Wiscasset Speedway will present its biggest show of the 2013 season to date on Saturday, May 18, with a full card of racing and a special 5:30 p.m. start time.  

Along with the regular group one rotation of classes (Prostock, Super Stock, Thunder 4Minis, and N.E. 4-cyl Pro’s), there will be makeup races for Late Model Sportsman and Strictly Street divisions. The show highlight will be the only Maine appearance of the Texas Roadhouse Northeast Mini Stock Tour. The 50 lap main event showcases the region’s top mini stock talent on the high-banks of Maine’s fastest track.

Tour director Bob Guptil says he is anxious to bring his successful tour back to his home state. “I am very excited to return to the pine tree state with the series that was born here. Maine drivers have been a staple in helping me grow this series to what is today. We have raced at Wiscasset twice and had a great show both times.” Guptil expects one of the largest fields of cars in the tour’s history attempting to claim one of the 31 starting positions and a shot at the $750 winner’s check. Extra local sponsorship support has enabled him to post over $3400 in prize money.

Wiscasset Speedway promoter Ken Minott is also looking forward to Saturday’s show. “We’ve got our new crew together and up to speed; new improvements to the facility; a smoother, faster racing surface; and we’re anxious to show it off this weekend. Six divisions of action and the Northeast Mini Stock Tour … It’s gonna be a lot of fun.”

Grandstand admission is only $5 with children 6 and under free. Pit admission is $20. Pit gates will open at 2:00pm, grandstand gate at 4:00pm and green flag flies on the action at 5:30pm. For directions and information go to the Wiscasset Speedway website at www.wiscassetspeedway.com
