Wiscasset, ME- Ryan Hayes is a busy kid. Not only does he have
the hectic life of a 17 year old Erskine Academy Senior but the
Jefferson, ME resident is also hard at work becoming an Eagle Scout,
playing varsity basketball and being on the track team. Oh yeah and by
the way, he is also busy racing in the U.S. Cellular Mini Track
division at Wiscasset Raceway where he picked up his first career
feature victory Saturday night on Ray Haskell Ford night at the center
of speed. Ryan started on the pole and led every lap of the 15 lap
event, holding off Russ Anderson of Portsmith, NH and Gray's Kevin
Oliver for the win. Anderson and Oliver would finish second and third
respectively while Josh Hajula and Bruce Oren rounded out the top
five.
In the Aable Auto Parts Mini Stock division Waldoboro's Ryan
Ripley was able to overcome lapped traffic and a lot of pressure from
Thomas True to get the feature victory. True would finish second and
Mike Mason would get his first Wiscasset Raceway trophy finishing in
the third spot. Mike Wilson took home fourth in his first trip to
Wiscasset this year and Pete McCollet would finish fifth after coming
from the back of the pack after a racing incident with point leader
Kevin Douglass.
The New England Transmission's Strictly Street division saw a new
face in victory lane this year. Litchfield's Wally Henderson got his
first win at Wiscasset Raceway this year. The win was Wally's first in
six years. The win did not come easy for the veteran driver though as
he had to hold off point leader Mike Moody over the closing laps.
Moody would finish second with Mike Hodgkin's driving for Maurice
Young Motorsports taking home third. Wally's son Jamie Henderson would
end up fourth with Ian Bresnehan fifth.
Your Verizon Wireless Super Street division had current point
leader Shawn Austin picking up the checkered flag. About half a
straightway back from him Jeremy Glasier of Appleton held of Josh
St.Clair to take home second. Allan Moeller Jr. would get fourth with
Jason Gaboury settling for the fifth position.
The Clark's Car Crushing Pro Stock's put on a great show. Scott
Moore and Jeff Burgess ran side by side for about twenty laps before
the two tangled coming into turn one. With the caution period lasting
a long time and the rain starting to come down track officials decided
to call the race. Charlie Colby would end up getting the feature win.
Youngster Dave Farrington turned in his best career finish coming home
second. Third would go to Joe Creamer. Moore would end up fourth with
Scott King in fifth.
