| Phil
Libby began racing the day Beech Ridge Speedway opened in 1949.
He won hundreds of races all over Maine in a driving career that
spanned nearly forty years.
In
1960, Phil had a season many only dream of. He won 21 of 27 races
at Beech Ridge and, likewise, dominated the racing at Oxford
Plains Speedway where he won his first track championship.
The
domination of the yellow "#99" continued at Beech
Ridge in the championship winning season of 1961.
Phil's
accomplishments on the track were only surpassed by his
accomplishments off the track.
A
five-term president of the Maine State Stock Car Racing
Association, Phil has been an ambassador of auto racing,
especially Maine auto racing for nearly 55 years.
Phil
is a member of the Beech Ridge Speedway Hall of Fame.
