Schedule Update Due to last Friday night's rainout, the following schedule adjustments will be made at Madison International Speedway. Friday, September 2 The Midwest All Star Racing Series (MARS) will be at MIS for their second appearance of the 2005 season. Also taking to Wisconsin's Fastest Half-Mile will be the third leg of the Mid American Super Truck Triple Crown Series. This event will also count for points in the Rockweiler Insulation Midwest Truck Series. It will, however, not be a double points night for MIS points. Coyle Carpet of Madison will be sponsoring the evening's racing program. Highlighting the evening will be the Coyle Carpet 100 lap event for the MARS cars. Friday, September 9 Madison International Speedway is proud to present our second annual "Tribute to America Night." The Ford Dealers will be bringing you the first ever visit by the USAR Hooters Pro Cup Northern Series and the running of the Miller Lite 250. In addition to the Hooters Pro Cup Series, the Sportsman cars will also be in action. All Bryden Motors Area Sportsman cars will be racing for points as this will be their final points race of the 2005 season. This race is also open for Sportsman cars from other tracks (please note previous posting regarding rules.) MIS legal cars will receive points based on their finish in relation to other MIS legal cars. This will not be a double points night for the MIS cars. Tribute to America Night will include special activities throughout the day and night and will be topped off with a spectacular fireworks show. All military personnel, fire fighters, police officers, and emergency medical technicians in uniform will be admitted free. Advance tickets are $18.00...$20.00 day of show. We are offering a two ticket package for $28.00 (adults ticket) and that will get you into the September 2nd & September 9th events. Friday, September 16 Due to the rainout on 8/26, this raindate now becomes the "First Supply Twin 75s" for the Weaver Auto Parts ASA Late Models and Bryden Motors Super Late Models. A seventy-five lap feature will be held for each division with this being the final points night of the season for both divisions. This will not be a double points night. There will be qualifying in addition to heat races and semi-features, if necessary. This will also be the third round of the Wayne's Custom DIECAST Dash Series for the ASA Late Models. Regular admission prices apply for this event. One would have to go all the way back to May 13 for our last rain out after we lost the opener due to the snow and cold. The group from First Supply looked like they had a great time and we hope they will be back for the First Supply Twin 75 Night on September 16. A special thanks to Mike Miller and the group from First Supply. Tribute to America Night Will Be Action Packed Mark your calendars and tell your friends about Friday night, September 9 when the USAR Hooters Pro Cup Northern Series makes their first-ever visit to Madison International Speedway for the running of the Miller Lite 250. "This is going to be an awesome event. The Hooters Pro Cup Series features some of the top drivers in the country. They are very excited about coming to Madison and we are just as excited to have them here," stated promoter Steve Einhaus. He also added, "The fans are in for a treat as there will be live pit stops. We will be moving the pit wall out to its orginal location and all race teams will be pitting in the infield. It will be a fantastic night of racing." Also on the racing program will be an Area Sportsman Open. Sportsman cars from MIS, Rockford, LaCrosse, Jefferson, and other tracks will be competing on Wisconsin's Fastest Half-Mile. But this night is far from just racing. Madison International Speedway will be recognizing all military personnel, police officers, fire fighters, and emergency medical technicians. Any of the aforementioned personnel in uniform will be admitted free. A Black Hawk helicopter will also be landing in the infield and children will have an opportunity to experience a climbing wall. To top things off a spectacular fireworks show will also be taking place. "This is truly an event for the entire family. We think the racing is going to be great, but we also want to take time to recognize those who serve our country both overseas and at home," said Steve Einhaus.
