The local racing season on asphalt starts this weekend at Rockford Speedway with a practice day on Saturday and racing Sunday.

This year's Spring Classic features the Big 8 Series; Mid American Stock Car Series and the American Ethanol Super Truck Series.

Should be great weather and lots of laps to start the season in a tough little quarter mile bull ring.

a lot of good racing this weekend around the state. Big 8 runs at Madison International Speedway with a great fireworks show. Dells, Lx and Jefferson have fireworks on Saturday. Rockford has ARCA Midwest Tour on Saturday including the return of Richie Bickle in the 45. Come out and see some great racing and fireworks this weekend!

Lots of great racing this weekend at local tracks around Wisconsin and the Midwest but one huge event has come together for next Tuesday. WIR is running a Big 8 Series race and ACRA Midwest Tour event. The Tour event pays $10K and is attracting some good drivers including Brickle, Ross K, Travis and Johnny Sauter to name a few. I heard ticket prices are very reasonable too!

Also heard The Howe L Memorial is moved from The Mile to MIS in August.

Yes The Howie Letttow has been moved to Madison. I am running this weekend down at Blackhawk Farms in my second race in my new Swift DB 1, Formula Ford.

Mid AM hits the dirt at Dodge County tonight. Should be a fun one.

If you have or have not ever gone to a local race I would invite you to get out to Jefferson Speedway this weekend. It is the Wisconsin State Championships and is normally a two day show. This year a third day is added, Sunday, the TUNDRA Super Late model series. It should be great racing all three days. What makes Jefferson so cool? Three and four wide coming into and out of turns 3 and 4. It is something to see.

Great events around the state today - Dells runs a great show with super lates and super trucks; Elko has Big 8 and Midwest tour event and Dodge County Fairgrounds hosts the IRA Sprints (360's and 410's) and Mid AM!

Great day to go see some local racing!
