Week of October 23, 2006
Here's the latest news from Madison International Speedway.
MIS Announces Weekly Divisions for 2007
Three weekly divisions will be featured in 2007 at Madison International
Speedway when the season opens next April. General Manager Dave Grueneberg
announced today that the Madison Late Models, Limited Late Models, and Bandits
will comprise the three divisions that will be on the schedule each week. The
Madison Late Models begin their fourth season at MIS while the Bandits and
Limited Late Models are back for their second season. “We feel that these
will be three very competitive divisions. We wanted to get the limited late
models back as a weekly division after running a limited slate in 2006,”
said Grueneberg.
Grueneberg added that besides the three weekly divisions, a fourth division
will be featured each night as well. “This division will vary from week to
week. Fans will have an opportunity to see a wide variety of different
divisions over the course of the year,” noted Grueneberg. These include Area
Sportsman, Hobby Stocks, Super Trucks, Super Stocks, Ford Focus Midgets,
Legends, Bandoleros, and others. “The fans are going to be the real winners
at MIS. With three solid weekly divisions and a fourth division joining
the program each week, fans will definitely get their money’s worth,”
commented Grueneberg.
At this point the schedule for the 2007 season is still being finalized, but
Grueneberg was quick to point out that fans would be seeing more super late
model racing in 2007. “We are planning to have five or six super late model
events in 2007. This is what the fans and drivers want to see us do more of
and we’re going to make it happen.”
In a related matter Grueneberg announced that Ken Lund will be the technical
director at MIS in 2007. “We are very happy to have Ken on board with us
again in 2007. We are in the process of finalizing our technical staff to
assist Ken.”
A tentative schedule for the 2007 racing season will be released shortly. Fans

The Chaplain's Corner
by Todd Christopherson
I was thinking about a question the other day and it went like this. What do
you need first? The car, the driver, the crew chief, the owner, the crew, the
sponsor (No order of importance).....? I know that there has to be the idea of
racing in several of those mentioned first. But sooner or later they ALL have
to come together. Timing is important also. I know this time of year there are
guys looking for sponsors, others looking for owners, others cars, others
drivers...... The time will go quick and they need to be together and getting
the car ready and soon racing again (seems a long ways away right now.)
In the same way I was thinking about God and how mercy, grace, faith, calling
out on God, .... all fit together. One of the guys in my Wednesday morning
men's study group said that grace has the highest priority in that list. I
asked why he thought that way. We talked a while and looked at two great
passages on salvation (Eph. 2:5-10 and Titus 3:5-8) and mercy came before
grace in but passages, but God's love for us and Jesus dying for us comes
before God giving us grace. In a couple other places we see the 'sinner"
calling out for mercy first, by faith. See in in all of those ideas God's
gives first and we just reach out for the free gifts and obey.
So as you get your racing plans together for next summer I pray that your plan
for eternal life is right and that you are right with God and obeying His
Word.
