(Wiscasset, ME) The new Knox Brothers Carquest and Ray Haskell Ford Enduro divisions held the spotlight this past Sunday at The Wiscasset Raceway. The all classes Enduro feature was won by #32 Kevin Morse of Woolwich who passed #14 Justin White of Wiscasset with just a handful of laps to go in the 30 lap feature. There was also the first sighting of the much anticipated racing mini-vans! It was discovered that they can apparently spin out 360 degrees and recover just fine. The real excitement came when #83, Mike St. Germain of Auburn was bumped by one of the mini vans right in front  of the grandstands. The #83 Enduro hit the wall, was lifted in the air and landed on it’s roof! Mike St. Germain immediately scrambled out of the car and bowed to the crowd. Then he gestured to the track crew who helped him flip the car back over and continued the race in his smoking #83! Mike certainly embodies the spirit of the Enduro racer. What a great race. Join us next Sunday for more Enduro action!

OFFICIAL RACING RESULTS MAY 30, 2010

(Wiscasset, ME) Sunday at The Center of Speed, Dave St. Clair told Doug White, owner of the Wiscasset Raceway, that he would need to win at least one race every season to keep bring his car to the track. It looks like we’ll have racing legend Boss Hog around for the rest of 2010 as he takes the checkered flag in the Steel’s Real Rods & Customs Late Model Sportsman feature.

The LMS feature was an exciting race with Buxton’s Danny Smart leading most of the way. Boss Hog in the #14 car kept trying the outside line but was held off by the #6. Lots of door to door racing for the lead on Sunday! There were also great battles in the pack with Rowland “Rockin’” Robinson, Nick Hinkley and Josh St. Clair all fighting for a top spot. Then one of those tough moments in racing, the #6 car was pulling away on the front stretch when the back end got loose and put Danny Smart into a slide. Boss Hog pulled into the lead and kept it to the checkered flag. Danny Smart in the #6 car had a nice recovery and battled back into the top 5.

The 2010 Mini-Stocks Division get a little twisted!

Wiscasset Raceway welcomes new sponsors.

(Wiscasset, ME) Wiscasset Raceway is happy to announce a new Division sponsor. Twisted Tea will be the 2010 sponsor for our Mini-Stocks Division. Founded in 2001 their slogan is “Be a Little Twisted!” The Twisted Tea brewmasters (yes, their job is as cool as it sounds) have been committed to brewing a hard iced tea that not only tastes like real iced tea but also delivers an incredibly smooth and refreshing drinking experience.

“I’ve heard that the Mini-Stock drivers at Wiscasset Raceway might be a little more twisted then the other drivers” said Steve Smith, marketing director at The Center of Speed. “We thought that Twisted Tea might be a good fit. I am looking forward to finding out!”
