May 26th, 2021 – For Immediate Release Regrettably, the Wisconsin Modified Nationals fueled by Superior Fuel Co., which was scheduled for Wednesday-Friday, May 26th-28th has been cancelled due to weather. The Gondik Law Speedway, the Twin Ports of Duluth and Superior and the surrounding areas have received a large amount of rain over the past two weeks, which lead to a soft racing surface this past Friday night. That, coupled with more rain on Sunday and Monday, making it even more difficult on the facility and the below freezing temperatures in the upcoming late week’s forecast has caused track and event management to mutually agree to cancel the event. Temperatures are forecasted to be in the 40s for highs and 30s for lows both Thursday and Friday and the winds are to be blowing directly off of Lake Superior, making real feel temperatures at race time feeling like in the high teens or low 20s. To prevent anyone from traveling to Superior, the decision was made today to cancel the entire three-day event. On the bright side, the 16th annual Wehrs Machine Minnesota Modified Nationals driven by Boston Trucking, which will be held at the Ogilvie Raceway in Ogilvie, MN on Saturday and Sunday is on as scheduled with a 7pm start time both nights. Tickets are available at the track beginning at 5pm each day. For fans not able to be at the track in person, both nights will be broadcast live on PayPerView at www.WatchFYE.tv.

Event promoter Chris Stepan said 'we always hope for highs at least in the 50s and lows in the 40s for this event to take place and the forecast just doesn't show that it's going to be warm enough this coming week. That, along with mid week rain has made the decision pretty easy to cancel the weekend.' Thanks for understanding. Pat Doar Defends MTH Fall Classic presented by FYE Motorsports Title

Fourth Annual Lake Superior Border Battle Wraps Up Bahr, Nelson and Sabraski Top Border Battle Day Two Vandy Victorious on Night One of Border Battle 4th Annual Great Lake Border Battle Sees Several Changes
The first of three event changes will see the WISSOTA Late Models removed from the schedule on Friday, July 3rd and Saturday, July 4th. Event promoter Chris Stepan said ‘with Cedar Lake adding the World of Outlaws on both nights of their WoO event and with Mississippi Thunder having a pair of Dirt Kings events those nights now as well, we are going to be a good neighbor and release our Late Models so that all three events aren’t fighting over the same drivers and so that all of the events can be successful. I reached out to approximately 50 local Late Model drivers this week and it was pretty apparent that all three events were going to be targeting the same core group of drivers, so instead of each of us having a dozen cars, we decided to bow out and let the drivers go to another event if they choose.’ >>READ MORE 4th annual Great Lakes Border Battle Expands to 3-day event
