2017 Neitzel Tribute / Schmidt Memorial​

I've attended a lot of races at Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin but never experienced the excitement and passion that filled track on Friday, July 7, 2017. It was wonderful to see the place alive again and a spirit of competition thriving. IRA and MSA sprint cars, Dirt Kings late models and Tony Stewart all were competing on the flat half-mile dirt oval. A standing room only crowd was treated to a night of high-horsepower racing. Knoxvillle Raceway regular Terry McCarl was first in the 410 feature followed by 2016 IRA Champion Jeremy Schultz, McCarl's son Austin took third, Tony Stewart fourth and Scott Neitzel fifth. Kurt Davis won the 360 feature and Justin Hirt took the late model feature which was round six of the Dirt Kings tour.
