Sean Johnson Is Eighth Different Super Street Winner At Wiscasset
Wiscasset Speedway returned to action Saturday evening with a regular points program sponsored by Islebrook Village of Wiscasset for its Group 1 divisions and coming off the busy Labor Day weekend. Each weekly race show seems to reveal a theme of its own and Saturday was no exception. This show turned out to be a night redemption for some, and first-time victory lane appearances for others. Two different drivers rebounded from recent heartbreak to claim their first wins of the season. One young driver withstood a couple of late-race restarts to grab his first career win, and another driver continued to stack up wins in a dominant season. Mixed into this were several drivers turning in season-best performances and picking up their first hardware of the year.

The lone caution flag flew just before the halfway point as Mike Viens went into the spin cycle in turn one. Although his early lead evaporated in an instant, Ryan Waterman again powered through on the restart to lead the Street Stocks under the checkered flag with Al Stone III and Corey Fanning joining the podium.

N. Woodstock, NH — Following heat race qualifying and the all-important Late Model Semi Feature, the Woodsville Guaranty Savings Bank Strictly Stock Minis started off an early schedule Saturday at White Mountain Motorsports Park.
