TRACK PROFILE
The Madison International Speedway (MIS) is a stock car racing oval in Oregon, Wisconsin (near Madison). The track is billed as "The Track of Champions" and "Wisconsin's Fastest Half Mile." The track was known as Capitol Speedway until it was closed in the 1980s. The track continued operation as a dirt track under the name of Impact Speedway, where the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars made numerous appearances. The track was closed down until 1992 when Wayne Erickson, the owner of Slinger Super Speedway, took over. Wayne ran the track until 1996 when Jerry Fillner and his son Kevin Fillner took over. The Fillner family operated the track and made several improvements to the pits and upper concession areas. In 2001 Chicago area businessman Terry Kunes purchased the racetrack and hired Roy Kenseth to be the promoter. After two seasons Roy Kenseth started RK Promotions and decided to leave the track. Steve Einhaus was hired to fill the void left by Kenseth. In 2007 Einhaus will be focusing his attention on the newly formed ASA Midwest Super Late Model Series. Track promotions have been turned over to long time competitor and official Dave Grueneberg.
