🇺🇸 55th Red, White & Blue State Championship WHITE RACE ~ 🏆 High-Stakes Championship Racing Presented by Kurz Industrial Solutions and Anglers Bar & Grill and Campground, this event brings the best short-track drivers in the Midwest to our world-famous facility.
For more than 50 years, the Red, White & Blue State Championship Series has been one of Wisconsin’s most iconic racing traditions.
This is the series where legends were forged, where fans watched Dick Trickle dominate, where Alan Kulwicki sharpened the craft that would take him all the way to NASCAR glory, and where generations of racers have chased one of the most meaningful titles in Midwest short track history.
Expect intense, bumper-to-bumper racing action across three unique tracks:
~ The D-Shaped 1/2-Mile: Watch Super Late Models scream down the straightaways.
~ The Tight 1/4-Mile: Bumper-to-bumper battles where short-track short tempers flare.
The Wild Figure-8: Heart-stopping near misses at the intersection!
And in the spirit of the Red, White & Blue, we’re giving back. On July 9, WIR will donate $1 from every can of Budweiser sold to Folds of Honor Wisconsin, supporting families of fallen service members.
Racing brings us together. Giving back makes us stronger.
