Group 2 was in action Saturday night, Aug. 3 at Wiscasset Speedway. While some divisions have struggled to maintain respectable car counts, Wiscasset's Wood Pellet Warehouse Late Model Sportsman division remains one of the largest an most competitive in the state. Twenty-seven cars pitted for the evening's 50-lap main event,  Liberty's Josh St Clair charged up from his 10th starting position and took the lead from Frank Moulton early in the race and then held off several contenders to claim the victory. It was his first win since 2017. Point leader and four-time champ Chris Thorne of Sidney made a nice charge up from his 17th starting position but would settle for 2nd. Mark Lucas of Harpswell was the only driver to stay in the top five for the entire race. He stayed in the thick of the fight for the entire 50 laps and took home the final spot in victory lane and the 3rd place trophy. Former champion Will Collins of Waldoboro started 13th and finished 4th. Fayette's Logan Melcher, a two-time winner himself this season, rounded out the top 5 after starting 18th. The race was slowed by four cautions. Seventeen of the twenty-six cars that started the feature finished on the lead lap.

In other action, it was a profitable night for the point leaders of the three support divisions. Outlaw Mini point leader Jimmy Child of Leeds led wire to wire in the 25 lap feature for the Kennebec Equipment Rental Outlaw Minis. He was joined in victory lane by Scott Trask of Richmond and Jason Kimball of Pittston. The 30 lap feature for the K&A Property Services Modifieds was a battle of attrition with just two cars finishing the race. Adam Chadbourne of Woolwich padded his point lead with his 4th win of the season. Brian Treadwell matched his career-best in 2nd place and Richard Jordan of Kingfield took home 3rd. In the Norms Used Cars Strictly Streets, point leader Zach Emerson of Sabattus bested the seven or 11 cars that were able to take the green for 25 lap feature. He started back in the field, but patiently worked his way to the front and secured his 3rd checkered flag of the season. Ryan Ripley of Thomaston took 2nd followed by Craig Robbins of Montville in 3rd. The flex race of the night was the new entry level division called Road Runners. The win went to Justice Pierpont of Jefferson.
