“This is going to be a very fun and exciting year at MIS. We will be featuring three solid weekly divisions and some of the finest special events you ll find at any track in the Midwest, ” said track promoter Dave Grueneberg.
Perhaps the most anticipated event of the season, and certainly one of the most popular, will be the First Supply All Star Challenge featuring Matt Kenseth and Tony Stewart racing Super Late Models. Kenseth, the 2003 NASCAR Nextel Cup champion, honed his skills at MIS and being a Wisconsin native is one of the most popular drivers to move up the ranks. The local drivers are sure to have their sites set on beating both of these NASCAR Nextel Cup champions so that they can have the bragging rights, and a story to tell. The fans, of course, love having Kenseth “back home” and seeing if he still knows his way around the MIS oval.
“Madison International Speedway can easily be considered one of the most historic racetracks in the country, and has had so much history and so many championship drivers come across the asphalt it is remarkable, ” Huth said. “Taking a look through the results names such as Matt Kenseth, Dick Trickle, Mark Martin, Rusty Wallace, Travis Kvapil, and Joe Shear have all raced there or won titles at MIS before progressing into the spotlight. It is no wonder that they call themselves The Track of Champions and their history is so intertwined with the ASA over the decades that it is an honor to have them part of the ASA Member Track program. ”
