Chubbuck takes Coastal 200

At Wiscasset Raceway, Scott Chubbuck of Wiscasset charged to the lead on the second lap of action in the previously suspended PTM Coastal 200 and held off all challengers the rest of the way en route to victory on Sunday afternoon.

Drivers started the race on July 8, but a steady drizzle forced organizers to suspend the race after 57 laps. The final 143 laps were contested on Sunday.

Chubbuck took the lead over Ralph Nason of Unity and steadily built a lead. Nason fell back as far as fifth at one point, but when he moved back into the top three, Chubbuck said his spotter told him to “get up on the wheel and drive hard.”

Chubbuck won $11,000 for the win while Bar Harbor’s John Phippen took second. Nason finished third, Larry Gelinas of Scarborough earned fourth and Richmond’s Casey Nash took fifth.
