Wiscasset Speedway / NEMA Team Up for a June 7 Show
The Northeastern Midget Association will be returning to Maine’s Wiscasset Speedway for the first time in 42 years. NEMA and the NEMA Lites will be part of the three eights-mile “NEMA Night” on Saturday, June 7 at 6:00pm.
NEMA’s last and only visit to Wiscasset was July 1, 1972 when Butch Walsh, in the Connor 58, defeated Jerry Wall and Walt Gale.
“The Wiscasset fans are excited, and the anticipation is growing” said track owners Vanessa and Richard Jordon. “Fan chatter is on the rise and we can’t wait until the 7th gets here.“
NEMA makes a habit of showing up and toppling existing track records, especially on the shorter ovals. The winged warriors are expected to set a blistering pace. Doug Coby’s 13.00 second lap at Evans Mills last week was a perfect example.

BRENTON PARRITT TAKES 95 LATE MODEL FEATURE
For the second time in the four races run in the Dysart’s Late Models at Speedway 95 this season, the feature race was won by mere inches when Brenton Parritt of Steuben held off a late race charge from 2013 champion Andy Saunders of Ellsworth, who was driving a car borrowed from Orrington’s Jim Robichaud. Parritt started the 40 lap feature event in the 8th spot, took the lead from Corinth’s Lloyd Nickerson on lap 7, and led the rest of the way to the checkers. Meanwhile, Saunders and Ryan Deane of Winterport worked their way through the field and became locked in a lengthy battle for the second spot, which Saunders finally won on lap 35. Saunders then set his sights on Parritt, but ran out of laps as Parritt crossed the finish line with his bumper just ahead of Saunders when the checkered flag flew. Saunders finished second with Deane in third. Nick Jenkins of Milo finished fourth with Andrew McLaughlin of Harrington finishing in fifth after recovering from a lap 9 incident with Nickerson that sent both cars to the rear of the field on the restart. John Kalel II and Nickerson won the night’s Late Model qualifiers.

This past Sunday the Wiscasset Speedway held the Late Model Sportsman Coastal 200 presented by Jordan Lumber and Excavation Company. The afternoon was bright and warm, and fans packed the bleachers to watch the show. The group two divisions also raced on Sunday, including Strictly Streets, Thunder 4’s, and Mini Trucks. The Amsoil Nelcar Legends also made their second appearance of the season at the Speedway.
Twenty-five Late Model Sportsman competed in the Coastal 200. Starting at the pole was the #16 of Travis Stearns. Behind him were the # 23 of Dave Farrington and the #27 of Wayne Helliwell. Off the start Farrington passed Stearns on the outside to claim first. Helliwell and Stearns battled Farrington for twenty laps, but Farrington was able to keep the lead.
There was a caution during lap twenty. On the restart, Stearns passed Farrington on the inside of the backstretch and took first. Helliwell passed Farrington for second during lap twenty-two. Jeff Burgess of the #X moved up the track and passed Farrington for third on the inside of the backstretch during lap twenty-two. Then during the same lap, Burgess passed Helliwell for second on the outside of turn four. Helliwell fought back and the pair raced side by side for fourteen laps, with Burgess just ahead by a nose, until a caution was called during lap thirty-six. When racing action resumed, Burgess was passed by Helliwell and the #14 of Dave St Clair.
Stearns maintained his lead until lap sixty-one, when another caution was called. Helliwell passed Stearns on the restart and took third. Another caution was called during lap sixty-two but there was no leader change.
A caution in lap sixty-two caused a restart. Off the start the #30 of Ryan St Clair passed Dave St Clair for third. Burgess moved to the outside and raced Ryan St Clair, looking for a pass. During lap sixty-seven, Burgess completed the pass taking third.
