August 5, 2011; Ashland, WI — Four regular-season race nights remain for the drivers that compete at the ABC Raceway for the 2011 campaign. The first of those nights is Saturday night, when Rivord Trucking of Superior and Birch Grove Campground of Iron River will present a complete five-division race program on the three-eighths-mile red-clay oval just south of Ashland.
Due to heavy rains, wet grounds and a forecast promising more precipitation, ABC Raceway officials regretfully have cancelled their race program scheduled for Saturday, July 23. Don’t forget – the first ever visit by the IRA 410 sprint car series is scheduled for next Saturday, July 30, with hot laps and time trials set for 6:15 pm and green-flag racing to start at 7! This is one of the most anticipated events of the summer in the Northland! Don’t miss it!

Ashland, WI — Just like that, the schedule for the 2011 ABC Raceway regular season is half over. But don’t worry, race fans – the second part of the show promises to be even more exciting than the first.
Part Two gets started on Saturday night with the Six-Cylinder Summer Sizzler presented the Bad River Lodge, Casino & Convention Center. An enhanced purse for this unique division will make for a great headline event to the five-division race program.
