Wiscasset Speedway had their time to shine this past weekend, hosting their biggest Pro Stock race of the year: the inaugural “Boss Hogg 150,” lovingly named after Hall of Fame driver and former track owner Dave St. Clair.

Boothbay football’s home game Sept. 5 versus Valley, a northern Maine cooperative effort of high schools from Fort Kent, Wisdon and Wisdom, was cancelled.
