Tomah, WI (9/27/2014)- Aside from starting his own team and even with a late start to the 2014 Super Late Model racing season, Jim Sauter, Jr. of Tomah, WI is ready and set to make a go at it for the 45th annual running of Oktoberfest at LaCrosse Fairgrounds Speedway at the beginning of October.
“We had some really great runs there in the past and I can’t be more proud of my team after such a late start to this season”, noted the former Marshfield Motor Speedway and Golden Sands Speedway track champion.
“We started a new team this season and we built our Howe chassis from the ground up. It took time, but it’s right; just needs some tweaking and hopefully we’ll be in good shape. This race is always a great time and I’m looking forward to my crew, family and friends to spend some well deserved time together”, he noted.
The most recent Sauter to win at one of the biggest racing events of the year in the Midwest was Jim’s nephew Travis, who went to victory lane in 2012. The following year was a hard fought duel between his brother Johnny and Travis, which ended with contact during hard racing.
The Sauter family win just wasn’t meant to be.
However, if the victory that Jim Jr. is hoping for doesn’t happen in this famed showdown, he’d be happy with an uneventful day and if all goes well, bring his car home in one piece with a top ten finish for all of his supporters and sponsors, which include Don’s Auto Truck Center, Davis Auto Sales, Sauter Floor Covering, Gawronski Signs, Dean’s Satellite and Security, Global Cleaning Service, Shawn Rentmeester Trucking, Sheer Bliss Indoor Beach, Next Generation Tattoo, Wounded Warrior Project, Highline Motorsports and Tyler Jett Motorsports Marketing.
Now focused on Oktoberfest, which features four straight days of racing from October 2-5, Sauter is ready to do what he does best- work on and race in automobiles.
