Teske Triumphs in SportMod Thriller at Shawano Opener

By Dave Buss SHAWANO, Wis. (May 3, 2025) — The Karl Chevrolet IMCA Northern SportMods kicked off feature action with one of the night’s most intense races at Shawano Speedway, where a steady Friday night rain had soaked the infield and left a heavy layer of clay on the legendary half-mile.
