TRICKLE TO MAKE HIS ONLY WISCONSIN APPEARANCE AT FEST
By: Kevin RamsellWEST SALEM, WI (Tuesday, August 19, 2008) – The Legend will return to Oktoberfest again, but will not be behind the wheel this time. Wisconsin’s most legendary driver Dick Trickle will make his only Wisconsin appearance at the 39th Annual Oktoberfest Race Weekend at La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway in West Salem, WI.
“Due to health reasons, Trickle will not be racing this season,” John McKarns, MotorSports President and Fest Organizer stated. “However, he plans to ‘walk and talk, meet and greet’ the racers, sponsors and fans at FEST and throughout the ‘camper village.’
Last Oktober, Trickle finished seventh in the American Speed Association Midwest Tour race at Oktoberfest out of a field of 68 Super Late Models.
Trickle has agreed to speak the “Futures” drivers meeting to be held in the Big Red Barn at 5:00 pm on Thursday afternoon, Oktober 2nd. For the first time ever, the meeting will be open to fans with four day wristbands as well as the racers.
“Trickle plans to share some of his racing secrets which have propelled him to over one thousand feature race wins during his legendary career,” McKarns said. “As he often says, ‘to finish first, first you must finish.’”
The 39th Annual Oktoberfest Race Weekend will take place on Oktober 2-5, 2008 at La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway. For more information, including camping and hotel availability, please visit www.lacrossespeedway.com.
