MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY ANNOUNCES GUARANTEED 12-K (& 3K) TO WIN FOR "K-TOWN KLASH"!

(click image to see larger printable image version)
|
The racing world was shaken to it's core by the passing of local USRA B-Mod racer Casey Knutson. In a way to honor his memory, MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY is
happy to announce plans for the "K-TOWN KLASH - The Inaugural Casey Knutson Memorial" - which is now scheduled for Friday, July 31st, 2020!
"Anyone in the sport, specifically here at MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY, knows just how special of a person Casey was", said MTS Promoter Tyrone
Lingenfelter, during a FaceBook Live announcement held Friday morning February 28th, "This is our way to honor Casey's memory. Casey always liked the big shows that
we have here at MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY - actually winning a few of them - and so we decided that we wanted to put on another big show, just for Casey."
MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY has already put forth a strong payout for this event, the twist is that now, friends, fans, former sponsors, or local/area/regional/national
businesses can get involved, with that hopes being that we can end up with a legitimate "$12K for 12K" event.
"We would love nothing more than for the winner of this event to celebrate in Victory Lane with a check for $12K - since we all know Casey's car number was '12K'", said
Lingenfelter.
So here's your opportunity to get involved - via the official MTS FaceBook account: " April 24th (July 17th) is shaping up to be a special night and if you would like to donate
to the B-Mod payout please call 507-474-2750, message the MTS FaceBook page or message Tyrone Lingenfelter to find out how you can make that happen!"
UPDATE July 20th:
Announcement regarding the K-Town Klash Casey Knutson Memorial Race.

Due to the current COVID-19 Pandemic, and the State of WISCONSIN's "SAFER AT HOME" and "COVID-19: The Badger Bounce Back" guidelines, MISSISSIPPI THUNDER
SPEEDWAY has been FORCED to cancel our Open Practice - which was scheduled for Wednesday April 22nd. In addition, our scheduled Season Opener, scheduled for Friday
April 24th, has been postponed until Friday, May 1st!
Through no shortage of communication with County and State Officials, we have tried every way possible to find a way back to green-flag racing at MISSISSIPPI
THUNDER SPEEDWAY, unfortunately this week is no longer realistic. We have hopes for next week (Friday, May 1st) - most likely via live-streaming coverage - and
all details related will be made public when finalized.
We wish to make it clear that MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY is taking all guidance from State & County officials into consideration, and would like to reassure
all racers, fans, employees, and even non-followers, that we will only proceed according to official rules and guidelines.
Please stay tuned to MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY (website, facebook, etc.) for all details.
MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY appreciates the excitement shown by all, via Facebook Messages, Texts, Phone Calls, etc. . . . please remain healthy and patient.

MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY REGULAR LUCAS PETERSON CROWNED USRA NATIONAL CHAMPION!
(by USRARacing.com)
Fountain City, WI - For a third straight year, a national champion will be crowned in the USRA Late Model division, and for the first time the honor goes to
MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY regular Lucas Peterson of Grand Meadow, Minn., whose 24 starts were five more than his nearest finisher.
Peterson was unable to find the winner’s circle in 2019 but scored 20 top-ten finishes and cracked the top five on six occasions en route to a $700 champion’s check.
Former MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY Track Champion Justin Sass wound up second in the final points while two-time defending national champ Lance Hofer’s five
wins and third straight track championship at MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY in Fountain City, Wis., was good enough for third.
Matt McEathron was fourth and Cedar Lake Speedway track champion Dan Gullikson claimed the fifth spot. Shaun Mann, Sam Mars, Derek Nelson, Michael Bruggeman, and
Alex Williamson rounded out the top 10.
