MARSHFIELD, Wis. (June 13) – Close a number of times before, John Beale finally broke through in the Bob & Bev Aschenbrenner Memorial at Marshfield Motor Speedway and won his first TUNDRA Super Late Model Series feature since 2017.

Beale saved his best for last, taking the lead from Justin Mondeik of Gleason on lap 58 and pulling away late. He came out on top after a bumping, grinding battle among four contenders in the race’s latter stages to win a TUNDRA start for the first time since 2017.

“Yeah, it was a different one. I like to be up front and lead all the laps that way, so this one was a little bit different,” said Beale in an interview with Loran Leech after the race. “I was just hoping for a podium at best, and then everyone does what they do on these big races and they were getting together and a lot of yellows…there’s no way I thought we were going to win, we would’ve lost a lot of bets, but we just do what we do, slowly move on up and get what we can and ended up with the win.”

Beale figured to be among the favorites in TUNDRA’s second of five stops this season, having won the season-opening super late model feature at Marshfield in May. He also finished no worse than fourth in six previous starts in the Aschenbrenner Memorial, including runner-up finishes in 2022 and 2024.

The field spent most of the race chasing Mondeik, though, as the driver who aced out Beale for Aschenbrenner Memorial wins in 2022 and 2024 started on outside of the front row and was the clear-cut best car in leading the first 52 laps.

The race started with just one caution in the first 38 laps, but things heated up over the second half of the race and especially over the final 32 laps. The cautions bunched up the field and allowed closest pursuers Beale, Ty Fredrickson of Webster, Minn., Penn Sauter of DeForest and last year’s race winner Jerad de Boer of Sherry to all size up a shot at Mondeik, with Fredrickson going first. He got inside Mondeik with a crossover move on a lap 43 restart before dropping back. De Boer was running as high as fourth but slowed on lap 51 and exited the race, and Sauter’s race was finished two laps later when a blown tire resulted in his car going into the turn one wall.

Fredrickson then edged ahead of Mondeik at the line to lead laps 53 and 54 shortly after another restart. Mondeik and Fredrickson traded paint several times with Beale lurking right behind both, and Beale even took a look inside both on lap 55. Mondeik was back out front by lap 57, but Beale got inside him the next lap and cleared Mondeik for the top spot on lap 59.

Beale was in the clear from there, with Mondeik, Fredrickson and the rest appearing to fade and their cars used up compared to Beale driving away from the field. Mondeik appeared headed to a runner-up finish but slowed out of turn four on lap 69 and stalled on the backstretch, his race over.

Fredrickson would hold off Wausau’s Travis Volm for second. Volm put on a show with a charge through the field all the way from 19th to a podium finish.

Volm was running in the top five in the opening laps before contact coming off turn two sent Beale spinning, with Volm tapping out to take blame for the incident, giving Beale his spot back while Volm restarted at the tail of the field. He was in the top 10 again by lap 13, though, surpassed Carter Christenson of West Salem for seventh on lap 31, and passed the slowing de Boer for fifth on lap 49. Volm was hounding Fredrickson for the runner-up spot in the final laps, looking high and low before finishing third by half a car length.

Weston Marthaler of Glenwood, Minn., finished fourth with Jevin Guralski of Wausau fifth and M.G. Gajewski of Wausau sixth. Mondeik and Beale won heat races, Volm won the fast dash and de Boer was the quickest qualifier with a lap of 17.957 seconds.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (June 10, 2026) – The final Aschenbrenner Memorial at Marshfield Motor Speedway will boast a strong field of past winners, young stars and fresh challengers when the TUNDRA Super Late Model Series rolls into the half-mile this Saturday, June 13.

Among the leaders of the pack will be the duo that battled for the win in the season-opening event at Wisconsin International Raceway – Ty Fredrickson and Penn Sauter.  Both young racers are standouts on the scene and promise to be in contention for the win.

Past winners will also be tough to handle. Justin Mondeik will be looking to be the only three-time winner of the Aschenbrenner Memorial after victories in 2022 and 2024.  Jerad de Boer, who won convincingly last year, will look to be the first and only repeat winner of the event.

A few potential first-time event winners sit on the horizon.  John Beale has set multiple fast times and scored multiple podium finishes at Marshfield in TUNDRA action. He is seeking his first series win since 2017.  Darren Jackson is a former MMS Champion and promises to be in the hunt.

A trio of other youngsters could be in the mix, as well.  Minnesotan Weston Marthaler won a feature at Marshfield earlier this year. Jevin Guralski also has Marshfield feature wins under his belt. Guralski’s younger brother, Kooper will be looking to make noise in his TUNDRA debut.

Several veterans will look to be in the mix as well including the King of State Park Speedway Mark Mackesy, WIR standout Andy Monday, the speedy Travis Volm, last year’s Cleaver Classic winner Jeremy Lepak, and former CWRA winner Darek Gress.

A few drivers are still looking to finalize plans and hope to join the field.

TUNDRA will be joined by the Midwest Truck Series and Legends. Qualifying begins at 6pm with racing at 7pm.

KAUKAUNA, Wis. (May 16, 2026) – Ty Fredrickson is now two for two in TUNDRA Super Late Model Series races at Wisconsin International Raceway.

Fredrickson quickly secured the lead in the Spring Classic 75 at WIR and maintained a steady pace throughout the race. He then outlasted a challenge from fast qualifier Penn Sauter on a late restart to secure the win.

Sawyer Effertz gained the early lead from fellow front-row starter Brock Heinrich at the drop of the green flag, with Heinrich settling into second and Andy Monday grabbing Third.

Behind them, Ty Fredrickson and Grant Griesbach jousted for Fourth with Fredrickson grabbing the spot on lap three. He then shot past Heinrich on the next lap. Soon he chased down Effertz and began looking for ways into the lead.

On lap eight, Fredrickson made his move past Effertz using the inside line. He then began to build a healthy margin over the rest of the field.

Next on the move was Penn Sauter, who grabbed Third on lap 16, then Second on lap 27. Sauter, the Ken’s Sports Fast Qualifier for the event, then looked to chase down Fredrickson. However, each time Sauter would gain slightly, Fredrickson would regain his margin.

The only caution, and potential obstacle for Fredrickson came on lap 67 when Andy Monday made a dash into the pits. The yellow was thrown for debris and to remove Monday’s car from the pit entrance. On the restart Fredrickson was able to rocket away from Sauter and maintain his margin through the final eight laps.

Behind Sauter, Sawyer Effertz finished Third, Jordan Thiel stormed through the field to finish Fourth, and Grant Griesbach rounded out the Top Five.

Ty Fredrickson scored a dominant win to open the TUNDRA Series season, taking the lead early in the event and leading the rest of the laps en route to the victory. Fredrickson led unchallenged for most of the event, with his biggest obstacle the race’s only caution flag on lap 67.

The next event for the TUNDRA Super Late Model Series is Saturday, June 13 at Marshfield Motor Speedway. It is the final Aschenbrenner Memorial honoring long-time supporters of the sport, Bob and Bev Aschenbrenner. TUNDRA will be joined by the Midwest Truck Series and Legends. Fan gates open at 5pm with racing at 7pm.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (May 13, 2026) – The TUNDRA Super Late Model Series begins its 16^th season Saturday at Wisconsin International Raceway with the Spring Classic 75.

The field is littered with past series winners, former Champions, and contenders.

The past three Spring Classic winners will be looking to get off to a hot start to the 2026 season once again. 

Grant Griesbach won last year’s TUNDRA stop and went on to win the Fox River Racing Club Championship as well as the Red, White and Blue, and Slinger Speedway titles. Ty Fredrickson won the 2024 running, then went on to win the TUNDRA and Kulwicki Driver Development Championships. Sawyer Effertz was victorious in 2023, then went on to win the FRRC and RW&B titles.

Plenty of other contenders are in the field – including Dalton Zehr, who is looking to get the monkey off his back in TUNDRA races at WIR. Zehr won in 2014 and has come close several times to winning again including last year.

Young drivers to watch will be Kulwicki Development Program racer Penn Sauter and Cody Vanderloop who threatened to steal the win from Griesbach on the final lap of last year’s TUNDRA event at the half mile.  2025 KDDP finalist Noah Eisenhower will also make his series debut.

Others with strong backgrounds at WIR include multi-time former Champ Jeff Van Oudenhoven, former track champs Andy Monday and Bobby Kendall, and TUNDRA standouts Jeremy Lepak and Brock Heinrich.

TUNDRA will be joined by the Pro Late Models for the Alburetor 28 honoring the late Al Golueke and the Mid-Am Racing Series for the Vercauteren Memorial 30 honoring series founder Gary Vercauteren and his family.  Qualifying begins at 12:30 with racing at 2pm.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (April 15, 2026) – Rule and registration forms are now available for the 2026 TUNDRA Super Late Model Series season. Entry forms for the May 16 season-opening Spring classic will be posted soon.

Registration explanation and forms are available at the Drivers page.

TUNDRA continued along the path from 2025 with its registration this year. The race-by-race format is intended to make things more manageable for non-members to join the events while still providing savings and perks for member drivers.

The 2026 season features five events at four tracks.

The second running of the revised Spring Classic Weekend at WIR kicks off Thursday, May 15 with a pit party. The Friday May 15 event will feature a full show on the quarter mile including the WIR ¼-Mile Late Models, Street Stocks, Wisconsin Sport Trucks and Sizzlin’ 4s as well as the new Crown Vics on the half mile. Saturday’s event will feature the TUNDRA Super Late Models and the Alburetor 28 for Pro Late Models. The Mid-Am Racing Series also returns to the half-mile for the Saturday show.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (January 15, 2026) – The TUNDRA Super Late Model Series celebrates its Sweet 16 Season with five stops on the card for the 2026 campaign.

The series begins once again at Wisconsin International Raceway. The event will be Saturday afternoon May 16. This season will again see a two-day show with the quarter mile featured on Friday and three divisions in action on Saturday. TUNDRA will be joined by the Pro Late Models and Mid-Am Racing Series.

The second stop for TUNDRA will be at Marshfield Motor Speedway on Saturday, June 13 for the popular Bev Aschenbrenner Memorial. The Bev race has proven to be one of the banner events each season for TUNDRA. This year the Midwest Truck Series joins TUNDRA on what will prove to be a day full of action at the half-mile.

TUNDRA will mark its midway point of 2025 at Dells Raceway Park for the North American Cup on Saturday, July 4. The event – a popular stop for drivers on the calendar – was rained out last season, generating plenty of anticipation for the series’ return.

The Cleaver Classic moves to a new date in 2026. The event honoring David Kronberger now takes place on Saturday, July 25 at Golden Sands Speedway. TUNDRA will be joined by local divisions and, tentatively, the Upper Midwest Vintage Racing Series.

After a long break, and plenty of lead up, the series will settle its 2026 Championship at Marshfield Motor Speedway. It will be the first time TUNDRA participates in the Fall Shootout, which boasts a line up card full of divisions rounding out their season in Central Wisconsin.

WISCONSIN DELLS, Wis. (October 18, 2025) – For the first time the TUNDRA Super Late Model Series co-branded an event with the Alive For Five at Dells Raceway Park. The season finale featured a race within a race to decide the 2025 TUNDRA Championship.

Jordan DeVoy sealed the deal for himself and his teammate Kody King in the Falloween 100. Despite finishing 11th, DeVoy finished ahead of Bobby Kendall to flip a two-point deficit heading into the race into a two-point advantage to end the season.

The day held plenty of weight for DeVoy aside from the TUNDRA title chase. After setting fast time he dedicated his race date to his late mother and racing inspiration and former Lake Geneva Raceway standout Randy Rogers who both succumbed to cancer. His team along with several others raised over $7,000 for cancer research during the event.

The race was won by Tristan Swanson, who also won the last TUNDRA race at DRP in July of 2024. Swanson dominated the event until the final laps when he turned away the advances of Casey Johnson and Ryan Farrell.

Earlier in the event, Randy Schuler sealed the TUNDRA Rookie of the Year title.

More information about the 2026 TUNDRA Super Late Model Series season will be coming soon.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (September 30, 2025) – The 2025 TUNDRA season took plenty of twists and turns with multiple rain outs and a shuffling of the schedule.  On October 18 the series will decide its 2025 Championship at Dells Raceway Park.

After the first three races of the season the team of Bobby Kendall and Travis Volm lead the team of Jordan DeVoy and Kody King by just two points.  Kendall and DeVoy will be racing for TUNDRA points at the event.  Brock Heinrich is still in the hunt, 19 points out of the lead.

The team of Casey Johnson and Justin Mondeik sit 37 points out, and mathematically could still split another TUNDRA title between themselves.

In a first for TUNDRA, the event is co-sanctioned with Dells Raceway Park’s Alive for Five Series.  Drivers who registered as TUNDRA members will race head-to-head for feature points within the 100-lap main.  The highest finishing driver will be deemed the TUNDRA winner and will receive feature-winning points.

A total of 14 drivers registered as TUNDRA members this season. Of those, 13 are expected to take part in the event.  That leaves the maximum amount of points to be gained at 39. 

If the battle is to come down to Kendall and DeVoy, the math is simple.  Whichever driver finishes better wins the Championship. The split between positions is greater than two points until 10^th and 11^th place, meaning the bulk of the TUNDRA drivers would have to finish ahead of both to force a tie.

For Heinrich to emerge as Champion, he would need some help. He would need to be among the Top Four finishing TUNDRA drivers and have at least six spots on Kendall and five on DeVoy.

Johnson (who will be representing his team) will need DeVoy to finish 13^th among the 13, Kendall to finish 12^th, and Heinrich to finish somewhere outside the Top 10 of TUNDRA regulars.

Kendall and DeVoy both have strong histories at DRP. Kendall has turned many laps and set multiple TUNDRA fast times in the series’ infancy. DeVoy has won big events – including TUNDRA and Alive For Five races at the third-mile.  Both drivers have three Top Tens in four Alive For Five races this season.

Both teams are deserving of sitting in their spot due to consistent efforts through the three races.

Kendall began the season with a Seventh Place finish at Wisconsin International Raceway.  From there, Volm notched two strong finishes of Seventh at Golden Sands and Fourth at Marshfield.

It was Kody King who lit the torch for his team with a Fifth Place finish in the season opener at WIR.  DeVoy followed that up on Labor Day with a Fourth Place finish at Golden Sands. King then kept his team in the hunt after persevering through a tough qualifying effort at Marshfield to notch an Eighth Place finish.

Not to be lost, are the chances of Brock Heinrich, who suffered a DNF in the opener at WIR. He recovered well with two consecutive Fifth Place efforts at Golden Sands and Marshfield.  It will be Heinrich’s first visit to DRP this season. He finished Eighth in last year’s North American Cup 100.

If Kendall, DeVoy, or Heinrich seal the Championship without being the top running TUNDRA driver, there would be another wacky stat line to a year that seems full of anomalies (thanks in large part to Mother Nature). It would be the third time a TUNDRA Championship was won without a feature win. Dalton Zehr accomplished the feat in 2017 and Casey Johnson won the title without a feature win in 2018.

The Falloween 100 takes place at Dells Raceway Park on Saturday, October 18. For more information visit www.dellsracewaypark.com

MARSHFIELD, Wis. (September 13, 2025) – Jerad de Boer has been a force at Marshfield Motor Speedway this season. Things were no different Saturday night when the visitors of the TUNDRA Super Late Model Series came into town for the Bev Aschenbrenner Memorial.

After setting fast time de Boer picked his way through the field early and took the lead off a restart on lap 24, setting sail to his first ever series win. Justin Mondeik, who led early, held off the challenges of John Beale to finish Second. Beale scored his second straight podium with a Third Place finish.

From Jim Carlson (Late Model Digest)

The 2025 campaign has been Jerad deBoer’s best in Super Late Model competition at Marshfield Motor Speedway. Through August he won five of the nine features in the top class at the half-mile, ranging from a 25-lap sprint in the spring to the 50-lap John Brevik Classic, the annual event honoring the father of track promoter Wayne Brevik.

His latest triumph brought a new challenge for deBoer, from Sherry, Wis.

This was the TUNDRA Super Late Model Series season finale, and at 75 laps the Bev Aschenbrenner Memorial was the longest race which he has ever won.

“It seems like we’ve got it good, I guess. Everything seems to be working out. We found something that we like and it seems to be good on these tires, and it keeps getting better as the race goes on,” deBoer said. “We changed a few things for this race since the sun went down early and we had to take a couple of things into account. Fortunately we have enough experience now to make the right changes for that.”

Time trials also went his way, and deBoer started 10th after the inversion.

By lap 20 he was third, and then the final two pieces fell into place more quickly than expected.

“We had a caution on whatever lap it was,” he said about lap 23. “The two guys ahead of me took the bottom side, and we took the high side and made it work. Later I was kinda hoping there’d be a yellow for the fans, but I’m glad there wasn’t, I guess.”

Those two standouts were Justin Mondeik and John Beale, who ran second and third for the rest of the evening. Mondeik, whose crew chief is legendary Midwest setup man Toby Nuttleman, had a good idea of what deBoer had in his #2; deBoer is in his second season driving a TobyCar chassis.

“We never got it on the track last year until late July,” said deBoer, sponsored by Earth Inc., the Hearing House, Cournouyer Oil, Hughes Service, Nasonville Dairy, Lifescape Wealth, Legend Seeds, FRS Shocks, McGunegill Engine Performance, Five Star Bodies and Wehrs Machine & Racing Products. Marshfield has been deBoer’s focus this season, which may account for some of his success. His only other start in 2025 was Memorial Day at Golden Sands Speedway, where he placed third in the Trickle 99, behind Mondeik and Beale.

MARSHFIELD MAKE-UP THIS SATURDAY WITH BEV ASCHENBRENNER MEMORIAL

GREEN BAY, Wis. (September 10, 2025) – After a rainout in early June, the TUNDRA Super Late Model Series readies for a visit to Marshfield Motor Speedway this Saturday for the Bev Aschenbrenner Memorial.

The field will be headlined by Championship drivers, hopeful contenders and drivers looking to get back to Victory Lane.

Fresh off his exciting win at Golden Sands Speedway on Labor Day, Jeremy Lepak will make his second start of the season. Lepak dazzled by setting fast time and working his way to the win in the Cleaver Classic 108, TUNDRA’s last event.

He will see some familiar faces up front including drivers who finished on the podium at GSS John Beale and Ty Fredrickson. Fredrickson finds himself in the thick of a point battle with Kody King and Travis Volm entering the event.

Drivers with multiple Championship pedigree including Lowell Bennett and MG Gajewski will also be in the field.   Other drivers with SLM track Championships to their name include Andy Monday, Wyatt Brooks, Corey Jankowski, Justin Mondeik, Brock Heinrich, and 2024 Marshfield Champ Dillon Mackesy.  Current Marshfield point leader Jerad de Boer will also look to make noise.

TUNDRA will be joined by the Legends, Xtreme 4s and Bandits. Qualifying is at 3pm with racing at 5pm.
