A rare Friday night racing program, fully IMCA sanctioned, will take place Friday, August 13 at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek.

The show has been added, in part because Luxemburg Speedway is off that night and 141 Speedway is trying to make up for several rainouts that have hit the track this year. IMCA modifieds, stock cars, northern sportmods, hobby stocks and sport fours will compete in a sanctioned program that will dole out state, regional and national points.

The draw cutoff is at 6:30 p.m. Racing gets underway at 7 p.m.

For more information, please check out the track’s website at 141speedway.com. You can also follow 141 Speedway on both Twitter and Facebook. 141 Speedway is located 20 miles south of Green Bay on County “R” in Francis Creek. For more information call 920 905 1112.

Green Bay’s Eric Van Iten would not let a broken cheekbone stop him, as he passed Dean Maurer of De Pere for the lead on lap nine and went on to capture the 20 lap IMCA modified feature at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek Wednesday.

A total of 94 cars pulled through the pit gate, including 17 IMCA modifieds, 22 stock cars, 19 northern sportmods, 18 grand national sportsman and 16 sport fours.

Van Iten started fifth on the grid and wrestled the lead away from Maurer on lap 9. Points leader Jared Siefert scratched his way through the field and challenged Maurer, but wound up third. Green Bay’s Benji LaCrosse and Randy Markwardt Jr. of Sheboygan Falls rounded out the top five.

Whitman captured an earlier makeup feature and wound up second in the second A main. Oconto’s Travis Cain took third. New Franken’s Brad Lautenbach, who returned after suffering an back injury a few weeks ago at another track, finished fourth. Oconto Fall’s Eric Arneson rounded out the top five.
