Following what he termed a “successful” Summer Sizzler Series, Wiscasset Raceway owner Dave St. Clair already has his sights set on next season.

“We talked about having two races at each track next year, or maybe including Unity,” St. Clair reported. “We’re going to have to sit down and talk about it, though. But I would definitely call it a success.”

Wednesday’s finale at the Intown Auto 100 at Speedway 95 in Hermon gave the points title to Kenny Wright of Woolwich, who eked out a victory over Chris Stanley of Norridgewock. The duo were tied heading into the feature event and finished first and second, respectively.

St. Clair said the responses from drivers and fans were mostly positive.

“I would say so,” he said. “We had a good crowd here, a good car count at Spud. And Del was very happy with the way things went Wednesday night. I think everybody liked the idea of good payoffs for good racing.”

St. Clair, along with Speedway 95 owners Del Merritt and Alice Baker, and Spud Speedway owner John Albert, worked out the idea of the series, allowing their drivers to race for bigger purses and a point fund.

The idea was sprung after the American Canadian Tour formed its Sunoco Region I series, which included tracks in Oxford, Scarborough, and Unity.

“They did call us in for a meeting but then they started it without including us,” St. Clair said. “We just wanted to get something going for our drivers.”

Sunday marks the finale of the Sunoco Region I series, with a 100-lap feature at Unity Raceway. Post time is 2 p.m.

Jeff Taylor of Farmington, who has yet to win a race on the six-race series, sits atop the season points, with 394.

Tracy Gordon of Strong (380), Mike Rowe of Turner (371), Stan Meserve of Unity (364), and Ralph Nason of Unity (363) are still within striking distance if Taylor runs into trouble early in the race.

John Kalel’s comeback at Speedway 95 was short lived. At least for the time being.

After having his car up for sale for much the offseason, to the tune of no buyers, a New Brunswick man called out of the blue recently offering to purchase the car which won four consecutive points championships.

“We couldn’t say no,” said Tammy Kalel, John’s wife. “We were racing but the guy offered us what we wanted for it so he’d be crazy to say no. If we were in the points race or something we would have held on to it.”

Jerry Curtis of Geary, New Brunswick, purchased the car and will race at the recently reopened New Brunswick International Speedway in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

As for Kalel’s plans for next year, Tammy Kalel is still unsure.

“I think he’d like to get into a new car, but we just don’t know yet,” Mrs. Kalel said. “We haven’t really thought much about it. Everything has happened so fast.”
