FRANCIS CREEK, Wis. (Jun. 25, 2025) — One of the biggest paydays of the summer for the Sunoco IMCA Stock Cars returns to 141 Speedway as the 8th Annual King of the Creek presented by Appleton Camping Center roars into Francis Creek on July 15 and 16.
Just like the Clash at the Creek held in June, a revamped format returns for this year’s King of the Creek, headlined by a $10,000-to-win finale on Wednesday night, which also serves as a B&B Racing Chassis All-Star Stock Car Invitational qualifier. The event will award points toward Speedway Motors IMCA Weekly Racing National, EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region, and Wisconsin State standings.
Stock Car drivers will qualify through a full Tuesday night program featuring heat races and split qualifying features, each limited to 24 starters. Heat race lineups will be set by draw, and the top five finishers from each qualifier will lock into Wednesday’s main event. Drivers who don’t make the show on the final night will still have a chance to cash in with Tuesday’s 24-car Non-Qualifier feature, which pays $1,000 to win.
Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds join Tuesday’s card with a $750-to-win feature, while Karl Chevrolet IMCA Northern SportMods are in action on Wednesday racing for a $500 top prize.
Open practice kicks off the event on Monday, July 14, with hot laps from 7–10 p.m. Grandstand admission is free for practice night, with pit passes available for $20.
On Tuesday, July 15, gates open at 3 with racing at 6:30. Adult admission is $22, students and seniors are $20, and kids 10 and under are free. Pit passes are $35. The same gate times and prices apply on Wednesday.
Entry for IMCA Stock Cars is $100 for pre-entry, payable through MyRacePass, and $150 on the day of. Registration and full driver information are available at www.141-speedway.com.
Later this summer, 141 Speedway will again take center stage with the Captain of the Creek presented by East Central Coin for the Northern SportMods, August 12–13, with another $10,000 winner’s prize on the line.
