events will include several support divisions and will feature the NASCAR
Autozone Tour cars. The tour cars will compete in their final event of
the 2005 season, a 200 lap main event. On Sunday Oct. 9, the
schedule will include a 100 lap main event for the Wisconsin Late Models, in
addition to several support divisions. The Thursday Oct. 6 events will
remain the same, with the LaCrosse Sportsman and ¼ mile divisions.
"We knew it was time for a change" stated speedway Promotions
Director Dave Noelke. With all the popular tours that run in the
Midwest, we wanted to give the fans a "new" Oktoberfest Race Weekend
that would include them. It should be a very exciting weekend of
racing...for both the fans and competitors" Noelke added.
Fifteen different classes are slated to compete over the four day event.
Speedway Officials and Tour Directors still working out the final
details. "We are fired up about this new format and wanted to get
this great news out as soon as possible" added Noelke.
