On April 17, the girls' team saw nine athletes qualify for the Mountain Valley Conference Championship meet and the boys' team had five qualifiers. In addition, the girls won the meet against Lincoln Academy and Medomak Valley in Wiscasset. "We've never seen results this strong prior to April vacation," Scott said.

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.

During the off-season, it was announced that both Amara Parker and Maddy Herrick, two accomplished weekly champions at the neighboring Oxford Plains Speedway, would be joining the pack at Wiscasset Speedway this season. These talented women join a growing list of females that have tried their hand at Maine’s biggest and fastest speedway.

Wiscasset Speedway has a knack for making racing bigger and better with each and every passing year. This off-season was no exception with the addition of the Davis Erector Group Crate Modifieds to the already action-packed Group 1 lineup.

The division has been a work in progress for some time now, as track owner Richard Jordan manifested the idea with the purchase of a fleet of Crate Modifieds a handful of years back. Fans got their first taste of the cars at last season’s Fall Fury event with a 25-lap…
