The 2021 racing season continued on Saturday night at the Jamestown Speedway with a very special event. The Jamestown Speedway hosted the 3rd Annual Jeff Carpenter Memorial Race for the Wissota Midwest Modifieds and Wissota Street Stocks and it was also Ladies Night and Back to School Night at the Speedway. There were a total of 41 Wissota Midwest Modifieds in attendance and we have to thank Tony Smith, Randy Klein, the Carpenter Family, friends, supporters, devoted sponsors, and more for helping to host the Carpenter Memorial on Saturday and raise over $10,000 for the purse! The racing action was hot and heavy throughout the night and the track was in beautiful condition. We also have to send out a huge thanks to RE/MAX Now and Mix 93.3FM for sponsoring the racing action and providing numerous prizes to our lady and junior race fans.
The weather was beautiful on Saturday and we finally received some rain on Friday night to help out the track. The racing action was great as the track had moisture in it, multiple grooves for racing, and set up multiple two to three wide battles throughout the night. We had a total of 126 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.
