for the 2006 season with Mid-American Stock Car Series and hopes to compete in
a few of the 14 scheduled Series races.

Speedway, Plover, WI. Golden Sands is also a 1/3 mile asphalt action packed
track. The Mid-American Stock Cars will mix it up with the local Super
Stocks on a Friday evening, the date being most likely early August. The

Many of the tracks Mid American Stock Cars have raced for years have returned

The prestigious Milwaukee Mile rounds out the Mid-American Stock Car
schedule. On the weekend of August 25th, 26th and 27th, the historic
Milwaukee Mile will once again present the Governor’s Cup weekend.
Mid-American will put on their best as they share the weekend with the ARCA
Re/Max Series, the ASA Late Model Series and the Wisconsin Challenge
Series. The Governor’s Cup weekend has provided many years of a
weekend loaded with big track racing action and promises no less for
2006. Mid-American is proud to be a part of this weekend.

three entrée buffet dinner will be followed by distribution of trophies,
awards and the point fund. New Series owners, Doug and Julie Strasburg
hope to bring the end of MARS and Trucks era to closure on a high note with
