GREEN BAY, Wis. (August 11, 2023) – It’s as close to a home track for the TUNDRA Travelers as it gets with several of the top TUNDRA Super Late Model Series teams very much familiar with State Park Speedway. Those regulars will be hoping for some home cooking when the series heads to the quarter-mile this Sunday for the Rib Mountain Rumble Presented by Mr. Brews Taphouse.

Perhaps the driver with the most momentum will be State Park Speedway point leader and current TUNDRA runner-up Brock Heinrich. Heinrich won the Detjens Memorial at the end of July and won Thursday night’s feature as well.

Behind Heinrich were two other home-area drivers looking to pick up the win. Kole Guralski finished Second to Heinrich, and has shown good speed throughout the TUNDRA season. A chance to race in front of the home crowd could be just what he needs for a potential first series win.

Justin Mondeik finished Third at State Park on Thursday, and will be looking to back up his dominating performance from 2020 – the last time TUNDRA visited Wausau for an event. Mondeik capture fast time and ran away with the feature win. It was during a time-frame where Mondeik won three straight SPS Championships.

For the non-SPS regulars, many eyes will be on John Beale. Beale led a large portion of the Detjens Memorial in July and is no stranger to Victory Lane at Wausau. He tags in for teammate Dalton Zehr for the first time this season. The Gildan Team currently leads the TUNDRA points standings.

A host of other central Wisconsin standouts will look to make some noise including former TUNDRA SPS winner Mark Mackesy, now 11-time Golden Sands Champion Mark Eswein, local favorite Rayce Haase, past feature winner at SPS Travis Volm, and a returning Colin Reffner.

Some traveling spoilers are potentially in the field as well. Kulwicki Driver Development Program finalist Riley Stenjem has shown plenty of promise at State Park in the past. Jordan Thiel has also found the podium in past races. Braison Bennett could also prove to be dangerous on Sunday.

TUNDRA will be joined by the WIR ¼-Mile Late Models, Wisconsin Sport Trucks, and Dairyland Vintage Series. Qualifying is scheduled for 1:30pm with racing at 3pm.

State Park Speedway is located at 147711 N Mountain Rd in Wausau, Wis. For More information visit http://www.stateparkspeedway.com
