The Sheffler memorial race at 141 has already been cancelled and the August 5th - Outagamie Speedway race has been moved to August 10th.

"Already" been cancelled....makes it sound like you were expecting that news.

The DK series made the announcement at 9pm Thursday night, at the request of the Scheffler family.

After George's atv accident years ago, the event was originally held in August at Manitowoc and the family intended to run the Memorial for 10 years. It was then moved to Oshkosh b/c Manitowoc was shut down.

Fast forward to 2017. The family loses Russ unexpectedly and Oshkosh shuts down at the end of the year. I feel bad for the drivers, their families, and race fans at Oshkosh.

I don't feel sorry for the promoter who can't prep a track, dragged out shows to sell more food, and insulted fans on social media.

Fast forward to '18. The event gets moved to its third track location, the traditional August date gets switched to June, and now the event is in memory of a father and his son. That's a lot for any family to bear.

The DK series will schedule/find another event and I wish all the best to the Scheffler family after a very difficult 2017.

True and true. Point taken...

Hopefully, the DK series continues to grow and get better. It''a good for the drivers/teams, the tracks, and us fans in WI.

The Plymouth DK race last year was the best race I saw last season. Better than any of the Lucas and WoO shows I attended.

The August 17th race is with the AELMT!

Not sure if that will bring more cars as it's a hefty drive for many of the Michigan cars that runs that Ethanol series.

I'll be helping out the #87 of Adam Janke as much as i can this summer. He plans on running the entire DK series.

I believe the AELMS is running the next night at LaSalle, so I think you'll see those drivers make the tow b/c they have 2 paying nights.

I would count on more AELMS cars showing up at Wilmot on Friday than DK cars at LaSalle on Sat night.

The June 29th race has been replaced by the "Diamond 40" at 141 Speedway. It's a 40 lap, $4,000 to win show.
