1st Annual Gib Wiser Classic 6/2/23!!!!!

The Friday June 2nd sprint car event, co-sanctioned by the Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions and our Bumper To Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series, looks to be the biggest in Dodge County Fairgrounds history, as proven by teams from across the country who have released their schedules. This event will have added local flare too as it's name is synonymous with area short track racing, as the 1st annual Gib Wiser Classic will take to the horsepower half-mile.

The biggest purse in speedway history will be offered, and advance ticket information will be released soon. We are also excited to have the Rayce Rudeen Foundation on board for this event, as well as their headline event at the Plymouth Dirt Track the following night, Saturday June 3rd. Ticket info for that event will be forthcoming as well. The MSA Sprints will supply the support for the weekend in these all sprint car shows.

Gib Wiser is a legend of Wisconsin racing. A 4-time IRA Champion 1982-85, 4-time Star Trac Sprint Car Champion 1982, 83, 84, 86, and 3-time Wilmot Sprint Car Champion 1983, 84, 86. "The Flying School Teacher" also picked up several Modified titles during his illustrious career including a pair at Francis Creek 1975, 80, Beaver Dam 1981-82, Plymouth (EWSC) 1975, and Wilmot 1982. Gib was inducted into the Southeast Wisconsin Short Track Hall of Fame in 2009, and his number 55 sprinter etched into the memory of many.

Stay tuned for ticket info mid-March.
