Wiscasset Speedway opened up their gates on Saturday for one of their biggest race events of the year: the doubleheader Boss Hogg 150 weekend.
Saturday’s program began before any cars hit the track as Team Wiscasset hosted their annual “Racin’ Cancer” walk/bike, benefiting the Dean Snell Cancer Foundation. Dozens of people participated, fundraising for the local organization that helps Maine cancer patients in need.
While heavy fog rolled into Coastal Maine on Saturday afternoon, Wiscasset Speedway was able to keep the action rolling along and successfully beat Mother Nature’s time clock, hosting a full Group 1 racing program.
The Davis Erector Group 207 Crate Modifieds were the spotlight division of the night with two feature races. Bubba Pelton took off with the early lead in the first race and held off a hard-charging John Ricci as the laps wound down, scoring the victory. Ryan Phillips held the upper hand in the second feature, but Pelton pulled to his door on lap 10, challenging for the top spot. Pelton completed the pass on lap 17 and never looked back, sweeping the division.
