KAUKAUNA, WI -- Lowell Bennett of Neenah will be the defending champion when
the 34th annual Red, White & Blue State Championship for late model stock
cars kicks off Saturday night, June 11 at Wisconsin International Raceway in
Kaukauna at 7 p.m.
Practice on the half-mile paved oval begins at 3 p.m. with qualifying at 5

Bennett will face a strong local field of drivers along with the traveling
teams of the Midwest AllStar Racing Series (MARS) where Steve Carlson of West
Salem is the current point leader after winning the series opener at I-70
Speedway in Odessa, MO. The second race of the MARS Series at I-94

Cars will round out a full time of racing on the D-shaped half-mile paved
track and inner quarter-mile courses.
Twenty-two cars are slated to start the twin 50-lap MARS late model feature
races. Drivers can earn feature starting points by being among the 14
top qualifiers, top two in series points not in by qualifying or finishing in
the top three of two 15-lap last chance races. The Mid-American Stock
Car feature race is slated for 30 laps while the Limited Late Model main event
is 25 laps.
The second and third legs of the Red, White & Blue Series are Saturday
