FORT ATKINSON, Wis. (January 10, 2010) – Mid-American Stock Car Series officials released a tentative 2010 schedule Saturday with 10 set dates and two preliminary agreements with dates to be set. The series is in negotiation with two other venues for 2010 events.

FORT ATKINSON, Wis. (December 29, 2009) – The departure of James Swan from the Mid-American Stock Car Series in 2009 left a glaring question – who would replace the four-time champion? That question was answered by a dark horse competitor who snatched the championship on the final evening of Mid-American’s 17th campaign.

FORT ATKINSON, Wis. (November 28, 2009) – The Mid-American Stock Car Series is going where no regional asphalt traveling series has ventured in almost 20 years – to the dirt. For the first time since 1992 the Wisconsin-based organization will hold events on both dirt and asphalt.

Mid-American will take a page out of its history book in 2010 and run at least one race on the clay at the Dodge County Fairgrounds in Beaver Dam, Wis., on Friday, July 2. A second appearance for Mid-American at Dodge County on September 3 is still in negotiation.

The event will be promoted by Dan Thiel of STM promotions. The Ninth Annual Sue Thiel Memorial honors Thiel’s late wife and will feature IRA Sprint Cars and an open-competition midget class.
