141 SPEEDWAY 2013 – 1ST EVER 10,000-TO-WIN MODIFIED RACE IN NE WISCONSIN
Posted on: Monday January 10, 2022
It was on this day nine years ago when 141 Speedway promoters Bruce and Renee Conard, Merle Lisowe and Joe Higgins announced the first ever $10,000-to-win modified feature in northeastern Wisconsin with the Clash @ The Creek V.
It was the first time in the area that modifieds would battle for a five-figure payday.
The original date was rained out and run a few weeks later when Luxemburg native Benji LaCrosse took home the big payday. The big paying race continues to this day at the high-banked, quarter-mile clay oval in Francis Creek, Wisconsin.
