Huge weekend planned at local track
CARIBOU — Drivers were busy at Spud Speedway Saturday for the night of weekly racing.
On Saturday, July 3 at 6 p.m. marks the first major event of the summer at Spud Speedway. The Mainely Modifieds will be in town for the first time ever to put on a show of skill and speed. These 10-15 year olds will go at speeds faster than Late Model Sportsmans do. They will race three 25-lap races and invert the entire field each time as they finish. The winner will be the racer with the best average finish.
Then the Quigley Building Supply Late Model Sportsman will have its own 75-lap race. Saturday night will mark the return of several local drivers for the season. Johnny Albert in the double zero car is coming to prove he still has speed at 70 years of age, along with Chris Pangburn from Easton. They will have to beat a whole slew of drivers from downstate as several teams are making their way up to tame Northern Maine’s “center of speed” and it’s local drivers. Jerry Williams, Therran McDougal and Jeff Willette might have a little to say about anybody else taking the top spot.
Saturday will have a full card of racing in all divisions, topped off with fireworks.
