BY: Lisa Maguire

Another breezy, cool day did not stop racers and fans alike from heading to the Wiscasset Speedway this past Saturday.  This was “Group Two” division racing and included: Strictly Streets, Mini Trucks, Outlaw Mini’s, Late Model Sportsman, and the flex race of the week was a ten lap backwards race.

Starting the action was the Strictly Streets feature.  Brian Robbins of Montville, Maine lined up at the pole position for the 20 lap race. Robbins took the early lead in the event and maintained a solid advantage, but faltered during the last two laps.  This allowed Guy Childs Sr. of Turner an opportunity to sweep away with the lead and take it to victory lane for the win.  Corey Morgan of Lewiston and Tasha Dyer of Arrowsic, battled it out for second and third, respectively.

It was the fastest commute in New Hampshire today as Governor John Lynch raced to work in New Hampshire Motor Speedway’s official Toyota Hybrid Pace Car this afternoon with Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager of the speedway.
Governor John Lynch declared the week of September 13-19 “Race Week” for the Granite State. The week kicks off the SYLVANIA 300 festivities and the biggest sporting event in New England.

“We are delighted to be here today, and I wanted to thank Jerry Gappens and Bruton Smith for their ongoing commitment to New Hampshire. The speedway is such an important factor in our economy. Each year the races bring in hundreds and thousands of visitors and hundreds of millions of dollars to New Hampshire and we again thank you for stating your commitment to the state,” said Governor John Lynch at the press conference.
