OPENING DAY AT WISCASSET RACEWAY THIS SATURDAY

With all of the offseason updates nearly complete, and with much
anticipation, Wiscasset Raceway will finally open its 2008 season this
Saturday afternoon with Opening Day presented by Lester Morse Auto
Sales of Wiscasset. The finishing touches are being put in place for
what track owner Doug White is counting on as a comeback season for
"Maine's Center of Speed". The facility has undergone a face lift over
the winter months and through the spring with fresh paint, many more
sponsor billboards and banners, an updated race program, and more fan
friendly amenities, plus a larger staff of employees and volunteers
ready to greet fans coming through the gates this weekend. Many more
changes have been made behind the scenes to make things easier for the
drivers and crews and to help run a safer and more competitive show
for everyone. As an added feature, Wiscasset Raceway will broadcast
its feature races this season over ESPN radio 1160 AM and also
broadcast at the track over a special scanner frequency for fan
convenience. The opening day program will feature Wiscasset's six
weekly racing series divisions: The Clark's Car Crushing Prostocks;
Smith Construction Late Model Sportsman; Unicel Super Streets;
Keystone Automotive Strictly Streets; Aable Auto Parts Mini Stocks and
the White & Bradstreet Mini Trucks. Pit gates will open at 9:00am
Saturday morning with practice running from 10:30 am - 12:30pm
followed by manditory division by division driver meetings. Grandstand
gates will open at 12:00 noon and the green flag will fly on the 2008
season at 2:00pm. For more information, call the Wiscasset Raceway
