Oregon, WI- Defending Bytec Cheeseland ‘Howie Lettow Classic 100’ winner Dalton Zehr is the latest of twenty-five entries for this Friday Night’s (July 25, 2025) ASA Midwest Tour event at Madison International Speedway. The 2018 Tour Champion is always strong at ‘Wisconsin’s Fastest Half Mile’ where he will seek his seventh career Tour win versus the ‘Stars and Cars’. Zehr was victorious last month when the Tour ventured to Norway Speedway in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
Fellow Tour Champions Gabe Sommers and Casey Johnson chased Zehr’s #119 across the stripe in last summer’s Howie. It is shaping up to be quite the battle as Johnson claimed honors to the Joe Shear Classic in May at MIS and Sommers is riding a three race runner-up streak at the half mile paved oval.
