Saturday July, 12th 2008
Another beautiful and packed night at Wiscasset speedway
had T.J. and the Watson racing crew excited for a good
run!. T.J. started 3rd in his heat race
and had a very strong car, He got boxed in on the bottom
and made it 3 wide on the inside 3 times off of turn 2
but backed out to avoid wrecking the field. T.J. ended
up 5th in the heat earning him a 10th place starting
position in the feature. T.J. Was happy with the car
after the heat so the team only made minor adjustments
for the feature.
when
the green flag dropped T.J. made a good drive into the
top 5 before the 1st and only caution of the race came
out. On the restart T.J. drove his Ford Fusion into the
3rd spot where he would remain until the checkers flew.
Another strong run for the Watson racing team
pushed T.J. into 6th in points not far out of the top 3.
With that strong run The team is preparing for the TD
Banknorth 250 where T.J. has some unfinished business
from last year.
The official first day of summer
and longest day of the year proved to be a good one for
Watson racing. T.J. started outside pole in his heat
race and even though the Tire pressures got started to
low T.J. managed to make a late run to challenge for the
heat win coming up just a car length short
taking home
2nd place and a 4th place starting position for the
feature, After making the necessary adjustments the team
was ready for battle. When the Green dropped T.J. made a
strong run up the outside to take the 2nd spot and then
he set his eyes on the lead which opened up to about ten
car lengths while T.J. was battling for position,

CHUCK COLBY AND TJ WATSON PICKUP KEY WINS AT THE CENTER
OF SPEED
Chuck Colby's patience paid dividends Saturday night in
Wiscasset
Raceway's top division. The patience wasn't
what he did on the track but rather off the track
leading up to Saturday night's program sponsored by Hafford's Saloon of Waterville. The third generation
racer had been working on a new car leading up the the
start of
the 2008 season, but rather than rush to get it
finished, he waited and filled the time driving a car
provided by friend Norm Sherman for the first three weeks. The car was finally ready Saturday evening as
Wiscasset brought the action to its first night race of
the year. Colby survived a caution filled 50 lap feature
for the Clark's Car Crushing Prostocks, losing the lead
on two occasions, but battling back to retake the lead
on lap 13 and go on to pick up the feature win.
