1st Annual Badger State Nationals
FYE
Motorsports Introduces Badger State Nationals In September
April 14th 2008 – St. Cloud, Minnesota (Prepared by FYE Motorsports
Promotions)

For the first time in nearly
15 years, the curtain will not close on the Cedar Lake Speedway’s racing
season with their typically year-ending ‘Legendary 100 weekend’ because
a new mega-event is slated on the calendar for 2008 that will wrap up
the ’08 season in grand style at the Western Wisconsin speed plant. The
FYE Motorsports Badger State Nationals is set to take place on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, September 25th, 26th and 27th 2008 with an
inclement weather date of Sunday, September 28th if necessary.
St. Cloud, Minnesota based FYE Motorsports Promotions has leased the
Cedar Lake Speedway and will present the 1st annual Badger State
Nationals which will wrap up the 2008 racing season at Cedar Lake in a
grand fashion with an incredible $12,000 to win NASCAR/WISSOTA-type Late
Model event, in conjunction with a whopping $3,000 to win
NASCAR/WISSOTA-type Midwest Modified event, plus $500 to win Street
Stocks (Thursday night only) and two complete high paying shows for the

Minnesota Modified Nationals: Looking
Great In ’08!
April 14th 2008 – St.
Cloud, Minnesota (Prepared by FYE Motorsports Promotions)

St. Cloud, Minnesota based FYE Motorsports’ first promoted event of 2008
will be the 4th Annual Minnesota Modified Nationals, which will be on
the slate for Friday, July 4th and Saturday, July 5th with a rain date
for Sunday, July 6th at 1pm if necessary and an open practice session on
Thursday, July 3rd from 6pm to 10pm at the Viking Speedway in
Alexandria, Minnesota.
This year’s biggest paying Modified event in the entire Midwest will see
each Modified racer draw for his or her starting position on Friday
night for a scheduled set of 8 heat races. The winner of each heat race
will automatically redraw amongst themselves for the top 8 starting
spots in Friday night’s qualifying feature just as we have done in
previous years. This year, just like the 2007 event, will be the fact
that the second place finishers in each heat race will not automatically
get in the show. Instead we will use passing points to qualify the
second set of 8 drivers into the qualifying feature on Friday night. How
this will work is the driver that is highest in passing points in each
individual heat race will qualify for the main event and will redraw
amongst themselves for starting spots 9-16. Just as we have done in the
past, the finish from the qualifying feature will determine the top 8
rows for Saturday night’s main event.
