LOOKING AHEAD TO THE UPCOMING WEEK OF RACING……..
EAGLE RIVER B MOD SHOOTOUT – The $1,000-to-win Chef Rene’s B Mod Shootout will take place Tuesday night, June 21 at Eagle River Speedway in Eagle River, Wisconsin.
If you’ve never made a trip up that way it’s a bucket list venue for sure. The track was carved out of the northwoods timber by Ken Glembin in 1975 and new owners Pat and Patti Zdroik have made constant improvements since taking over the promotional reins of the track a few seasons ago.
The hammer drops at 7:30 p.m. Car pool with your friends and take a trip to Eagle River.
