Clark feels right at home

The Pro Stocks returned to Wiscasset Raceway, and Johnny Clark returned to victory lane.

Clark won the 50-lap Pro Stock feature at the track Saturday night, welcoming August with a victory and ushering out a crash-riddled July. Clark wrecked out of PASS North Series races at Thompson International Speedway and Riverside Speedway (Canada) before finishing a career-worst 4th at Riverside Speedway in Groveton, N.H., in a car he'd just finished rebuilding.

With his dad's Clark's Car Crushing business sponsoring the Pro Stocks' return to Wiscasset after a 3-year hiatus, it was somewhat fitting that Clark won. It was also fitting that Clark, one of the most vocal supporters of the division, found victory lane in the return.



"It's Wiscasset. It's where I started," Clark said, whose rise to prominence came when he won the Coastal 150 back in 1997. "It's my home track and I love this place. It was a lot of fun to come here and win."


Clark won in front of the biggest crowd Wiscasset Raceway has seen this season -- despite the thunderstorms that surrounded the area earlier in the day -- and bigger than any in the last few years.

"Coming off of turn 4," said heat race winner Jeff Burgess, "I looked up, and the place looked like it was pretty busy. It was good to see racing and the crowd back at Wiscasset."

This week's race will feature Sessions, Moore, King and the five guys who were there when St. Clair was smart enough to dump the division in the first place. Can't wait to see the highlights.

Your already waiting for the highlights, so it must be fairly interesting to you. Or are you just BORED with your Late Model racing ?
