Sooner rather than later

Rumors of the Pro Stocks' return to Wiscasset Raceway in 2008 aren't exactly accurate. If new track owner Doug White has his way, they'll race there on a weekly basis beginning this August.

White announced Tuesday that he will hold an informational Pro Stock meeting at the track at 7 p.m. on July 11 for all interested drivers, team owners and potential advertisers. If all goes well, White will begin featuring the division at Wiscasset beginning on Saturday night, August 4th -- one week after he officially assumes ownership of the facility.

White is hoping to have more than 20 teams express interest, but said that he would consider bringing the division on board with as few as 15 established teams. His original plan was to bring the Pro Stocks to Wiscasset beginning next year, and only on a bi-weekly basis.

After several meetings with PASS president Tom Mayberry, White decided on a full-time, weekly return.

"I think that way would be better for everybody," White said. "Some might still choose to only race every other week, but we still want to have that continuity. To keep a better fan base, it's better to have them on a weekly basis."
