TRAVIS SAUTER NAMED 2011 OKTOBERFEST CHAMPION
(West Salem, WI) October 18, 2011 - Officials of the LaCrosse Fairgrounds Speedway announced today that Travis Sauter is named the 2011 Oktoberfest Champion. The 42nd Annual Oktoberfest event was held Oct. 6th-9th at the Speedway in West Salem, and Johnny Sauter was the first across the line for the main event.However, after a lengthy technical inspection by the sanctioning body - the ASA Midwest Tour, tech inspectors found Johnny Sauter's car to be outside the rules and regulations for the series. According to ASA Officials, they will still give the win to the driver and car, but all points and money for the win will be forfeited for any rules infraction.
“Although we respect the decision and procedures of the ASA Midwest Tour, we do not agree on recognizing a team that does not fit within the boundaries of the rules and giving them such a win,” stated Speedway Promoter Gregg McKarns. “We believe we should recognize the winner of this nostalgic and prestigious event, one that has passed technical inspection in all aspects. We believe the integrity of the event and short track racing is at stake with this decision, so event runner-up finisher Travis Sauter will be named as the 2011 Oktoberfest Champion” concluded McKarns.
