Stan
Meserve’s forty-plus year involvement in racing has taken him
from Unity Raceway to the high-banks of Daytona International
Speedway back to the short tracks of Maine, New England and
Canada and a return trip to NASCAR’s premier series - Nextel
Cup.
A racing career that began in 1965 at Unity, found Stan
running the full NASCAR Grand National Division schedule in 1968
in an under-funded 1967 Dodge Charger. Stan entered 31 of the 49
races and placed 26th in the final Grand National Division point
standings.
Stan founded Distance Racing Products in 1983, fabricating
race cars and selling parts to drivers all over the northeast.
He retired from driving shortly there after to become the
Technical Director for the ACT Tour. Ten years later, Stan
returned to driving full-time, finally retiring as a full-time
driver in 1998.
He is the only driver to win championships at four different
Maine tracks - Unity, Speedway 95, Wiscasset Speedway and Oxford
Plains Speedway. As to the number of race wins, Stan isn’t
sure. "Its a lot!"
Stan is back "down south" - working at Dale
Earnhardt Inc. and on ocassion will strap on the racing helmet
and compete in a Pro Stock race either here in Maine or at
southern short track
