COASTAL 200

2024 COASTAL 200 WEEKEND - MAY 24th thru MAY 26th

PRESENTED BY COLBROOK TRAILERS - GT OVERHEAD DOORS - CLH & SONS

We’re excited to announce that GT Overhead Door and Coldbrook Trailers have agreed to return as presenting sponsors of the 2024 Coastal 200 at Wiscasset Speedway on Memorial Day weekend- highlighted by the $15,000 to win Coastal 200 Late Model showdown. We’re also welcoming CLH & Son Inc of Auburn as a presenting sponsor of the weekend’s events. C.L.H. & Son, Inc., was incorporated in 1979 as a family-owned business specializing in residential and commercial site work, utilities, snow removal, and rough landscaping. Their Culvert Rehabilitation Services Division was added in 2002, and lining culverts for state, municipal, and private clients have become a significant portion of their work.

Duane Greaton of GT Overhead Door stated “We’re excited to once again team up with Mike (Hopkins) and Josh (Dow) at Coldbrook Trailer, and welcome Travis (Stearns) at CLH to sponsor the 2024 Coastal 200. The Coastal is such a prestigious short track event, and we couldn’t be happier to partner with Richard, Vanessa, Ken and the rest of the amazing staff at Wiscasset Speedway”. Josh Dow of Coldbrook Trailer Sales & Service echoed those sentiments “We’re pleased to once again work with Wiscasset Speedway for the Coastal 200. Duane for GT Overhead Door, and Travis from CLH & Son are both great friends and customers of ours. We’re proud to have them along with us on this deal”. Dow added “We’re all racers at heart and are just proud to be a small part of this great race”

We’re also announcing that Coastal 200 Weekend will be expanded to a 3-day affair as Friday night May 24th will feature a Coastal Kickoff party with the band Motor Booty Affair. The “Mother Ship” will land at Wiscasset Speedway for an on track dance party from 7-10pm along with food trucks. Info will be released later this fall on how to get tickets. Day 2 of Coastal weekend on Saturday will feature the 4th annual Coastal Cruise-In & Fun Day to benefit Special Olympics. The Saturday event will once again feature a cruise-in car show, cornhole tournament, food trucks and live music. Sunday, May 26th is the big race day that will feature, Wiscasset Modifieds, Strictly Streets, and the big 200 lap $10,000 to win main event for the Wood Pellet Warehouse Late Models. Track promoter Ken Minott is also working on possibly adding an additional outside touring class to the day’s program.

Stay tuned for more details as they become available.
