Wiscasset Speedway

Corey Morgan is 2014 Strictly Street Champion

Thu, 09/18/2014 - 5:00pm

Wiscasset Speedway began racing action last Saturday night, but rain arrived before the whole show could be presented. Heats for both Late Model Sportsman and Strictly Streets and the beginning of the Strictly Street feature had been started when rained out.

With only six of 25 laps complete, the drivers voted by majority vote not to make up the incomplete feature, thus ending their point season. This makes Corey Morgan the Strictly Street Point Champion. Morgan had a great season with four wins. In eight out of ten races, Morgan placed in the top three. 

The Strictly Street division will return Sept. 20 for the non-point Top Gun Strictly Shootout. Thunder 4’s and Mini Truck features were canceled and will not be made up. They will run their final point races on Sept. 27 as scheduled. Both Ryan Chadwick (Thunder 4) and Jerry McKenna (Mini Trucks) will enter the last feature race with the 2014 Point Champion title in hand.

The Late Model Sportsman feature will run a makeup 35 lap feature to begin the Sept. 27 show (since their qualifying heats were completed last Saturday night) and then they will also run their regularly scheduled race on the 27th.

Wiscasset Speedway resumes racing action on Sept. 20 with its group one line up of divisions: Prostock, Outlaw Mini, and New England 4 Cylinder Prostocks. The Strictly Streets will take center stage with the second annual “Top Gun Strictly Shootout” presented by McKeage’s Top Gun Contractors. The group 1 Napa Super Streets will be off until Sept. 27. The flex race of the week is a visit from NELCAR Legends, their fifth appearance this year. 

Pit gates open at 1 p.m., Grandstand gates open at 3 p.m. and racing begins at 5 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults and children aged seven and older. Kids six and under are free. Pit admission is $20. Wiscasset Speedway is located on West Alna Road in Wiscasset. For more information, go to www.wiscassetspeedway.com.
