EAGLE RIVER LATE MODELS TO SANCTION WITH USRA IN 2025
(Eagle River, WI) Feb. 4 – Eagle River Speedway has announced that it will sanction its late model division with the United States Racing Association (USRA) in 2025.
The popular division has seen slow, yet steady growth at the third-mile, clay oval in northern Wisconsin during the past five seasons. The rules package for the weekly, Eagle River late models and USRA have matched up very closely in recent years.

“With the sanctioning there comes a certain comfort level that the drivers have,” said track promoter Pat Zdroik. “Our hope is to have a few of these drivers decide to pop in and give our track a try on a Tuesday night and possibly garner some points in the process.”
USRA-sanctioned late model drivers have a chance to race for a chunk of both a national and track point fund. The national champion will earn a $1,000 check paying out the top five positions: 1) $1,000, 2) $700, 3) $500, 4) $200, 5) $200.
National points include each competitors best twenty (20) points nights from Feb. 21 to Oct. 5. The track point fund champion will earn a $600 paycheck with the top ten point getters earning cash. 1) $600, 2) $400, 3) $300, 4) $250, 5) $200, 6) $175, 7) $150, 8) $125, 9) $125, 10) $125.
Track points include all events held at a USRA-sanctioned track submitted by the track. Amount is based on a minimum of 16 events with an overall car count of 300. Amounts are pro-rated by percentage of actual overall car count, and then by percentage of events if less than 16 are held.
The national rookie-of-the-year will earn a $300 paycheck. Eligible competitors may have participated in ten (10) or less events in their division prior to the current year.
