The 2023 racing season continued on Saturday night at the Jamestown Speedway with a very special event. The Jamestown Speedway hosted the 5th Annual Jeff Carpenter Memorial Race and REBEL MW Mod Tour Race for the Wissota Midwest Modifieds and it was also JRMC Driven to Care Night at the Speedway. There were a total of 31 Wissota Midwest Modifieds in attendance and we have to thank Tony Smith, Randy Klein, Scott Bintz, the Carpenter Family, friends, supporters, devoted sponsors, and more for helping to host the Carpenter Memorial on Saturday and raise over $11,000 for the purse! The racing action was hot and heavy throughout the night.
The weather was warm and windy on Saturday. We had a total of 110 cars in the pits! We have to thank all of the drivers, fans, and track workers that came out to enjoy the action on Saturday night and honor Jeff Carpenter.
