The name Joe Roe has become synonymous with the term “Champion” and for a good reason. After the 2002 season ended, Roe was even contemplating hanging up the helmet. As the season entered the final month, Roe found himself in a familiar position. On top of the IRA points standings with Scott Neitzel close behind. Dodge County's rain out brought the points chase down to the final race of the season and when the checkered flag fell for the final race of the season, Joe Roe once again was headed to victory lane as the IRA's Champion for the 9th time. A graduate of the mini-sprint ranks, Mike Kertsher made the move to the traveling 410 series as a teammate to Kim Mock. Although competition for the Rookie of the Year title fell by the wayside early in he season, Kertscher was not content to simply sit back and coast to the title. He qualified for all but 4 A Mains all year long (19 of 22 run), racking up nine top 10 finishes including a win at the Wilmot Speedway, earning him the title as “King of Wisconsin Sprint Car Racing”.
