Wiscasset Speedway closed out their 2025 points season on Saturday by hosting their Group 2 season finale, which featured the Dale’s Cash Fuel Roadrunners, Wood Pellet Warehouse Late Models, the weekly T&L Automotive Modifieds, visiting New England Pro 4 Modifieds and the biggest Strictly Street race of the season: the 13th Annual Strictly Shootout, presented by Thayer’s Automotive.

Defending champion Kyle Enman was able to lock in another Roadrunners championship simply by starting the feature. Logan Hall hopped out to the early lead in the race, but that didn’t last for long as a 3-way battle for the top spot ensued in the laps that followed. Karigan Glasier capitalized on the opportunity, breaking through the pack. She held off the competition as the laps ticked down, ending the season with her third consecutive victory in the division. Gavin Gerow and Spud Speedway racer Alan Rideout rounded out the top 3. 

Jack Dumas pulled ahead with the early lead in the 25-lap feature for the New England Pro 4 Modifieds. He continued his dominance as the race rolled on, extending his lead to a half straightaway by midway. Randy Clark was also coming to life in the closing half of the race, stealing second away from Rob Summers. He was no match for Dumas, who took home the checkered. Rob Summers followed Randy Clark, completing the podium.

Tiger Colby got out to a measurable early lead in the 40-lap feature for the Late Models while Jon Emerson and Daniel Harding went head-to-head for the runner-up spot. The two drivers remained door-to-door until Harding pulled away with the edge on lap 15. A mid-race caution brought the field back together on lap 20 but Tiger Colby maintained command, scoring the victory over 2025 division champion Daniel Harding and Jon Emerson.

Reed Reno entered the 30-lap Modified feature with a slim 6-point lead over multi-time champion Adam Chadbourne. There was a heated battle for the early lead in the feature, with drivers remaining bumper-to-bumper for the entire first half of the race. A mid-race caution just past halfway brought the field even closer together and Adam Chadbourne pulled ahead with the advantage while Reed Reno lingered closely behind. Chadbourne maintained his footing through one final restart, securing the victory while fourth-generation driver Reed Reno secured his first career Modified championship. Faith Cleaves followed, rounding out the top 3.

40 drivers from various tracks showed up on Saturday to try their hand at the 13th annual Strictly Shootout. 2025 Strictly Street champion Zack Emerson led the charge in first practice, while Billy Childs, Jr. and Joe Harriman topped the leaderboard in the sessions that followed.

Jon Emerson, Landon Tapley, Chaz Briggs and Ben Burgess commanded the field in their qualifying heats, advancing into the big show. This left multiple drivers on the outside looking in, including veteran driver Mac Hannan, Jr., Wiscasset regulars Chuck Wagstaff and Amara Parker, among others.

These drivers were forced into consolation races and Mac Hannan, Jr., Tyler Jordan, Cam Richards, Jr.. Joey Israelson, Alex Cromwell and Mike Delano were able to capitalize, advancing into the main event. Chuck Wagstaff went on to win the Last Chance Qualifier while Dale Lawrence, Amara Parker and Dan Morton received track provisionals, moving them into the big show.

Ethan Dinsmore and Steve Pierpont started on the front row following a top 12 redraw, but chaos quickly ensued as a lap one wreck collected multiple drivers including Ethan Dinsmore, Steve Pierpont, Chaz Briggs, Jordan Russell, Billy Childs, Jr. and Mac Hannan, Jr. among others.

The beginning of the race was heavily caution plagued, but Jon Emerson took off with the lead once the field settled. By lap 7, Landon Tapley was all over his back bumper, ready to strike. Tapley made a crossover move on lap 10, moving to Emerson’s inside door. He took advantage of lap traffic in the laps that followed, propelling to the lead on lap 13.

Tapley was confidently sailing along until he suddenly moved up the track on lap 22, making hard contact with the turn 3 wall. A caution followed due to fluid on the track and Tapley regained his footing, maintaining command on the restart. He sailed into the victory, the biggest of his career, while Jon Emerson and Scott Eck (Hard Charger Award with +16 spots gained) rounded out the podium.

Tapley collected a total of $850 in race winnings, which included $500 for winning the feature race, $100 for winning the heat race, $200 for being the race leader at halfway and an additional $100 in random-draw lap money.

On Saturday, the track also raffled off their pink Fisher snow plow, which they had been selling tickets for all season. Team Wiscasset successfully raised nearly $3,000 with all proceeds going toward the Pen Bay Medical Center and their Patients Assistance Fund, which helps provide support for those battling breast cancer. The track’s technical director, Derek Mingo, won the plow along with an accessories package provided by Fisher Plows.

Richard and Vanessa Jordan, along with the entire Team Wiscasset family, would like to thank everyone who helped make the 2025 season a glowing success and are already working up ideas to make the track bigger and better in 2026.

Although the points season is over, Wiscasset Speedway will close out their race season this Saturday, Oct. 4 with their annual “Fall Fury” event, which will feature the Wicked Good Vintage Racers, Ladies Acceleration Tour and the Fall Fury 150 Enduro.

The green flag flies at 1 p.m. and as always, adult general admission is just $5 while kids 6 and under get in for free.
