141 Speedway (formerly Super 141 Speedway) is a dirt racing track located between Maribel and Francis Creek, Wisconsin. The track is -mile and hosts a weekly racing program with numerous International Motor Contest Association classes.
The land for 141 was acquired in 1959 by original owner Dick Grall; the track was built and the then-Super 141 Speedway opened in 1960.[1] Grall operated the track until 1975 and leased the track until 1990, when a promoter reneged on two years' worth of leasing agreements, closing the track while litigation played out.[2] Grall lost the desire to lease the track, but Matt Rowe bought the track from Grall in late 1997 and re-opened the track for the 1998 season.
The track was originally an asphalt oval, but management made the decision to convert to a dirt track before the 2010 season.[3] The resulting dirt track was -mile, as the asphalt track was -mile.[4] After the 2013 season, previous owners Bruce and Renee Conard sold the track to Scott Ratajczak, local racer Dan Ratajczak, and Iowa dirt racing promoter Toby Kruse.[5]
In 2017, the track sued Manitowoc County over parking on a parcel of land across the road from the track; the parcel was later rezoned by a county board to allow parking.[6]
141 hosts a series of "The Creek" events: The Clash at the Creek, described as a crown jewel IMCA Modified race;[7] the King at the Creek, an IMCA Stock Car event, and the Captain of the Creek, an IMCA Sport Mod event.[8] The track has also hosted the IRA Sprints,[9] and has also been a national championship venue for INEX dirt oval legends cars.[10] In 2018, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series visited the track.[11]
The track held a Mid-American Stock Car Series date in the 2000s.[12]
The Eastern Wisconsin Racing Association sanctioned the track from 1971 until 1978, and the track entered into a sanctioning agreement with the International Motor Contest Association in 1986.[13] It lost IMCA sanctioning in 2011 when a change to Saturday night events resulted in conflicts with other local IMCA-sanctioned tracks.
