Rainout At Powercom Park
by Dennis Thompson
May 8, 2004 

Rainy weather forced the cancellation of The Golf Club at Camelot 100 Night at the Raceway at Powercom Park in Beaver Dam, WI on Saturday. Racing will resume this coming Saturday night with the Suburban Motors Harley-Davidson/Buell Modifieds, the Dodge Central Credit Union Stocks, the Gibbsville Cheese INEX Legends, the Northwoods Paper Converting Grand Nationals and the Wally’s Auto Dirt Devils set to provide the racing action. With 114 cars in the pit area the previous week for the regular season opener, the competition is expected to become even more exciting as some of the cars that were not ready for the opener are completed and make their way to the track.  Racing action starts at 7:00 p.m.

Special events on the schedule in the weeks ahead include the USMTS Modified Special on May 22 & 23. A special twilight show with racing getting under way at 4:00 p.m. is on tap for the Memorial Day Special on May 31. The program will feature the first appearance of the season for the IRA Outlaw Sprints and will also mark the debut of the Wisconsin Dirt Late Models Association at the Raceway. The World of Outlaw Sprints invade the fast 1/3 mile clay oval on Saturday night June 12 led by current point leader & 18-time WOO champion Steve Kinser. A modified Tuesday night special is on tap for June 22. Tony Stewart, 2002 NASCAR Champion and past champion of USAC midget, sprint and silver crown divisions, will be on hand to compete with the local modified stars. Stewart will be joined by NASCAR Nextel Cup Rookie sensation Kasey Kahne. Like Stewart, Kahne’s racing roots are in the open wheel ranks of midgets, sprints and silver crown cars. Kahne won the USAC National Midget Championship in 2000. Half of the general ticket proceeds will go to benefit the “Tony Stewart Foundation”.
