This Friday night is the first of three Kids’ Nights at Madison International Speedway featuring free admission for all kids 11 and under. Intermission will be all about the kids with the annual $1000 coin scramble sponsored by Oregon Community Bank taking place on the frontstretch. Kids will be allowed on the track to pick up as many coins as they can handle with separate areas designated for different ages. It’s all about fun this Friday at Madison.
Five racing divisions will be in action this Friday with the NASCAR Late Models, Dave’s White Rock Sportsman, Pellitteri Waste Systems Bandits, Roto Rooter 6Shooters, and the first of three appearances by the Bandoleros featuring the fastest kids on wheels.
John Baumeister Jr. and Rusty Hansen have taken home checkered flags in the first two events for the NASCAR Late Models. The new division, the MISfitz, have seen two different winners in their first two races with Gary Hellenbrand and Bobby Frisch getting the wins. The Kings of the Ring, the Pellitteri Waste Systems Bandits, have seen Nick Schmidt and Ronnie Osborne garner wins in their first two outings. The Roto Rooter 6Shooters will make their second appearance of 2019 as they take to the track as a true entry level division with cars costing less than $800. See the stars of the future in the Bandolero division as kids from throughout the upper midwest come to Madison to take on the Ring of Fire.
