FORT ATKINSON, Wis. (April 12, 2010) – A mainstay of the Mid-American Stock Car Series will lay it all on the line in 2010. Bobby Gutknecht, a 16-year veteran of the series, has decided this will be his final season – and he wants to cap it off with a championship.

WISCONSIN DELLS, Wis. (January 17, 2010) – The Mid-American Stock Car Series put the finishing touches on its 17th season Saturday at the Wintergreen Resort and Conference Center.

The evening began prior to the awards ceremony and dinner with a speech from Motorsports Hall of Famer Mel Kenyon. Kenyon spoke of his career in motorsports and his crash at Langhorne (Penn.) in 1965. He explained his recovery process and the role his faith played in bouncing back from his injuries.

FORT ATKINSON, Wis. (January 5, 2010) – Mel Kenyon, a 2003 inductee of the International Motorsports Hall of Fame and the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America, will speak before the Mid-American Stock Car Series awards banquet on Saturday, Jan. 16 at the Wintergreen Resort and Conference Center in Wisconsin Dells, Wis.

Through his 57-year career, Kenyon won seven USAC national midget championships and was runner-up in championship points eight times. He netted 111 career feature wins.

FORT ATKINSON, Wis. (December 29, 2009) – The departure of James Swan from the Mid-American Stock Car Series in 2009 left a glaring question – who would replace the four-time champion? That question was answered by a dark horse competitor who snatched the championship on the final evening of Mid-American’s 17th campaign.

The 2009 MASCS season preview left a long list of possible competitors to replace Swan. However, one competitor stealthy crept into the campaign relatively unheralded, just as his stealthy black and green Chevy Monte Carlo crept through fields all season long.

FORT ATKINSON, Wis. (December 3, 2009) – There are moments that define a driver’s season. There are moments that define how a season ends.

1. Drivers endure heat, attrition in wild Return to Rapids

FORT ATKINSON, Wis. (November 28, 2009) – The Mid-American Stock Car Series is going where no regional asphalt traveling series has ventured in almost 20 years – to the dirt. For the first time since 1992 the Wisconsin-based organization will hold events on both dirt and asphalt.

Mid-American will take a page out of its history book in 2010 and run at least one race on the clay at the Dodge County Fairgrounds in Beaver Dam, Wis., on Friday, July 2. A second appearance for Mid-American at Dodge County on September 3 is still in negotiation.

4. MASCS Point lead changes hands three times down the stretch

The 2009 season was one of the most competitive in recent Mid-American Stock Car Series history. When Bill Prietzel won at Hawkeye Downs, it seemed as though he was on his way to a fourth MASCS title. However, when his luck changed with an engine failure at Madison International Speedway, the scat for the ’09 crown was set into motion.
