GREEN BAY, Wis. (June 29, 2023) – The TUNDRA Super Late Model Series will hold its 20^th event at Dells Raceway Park this Saturday when it visits for the North American Cup Dedicated to Carl Wegner.  Drivers will be jousting with each other for a chance to lift the North American Cup.

The event honors Carl Wegner – an innovator in the racing industry. The legendary engine builder provided powerplants for racing divisions across the nation all the way to the NASCAR level. His son Casey has carried on his legacy.

Dalton Zehr has littered the TUNDRA history books at Dells Raceway Park. This Saturday, July 1 will mark 12 years since Zehr made his series debut and won the second Alive For Five (now TUNDRA) event.  In fact, six of Zehr’s 15 TUNDRA wins came at DRP – most recently the North American Cup in 2020 and the season-ending event of 2022.

Challenging him will be last year’s TUNDRA Champion Justin Mondeik. Mondeik had struggled at DRP in the past, until last season’s event where he made a stunning late-race pass to take Second and secure the TUNDRA Championship.

Other past TUNDRA DRP winners in the field include Jordan DeVoy, who has been a force at DRP over the last three seasons, and Mike Lichtfeld, who has set up camp in DRP’s victory lane over the last two years.

Plenty of other tough contenders could take their first TUNDRA win after strong starts to the season including Brock Heinrich, Kole Guralski, and Mark Eswein.  Falloween winner Max Kahler will also be one to keep an eye on.

Some other drivers to watch will be EPYK Media Rookie Mitchell Haver, WIR standout Braison Bennett, DRP weekly competitor Braden Berge, former DRP Champion Jesse Bernhagen, and Texan Barrett Polhemus, coming off a Top Five finish in the Trickle 99 last week at DRP.

Some history will also be made on Saturday when Corey Jankowski and Steve Lichtfeld enter the event.  They will both keep their streak alive of competing in at least one TUNDRA event each season since the series began in 2011 as the Alive For Five Series at DRP.
