While much of Wisconsin’s stock car racing events were washed out the Dirt Kings late model tour pulled off a pair of shows on the Wisconsin/Illinois border over the weekend.
Shawano veteran Troy Springborn picked up the tour win Friday night at Sycamore (Il.) Speedway while Navarino’s Nick Anvelink pulled off the same fete the following night at Wilmot Speedway.
As expected both shows drew a few new faces from Illinois with the Sycamore show drawing 25 competitors and at Wilmot 24 Dirt Kings late models turned out to do battle.
The next Dirt Kings event will be Saturday, September 17 at Outagamie Speedway in Seymour for the track’s annual “Fall Brawl.” The one day, season-ending special will host seven classes of racing. Joining the Dirt Kings late models will be the track’s weekly divisions which are IMCA modifieds, stock cars, northern sportmods, sport compacts, Unified street stocks and grand nationals.
Pits open at 1 p.m. with the first green flag scheduled to start at 4:30 p.m.
LITTLE BUCKAROO CURTAIN CLOSER – The final race of the year at Little Buckaroo Junior Motorsports Park in Cecil Friday, September 16 will allow fans to catch a glimpse of many of the sport’s future stock car racers.
The pit area will open at 4:30 p.m. with hot laps in the various divisions at 6 p.m. with the first race getting underway at 7 p.m.
SUPERNATIONALS LEFTOVERS – Green Bay native Jared Siefert led all local drivers at the IMCA Supernationals in Boone (IA) Speedway with a sixth place finish in the IMCA modified feature’s “Big Dance.” The long week of racing battled Mother Nature and some teams packed up and left early.
Other Wisconsin finishers in the modified Big Dance were Beaver Dam’s Brandon Schmidt who placed 21st.
In IMCA stock car action De Pere’s Robert Waechter Jr. finished 14th, Johnson Creek’s Jeff Steenbergen placed 15th while Kewaunee native Luke Lemmens crossed the checkers 20th.
Steenbergen doubled up as he was the highest finishing Wisconsin racer in the northern sportmod class recording a 14th place finish. Denmark’s Cole Czarneski finished 16th while Francis Creek’s Will Garceau took 27th.
PAVEMENT SCENE – The TUNDRA super late model series raindate at State Park Speedway in Wausau was washed out over the weekend. According to a post on TUNDRA’s Facebook page a possible makeup date is “in the works” for the George Selinger Memorial race at SPS.
The final race for the series is set for Sunday, September 25 at Dells Raceway Park.
NCAL – Veteran Tom Carlson of West Salem is among the latest drivers to file an entry for the rescheduled Whelen World Crate Asphalt Late Model Championship Twin 55’s presented by Ken’s Sports at Marshfield Motor Speedway Friday, September 16. Qualifying is slated for 5:30 p.m. with the first green flag set to fly at 7:35 p.m.
