Fountain City, WI - For the second year in a row racers and race fans at MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY took a moment and paused to remember local racing legend Karl Fenske. In true "Kwik-Karl" fashion, there were many laughs and stories shared amongst those in attendance as the on-track action lived up to every expectation.

In a story that writes itself - as if to celebrate the multi-time Track Championships that Karl Fenske won, every driver who rolled into the Whitewater Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Victory Lane was a former Track Champion at MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY - and two of them continued their win streak during this memorial event.

Former Modified Track Champion Lucas Schott interrupted his new parenting duties to haul his #69 Modified to Fountain City and ended up providing his brand new baby Avery her very first visit to Victory Lane. MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY Track Champions Shaun Walski and Lance Hofer (both of whom were feature winners during the inaugural Memorial event) returned for a second memorial victory. Former Track Champion Don Martens also made a return trip to victory lane with his #7M Hornet.

Despite being 2017 Track Champion, Steve Holthaus made his very first trip to the MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY Victory Lane and chose a perfect night to do so . . . .
