WISCONSIN DELLS, Wis. (July 25, 2009) – Mother Nature tried hard to spoil another Mid-American Stock Car Series event, but the resiliency of Dells Raceway Park track officials and competitors proved to be too much. When the checkered flag flew over the 22-car starting field of MASCS competitors, Mark Pluer emerged victorious. It was Pluer’s first win in a Mid-American event in almost nine years.

FORT ATKINSON, Wis. (July 15, 2009) – Last Wednesday’s news of the Milwaukee Mile being forced to shut the door on its “All Star” Weekend was disappointing news for Mid-American Stock Car Series drivers and fans.

One week later, Madison International Speedway has swooped in and scheduled a make up race. Track officials announced today that the event will be run on Saturday, August 29, the same day Milwaukee was to host the race.

WEST ALLIS, Wis. (July 8, 2009) – The struggles of the Milwaukee Mile have been anything but pleasant news to many die-hard race fans from the Midwest. The most recent news will be heart wrenching to Mid-American Stock Car Series drivers and fans alike.

The Milwaukee Mile was forced to close its doors for the August “Wisconsin All-Stars” weekend, it was reported by Dave Kallmann of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal Wednesday. Among other events, the weekend was to host a 40-lap MASCS feature event on Saturday, August 29.

FRANCIS CREEK, Wis., (June 27, 2009) – Gregg Haese spent Saturday morning preparing for the Mid-American Stock Car Series’ running of the Vercauteren Memorial just as any racer would – soaking up the sun along the shores of Lake Michigan. The relaxing sounds of the waves coupled with Haese’s already calm demeanor made for a smooth run into victory lane and Haese’s second Vercauteren Memorial win in ten years.

NORWAY, Mich. (June 26, 2009) – No one, no way, no how. Lyle Nowak could not be denied a win in the ‘Eh’ Main at Norway Speedway on Friday night as the Mid-American Stock Car Series made its return to the 1/3-mile oval for the first time in almost 15 years. Bill Prietzel and Mike Beyer made several valiant efforts throughout the 40-lap feature event, but were unable to keep Nowak from making his first trip to victory lane in 2009.

Fort Atkinson, Wis. (June 8, 2009) – A proposition is drafted, a presentation is made, and a sponsorship is obtained. At that point, any racer can take a deep breath and give a sigh of relief. It is a load off his or her shoulders. Thanks to the sponsorship income, which will be supplemented by race day winnings during the season, racing is possible in a tough economy.

Wisconsin Dells, WI (May 30, 2009) – Brian Back went where no other Mid-American Stock Car Series competitor dared on Saturday night, the high groove at Dells Raceway Park. With 20 laps remaining in the Dells Duel Part One, Back jumped out of the freight train on the inside lane and took his machine into the high line where he stormed past the competition and into victory lane.

Plover, Wis. (May 22, 2009) – When the front row rolled trackside for the start of the Mid-American Stock Car Series’ Central Wisconsin 40 at Golden Sands Speedway, an instant favorite was identified. No one knew, however, that favorite would be starting on the inside of the front row, not the outside. Paul Neisius wrestled the lead away from former GSS super stock champion Brian Back on lap one, broke away from the field and led every lap of a green to checkered event en route to his first ever MASCS victory.
