Labor Day weekend is here and that can only mean one thing: It’s time for the Boss Hogg 150 at Wiscasset Speedway!
The annual 150-lap event made its debut in 1991, honoring former track owner and Wiscasset Speedway/Maine Motorsports Hall of Fame member Dave St. Clair.
With big race events happening this past weekend across the state, Wiscasset Speedway was still able to draw in a large crowd of both fans and drivers on Saturday for another action-packed Group 1 race program.
Wiscasset Speedway hosted their first Fan Appreciation Night of the 2025 season on Saturday, featuring a Group 2 driver meet and greet and kids bike races on the front stretch prior to the start of the racing action.
Wiscasset Speedway opened up their action-packed weekend on Saturday with a loaded 8-race schedule that included all weekly Group 1 divisions in addition to the visiting Senior Tour Auto Racers and the lightning-fast 350SMAC Tour.
Wiscasset Speedway returned to action on Saturday night with an action-packed Group 2 program that included the lightning-fast NEMA Midgets and NEMA Lites.
The racing action kicked off with the first of two 30-lap features for the Portland Glass Strictly Streets. Brady Romano took off with the early lead, but trouble was on the horizon as Scott Eck and Landon Tapley collided, resulting in a caution. Romano remained strong on the restart but Ben Burgess was on the move, overtaking the lead on lap 10 as Joe Harriman followed in succession. Burgess maintained command following a mid-race restart, picking up his second win of the season in the division. Joe Harriman and Chuck Wagstaff (1st career podium) followed, completing the top 3.
Over 2,000 fans packed the Wiscasset Speedway grounds on Saturday evening for one of the biggest races of the summer: the $1,500-to-win Ward and Sons Builders Super Street 100.
With sunny skies overhead, a light coastal breeze and temperatures in the mid-70’s, it was an absolutely beautiful day for some racing on Saturday at Wiscasset Speedway.
Wiscasset Speedway brought the heat to the coast, hosting an action-packed Group 2 program that included the weekly T&L Automotive Modifieds, Portland Glass Strictly Streets, Dale’s Cash Fuel Roadrunners, the visiting Ladies Acceleration Tour and double features for the Wood Pellet Warehouse Late Models.
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.
