WHITE READY to UNVEIL a BIG SEASON
at
WISCASSET RACEWAY
by Ken Minott
RACEWAY PRESS
RELEASE 3/31/08 - In just few
short weeks Wiscasset Raceway will pull back the
curtain on the 2008 season and the start of a new
era for "Maine's Center of Speed". Owners Doug and
Becky White will roll out an ambitious schedule to
start their first full season at the helm. While
2007 was a year of uncertainty, speculation and
transition, 2008 is bringing a new feeling of
excitement and anticipation. Nobody is more excited
than Doug White himself. "We're going to make coming
to the Center of Speed an event, an event not to be
missed. It's all about giving the fans an
exciting and fast paced show, getting them home at a
decent hour and leaving them feeling like they can't
wait for next weekend." In his short time in charge
last season and throughout the winter, White and his
team have already made several noticeable changes to
the facility including fresh paint on the bleachers
and buildings, a new logo and several new staff
members, and a countless roster of eager sponsors.
From the racers point of view, the back stretch wall
has been moved back a foot and a half to allow
better racing and more pit pads are being added for
the growing list of drivers expected each week.
Other slight changes have been made in lineup and
qualifying procedures which White feels will only
enhance the excitement on the track. Probably the
biggest incentive for the drivers this year is the
money that is on the table for them to win. Weekly
purses have gone up and will pay deeper in the field
and the season point fund will exceed $80,000
including a nice $10,000 payoff to the 2008 Pro
stock track champion. In January White was voted by
the media as the "Promoter of the Year" at the
Northeast Motorsports Expo. He and his family took
control of track from longtime owners David and
Sandra St Clair midway through last season, but this
year offers the opportunity for White to put his own
stamp on the continued success of the track.
The 2008 Wiscasset
Raceway schedule will present a program featuring
six weekly racing series divisions (Clark Car
Crushing Pro stocks; Smith Construction Late Model
Sportsman; Unicel Super Streets; Keystone Automotive
Strictly Streets; Aable Auto Parts Mini Stocks; and
White & Bradstreet Truck Division) to go with
appearances by several popular regional touring
series. A significant portion of the Pro All Stars
Series North schedule will be decided at Wiscasset
with four visits including the $30,000 to win the
New England Toyota Tundra 250 Sunday August 17th. PASS
will also wrap up its season at Wiscasset October
4th and 5th with the championship weekend "Fall
Brawl". To go along with the early October event,
Wiscasset will host the $1,000 to win 50 lap
Pure-Stock Mini Stock Nationals, the $3,000 to win
100 lap Street Stock Nationals, and the $10,000 to
win 100 lap Super Street / Sportsman
Nationals, putting a big exclamation point on busy
season. Qualifying races for these three major
events will be scattered throughout the 2008
schedule. Napa Auto Parts will present the return of
the Labor Day Weekend Twin 100'a for Late Model
Sportsman and Super Streets. Two prominent regional
touring series will also make their first ever
visits to Wiscasset Raceway in 2008.
Then Saturday night
July 28th Wiscasset Ford will help welcome the groundshaking True Value Modified Series to Maine's
only high-bank oval. Finally, the Allison Legacy
Series will return to Wiscasset after four years
away and both the NELCAR Legends and Midcoast Super
Minicup Series will also make occasional stops this
season.
Memorial Day
weekend will be a special time at Wiscasset Raceway
as the Coastal 200 continues its holiday tradition
by gathering the top LMS drivers from the northeast
to shoot for the $10,000 winner's check. Last year
young DJ Shaw outdueled Maine racing legend Mike
Rowe in one of the most memorable Coastal 200
battles. Doug White has added to the festivities of
this big event with the inclusion of "Operation
Recognition"; a community initiative to thank
military members past and present and their
families. "Mark you calendars for Memorial Day
weekend" says White. "We're planning a giant
celebration and recognition program for our
military that day. Our Governor, our Adjutant
General, and other military personnel will be there
as the Hero's we'll be honoring." As an added "thank
you", White has assigned five occasions this
summer when the track will honor active duty
military members and their families. On these
selected dates Wiscasset Raceway will admit, free of
charge, all active duty Military, National
Guardsmen, and Reservists plus their spouses and
children. The only requirement is that they be in
uniform and present their military ID at the gate.
The first of these five dates will be for the
Coastal 200 on Sunday May 25th.

From Weird To Practical, Big Al's Got
It
Paula Gibbs
Having trouble finding an NFL eraser shaped like a football?
All ready for your trip to Florida but can't find any
folding coat hangers?
How does the idea of a whole package of vacuum cleaner
bags for 99 cents sound?
One of the certain signs of spring in midcoast Maine is
the re-opening of Big Al's on Route 1 in Wiscasset. The odd
lot store is a must at Christmas time for the perfect
stocking stuffers, a regular stop for summer tour buses, and
a once-a-month stop for locals who want to see what's new.
From the outrageous -- a toilet seat cover embroidered
with "This Too Shall Pass" -- to the practical -- paint
brushes, coloring books, and combs -- Big Al's has the
perfect item for a joke on a co-worker or a great gift for a
good friend.
How about a buckwheat pillow for $2.88? A wood carrot
fence?
Easter's just around the corner. How about "a musical
girl bunny on a horse" or an Easter cake pan?
Tired of the same old white or off-white wall plates (the
covers that go over your electrical switches)? No problem --
Big Al's has wall plates with birds, teddy bears, sports
stuff, cats, laundry room paraphernalia, tools, a merry go
round, Noah's Ark, a pear, an apple, a yellow ducky,
doggies, and daisies.
Let's see... the perfect gift for a co-worker? Does he or
she play golf? There's a desk business card holder with two
golf balls on each end.
Do you have friends or relatives who have trouble
managing their pills? Big Al's has a pill keeper, a pill
divider, and a pill masher.
Other useful items in the health section include a
battery operated back scratcher, a heating pad, a portable
urinal, a digital electronic thermometer and a foot bath.
Need something for that teething baby? How about a
plastic camcorder-shaped baby teether?
At the end of your rope? Big Al's sells it by the pound.
Rope, that is.
In the pest control department there's a limited, but
worthwhile choice of two items: a "gopher gasser" for the
critter who's chewing up your lawn; and silverfish packs for
getting rid of those tiny wriggling things that like to hang
out in your basement.
Got a friend who likes to fish? Give him "Boogie Bass,
The Amazing and Lifelike Singing and Dancing Fish."
Need a solution to that puddle of water that forms at the
end of your downspout? Direct it away from your house with a
colorful ceramic "Frog Downspout Catcher."
Want something for the little homemaker? How about "The
Frog Can Crusher," a space saving can compactor (shaped, of
course like a green frog).
A gift for a fat-cat friend who has everything? How about
a cowhide design trimline phone? No? How about a
bigger-than-average phone that has little spaces beside each
button where you can insert a picture of your favorite
person or dog?
Big Al's devotes an entire aisle to candles: big ones,
fat ones, curly ones; some with triple wicks, some that
float, some shaped like row- boats; and every possible color
and design you can imagine, including leopard skin.
And then, of course there's picture frames, designed with
every imaginable theme -- lighthouses, hearts, dogs, moose,
baseball, soccer, sailboats
If you know someone who's getting married, there's a
whole counter full of nifty little wedding stuff: plastic
bride and groom cake top decorations, packages of 24 bottles
of wedding bubbles, bouquet holders, miniature rose vases,
lighted bridal garlands, drawstring sachets, invitations,
glass slipper favors, wedding frames, and place cards.
"Save time and tears," says the packaging on a white
plastic microwave onion cooker. "Onions cook up soft and
tender and juicy, just like oven baked, but in 1/4 of the
time."
Best not delay, if you see something that catches your
eye. Interspersed throughout the merchandise are signs that
say, "If you like it, buy it now. We may never have it
again."

WISCASSET RACEWAY PRESS
RELEASE 3/23/08

DAVE LIND RACING OFFERS
FREE TIRES FOR COASTAL 200 AT WISCASSET
As the finishing touches are put together for the
2008 season at Wiscasset Raceway, Dave Lind Racing of
Norfolk, MA has stepped up to help two lucky race teams
in one of the track's premier events. Memorial Day
weekend will mark the return of the $10,000 to win
Coastal 200 to the "Center of Speed" and Dave Lind
Racing has agreed to give a set of tires to two
different Late Model Sportsman drivers who enter the May
25th race. DLR is the distributor of American Racing
Tires throughout New England including Wiscasset
Raceway. Track race director Derek Mingo announced the
deal recently and stated that all teams showing up for
the day of the Coastal 200 will be eligible for the
drawing. "Teams will buy their tires as they usually do
and then at a manditory pre-race drivers meeting the
drawing will be held for tires. Drivers must be present
at the meeting to win. The two teams chosen as the
winners will be given their money back for a set of four
tires they bought." Mingo also announced that although
there is no racing scheduled for the day before the
Coastal 200, there will be a practice session Saturday
May 24th from noon to 5:00pm. Any LMS teams purchasing
tires Saturday will have them impounded at the track for
Sunday's race. The Coastal 200 has established itself as
one of the premier racing events on the northern New
England racing schedule. In 2007 DJ Shaw of Center
Conway, NH outdueled Mike Rowe for the big payoff. For
more information on the free tires from Dave Lind
Racing, teams can call the Wiscasset Raceway offiice at
(207) 632-7322 or Derek Mingo at (207) 636-6383.

Cheerleaders Looking Grand, Thanks to
Raceway Owner
Barbara
Martin - Staff Reporter – Wiscasset News
A
kind of hush may have fallen over the Wiscasset Raceway
during the snowy winter season, but owner Doug White has
found a way to keep the cheers alive all year.
Wiscasset High School
Assistant Principal and Athletic Director Matt Carlson said
White walked into his office at Wiscasset
High School last August with
a question, and an offer any school administrator would love
to hear. "What do you need?"
White asked. Carlson said White
offered to make a donation to any of the athletic programs
at the school that could use a little community support.
With educational money belts tightening all over the state,
accepting the offer was a no-brainer; the only question was
where to start. "Over the past two
years, the uniform replacement account was cut by $10,500,"
Carlson said, with no money in the budget for that purpose
for this school year. "Cheerleading Coach Kim
Dodge and the All Sports Booster Club have been working to
raise money for new cheerleading uniforms and this donation
put us over the top," Carlson said. The school has only one
set of benches on the upper athletic field that have to be
moved when there are tennis competitions and events at other
fields. It was clear that dreams of a new set of benches
started dancing in Carlson's head as well. Willing to put his
money where his mouth was, White donated over $1,200 to the
school's athletic program, making the purchase of a new set
of benches and uniforms possible. White was the former
co-owner of DNK Select Used Cars in Farmingdale. He had
planned to go into semi-retirement, but the lure of owning
his own racetrack was just irresistible. It was a dream come
true, and my wife Becky and I are very excited about it,"
White said. "We are here to stay and have always believed in
supporting local school athletics. Those kids are our
future." White said that he
plans to be involved with all the schools next year, hoping
to help the middle and elementary programs. "One of our other
projects is to work with businesses in the area," White
added. "We have several major racing events planned for next
year that will bring between 5,000 and 15,000 visitors to
the area. We like to have a good relationship with people in
the hospitality industry so that we can refer guests to
them." White said he has
talked with Town Manager Arthur Faucher and believes that
the draw of the raceway will help stimulate the local
economy. Although he is now
vacationing on a beach in Florida, snowstorms aside, he's
already begun revving his engines in anticipation of the
start of the next season at the raceway. In the meantime,
Wiscasset High School cheerleaders are
loving their new, fashionable look and cheering for the
folks who made it possible. And, whoever had the
chore of lugging the benches from field to field last year
will be rooting for the Wiscasset Raceway all year long.

NORTHEAST
MOTORSPORTS EXPO: White moving forward
By TRAVIS BARRETT
Staff Writer 01/07/2008
AUGUSTA
-- Failure, as they say, is not an option. At least not in
Doug White's mind.
The
Wiscasset Raceway owner is set to begin his first full
season at the facility after purchasing the track last
summer. Honored this weekend as the state's Promoter of the
Year by the Northeast Motorsports Expo, held at the Augusta
Civic Center, White is hoping to spring Wiscasset forward by
reaching back into the past.
"We
just want to make it an event that people want to come to,"
White said of attracting fans to Saturday night short-track
racing. "We want to make it as good as going to Funtown for
a day. With any type of industry, you have to try to create
something with how you want to do it."
Not
only has White brought back the Pro Stock division on a
weekly basis, making Wiscasset one of only two tracks in the
state with the costly division, but he's offering a $10,000
payout to that division's champion. White has four PASS
North Series races on the slate this summer including the
season finale, the Coastal 200 for Late Models, a "national
championship" for both entry-level Strictly Stocks and Mini
Stocks, a True Value Modified Series date and the USAC Ford
Focus midgets.
Instead
of cutting back to fight rising costs across the industry,
to both track operators and race teams, White's making a
full push forward. He said he wants it to be like it used to
be 20 years ago -- with big purses for racers and plenty of
variety to interest teams and fans alike.
"I just
like to attack something," said White, who will pay Pro
Stock drivers $1,500 for a 50-lap feature win in 2008. "I
prefer to see things grow, and I try and make it happen. . .
. I wanted to do something that tracks used to do and pay
(bigger purses). I wanted to make it go back to what I
thought were more traditional payouts."
White
is also aware that people will be keeping a close eye on his
car counts and the way in which the track is run as the
season moves along. He said it's up to him to make sure
sponsors, teams and fans all get what they're being
promised.
"I
think we can work all these things together," White said.
"Already the transition for me taking over the track has
been unbelievable.
"I look
at it like every year I have to succeed. I've never been the
type of person that looks at failure positively."

WISCASSET RACEWAY PRESS RELEASE 9/18/07
WISCASSET RACEWAY
WRAPS UP 2007 SEASON WITH RAIN, RACES, AND AWARDS
by Ken Minott
Race Correspondent for complete story click
HERE
Wiscasset Raceway put an end
to the 2007 racing season with a full card of racing
Saturday afternoon and then trophies handed out to the
top ten in each of seven weekly racing series divisions.
The program was scheduled to roll off at noon, but the
Saturday morning rain that skirted the east coast of New
England pushed the start back to 4:30pm once the track
drying and practice sessions were complete. As a result,
track owner / promoter Doug White elected to run
features only in the ten divisions scheduled to race.
Most division championships had been wrapped up prior to
the start of the show, but the Mini Stock and Prostock
titles would need to be determined in the final race of
the year.
Edgecomb's Charlie Colby took the win in the 30 lap
feature for the
Clark Car Crushing Prostocks,
but the title would go to Scott Moore of Anson. He
turned in 5 top 5's in 7 races this season, highlighted
by a season best 3rd three times. It was Moore's first
career title. Chuck Colby joined his father and Moore in
victory lane following Saturday's race.
The 30 lap feature for the
Smith Construction
Late Models
was won by Wiscasset's Kevin Sherman. It was his
division high 3rd win of the season and wrapped up the
Rookie of the Year and runner-up point honors. Sherman
out-dueled Boothbay's Steve Reny for the win. Behind
them rookie Nick Hinkley outraced Chris Thorne for the
3rd place trophy. Hinkley had jumped up from the teen
division midway through the season and picked up a Late
Model trophy in just his 6th race. The Late Model
Championship was won by Sidney's Chris Thorne, who held
the point lead from opening day. For Thorne, a 2005
Super Sportsman champ at Unity Raceway, it was his first
Wiscasset title. For the 2007 season, he picked up 13
top five's and 2 feature wins.
The 25 lap
Super Street
feature was won by Appleton's Will Collins. The 2005
champ continued his late season roll with his 4th win of
the season and 3rd win in the final 4 weeks. Collins was
joined in victory lane by defending champ Adam
Chadbourne and Mac Hannan Jr. Veteran racer Bernie
Dinsmore limped to a last place finish in the feature
but it was good enough to secure his first career
championship in his long career. He wrapped up the year
with 11 top 5's and 2 feature wins, plus a division high
5 heat wins.
Chelsea's
Maurice Young officially put his name at the top of the
Wiscasset record books with his 6th career track title.
Young finished 2nd in the 20 lap
Strictly
feature to former champ Mike Moody, but he mearly needed
to take the green flag to secure the championship. The
title breaks his tie with 5-time Prostock champ Scott
Chubbuck for most career championships. He finished 2007
with a career best season; 17 top 5's and 7 feature
wins. Two of those wins included dominant runs in both
Strictly Street 75 lap main events in which he led 145
out of 150 laps. Bobby Mesimer of Woolwich joined Moody
and Young in victory lane and finished as the division
runner-up.
The
Stock Mini
division came down to a last race battle between point
leader Kevin Douglass of Sidney and defending champ
Shawn Kimball of Pittston. While Douglass held a large
point lead over Kimball, he had missed opening day so he
had one less race to go into the track's season ending
championship multiplier. So, the championship came down
to which driver finished ahead of the other. Douglass
started back in the pack, passed Kimball near the
midpoint of the race and went on to win the 20 lap
feature and the title. To make him earn it, Kimball
chased Douglass across the line for 2nd in the race and
2nd in the division by just 10 points. Douglass wrapped
up the year with 18 top 5's and 9 feature wins.
Chelsea's
Marje Albert successfully defended her
Ladies
Division
with another dominant season. She won to 10 lap feature
to finish the season with 21 top 5's and 8 feature wins.
She was the only driver at Wiscasset to finish in the
top five in all 21 races this season. Marje's daughter
Kayla Albert picked up the runnerup trophy for the
ladies class and the 3rd place trophy for the Teen
Division, making her the only driver to pick up a top
ten trophy in two seperate divisions.
Tyler Tibbetts
of Montville won his 4th straight
Teen
Division
feature, giving him a track-high 11 wins this season.
However, Cody Sleeper of Chelsea picked up the Teen
Division championship with 17 top 5's and a feature win.
Other winners
on Saturday's program included Don Giggey of Unity in
the shortened 6 lap
Truck
race; Steve Rackliff of Starks in the 15 lap Sport 4
exebition feature; and Bob Weymouth of Topsham in the 20
lap
NELCAR
Legend
feature. Wiscasset Raceway is in the process of planning
the upcoming 2008 season.
