He started  in the Mini Stock ranks where he had many feature wins and a countless  number of trophies. When it was time to move up Brian decided to buy  a Verizon Wireless Super Street. In his rookie year Brian picked up  a feature victory but it was due to a failed post race inspection. The  same thing had happened to Brian year after year and even already in  2009. However Motor Supply night at Wiscasset Raceway changed all of  that. Fortin showed he could win on the track leading all 25 laps of  the super street race. Ed Drake of Vassalboro finished second with Bryan  Robbins bringing back the #51 to finish third. 2007 champion Bernie  Dinsmore came back after being involved in a early race caution to finish  fourth. Jason Gaboury would finish fifth.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"4\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The  U.S. Cellular Mini Truck division had the crowed on their feet as Ryan  Hayes passed Kevin Oliver on the last lap to pick up another feature  win.
