MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY officially released a tentative schedule for the upcoming 2012 racing season.

Continuing an arrangement set up by speedway owners over the first three years of racing at the Westcentral Wisconsin facility, action for the 2012 season at the lightning-fast 3/8-mile dirt track will be highlighted by several special events . . .

MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY officially announced, during the 2011 Awards Banquet, that the Pure Stock class will be included in the 2012 competition schedule. In an effort to make entry into the 2012 Pure Stock division as easy and cost effective as possible, MTS owners are also excited to make several announcements that should make the division a great option for any fan of Stock Car racing - regardless of their background . . .

MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY officially concluded its 2011 season with the Awards Banquet which was held at the Riverport Inn & Suites in Winona. With the Christmas weekend quickly approaching, a great crowd was on hand to celebrate the drivers and sponsors who made the season a success.

Tons of door prizes were up for grabs for everyone in attendance at the banquet, not just the drivers. The drivers though were also eligible for a congratulatory gift certificate from Les Duellman Racing Equipment. This was not only to the top five drivers either.

In addition to thanking the drivers, sponsors, and fans, promoter Bob Timm clarified the classes that the track will run in 2012. Additionally, Timm briefly talked about the tentative 2012 schedule . . .

MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY is excited to announce the recipients of The 2011 BAEHMAN LAW B-MOD POINT FUND!! As announced on March 29th, 2011, USRA B-Mod racer - and class fan Jack Baehman decided to fund an unbelievably generous point fund for the USRA B-Mod class for the 2011 season.

Thus was born the The 2011 BAEHMAN LAW B-MOD POINT FUND.

The point fund pays a whopping $3000.00 to the "Point Fund Champion" and pays back through the top 20 competitors who met the point fund criteria. There is also a $250.00 bonus paid to the competitor who raced every point fun show and ended up with the lowest point total.*

The 2011 BAEHMAN LAW B-MOD POINT FUND awards checks will be presented during the 2011 MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY CHAMPIONSHIP AWARDS BANQUET scheduled for Saturday December 17th at the Riverport Inn & Suites located in Winona, MN.

"I can't even begin to explain just how fortunate the USRA B-Mod racers are to have a supporter such as Baehman Law at MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY," said speedway owner Bob Timm, "and any time we can find a way such as this to reward our regular drivers by putting a little extra cash in their pockets, is a win-win situation for all involved. We all owe a HUGE Thank You to Jack Baehman and Baehman Law!"
