THE NIGHT CHUCK GRALL BEAT MARK MARTIN @ 141
Posted on: Monday May 5, 2025
It’s not often a local, low buck short track racer can beat a NASCAR star like Mark Martin.
But it did happen at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek in July, 1986.
Chuck Grall won one of the very first IMCA modified “specials” in northeast Wisconsin when 141 Speedway was still a paved, quarter-mile bullring.
It was the first time hotshoes from Iowa came up to Wisconsin to race.
In episode 5, Chuck breaks down that wild night. Enjoy!
