March 4, 2005
(West Salem, WI.) The 2005 NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series season will roar

topnotch race teams and close racing. "We are anxiously awaiting the
first night of competition” stated speedway Operations Director Dave Noelke.
"With over 40 Kwik Trip late model race teams registered, the race fans
are in for a heck of a battle for the championship. Plus, the Sportsman

as good as it can get”.
The Saturday night programs will host the Kwik Trip NASCAR Late Models, Ray
Hutson Chevrolet Grand National Sportsman and United Auto Supply Thunderstox.
In addition to the three divisions, the programs will include one of the
popular Daredevil Challenge series events or the Features Sport Bar
Hornets. There are only 22 Saturday night shows scheduled for 2005.
