The Northeast Mini Stock Tour made its one and only appearance this year in Maine at the Wiscasset Speedway last Saturday night. Under the bright lights, thirty-one cars raced in an action packed fifty lap feature.
Starting the lineup were heat winners Mike Mason in an Acura Integra No. 51, the No. 33 driven by Matt Sonnhalter, and Shawn Swallow driving the No. 04. In what proved to be a close-quarter race, leader changes at the start were swift. Sonnhalter drifted back in the pack. Car No. 53 driven by Glen Thomas wove through traffic and took second place, George Fortin in his No. 9. advanced from sixth place to third.
Five laps into the race, a caution was thrown when Mason slowed on the front stretch, then went off the track on turn one. Swallow became race leader. Thomas and Fortin were close behind, looking for the lead. This track order did not last long as Thomas was unable to keep up, and Fortin passed him in lap six. No. 88 driven by Emerson Cayer was proving to be a force on the field, and advanced to fifth from his eleventh place start.

An overcast rainy day at the Speedway last Saturday caused the races to be cancelled. Racers were on hand and the track had been dried, but yet another round of rainfall began. Ken Minott, track promoter, said, “We wanted to give the guys who came here an opportunity to race, and we thought we had a small window to get the show in, but we were rained out.”
The Strictly Streets and Late Model Sportsman classes are rescheduled to next week, May 18, 2013. They will join the group one line up of racing divisions: Prostock, Super Stock, New England 4-Cylinder Prostock, and Thunder 4’s. The featured race of the week will be a North East Mini Stock Tour 50 lap event. This is the only appearance the NE Mini Stock Tour will make in Maine this season. Outlaw Mini and Mini truck groups are going to be made up at a later date.

JOSH BAILEY NOTCHES FIRST CAREER WIN AT WISCASSET
By Lisa Maguire
This week saw Josh Bailey of Wiscasset score his first career win at the Wiscasset Speedway. Bailey leapt to the lead and left the pack behind him during the 25 lap Super Stock race. Car No. 05 driven by James Osmond and Adam Chadbourne in the No. 1, jockeyed for second position during the opening lap. On turn three Chadbourne passed Osmond on the outside. Osmond was unable to maintain his momentum and then allowed Bobby Mesimer in the No. 3 to overtake him in turn one of the following lap.
There was a caution in lap nine after Nate Yeaton in No. 27 slid onto the infield on the backstretch. There was a scramble for position after the restart. Bailey quickly moved to the lead once again. Mesimer tracked down Chadbourne, looking for an opportunity to pass. His chance came in lap eleven, and he passed Chadbourne on the inside on turn three. In lap twelve, Chadbourne and Osmond tangled on the back stretch. Osmond went to the pit with right front end damage. With no more cautions, the race quickly concluded with Bailey, driving the No. 2, in first. Once in victory lane, Bailey said, “I struggled bad last race, but this week makes up for it.” Second went to Mesimer, and 2013 two time Wiscasset Super Stock winner, Adam Chadbourne, placed third.

OXFORD, Maine – In the long run, Corey Morgan figured track time under race conditions was going to be a lot more valuable than countless practice runs in the lead-up to the season.
The Lewiston, Maine, racer made that theory count in the short-term, too – winning both the Strictly Street feature at Wiscasset Speedway last Saturday and then following it up by winning the Outlaw Sportsman feature at Oxford Plains Speedway on Sunday in the same car.
