track on a beautiful evening for a Independence Day weekend show featuring action in Group 2 divisions, including Late Models, Strictly Streets, Thunder 4 Minis and Mini Truck. The “Flex” race of the weekend was a 100 lap Enduro. Fans also got an opportunity to meet pro fisherman Troy Garrison.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Thunder 4 Mini’s rolled out the spotlight feature of the night with a 30 lap feature race. Wiscasset’s Ryan Chadwick took little time moving up from his 10th starting position to grab the lead just before the halfway point of the race. From there he held off late race challenges from Nate Tribbet and Cody Robbins to secure the win. For Chadwick, it was his 5th feature win in the division’s\u00a0six races. He came into the weekend with a sizable\u00a0lead in the point standings. Tribbet started outside the front\u00a0row and would roll into\u00a0victory lane 2nd. They would be joined by Cody Robbins who raced up from 9th to finish 3rd.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The Mini\u00a0Trucks had a straight forward 15 lap feature race with six drivers shooting for\u00a0the win. The race was slowed by just one caution as previous week’s winner Matt Weil went spinning off turn 4.\u00a0While he did return to the race, he was not a factor. Freeport’s Matt Curtis started\u00a0on the outside of the front row. He quickly disposed of Jeff Schmidt, and then outraced point leader Jerry\u00a0McKenna for the victory. For\u00a0Curtis, it was\u00a0his first Wiscasset\u00a0victory and\u00a0also made him the 4th different winner this season. They were joined in victory lane by Sanford’s Kris Knox.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The 35 lap Late Model Sportsman feature saw Sidney’s Chris Thorne lined up at the poll position and surrounded by the St\u00a0Clair family. He had veteran “Boss Hogg” Dave St Clair line up behind him and brother’s Ryan and Josh St Clair along side. Thorne\u00a0quickly shook off the challenge and pulled out to a half straightaway advantage by halfway. Thorne was looking to become the division’s first repeat winner of 2014. Through the middle of the race Dave St Clair settled into a good run and slowly started to reel in the race leader. After trying the outside of Thorne with 10 laps to go, St Clair switched things up and pulled to the inside of Thorne in turn three to\u00a0take the lead. He would go on to take the feature win by about 4 car lengths. For\u00a0St Clair\u00a0it was his first win at Wiscasset in nearly 10 years. Thorne held on to finish and they were joined in victory lane by Ryan St Clair, who held off his brother Josh as well as a hard charging Chris Bowie.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The\u00a025 Lap Strictly Street feature was slowed by\u00a0a handful of cautions, including a back stretch wall hit and rollover\u00a0by Shawn Rines on the very first lap of the race. Rines was able to walk away from the wreck, but would later be treated for soreness\u00a0in his chest by track medical personel. Despite the restarts, nobody had a challenge for Peru’s Dan Brown. He withstood challenges from Mike Brown and Zack Emerson and well as Dave Brannon. For Dan Brown\u00a0is was his 2nd win of the season. Brannon finished 2nd in the\u00a0race,\u00a0same as he did to Brown 4 weeks earlier. Zack Emerson\u00a0started 5th and raced his way to the 3rd place finish just ahead of Richard Spaulding. Spaulding started 16th and finished 4th. Not to be outdone, Mac Hannan Jr raced from 18th up to 5th in his first Wiscasset appearance of the year.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The show wrapped up with a 100 lap enduro. The race had plenty of action and\u00a0plenty of blown right front tires. In the end, it was a dominant performance by John Rines, winning the race by a 3 lap advantage over Mike St Germain and Roy Glidden.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wiscasset Speedway returns to action on Saturday July 12th<\/span><\/span> with Mainely Motorsports Fan Appreciation Day. The show will feature action in Group 1 divisions, including Prostocks, Napa Super Streets, Outlaw Mini’s, and 4-cyl Pros. The Flex Race of the week will be a 35 lap feature for the Nelcar Legends.
