GREENVILLE, S.C. – Reigning NASCAR Busch East Series rookie of the year Sean Caisse captured his first career win in the An American Revolution 150 at Greenville-Pickens Speedway on Saturday night. Caisse’s car is owned by Cherryfield’s Andy Santerre, who is also the crew chief.

Brian Hoar of Williston, Vt., finished second, pole-sitter Mike Olsen of North Haverhill, N.H., was third, Uncasville, Vt.’s Matt Kobyluck finished fourth, and Bryon Chew of Mattituck, N.Y., rounded out the top five.

They all took a shot at victory in the hectic closing stages, along with hard-luck Ryan Moore of Scarborough, who spun as he lost the lead to Caisse and finished 24th, nine laps down.

Moore, who started sixth at Greenville-Pickens, was coming off an impressive 14th-place finish in the Craftsman Truck Series’ Sam’s Town 400 at Texas Motor Speedway on Friday night.

The Busch East Series returns to New England next Friday for the TSI Harley-Davidson 150 at Stafford (Conn.) Motor Speedway.

Rain ruins racing again

Steady showers Saturday forced Oxford Plains Speedway to cancel Dunkin’ Donuts Night. The Mini Stock 100-lap main event has been moved to Maine State Lottery Fireworks Night on Monday, July 3. The next event is opening night of the Summer Racing Series on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.

NASCAR Nite at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough was also a victim of rain. The Pro Series 100 has been rescheduled for Saturday, July 8. Thursday Thunder debuts this Thursday.

Racing at Unity Raceway has also been cancelled. The Super Street Twin 50s will be rescheduled, but no date has been announced. Thursday Thrillas makes its season debut this Thursday at 7 p.m.

Stewart rarin’ to go

At Long Pond, Pa., Tony Stewart is done talking about his injured shoulder.

With Stewart’s gutty third-place finish in Sunday’s Pocono 500, the defending NASCAR champ showed he can drive as well with one bum shoulder as he can with two good ones.

Stewart felt no soreness and said he felt close to full strength after driving all 500 miles two weeks after he broke his right shoulder blade at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.

“I feel like I could run another 500-mile race right now and still feel the same,” he said.

Looking relaxed before the race with his arms folded as he leaned against his No. 20 Chevrolet, Stewart grinned as he watched a highlights package of himself on the big screen before sliding into his car.

This was one performance to add to that highlight reel.
