B & B Race Engines Late Model Shootout August 2 At WIR
KAUKAUNA, WI -- The B & B Race Engines Late Model Shootout has been added
to the Tuesday night, Aug. 2 racing program on the D-shaped half-mile paved
oval at Wisconsin International Raceway in Kaukauna.
The race will be 44 laps and the winner will receive a trophy honoring the
late Wally Jors. Jors ran the number 44 at Wisconsin International
Raceway in Kaukauna when the Fox River Racing Club first began running weekly
Thursday night events. An annual Wally Jors Classic was held each year
at Hales Corners Speedway from Jors' death in 1975 until the track closed
several years ago.
"We're honoring an old friend and featuring some of the finest late model
drivers from the Midwest in this event," said Mid-American Stock Car,
Inc. president Gary Vercauteren.
The top ten drivers in the 2005 Midwest AllStar Series point standings will be
invited to the B & B Racing Engines event along with former MARS, Fox
River Racing Club and Red, White & Blue Series champions. Some
of the drivers may also be from the American StockCar League (ASL). The
American StockCar League 150 will be the featured event on August 2 and some
of the ASL drivers also raceing MARS type late models throughout the nation.
The B & B Racing Engines 44-lap race will be part of the Tuesday Night
Shootout which is expected to present five racing divisions on the Kaukauna
half-mile all in one night. The top eight Mid-American Stock
Cars will square off against the top eight Mid-Am Super Trucks by point
standings in the Royal Rumble 30-lap feature. The Royal Rumble has
previously been run at Wisconsin International Raceway in 1997 and 1998
with Jeff Storm winning in a Mid-American Stock Car the first year and Danny
Heinritz winning in a Mid-Am Super Truck the second year.
Spectator gates will open at 4 p.m. with preliminary races to begin at 7:15
p.m.
One additional division is expected to be added to the program with that
announcement anticipated to be made shortly.
