WISCASSET RACEWAY PRESS RELEASE 8/18/08
It was only fitting that Sunday's running of the N.E. Toyota Tundra 250 at Wiscasset Raceway came down to a green-white-checkers finish between the two drivers who dominated the inuagural event. In the end it was Farmingdale's Johnny Clark who took home the win over Boothbay native Corey Williams to claim the $30,000+ payoff. Clark could not help but reflect on his long list of success at the track that launched his career. "I got my first prostock win here in 97' when I was seventeen" recalled the winner in victory lane. "I beat Stan Messerve and John Phippen that day and I thought that was the best. This one is right there with that one. It's great to get this one at my home track".

NAPLES ME (8/18/08) A perfect mix of old and new equaled a $30,000.00 payday for Johnny Clark Sunday night as the Hallowell Maine Pro All Stars Series (PASS) star took his Clark’s Car Crushing Chevrolet to victory lane in the Toyota Tundra 250 at Wiscasset (ME) Raceway. Clark recaptured the lead from then-point man D.J. Shaw and survived a late race rash of yellow fever for the victory. It was the two time series champions’ third win of 2008 and pulls him squarely into contention for a third title. Clark was behind the wheel of an all new super late model that his team painstakingly constructed during the off season and the race car was everything the team hoped for. Clark’s first big super late model win came at Wiscasset at the age of 17, and his mastery of the fast old Wiscasset high banks has only grown as the years pass.
