DAYTONA BEACH, FL (Wednesday, May 2, 2012) – The off-season has been busy for Wayne Brevik. Not only does he spend his winter officiating college and high school basketball, but he also has been planning the 2012 season at Marshfield Motor Speedway, an ASA Member Track in Marshfield, WI. If he wasn’t busy enough, he decided to add more responsibility at the half-mile asphalt oval.

“This is going to be my fourth year as the Promoter/General Manager, and this year I decided to take over the full operations of Marshfield Motor Speedway,” Brevik announced. “It has been an overwhelming job, but with the help of Dennis Huth and his staff at ASA Racing, everything is going well with this transition. The big thing I realized is that there is more behind the scenes than what I realized in operating a track and Dennis has been a great mentor.”

Brevik is not doing this alone. “My good friends Al and Jane Schiferl have been great partners to me,” Brevik said. “Al is my partner with our Redline Motorsports team and Jane is my right hand help at the track. Jane does a great job of keeping me in line. Whenever we have a disagreement, she usually wins!”

Marshfield Motor Speedway will be entering their second season as an ASA Member Track. It’s a partnership that Brevik is thankful to have, especially with the off-season transition. “First of all, I will tell you that I still have a lot to learn. Being with the ASA Member Track program has helped me immensely as a track operator,” Brevik explained. “I can’t imagine a track, anywhere, going on without the help they have provided to me. Whenever I make a call to anyone at ASA, they are quick to respond with an answer to any question I have had. The insurance part is a huge deal and I know our drivers appreciate this coverage.”

Brevik is excited about the upcoming season especially with their super late model division. They held an open practice session this past weekend. “We had a great number of super late models practicing this past weekend,” Brevik said. “In fact, some longtime fans came out to watch practice and commented that they haven’t seen this many cars at the first practice of the year at the track. So that gives us a good feeling.”

The American Speed Association® Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment and GrandStay Hospitality heads back to Raceway Park in Shakopee, MN this Sunday, August 21st for the Shakopee 125.

Last year’s race was one of the most exciting on the schedule. Nathan Haseleu passed and held off Steve Carlson with about four laps to go and went on for his first and only win in 2010. Thor Anderson finished third, which would be like a victory for the season he has endured so far in 2011.

In 1954, Raceway Park opened as a dirt track. It is a 1/4 mile flat oval located in Shakopee, MN known for its highly competitive Sunday night racing.

This Sunday qualifying begins at 4:00PM followed by the autograph session at 5:10PM, and racing at 6:00PM.

Not only will the ASAMT be racing this weekend, but the ASA Midwest SCAG Truck Tour will also be taking to the track at Marshfield Motor Speedway on Saturday night for the Marshfield 40 in Marshfield, WI.

Last year, Jerry and John Wood took the two top spots followed by Rick Corso. Austin Luedtke has only a 4 point lead over Jerry Wood with this being the last of two events for the 2011 championship.

The ASAMT SCAG Truck Tour is expecting one of its highest truck counts of the season including drivers such as the Wood Brothers, John and Jerry; youngster, Ty Majeski; Jason Schuler and many, many others.

Make sure to pack your bags and grab your families and head out to Marshfield Motor Speedway on Saturday night and over to Shakopkee on Sunday night for one great weekend of racing.

On Saturday night, the American Speed Association® Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment and GrandStay Hospitality got the Fourth of July weekend off to an explosive start at Marshfield Motor Speedway in Marshfield, WI.

For the second time this year, the feature event has gone caution free and a local driver has taken the victory away from the ASA Midwest Tour stars. Jason Weinkauf of Merrill, WI led from lap 14 to the checkered flag. Weinkauf qualified ninth and started on the inside of the second row.

A 26-car field filled with ASA Midwest Tour stars and local favorites took to the track for the 100 lap feature event. Carver, Minnesota’s Jacob Goede set the stage for the night with the ECHO Quick Cut Fast Qualifier award. Goede topped the chart with an 18.212. Rookie contender, Skylar Holzhausen followed with an 18.235. Eugene Gregorich Jr. was the final driver to make it into the feature event on time with an 18.468.

The 2011 season has been one of the most competitive to date. In all six events so far this season, the ASAMT has seen top contenders fail to qualify and have to run the last chance race or take uncharacteristic provisionals. On Saturday night, ASA Midwest Touring Stars, Nathan Haseleu, Ross Kenseth, Michael Bilderback and Jeff Storm all had to run in the last chance race.

Haseleu and Kenseth earned the two first transfer spots. Kris Kelly of Norway, MI, local driver, Ronnie Rihn, and West Allis, Wisconsin driver, Gary LaMonte were the final three to race in. Jeff Storm and Michael Bilderback each took an ASAMT provisional and Dean LaPointe received the Marshfield provisional.

Storm made the most of his provisional starting spot. While it may not be his best finish, Storm did receive the Hedman Husler Hedders Hard Charger award, passing the most cars (eight) during the 100 lap event. Bilderback finished 21st and LaPointe finished 22nd.

Merrill, Wisconsin’s, Jason Weinkauf, won the the American Speed Association® Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment and GrandStay Hospitality Marshfield 100 tonight at Marshfield Motor Speedway.

The caution-free event was the second green to checkered race in the ASA Midwest Tour in 2011. Local driver, Matt Tift and his mentor, Tim Schendel, led the field to the green. Jason Weinkauf took the lead on lap 14 over Tim Schendel and kept his margin over second place by over two car lengths the entire night. Minnesota driver, Nick Murgic powered his way into second and began closing in on Weinkauf.

Andrew Morrissey and Jacob Goede battled it out lap after lap for the fifth spot as Jacob Goede was right on their bumper. As the field began to settle in, fifth through tenth were nose to tail. Murgic continued to close in on Weinkauf as the two closed in on lapped traffic.

Tim Schendel found himself all alone in the fourth spot without any pressure. At the halfway point Weinkauf held his lead over Murgic, Tift, Schendel and Morrissey.

Skylar Holzhausen had a good run moving around Jonathan Eilen for the ninth spot halfway through the race. He quickly closed in on Jacob Goede as fourth threw tenth continued run nose to tail.

With twenty laps to go, Murgic closed in within two car lengths but lapped traffic kept him at bay.

Jason Weinkauf was the second local driver in a row in the ASA Midwest Tour to take home a victory. Murgic, Schendel, Morrissey, and Sauter rounded out the top five.

This Saturday, July 2nd, the American Speed Association® Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment and GrandStay Hospitality will kick off the 4th of July weekend with a bang at Marshfield Motor Speedway (MMS) for the Marshfield 100.

Wayne Brevik, owner of MMS, is looking forward to the return of the ASA Midwest Tour in 2011. "We are very excited to welcome the ASA Midwest Tour back to Marshfield Motor Speedway this Saturday," Brevik said. "Along with the great racing, we will have an incredible fireworks display.”

A lot of great local drivers will be looking to overtake last year’s winner, Chris Wimmer and all of the stars of the ASAMT. 2010 Track Champion, Jason Weinkauf, Fall Shootout Champion, Ben Pettis, last year’s Rookie of the Year, Ronnie Rihn and many others will be looking to prove their experience on the half-mile asphalt.

In addition, Steve Holzhausen will be returning to action behind the wheel. In 2010, Holzhausen broke his leg after hard contact with the turn three wall at Dells Raceway Park during practice. Brevik talked with Holzhausen about the return. “I talked to Steve Holzhausen and he told me last week that his return behind the wheel will be this Saturday night at Marshfield. I know the race fans will be excited to see him race again after his injury last season,” indicated Brevik.

With the ASAMT visiting the track on 4th of July weekend, fans will be treated to a very special weekend of fun. Not only will the ASAMT bring in the top drivers in the country combined with local hot shoes, but the side-by-side and sometimes three-wide racing will bring non-stop excitement to the fans.
