More than two dozen employees with the show, along with nearly 200 volunteers associated with the home rebuilding project will be in attendance at the special event, which will be highlighted by fan and driver appreciation night with free beer and a corn roast following the races. The team from California has been in the area for two weeks, prepping for this latest show.

The Makeover team is in the area to build a home in 105 hours at a location which isn’t too far away from the race track. The exact location will be announced on Saturday, August 14. “We’re still looking for volunteers for this project, but it’s going to be huge,” said Rob Larsen from Northern Concrete, one of the businesses donating time for this project. “We’ll begin pouring the foundation at 2 a.m. on Sunday August 15. We can’t say exactly where it’s being built only that it’s in northeast Wisconsin.”

Czarneski will sport the sponsors Lexington Homes and Northern Concrete on his IMCA modified, and Kaminski will do the same on his IMCA hobby stock. “We were going to race down in Iowa but we’ve decided to support 141 because it’s close to home,” said Czarneski, known as “CZ” in the racing circles. “We’re donating the ad space on our cars because they’ve stepped to the plate for this project, and it’s great. We love what the Conard’s have done in terms of improvements to the facilities. They work on that place seven days a week. The track is now smooth and car counts keep coming up each week.”

Nearby Luxemburg Speedway is off on August 13th and many drivers who have yet to give the new clay at 141 Speedway a try are expected to compete on August 13th.

IMCA modifieds, stock cars, northern sportmods, hobby stocks and sport fours will compete beginning at 7 p.m.

The class “too tough to tame” in northeast Wisconsin will be the headlining act on Wisconsin’s newest, third-mile, clay oval. The Wednesday race will replace the Saturday August 7 date which was on 141 Speedway’s original schedule. After much debate and consideration, that date has been cancelled. “We’re doing this out of respect for Tony Bouche and his family for the Nathan Bouche Memorial,” said track promoter Bruce Conard. “Tony’s been a big supporter of 141 Speedway. The stock cars have provided some of the best racing at our track all year. This is just one way to reward them. We hope everyone comes out and supports the show on August 4.”

20 cars will start the 25 lap feature, which will pay out track, state, regional and national points. The big money is expected to draw some of the top stock car drivers across the region. IMCA northern sportmods, grand national sportsman, street stocks and sport fours will also compete. The IMCA classes will be paid state, regional and national points. A draw/redraw format will be employed for all divisions that night.

Webmaster Chewy of Tonet has sponsored a $100 long haul award to the driver in any division who makes the furthest tow for the event.

Pit pass prices for this event will be $20.00 for members, $25.00 for non-members.

(Francis Creek, WI) July 15 — 141 Speedway in Francis Creek has announced that the Wisconsin Dirt Late Model Association late models (WDLMA) will make an appearance at the high-banked third mile, clay oval on Wednesday night, July 28.

The show is a raindate for the show scheduled for July 14 that was washed out.

The IMCA hobby stocks scheduled appearance for the night has been cancelled.

It will be the second appearance of the season for the WDLMA late models at Wisconsin’s newest dirt track, following the largest crowd of the year June 16 when Waukesha’s Rick Scheffler bested the
field of 28 late models. “We thought for our first appearance the staff there treated us great and the facilities are top notch,” said WDLMA president Bill Behling. “And when we called everyone about the
raindate, most everyone was for it. It should work out well for both parties.”

The night will be highlighted by a 25 lap feature, which pays $1,200 to win. In addition, a special “Civil War” 10 lap grudge race will take place, featuring the racing family Scheffler’s versus the Anvelink’s.

The Scheffler brothers Russ and Rick will race their WDLMA cars against the father-son team of Terry and Nick Anvelink. The special grudge race is sponsored by Behling Circle Track Equipment of Butler and B & B Race Engines of Appleton.

Not to be outdone are the track’s weekly classes, which will be IMCA modifieds, northern sportmods, stock cars and sport fours which will compete in a full program. The pit area opens at 4 p.m. The spectator gates open at 5 p.m. The first green flag flies at 7 p.m.
