WISSOTA - WISSOTA Racing Association
The WISSOTA Promoters Association was founded in 1981 by eight track promoters in Wisconsin and Minnesota, with intent to offer uniform rules for the promoters and drivers involved in the Late Model division. Soon, the group decided to do the same for the growing Modified division.
In 1984 a voluntary steering committee was formed to oversee the business aspects that developed and to guide the future of WISSOTA’s racing divisions. That steering committee evolved into a board of directors, and the non-profit racing organization became incorporated in 1986.
Promoters who join the organization become, in essence, part owners of the racing organization and are expected to contribute to its overall success. Each November, the WISSOTA annual meeting is held; the member promoters gather annually in this forum to discuss the future of the organization. Member promoters are given the opportunity to vote on all organizational policies and procedures as well as rules for competition in the various racing divisions. WISSOTA’s member promoters and racing associations have spent approximately 30 years of hard work at the annual meetings crafting unique rules for each of the divisions, which are known as WISSOTA Late Models, WISSOTA Modifieds, WISSOTA Super Stocks, WISSOTA Street Stocks and WISSOTA Mod Fours.

- Arenz duels for IRA win finishes runner-up at Plymouth
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 4, 2024 - After claiming his first and, so far, only Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series A-main victory last season at a track he knows better than any other, Travis Arenz came oh so close to racking 410 main event victory No. 2 with a large Sheboygan County Fair crowd on hand to spur on the home track driver Saturday, Aug. 31 at The Plymouth Dirt Track. Arenz opened the night by qualifying 14th in the 27-car IRA field with a lap of 12.552 seconds. He then moved up three spots to place second from the fifth starting position in the second IRA heat race to advance to the 30-lap headliner. The 2021 and 2022 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car champion started 11th in the main event and moved up quickly utilizing the high and low lines around the smooth, wide and multi-groove racing surface. The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver worked his way into the top five on lap 12 and moved into second on lap 18 before tracking down race leader Joel Myers Jr. in heavy lapped traffic to steal the lead on lap 21 just before a red flag appeared on the following lap for Shelby Bosie's flip. The 17th-year driver held the lead on the restart and paced the field for the next four laps before Myers Jr. regained the lead with a slide job on lap 26. Arenz had to settle for second and his fourth top five showing of the 2024 IRA season. "Our night at Plymouth didn't start off the best but we have definitely had worse," Arenz said. "Starting outside of the top 10, I knew if I wanted any chance of winning, I needed to set the car up to run where I needed, find the fastest lane and make smart moves. Unfortunately, lap traffic killed my momentum with a few laps to go and I gave up the lead. It was a fun battle and I'm happy to bring home a strong podium finish." Arenz's fortunes weren't nearly as good in the IRA's debut appearance at The Hill Raceway in Sturgeon Bay, Wis. on Sunday, Sept. 1 He opened the night with a solid second place qualifying with a lap of 12.427 seconds before moving up from fourth to second in the second IRA heat race to earn a spot in the dash for the eighth time during the 2024 campaign. After improving from fourth to third in the four-lap IRA dash, Arenz fired off from the sixth starting spot in the 30-lap main event. Arenz's luck went sour on lap 3 when he flipped his 25T machine in turn four while battling with Jake Blackhurst. With little visible damage, Arenz retreated to the work area and managed to return to the race at the rear of the field with a taped-up top wing, which had taken the brunt of the damage during the flip. Following the restart, Arenz advanced quickly from 19th to 12th on lap 15 before the sideboard of the wing collapsed, which severely impeded the handling of his car. He held on the rest of the way to post a 16th place showing as Joel Myers completed the weekend sweep. "At The Hill, we qualified well and felt good in the early part of the night," Arenz said. "We had a good starting position in the A, but I made an error and ended up rolling the car. The damage to the top wing and other parts definitely made the car a handful and caused a bit further damage to some front-end components, but we survived the race. We also found some frame damage. However, we are still hoping to compete in Superior and Cedar Lake this weekend." The Travis Arenz 25T Motorsports Team continues to seek crew members to assist the team. Those interested can send a direct message to Travis through the Travis Arenz Motorsports Facebook page. "I am still looking for another set of crew hands to help for the remainder of the season and, hopefully, for seasons to come," Arenz said. "Anyone with an interest can reach out to me for more info." The Travis Arenz Motorsports team is set to head north and west for a doubleheader weekend of Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series competition starting Friday, Sept. 6 at Gondik Law Speedway in Superior, Wis. for the annual Northern Nationals. The WISSOTA Late Models, Modifieds, Super Stocks and Midwest Mods will also be on the card. Spectator gates open at 3 p.m. and hot laps are scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. with racing underway at 6 p.m. On Saturday, Sept. 7, Arenz and team will travel to Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. for the prestigious 24th annual Jerry Richert Memorial.

- Hartmann charges ahead, banks top 10 at The Hill
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 4, 2024 - Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing Team completed a two-race weekend of Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Cars competition with both speed and consistency tucked firmly in their back pocket after a pair of forward-moving showings at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 31 and The Hill Raceway in Sturgeon Bay, Wis. on Sunday, Sept. 1. With a large Sheboygan County Fair Night crowd looking on, Hartmann kicked off the doubleheader weekend with a 19th place qualifying effort in the 27-car field based on a lap of 12.768 around the Plymouth, Wis. driver's home track. The fifth-year Sprint Car competitor started and finished seventh in the first eight-lap IRA heat race before starting third and placing fifth in the 12-lap IRA B-main to gain a transfer position to the evening's 25-lap main event. Despite being mired in the 23rd starting spot, the 2020 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association Rookie of the Year Award winner negotiated his way through two cautions and a red flag period to charge up eight spots and tally a 15th place finish in a race won by Joel Myers Jr. One night later, the 87A racing team made the trek north to Sturgeon Bay for the first-ever IRA 410 Sprint Car event at The Hill Raceway. Before a near-capacity crowd, Hartmann took an immediate liking to the slightly banked third-mile clay oval ripping off the sixth fastest qualifying lap in the 21-car field with a tour of the track in 12.667 seconds. After starting and finishing third in the third eight-lap IRA heat race, Hartmann advanced to the IRA dash for the sixth time during the 2024 season. A fifth place showing in the first IRA dash gave Hartmann the ninth starting spot in the 30-lap main event. The A-main saw Hartmann mix it up at the front of the field throughout the event. He pulled off several key passes along the low groove of the smooth and slick racing surface to come home with a sixth place showing behind race winner Joel Myers Jr. The strong sixth place result marked the seventh top 10 A-main finish of the 2024 campaign for the 87A Hartmann Racing Team. Throughout the two-race weekend, Hartmann advanced his 87A car 11 positions in A-main action. "We felt like we had a good recovery going from a rough start to the night at Plymouth until the tires sealed over on a late race red in the A," Hartmann said. "Coming into Sunday at The Hill, we didn't know what to expect. It turned out to be a great night. We were a few spots short of a top five, but it was still a strong run. We'll keep building on this momentum and work toward moving up a couple more spots this coming weekend." Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team are set to head north and west for a big weekend of Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action starting Friday, Sept. 6 at Gondik Law Speedway in Superior, Wis. for the annual Northern Nationals. The WISSOTA Late Models, Modifieds, Super Stocks and Midwest Mods will also be on the card.
