Strong start helps Colby capture Wiscasset race

WISCASSET – Newcastle’s Chuck Colby took advantage of a rare front row starting position and ran away with the 25- lap Limited Sportsman feature at Wiscasset Raceway Saturday night.

The race went caution free with Colby picking up his fifth win of the season. He won by over a full straightaway.

West Bath’s Nick Reno was locked in a good race with Bill Pinkham of Wiscasset over the first half of the race.

While Reno moved up to finish second, Pinkham faded over the second half to finish fifth. The previous week’s winner, Washington’s John Rideout, took third and Chelsea’s Maurice Young landed in fourth.
