Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

The abbreviated 2023 Chateau Speedway racing season came to a conclusion Sunday afternoon with the running of the $1,000 to win Stock Car Shootout. 

Just over three inches of rain made it a busy Sunday morning for track officials as they worked to get the moisture worked into the track for the big race.

The title class for the event, the Skjeveland Enterprises USRA Stock Cars were led by Blake Adams of, Stacyville, Iowa, who led flag to flag to take the big check in the $1,000 to win feature. Curt Lund, of Redwood Falls, kept the pressure on right up to the end looking inside, then outside but could not find the move that would put him to the point.

Phil Wehnert of, Galesville, Wisconsin, came home third as he worked his way from outside of row four to the top three.  Lund and David Gustafson of Pine Island took the class’s heat wins.

Hanson Tire WISSOTA Mid΁west Mods were dominated by Josh Mattick, of Rose Creek, who swept the classes lone heat as well as the feature. Tommy Myer, of Blooming Prairie, who led early came home in second.

The track will be used for one more event this fall with SMP Promotions holding their Season Championship Enduro on Oct. 7. 

Full size and compact cars will compete in the afternoon show.
