Said director of racing Ralph Capitani today, “Gang, the show is over four months away and you can’t believe how much ‘buzz’ is out on the web already about it. And that ‘buzz’ is naturally creating excitement here on the fairgrounds. Just today we opened an entry from Cedar Lake Speedway and WISSOTA young gun Justin Fegers of Mound, Minnesota. Heck, we’ve already got entries from Florida to Oregon, and many points in between!”
