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. . . .
