GREEN BAY, Wis. (September 1, 2023) – Monday’s Cleaver Classic Presented by Kroll’s West Restaurant at Golden Sands Speedway in Plover, Wis., will have plenty of drivers who are capable of taking the victory.

For starters, everyone will be looking to stop the hot streak of Jordan DeVoy. DeVoy has won the last two TUNDRA races at Golden Sands, and picked up a win in the Harvest Race prior to those. He has proven to be very strong at the third-mile.

DeVoy was almost denied a win by John Beale last season, in an unforgettable race to the checkered flag. Beale is another driver to keep an eye on…as well as his teammate Dalton Zehr. It’s rare that Beale and Zehr compete in the same event, but fans will have the opportunity to see that on Monday. Zehr won the first ever TUNDRA race at Golden Sands on Memorial Day of 2013. He’ll be looking to back up his win from Norway in July.

Another former winner, Justin Mondeik, enters with plenty of momentum. Mondeik dominated the last TUNDRA race at State Park Speedway and was victorious in TUNDRA action at GSS in 2020.

Mark Mackesy won the TUNDRA stop at Golden Sands in 2016 and will be back looking for some magic in this season’s event.

Looking for their first TUNDRA wins, plenty of attention will be on last year’s fast qualifier Travis Volm and 2023 GSS Champion Mark Eswein. Volm will enter the race as the point leader with teammate Brock Heinrich and will be looking to hold that advantage with one race remaining after Plover. Eswein will be looking to shake the bad luck he’s had in TUNDRA events, and take home the W in front of his home crowd.

Plenty of intrigue surrounds other racers looking for marquee wins including Colin Reffner, 2023 GSS Pro Late Champion Kendrick Kreyer, former GSS Champion Brandon Selle, Anthem Fast Dash point leader Kole Guralski, and Alex Hartwig, making his Super Late Model debut.

TUNDRA will be joined by the WIR 1/4-Mile Late Models, Pure Stocks, and American Super Cups. Fan gates open at noon, qualifying is at 10:45 and racing begins at noon.
