ASA Midwest Tour Comes to MIS This Friday by John Wells One of the most-anticipated events of the 2007 racing season comes to Madison International Speedway this Friday night when the ASA Midwest Tour comes to Wisconsin's Fastest Half-Mile. It will be a full day of racing and fun at MIS with practice sessions beginning at 1:00 PM. Come see the best super late model drivers in the Midwest due battle in a 100 lap feature. It's going to be a tough feature field to make as the list of drivers coming looks like a “Who's Who” of short track racing. See NASCAR stars Kyle Busch, Johnny Sauter, Tim Sauter, and Ron Hornaday along with local legends Rich Bickle Jr., a two-time track champion, and Dick Trickle, the winningest driver ever at Madison with 72 feature wins to his credit. Former NASCAR Southeast champion JR Norris of Hueytown, Alabama, will be making his first appearance at MIS. However the list of talented drivers does not end there.

Just count up the number of track championships amongst our group and you'll be amazed,” commented Steve Einhaus of the ASA Midwest Tour.
