WISCASSET — Waldoboro Selectman Abden Simmons will be racing in the Enduro on Saturday, Aug. 24 at Wiscasset Speedway to benefit the Waldo Theatre.
The 100-lap race is designed to provide entry-level racers a chance to become involved in auto racing, according to a press release.
The public is invited to pledge whatever amount they choose for each lap Abden drives and all proceeds will go to The Waldo. Abden is setting out to drive all 100 laps, the release noted.
The car is a Ford Focus that Mr. Wilshire of Friendship won and asked Abden to race.
The green flag for race night is 6 p.m. The Enduro is the last race of the evening.
Pledge forms are available at The Waldo’s website: waldotheatre.org or can be made at the track.
In a press release, The Waldo’s board noted they are grateful to Abden for racing for the organization.
All funds raised will be used to continue restoration work, the release noted.
