Oregon, WI – The Appalachian Sucker Punch ASA STARS National Tour will make their swing through Wisconsin with the El Bandido Yankee Tequila Father’s Day Double Header Weekend this Friday at Madison International Speedway in Oregon, Wisconsin, and Slinger Speedway in Slinger, Wisconsin on Sunday.
Many ASA Midwest Tour competitors have registered to be a part of this super late model showcase that features a 250-lap event on Friday at MIS and a 300-lap event on Sunday at Slinger Speedway.
2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and five-time Midwest Tour champion Ty Majeski will be one of the top super late model drivers in the country competing on both nights. He won the STARS National Tour event at Madison last year and is the series inaugural champion.
Luke Fenhaus, fresh off his first pole and third-place finish in last Saturday’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Michigan International Speedway, hopes to pick up a couple of big victories this weekend. The former Slinger Nationals champion will be one to watch at both tracks.
Two-time and defending ASA Midwest Tour champion Gabe Sommers had a strong run at Madison last month in the Joe Shear Classic with a second-place finish.
Derek Kraus is the youngest ASA Midwest Tour winner when he won back at Dells Raceway Park in 2016. He is the most recent winner in the STARS National Tour and hopes to break through with victories this weekend.
2024 Midwest Tour Rookie of the Year Ty Fredrickson will be coming into the weekend fresh off an Alive for Five victory at Dells Raceway Park. He could be a surprise this weekend against the super late model veterans.
Justin Mondeik returns to MIS after a strong run in the Joe Shear Classic. He finished third in the 200-lap event after starting 20th. He is coming off a busy Memorial Day weekend where he competed at four different tracks in four straight days with two feature victories.
Minnesota’s Ridge Oien has also registered to compete at both events this weekend. He recently finished 15th at the last Midwest Tour event at Jefferson Speedway.
On Friday night, rookie star Penn Sauter, son of former Craftsman Truck Series champion Johnny Sauter, and two-time Joe Shear Classic winner Andrew Morrissey will be competing in the 250-lap event at Madison.
Fresh off his third-place finish in the ASAMT event at Jefferson and recent feature win at Norway Speedway, Levon Van Der Geest will contest for the checkered flag at Slinger Speedway on Sunday night.
