FRANCIS CREEK, Wis. (July 28) – Shawn Kilgore, Kelsy Hayes and Greg Gretz put on a thriller of a show during the final laps of the IMCA Modified feature Saturday at 141 Speedway before Kilgore picked up the win.
 
Gretz and Hayes dueled early, swapped the lead multiple times until Gretz gained control down low. Hayes was not be deterred and brought her ‘A’ game up top, tracking down Gretz and pulling even on lap 13.
The 12th starting Kilgore worked his way through the field to join the top duo and the final five laps saw numerous three-wide battles. Hayes used the top to grab just enough of a lead for Kilgore to clear Gretz. Kilgore pulled a slide job to perfection on Hayes and grabbed the lead with Hayes pulling a slide job of her own back on Kilgore.
Gretz stayed with them as the trio went three-wide at the white flag. Kilgore proved to be just tough enough on the final lap to secure the win over Gretz and Hayes. Russ Reinwald finished fourth with Josh Lambert fifth.
One hundred and forty-two cars competed in the car fights. Other winners included Kyle Freder­ick in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars, Cody Schroeder in the Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods and Shaun Bangart in the Mach-1 Sport Compacts.

Christians cashes in at 141 Speedway

By Greg Aregoni  FRANCIS CREEK, Wis. (July 6) – Jeremy Christians told Santa Claus he would take care of his own stocking stuffer present by taking home the $1,200 IMCA Sunoco Stock Car payday on Christ­mas in July Night Saturday at 141 Speedway.  Christians played The Grinch to 38 other competitors.   Christians and Rod Snellenberger drew the front row for the feature and Christians took quick advantage of his outside starting spot and got around Snellenberger.  Snellenberger stayed with the leader but had heavy pressure from Shawn Havel, who made his way around Snellenberger and set his sights on the top prize. Christians rode around the rim of the speedway with Havel trying multiple lines throughout the event to try and make the pass.   Havel got an A for effort but could never make a good enough charge.  Christians never faulted and took home the win and $1,200 payday in front of Havel.  Snellenberger won a late-race, three car battle over Aaron Stolp and John Heinz to finish third in the green to checkered finish.

Mullen is King of the Creek at 141 Speedway

By Greg Aregoni FRANCIS CREEK, Wis. (July 17, 2025) –– Mike Mullen earned his third career Appleton Camping Center King of the Creek crown with the Sunoco IMCA Stock Cars at 141 Speedway on Thursday night. The victory was worth a cool $10,000 payday and marked his eighth EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region win of the season, three of which have come at 141. Mullen earned the pole for the feature by virtue of his preliminary win two nights prior, where he charged from 10th to first. He capitalized on strong starts throughout the main event to build an early advantage over Benji LaCrosse and company. LaCrosse gradually chipped away at that lead over the course of the first 30 laps. Mullen was dominant even as he encountered lapped traffic, but an incident with Marcus Yarie—who spun after contact with the leader—brought out a caution. On the restart, Mullen once again proved his prowess, executing restarts with the same precision his father, Brian Mullen, once taught him. LaCrosse tried a variety of lines but could never [Read More]
