2008 TITLES WRAPPED UP AT WISCASSET RACEWAY FINALE
by Ken Minott

It was a cold and blustery Sunday afternoon at Maine's "Center of Speed" with division titles up for grabs in five weekly divisions and a 100 lap Pro Stock main event to cap off the 2008 season. At the end off the day all five point leaders maintained their hold atop their respective divisions with one of them making history in the process. Maurice Young of Windsor picked up his 13th feature win of the season in the Keystone Automotive Strictly Streets and in the process wrapped up the best season of his career with a track record 7th championship, breaking a tie with multi-time champion Scott Chubbuck. In victory lane Young confirmed reports that he will be making the jump up into the Late Model Sportsman division for the 09' season, a division that he won Rookie of the Year and division championship honors in 2004. His other six titles have all come in the Strictly Streets. Division runner-up Ed Pierpont was also there to collect the 2nd place trophy in the 20 lap feature and Ian Bresnahan of Bath took 3rd and jumped up to 3rd in the final standings as well.

In other action in the season finale, Appleton's Darren Ripley continued his second half dominance in the Smith Construction Late Model Sportsman division. He started the 30 lap feature 6th and wasted little time working his way to the front and driving around T.J. Watson and into the lead on lap 10. A caution with four laps to go set up an exciting restart between longtime rivals Ripley and Steve Reno of West Bath. Reno timed the restart perfectly and outraced Ripley to turn one to take the lead. Ripley stayed in Reno's tire tracks until the white flag lap when he set up on the outside lane and drove around Reno in turn four to take the win by less than a carlength. It was Ripley's 4th win in the LMS division's last seven races. Reno settled for 2nd and Watson finished 3rd. Despite needing to go to a backup car for the feature Chris Thorne's 14th place finish was good enough to secure his second straight Late Model title at Wiscasset Raceway. Division runner-up Adam Chadbourne could only manage a 9th place finish in the final race. In the Unicel Budweiser Super Streets Appleton's Jeremy Glasier had a wire to wire win in the caution free 25 lap feature. It was his 3rd win of the season for Glasier. Nate Weston of Madison made a strong comeback after a scary wreck the week before and chased the winner across the line to claim the 2nd place trophy. Division runner-up Shawn Austin of Norridgewock picked up 3rd place finish but it was not enough to overtake Allan Moeller. The veteran from Dresden finished 5th in the feature and picked up his 3rd career title to go along with championships in Wiscasset's Super Limited and Modified divisions. 13 year old Ryan Ripley continued his impressive season in the Aable Autoparts Mini Stocks 20 lap feature. He started on the outside of the front row and took the lead on lap one and drove away to his 4th win of the season. Wiscasset's Tom True, just 14 years old himself, crossed the line 3rd but picked up the 2nd place trophy after Mike Wilson failed post race inspection. Veteran Pete McCollet moved up in the finishing order to take the 3rd place trophy. Skowhegan's Dylan Lancaster came into the season finale with a comfortable lead in the points and easily secured the Mini Stock championship with his 5th place finish. It was the first career title for the 17 year old Skowhegan High senior. He put together a season that included a division high 15 top 5 finishes. The White & Bradstreet Mini Truck division had the closest points battle coming into the final feature with James Swan III leading Jason Giggey by just 10 points. However, Giggey's truck shutdown in prerace lineup and couldn't make it to the green flag and the 15 lap feature. Sebego's Chris Doucette picked up his division high 9th feature win, holding off Kevin Oliver at the stripe. Rick Sirois turned in a career best 4th place finish but it was bumped up to a 3rd place finish after Russ Anderson failed post race inspection. With his 4th place finish Swan would take the title without the benefit of a feature win this season. Oliver would jump past Jason Giggey to finish as the division runner-up.
