SATURDAY MAY 10th AS...
presents Opening Day!
WISCASSET
RACEWAY PRESS RELEASE 5/3/08
OPENING DAY RAINED
OUT AT WISCASSET
The rain wasn't
supposed to hit the midcoast area until late
Saturday night, but instead it arrived early
midday and crashed the party at Wiscasset
Raceway. A large turnout of drivers and crews
packed the pits at Maine's Center of Speed for
Lester Morse Auto Sales Opening Day with
thoughts of grabbing the first checkered flag in
a new season. Instead they were grabbing tarps
and car covers with an hour still to go before
the scheduled 2:00pm start time. Finally at
2:30pm, with the radar showing now promise of a
break in the rain, track owner Doug White was
forced to pull the plug on his opening day show.
The rained out show will be made up later in the
season on Sunday July 6th creating a double
header program on Independence Day weekend on
the 5th and 6th. The opening day festivities
will now be rolled back to the next date on the
schedule Saturday May 10th at 2:00pm sponsored
by Unirugs - Powered by Joseph's Flooring. All
six weekly racing series divisions will be in
action highlighted by a 50 lap main event for
the Clark's Car Crushing Pro Stocks. Pit gates
will open at 9:00am with practice from 10:30am -
12:30pm. Grandstand gates open at 12:00noon with
the green flag dropping at 2:00pm
Special note about POINTS, drivers who signed in
last weekend and were ready to race will receive
5
points....congratulations!

something we're going develope over time and

Coastal 200 winner DJ Shaw; 2006 Oxford 250 winner
and runner-up Jeremy and Bill Whorff; 2003 Big Dawg
400 winner Sam Sessions; and Maine racing legend
Stan Messerve. By virtue of his win in the March

Boothbay native Cory Williams has secured the first
guaranteed starting spot in the New England Toyota
Tundra 250. Reserve seats are currently on sale by
