It is with great sadness that MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY reflects on the passing of a local racing legend. While, sadly, former racers pass away every year, MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY thought that Jim Schell deserved our thoughts and attention.

MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY is, of course, located just north of Fountain City, WI on the exact location of the old "Tri-Oval Speedway", and it was on this track that Jim Schell blazed a trail of speed like not many others. . . .

"The continued interest and growth in the 600 Mod division is absolutely wonderful to see", said MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY owner Bob Timm, "Since we introduced the 600 Mods to the Upper Midwest several years ago, we've enjoyed watching the division capture the attention of the racers and race fans alike.

"This release of the official '2014 600 MODIFIED CAR REQUIREMENTS AND RULES' package helps us insure that everyone is on the same page, so to speak."
