SHAWANO, Wis. (June 9) – Marcus Yarie and Kyle Raddant made return trips to the winner’s circle at Shawano Speedway following IMCA Modified and Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod main events, respectively.
Chucky Forstner and Jerry Muenster battled for the lead on the opening lap of the Modified main.  Forstner held the lead until lap 10 when rookie Brekken Kleinschmidt took to the outside of the track and grabbed the front spot.
Yarie followed Kleinschmidt around Forstner into second, then powered his way past Klein­schmidt for the lead on the following lap.  Wyatt Block soon passed Kleinschmidt to grab se­cond.  In the end it was Yarie for the win, chased by Block, Kleinschmidt, Lance Arneson, and Jerry Wilinski. 
Kaden Besaw led the opening lap of the Northern SportMod feature before giving way to Rad­dant, who then took to the high line of the track and looked to ride off into the sunset.
Behind Raddant, Bryce Clements, Cole Magnin and Lucas Lamberies jockeyed for posi­tion.  Magnin’s night ended though after getting into the outside wall.  Lamberies raced to second but was never able to offer a serious challenge for the lead; 17th starting Jason Jach finished third, Kevin Bethke fourth and Jordan Bartz fifth.
Travis Van Straten scored his second straight and third overall IMCA Sunoco Stock Car win.

Not a drop in the bucket – Shawano’s Racing for a Reason raises another $25K in childhood cancer fight

SHAWANO, Wis. (June 17, 2023) – IMCA Stock Car driver Luke Lemmens might have gone home with the big check, but the big winners at Shawano Speedway’s Racing for a Reason Night were St. Vincent Hospital and the battle against childhood cancers. The 12th annual event on June 17 brought a season-best 130 cars to the Northeast Wisconsin speed plant. Parking spots were at a premium as fans packed a very full grandstand and helped raise another $25,000 for the Child Life Services department at the children’s hospital in Green Bay. Most of $23,000 was raised selling bucket drop tickets for drawings for contents of 173 donated baskets containing everything from a television to Packer tickets to racing T shirts and a diecast of Nick Anvelink’s first IMCA Modified, and another $2,000 through a raffle for a hunting rifle donated by a local gun shop. Since 2012, $280,000 has been raised and donated to provide different items on the wish list at St. Vincent, somewhere between 80 and 90 percent of that through bucket drops. “I get floored [Read More]

By Brandon Reichenberger SHAWANO, Wis. (July 1, 2023) – Mother Nature provided a beautiful night for racing at the legendary half mile on Tribute to Veterans night at Shawano Speedway. Tribute to Veterans is always a special night as the track honors our American heroes and 140 veterans were on hand for a special recognition and tribute at intermission organized by Mike’s Video, Trev’s Trailers and B&H Racing. Trent Nolan, Jeffery Teske and Jordan Bartz all left with bragging rights and a special Veterans Night trophy, as all three recorded a clean sweep on the evening winning both their heat and feature races. Dylan Sexton and Shawn Wagner led the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car field to green flag for a 20-lap feature. Wagner led early but had plenty of company from Dylan Stedje and Nolan, both of whom drove past on lap two. Nolan wasted no time putting distance between himself and the field following a lap nine restart. The beneficiary of the yellow was Kyle Frederick as he went three-wide from fourth to second.
