During the offseason, it was announced that both Amara Parker and Maddy Herrick, two accomplished weekly champions at the neighboring Oxford Plains Speedway, would be joining the pack at Wiscasset Speedway this season. These talented women join a growing list of females that have tried their hand at Maine’s biggest and fastest speedway.

Wiscasset Speedway has a knack for making racing bigger and better with each and every passing year. This offseason was no exception, with the addition of the Davis Erector Group Crate Modifieds to the already action-packed Group 1 lineup.

A new baseball team in the Pine Tree Men’s Baseball League will play its home games at Wiscasset Middle High School.

The Midcoast Maine Interscholastic Equestrian Association team had an end of the season celebration on Feb. 22 to acknowledge all the hard work and success of the team this year.
