Wimmer Looks to Build on Solid Start at Madison International Speedway
 
Wausau, WI – The ASA Midwest Tour makes its second stop of the season at Madison International Speedway Sunday, May 4th.  With a 12th place finish at the season opener in Elko, MN, Chris Wimmer looks to build on that solid start.  “Elko was a good start for us,” Wimmer said.  “With a new car and it being our first time on the track I was very pleased.  I hope to change a few things and finish even better at MIS.”
 
Madison International is another track where Wimmer has some experience from his previous ASA days.   “MIS is a fun track,” Says Wimmer, “There are long straight-aways, but tight corners.  You have to have your car working well and I know a lot of the guys in the ASAMT have experience there, so it should be a great race.”  Meanwhile, Wimmer hopes that some of his previous experience helps him this weekend and can land him his first top-ten finish of the season.

BURLINGTON, WI (Wednesday, April 9, 2008) – With less than ten days until the season opener at Elko Speedway, the list of short track stars registered for the 2008 ASA Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment continues to grow. Former ASA National Tour competitor, Chris Wimmer, is the latest to enter his hat into the ring.

The Wausau (WI) native and nephew of the late Larry Detjens, is coming back to the Midwest for many reasons, “I decided to compete in the ASA Midwest Tour this year to hopefully continue my racing career,” Wimmer recently stated.  “I moved down South a few years ago and struggled to find a full time ride.  During the summer I came back to Wisconsin and started racing some of the local tracks again.  I saw some of the Midwest Tour races last year and thought it was a really neat deal.  I really want to continue racing and I thought the ASA Midwest Tour would be a good fit for me.  I've raced a lot of the tracks before and it's nice to be involved with my family.”
