ASL 150 to be part of Tuesday Night Shootout at Wis, International Aug. 2
KAUKAUNA, WI -- An American Stockcar League 150 will be the featured event for the Tuesday Night Shootout at Wisconsin International Raceway in Kaukauna, WI Tuesday night, Aug. 2 at 7:30 p.m. The American StockCar League (ASL) was formed by former Amercian Speed Association (ASA) National Tour teams and Mid-American Stock Car, Inc. at a Feb. 5 meeting. The Kaukauna race is one of 71 racing events that Mid-American Stock Car, Inc. will be involved with in 2005. The first Tuesday night in August has been a traditonal race date in the Fox River Valley with the ARTGO Series and later NASCAR Elite Division. The date became available in 2005 when the former promoter of the race, Game Day, withdrew. "We're happy to be able to present a race of this type on a tradional date at our track," said WIR owner Roger Van Daalwyk.
The actual promoter of the race will be Mid-American Stock Car, inc. Qualifying on the half-mile paved oval is tentatively set for 5:30 p.m. Other events planned include the return of the "Royal Rumble: Mid-American Stock Car vs, Mid-Am Super Truck 30-lap feature which had been run along with several ARTGO events. Also on the agenda will be a 25-lap ASL last chance race, possible late model shootout and heat races. "This has all come together very quickly and we are rapidly getting the evening's events together. We will have discounted advance tickets and the entire event will be family friendly," said Mid-American Stock Car, Inc and ASL president Gary Vercauteren of Baileys Harbor, WI. There will be a practice and press conference Monday, Aug. 1 from 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Kaukauna track.
