FRANCIS CREEK, Wis. (July 2, 2026) — One of the richest Sunoco IMCA Stock Car events of the summer returns to 141 Speedway on Friday and Saturday, July 17-18, as the eighth annual Northern Concrete Construction King of the Creek takes center stage.

The successful format introduced in 2025 returns, highlighted by Saturday night’s $10,000-to-win Sunoco IMCA Stock Car championship feature. The winner will also earn a guaranteed starting position in the 2026 B&B Racing Chassis All-Star Stock Car Invitational, held during the Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s.

Speedway Motors IMCA Weekly Racing National, EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region, and Wisconsin State will be awarded to Stock Car competitors.

The opening night on Friday features heat races followed by split qualifying features, each limited to 24 starters. Heat race lineups will be determined by draw, with the top five finishers from each qualifier advancing directly to Saturday night’s championship feature.

Drivers who do not transfer into Saturday’s main event will still have an opportunity to cash in during Friday’s 24-car Non-Qualifier feature, which pays $1,000 to win.

The Stock Car entry fee is $200 through July 16 when completed through MyRacePass. Entries received after July 16 will be charged $250.

Karl Kustoms IMCA Modifieds, Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern SportMods, and Mach-1 IMCA Sport Compacts will also be in action throughout the weekend.

Modifieds will race for $1,000 to win each night, with feature winners earning eligibility to try and qualify for the 2026 Fast Shafts All-Star Modified Invitational, held during the Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s. Speedway Motors IMCA Weekly Racing National, Razor Chassis North Central Region, and Wisconsin State will be awarded in the division.

SportMods will also race for $1,000 to win each night, while Mach-1 IMCA Sport Compacts round out the racing card. Both divisions will compete for Speedway Motors IMCA Weekly Racing National, and Wisconsin State points.

The weekend begins with an open practice on Thursday, July 16. Grandstand admission is free, with hot laps scheduled from 7-10 p.m. Pit passes for practice are $20.

Pit gates and grandstands open at 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday, with hot laps and racing scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. each evening. Pit passes are $40. Adult grandstand admission is $22, seniors ages 65 and older are $20, and children ages 10 and under are admitted free.

Camping is available throughout the weekend for $60. Reservations can be made through MyRacePass or by contacting 141 Speedway.

Later this summer, 141 Speedway will host another marquee special when the Captain of the Creek for Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern SportMods returns Aug. 14-15 with another $10,000 winner’s payday on the line.

FRANCIS CREEK, Wis. (Aug. 16, 2023) – Tyler Sobiesczyk earned $10,000 worth of redemption Wednesday night at 141 Speedway’s East Central Coin Captain of the Creek. The Shawano speedster got to the lead late in the 50-lapper, then outran fellow Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMod heavyweights Logan Anderson, Colby Fett and Cam Reimers to the career-best payday. “It doesn’t get any better than this. Everything just came together for us,” Sobiesczyk said following his eighth checkers of the season. “We’ve been having an awesome year in general but to win this crown jewel race is huge. It’s huge for me as a driver, it’s huge for our team and huge for our sponsors, especially doing it racing against so many good drivers.” He’d started second and pursued Coy Vlies early on, then lost another position when Anderson drove by and into the lead. The chase was on from that point, with Sobiesczyk catching Vlies and finally reeling in Anderson in heavy lapped traffic. “For a while I was trying to stay relevant. The middle line [Read More]

Richards sails to 141 Captain of the Creek checkers

FRANCIS CREEK, Wis. (Aug. 20) – The win was great.  His daughter’s reaction to finding the presentation check propped up against her bedroom door the next morning was even better. Kenny Richards started 13th, took the lead following back-to-back restarts just past midway and then outran a field of Karl Kustoms Northern SportMod heavy hitters in taking the $5,000 Captain of the Creek checkers Thursday at 141 Speedway. The big win came in a Jack Jones Dump Bar and Grill ride Richards hadn’t seen before qualifying started the night before. Jones and brother Jerry, the Two Old Guys Race Team, adjusted the pedals and steering wheel and Richards took it from there.  “I had my fingers crossed we would even make it in. Then I hoped for a top 10. I wanted the bottom two feet (of the track) and we hit that like 49 of the 50 laps,” he said. “I knew when we were in the top 10 that we had a shot at the top five.” Colby Fett led the first 21 [Read More]
