It's time for the third annual MIS Fall Classic this Friday and Saturday at Madison International Speedway.

Seven Divisions on Track for Friday Night

The pit gates will open at Noon on Friday with practice starting at 2:00 PM. We will be rotating divisions all afternoon long before starting qualifying at 5:00 PM.

Late Models, Area Sportsman, Hobby / Pure Stocks, Bandits, Legends, International Four Cylinders, and Short Trackers will all be in action. We are going to try to group divisions together in the pits if possible. I would recommend arriving early since the pits will be crowded.

Qualifying and qualifying races will take on a new look in 2009. All cars will compete in a dash or qualifying race this year.

In all divisions except the Late Models the fastest eight cars will compete in an eight lap "Dash" with the finishing positions used for determining the starting lineup in the feature.

Odd and even qualifiers will be held for the remaining cars with their finishing positions also playing an important part in determining the feature lineup.

JEFFERSON, WI (Saturday, September 19, 2009) Ross Kenseth of Spring Valley, IL continued his string of success in the Big 8 Series by claiming the overall title for the 29th annual Wisconsin State Championships presented by Miller Brewing Co. Kenseth combined finishes of third and second in the twin 65 lap features to claim his crown.

Jefferson’s Kyle Jarlsberg led flag to flag to capture the first 65 lap Late Model main event. Jarlsberg grabbed the lead from pole sitter Scott Broughton as they crossed the stripe to complete the first lap. James Swan pulled into second with Doug Hahn riding in fourth. The leaders ran nose to tail until caution slowed the field on lap 18. As the green returned, Jarlsberg slipped away from the pack slightly as Hahn went to work on Swan for third. Hahn took the spot on lap 37 while Jarlsberg increased his advantage. Caution erased that lead on lap 38 as Kenseth made his way into the top five. Jarlsberg moved back out to a healthy lead once again as racing resumed and he charged to the checkers for the win. Broughton claimed second followed by Kenseth, Hahn and Jeremy Miller.

(Francis Creek, WI - September 19, 2009) - Enduro veteran Dave Beyer led nearly every lap, dominating the fifth and final round of the Tisler Salvage Enduro Series Saturday night at the 141 Speedway in Francis Creek.

Starting up front, Beyer established the lead at the drop of the green of the 300 lap affair, putting nearly the entire field at least a lap down half-way through the event’s first 150 lap segment.

Only Greg Banker was able to stay on the lead lap as the field hit the mandatory midway break. Beyer had passed Banker to put him a lap down, but in the final five laps of the segment, Banker worked lapped traffic to get back around the leader.

The second segment began with Beyer out front and Banker just less than half a lap behind. The duo ran that way until the 235th lap when Banker headed to the pits. That left Beyer a full two laps ahead of the next cars in the running order as he cruised away to his first series win of the year.

With Beyer in control, emphasis shifted to the series championship which wasn’t decided until the final corner of the final lap.

JEFFERSON, WI (Saturday, September 19, 2009) - Ross Kenseth's season in the BRP Big 8 Series presented by Gandrud Chevrolet continues to shine as he won the 2009 Wisconsin State Championship presented by Miller Brewing Company at Jefferson Speedway in Jefferson, WI. Kyle Jarlsberg and Jason Erickson each claimed feature wins in the Twin 65-lap feature events that highlighted the two days of racing at Wisconsin's Action Track.

"The car was awesome, we came from ninth both times to finish third and finish second," an excited Kenseth said in victory lane. "I have to thank these guys from Pathfinder Chassis, this thing was really really good. I could go high or low on anybody."

Jarlsberg took the lead as the green flag flew over polesitter Scott Broughton. He would put some distance between himself and Broughton and would not be challenged throughout the 65-lap event.

(Luxemburg, WI) Sept. 19- IMCA modified track champion Brian Mullen of Seymour took the lead at the drop of the green and led every lap en route to capturing the caution free, 30 lap IMCA modified feature to cap off day two of the Two Day Fall Classic presented by Tisler Salvage at Luxemburg Speedway Saturday night.

Mullen also won his feature Friday night, giving him a double for the weekend.

A total of 214 drivers representing seven different classes took part in the two day race.

Luxemburg’s Pat Davister snuck past Kewaunee’s Brian Bruechert on the final circuit to win the 25 lap stock car feature.

Shawano’s Tracy Wassenberg fought off a late race surge from Oconto’s Travis Cain to capture the sportmod feature. Cain settled for second, followed by Jason Guyette, Greg Wichman and Johnny Whitman.

Ed Anschutz of Kewaunee led every lap and survived six caution periods to win the 23 lap street stock feature. The victory was Anschutz’s second of the weekend, as he won Friday night as well.
