Wood To Make ASL Debut At WIR Tuesday Night Shootout
KAUKAUNA, WI -- Chad Wood, one of Southern Wisconsin's top stock car drivers,
is scheduled to make his debut in the American StockCar League at the Tuesday
Night Shootout at Wisconsin International Raceway in Kaukauna Tuesday night,
Aug. 2. Qualifying is slated for 4 p.m. with racing to begin at 7:15
p.m. An autograph line is planned from 5 to 6 p.m.
A 150-lap ASL feature race will top the evening's events.
Wood has finished as high as second in the late model points at Madison
International Speedway. He was in Ted Musgrave's NASCAR car preparation
crew during 1998 in Mooresville, NC before returning to Wisconsin the
following year.
He has raced sporadically on the ASA National Tour. His best season was
2003 when he was 11th overall in the point standings with a second place
finish at Jennerstown, PA his best finish ever.
"We quit racing the ASA National Tour in 2004 when financial problems occurred
with the tour," Wood noted. The ASL was formed in February as
a replacement series for teams with the equipment for the ASA tour. The
Wood Racing Team has five ASL cars and the recent switch from Goodyear radials
to Hoosier bias ply tires has got the team interested in competing.
Wood is also running the ASA Late Model division this year and is one of the
front runners in that traveling series.
A number of other drivers are expected to make their series debut Tuesday,
Aug. 2 at WIR including Rich Loch of Franklin, WI, Matthias Czabok of Ashland,
OH, Tim Schmitt of Muskego, WI, Brent Kirschner of LaCrecent, MN, Jeff Way of
Burlington, WI, and Cale Wiltse of Pinconning, MI.
The Aug. 2 program will also include the B & B Racing Engines 44-lap Late
Model Shootout for the Wally Jors Memorial Cup and the Royal Rumble 30-lap
feature pitting the top Mid-American Stock Cars against the leading Mid-Am
Super Truck drivers.
The D-shaped half-mile raceway is located at the corner of Highway 55 and
County Trunk KK, three miles south of Kaukauna. Advance ticket
information is available by calling 920-823-2856.
