It was a beautiful spring day at the Wiscasset Speedway on Saturday. All divisions including Prostock, New England 4 Cylinder Prostock, Napa Super Street, Outlaw Mini, Late Model Sportsman, Thunder 4’s, Mini Trucks, and Strictly Street. It was an exciting full show, and fans packed the grandstands to watch as the big lights of Wiscasset lit up the track.
At the Speedway this week was two time Nascar Busch Series champion, Randy Lajoie. Lajoie was contacted by track owners Richard and Vanessa Jordan. The Jordan’s wanted information on Lajoie racing seats, which were created for both comfort and safety. Lajoie called the Jordan’s back, and volunteered to bring his “Safer Racer Tour” to Wiscasset. The tour began seven years ago, and has travelled over the country. Lajoie said, “This is a fun sport, but very dangerous. My mission is safety education. This is non-profit tour and I do this to save lives.”

This weekend the North East Mini Stock Tour (NEMST), will start the 2014 race season at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS). In the off season NEMST founder and promoter Bob Guptill has been working hard getting ready for the upcoming race season, “We have been busy signing on even more new tracks for the 2014 schedule as well as numerous new sponsors big and small for all events.”
This will be the 6th year of racing for the NEMST, “The previous 5 seasons have flown by. I can’t wait to kick off 2014, by far our most exciting year yet. Every race this season is a special event either by the facility it is held, the increased purse, or “Triple Crown” involvement. It is for sure going to be an epic year.”
