Charter Raceway Park - Press Release
The brisk winds of an
exciting race season prevail at Charter Raceway Park in Beaver Dam.
Manager, Carolyn Mueller recently announced that the five division
Saturday evening program will start on May 10th and will
end August 30th. Mueller was also excited about the
return of the World of Outlaws on August 2nd. The “Duel
at the Dam” series that features the IRA Sprints and the Badger
Midgets has been expanded to three thrilling open wheel brawls on
May 3rd, May 31st and July 12th. September is being
reserved for rain dates and possible special events.
The gala January awards banquet was attended by over 250 racers,
family members, friends and sponsors. Not only were past champions
honored, but the outstanding work of announcer Dennis Thompson was
recognized. Thompson emotionally announced his retirement and
received a standing ovation. In his place, Bill Mews has been
hired. Mueller stated that “Bill’s enthusiastic voice and unique
track demeanor” will add new twists to the exciting racing at
Charter. Mews brings years of experience with him from Hales
Corners and Wilmot.
The owners of Charter have also reconfirmed their passion and
commitment to short track racing. They recently awarded Modern
Builders of Ripon, WI a contract to construct a new “fair like”
pavilion. The spacious structure will include areas for individual
vendors, sponsor recognition areas, offices, additional picnic areas
and a large, easy access beverage center. Included with the 4000
square foot structure will be improved lighting and sound systems.
They should all be ready by the season opener.
