Bob Libby
began racing at Beech Ridge Speedway in 1954. He spent
twenty-five years driving race cars and winning races from
Massachusetts to the Canadian Maritimes.
Highly respected as a driver and car owner by his fellow
competitors, Bob was elected to the position of President of the
Main State Stock Car Racing Association to an unprecedented 15
terms.
In the early 1960’s, Bob also served several years as
President of the Pine State Stock Car Association at Oxford
Plains Speedway and was instrumental in creating the speedway’s
asphalt transition to the same size as Beech Ridge’s 1/3-mile
track.
For the last 50 years, Bob has quietly and modestly
influenced the direction of Beech Ridge Speedway and the sport
of auto racing in Maine as a driver, car owner, multi-term
MSSCRA President and, for the last fifteen years, the Director
of Competition at Beech Ridge.
Bob Libby is a member of the Beech Ridge Speedway Hall of
Fame and joins his brother Phil as a member of the Maine
Motorsports Hall of Fame.
