The Wisconsin Challenge Series will return to Central Wisconsin race tracks for a third straight year.  The four-race series will consist of 75-lap races at State Park Speedway, Golden Sands Speedway and Marshfield Motor Speedway.

“We are excited to bring back the Wisconsin Challenge Series for another year,” said Golden Sands Speedway Owner Cody Smiley “The races have brought good car counts and great racing and we expect to see the same again this year.”

The 2019 Wisconsin Challenger Series will kick off on Thursday, June 6th at State Park Speedway.  The series will then visit Marshfield Motor Speedway on Saturday, July 13th before back to back races at Golden Sands Speedway.  The Plover, WI racetrack will host the third race of the series on Friday, August 9th and then will also host the championship night on Friday, September 13th.

“We like the philosophy of the one race per month, so it allows drivers time between races and also time to race at other tracks in between,” said Smiley.  “It’s just a great opportunity for drivers to get to all the Central Wisconsin tracks and also be able to compete for a championship
