Super Stock Series will kick off 10-night schedule at Rice Lake Speedway

RICE LAKE, WI - For the third straight year, the Fastlane Motorsports Northland Super Stock Series, presented by Halvor Lines, will kick off its 10-night schedule at Rice Lake Speedway on Thursday night, June 5.

This WISSOTA-sanctioned series highlights the Super Stock division of racing, a popular one throughout the region. It brings together the best Super Stock drivers from all corners of WISSOTA in a short series where they race for large payoffs and a great point fund.

Series director Dennis McCauley has done a great job in lining up sponsors and contingencies for the drivers of this series. Drivers will race for a minimum of $1,000 to win each event, with a series point fund that pays the top 10 places at the end of the series. Those drivers who don't make the top 10 in points but have supported all races in the series will receive $600. As a result, a great field of Super Stocks is expected to attend the June 5 event at Rice Lake, with 30 to 40 Super Stock drivers not out of the question.

The two events held at Rice Lake in previous years were won by Shane Sabraski and Dexton Koch, with both going on to win national point titles in those years. Koch is also the defending series champion.

Local drivers are anxious to even the score in this event and such drivers as Curt and Alex Myers, Eric and Ryan Olson, and a host of others, have already circled this date on their racing calendars.

Also racing with the Super Stocks on June 5 will be the Midwest Modifieds in a full program of their own. The midweek race for the Midwest Modifieds and an increased purse for their division is expected to draw a good field of drivers in that class as well. The two-division program is designed to provide a quick night of racing for those who must work on Friday.

Pit gates will open at 4 p.m. on June 5, with the spectator gates open at 5 p.m. Hot laps for the Super Stocks begin at 6:30 p.m. with racing at 7 p.m. The speedway will then take Saturday night, June 7 off, with the next race set for Saturday night, June 14 when all six classes will be in attendance for the Relay at the Races night.
