After a six long months of hibernation, Wiscasset Speedway is prepared to open their gates once again for an exciting 26-event race season. 

The most significant change made during the off-season was a new addition to the Group 1 lineup in the Davis Erector Group Crate Modifieds. The division, spearheaded by track owner Richard Jordan, features the first tour-type Modified cars to race weekly in Maine in almost 35 years. 

The doors will swing open to the public for the first time this season on Saturday, April 19 for Group 1 Opening Day and the event lineup will include the Norm’s Used Cars Pro Stocks, Gosline Insurance Group Super Streets, Davis Erector Group Crate Modifieds, Brackett’s Market 4-Cylinder Pros and the Kennebec Equipment Rental Thunder 4 Minis. Grandstands open at 1 p.m. with the racing to follow at 2.

Group 2 Opening Day will be the week following on Saturday, April 26 with the same gate and start times. This program will feature the Wood Pellet Warehouse Late Models, T&L Automotive Modifieds, Portland Glass Strictly Streets and the Dale’s Cash Fuel Roadrunners.

Starting on Saturday, May 3, the schedule will revert back to the normal start time of 5 p.m. for all weekly races, excluding some marquee events like the Coastal 200, Boss Hogg 150 and the Championship Night and Fall Fury events at the conclusion of the season.

In true Wiscasset fashion, the Coastal 200 will take place on Memorial Day Weekend. Instead of hosting a car show the Saturday prior, the track decided to go a different direction this year, introducing a “No Fenders Allowed” night on Saturday, May 24. The program, presented by Ames True Value Supply, will include the 350SMAC Super Modifieds, N.E. Pro 4 Modifieds, the T&L Automotive Modifieds and potentially more divisions to be announced at a later date.

The $15,000-to-win Late Model race is one of the biggest of its kind in New England, but Wiscasset Speedway has even more excitement on tap for 2025 with the return of the Boss Hogg 150 on Labor Day Weekend, presented by Wallace Roofing. As always, the track will also close out the season with the Strictly Shootout, brought to you by Thayer’s Automotive Competition Engines.

Multiple touring divisions will stop at Wiscasset throughout the race season, including the Ladies Acceleration Tour, Wicked Good Vintage Racers, NEMA Midgets and Lites, Senior Tour Auto Racers, New England Dwarf Car Series, NELCAR Legends and more.

Wiscasset Speedway is also continuing their partnership with LST Motorsports Park, bringing the Senior Champ Karts back for some fun on “Mainely Karting Night” on Saturday, June 21.

The track is continuing to support the greater community with their philanthropic efforts, hosting a season-long Fisher snow plow raffle in conjunction with Daisy Valley Racing, where all proceeds will be going to the Pen Bay Medical Center. Raffle tickets are just $5 and the plow winner will be announced on the night of the Strictly Shootout. The annual Racin’ Cancer Walk will also be on Saturday, Aug. 30, the day before the Boss Hogg 150.

The excitement will surely be hard-to-miss this season at Wiscasset Speedway, so bring the whole family up the coast for a night of racing fun this summer at Maine’s biggest and fastest race track. As always, admission remains just $5 for adults and free for kids 6 and under!
