It’s the sound of a big-block V8, the smell of racing fuel, and the sight of 600-hp, feather-light cars drifting around dirt corners that ignites a high-octane exhilaration in gear heads. For those who are not concerned with piston rings or tire pressure, the thrill comes from the sheet metal-crimpling crashes, as long as everyone walks away unscathed.
Regardless of why you enjoy watching it, circle track racing is an American favorite and one of Northeast Wisconsin’s premier racetracks is Shawano Speedway. Located on the Shawano County Fairgrounds, this half-mile dirt oval entertains fans every Saturday night from April to September with five divisions of racecars. Classes include the low-cost, crash-happy IMCA stock cars, chopped and customized IMCA modifieds, and the lighting quick, high-output IMCA late models.
Tickets at the gate are already reasonable, but RTownShopper has discounted gift certificates for two adult tickets or family-size packages to a mudslinging, heart-pumping evening at Shawano Speedway. Also, be sure to check out the deals RTownShopper has for Shawano, Wisconsin-area restaurants so you can fuel up before the engines roar and the green flag drops.
