Mo' Mo

Like Tommy Ricker before him at Oxford Plains, the short-track world needs more racers like Maurice "Mo" Young.

Young has 5 Wiscasset Raceway championships -- 4 Strictly Streets, the division he races in now, 1 Late Model -- and is well on his way to a track-record 6th this season. The racer out of Chelsea owned a huge 146-point cushion over Ed Pierpont entering the weekend, with only 7 races remaining.
Heard in the pit area earlier tonight that Young had aspirations of getting in a Late Model for 2008. Young said the best he would do would be a Super Street next season.
"I'm racing what I can afford to race, and having fun doing it," Young said.
What? No Busch car for Mo?
"Got your checkbook?" he asked.
By the way, Young went out and led every lap of Saturday's 75-lap feature, nearly lapping the entire field at one point.
