The Kenosha County Fair’s Wilmot Raceway will have a new look to go with their exciting schedule. The third-mile clay oval will have completed a major offseason project when the gates open on opening night May 6th, as new aluminum bleachers will have been installed. The new bleachers were constructed in a manner that has the entire bleacher elevated on risers, and the entire bleacher comes with seat backs. The schedule itself has a great mix of specials, and is the only track in the region that hosts dates with the World of Outlaw, All Star, IRA, USAC, and MSA Sprint cars, plus Dirt King Late Models, and Badger Midgets too. Wilmot is also the home of the Wisconsin wingLESS Sprints, and their own Modified and 4 cylinder Bandit divisions, plus there are several dates of IRA Lightning Sprints, and United Street Stocks too. Throw in some Truck & Tractor Pulls, a couple crate 604 winged sprint races, Monster Trucks, an open comp non-wing sprint show, and a Demo Derby and Wilmot Raceway certainly has something for every fan.
Traditional favorites like the numerous motorsport events during the Kenosha County Fair August 16 – 20, World of Outlaw Sprint Cars July 8, IRA Outlaw Sprints May 27, July 29, Aug 19, and their co-sanctioned showdown with the All Stars May 13th, the Wildman Watson Dirt King Late Model featuring a HUGE kid’s Bike Giv-A-Way Sept 23, and Monster Trucks June 3-4 have all become annual favorites.
Included in most every special are some of Wilmot Raceway’s core classes, and Wilmot is the proud home of the Wisconsin wingLESS Sprints, IRA Lightning Sprints, their own Modified and Bandit classes, plus United Street Stocks too.
While this schedule is entitled “tentative” it can be subject to change, but this allows both fans and teams to start planning accordingly.
