The La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway is a semi-banked asphalt oval racetrack in West Salem, Wisconsin.
[5] It originally ran a single annual International Motor Contest Association (IMCA) event and it was known as the La Crosse Inter-State Fairgrounds.
The Central Wisconsin Racing Association (CWRA) Late Models were the featured division at La Crosse from 1970 until 1991.
Following the 1986 season the La Crosse County Agricultural Society, the owners of the racetrack, decided to make a change with the promoter.
Instead of renewing with Wehrs, the La Crosse County Ag Society went with Midwest Motorsports Management as the new promoter.
Five drivers (Kevin Nuttleman, Paul Proksch, Charlie Menard, Steve Carlson and Nick Panitzke) would go on to claim either a regional, divisional or state championship.
Nuttleman would become the first driver in NASCAR Whelen All-American Series history to claim a championship under all three formats (Great Northern Region in 1989, Division III in 2005 and Wisconsin State Championship in 2009), and is one of the 25 greatest drivers in NASCAR Whelen All-American Series history.
LaCrosse Fairgrounds Speedway hosts weekly stock car races on Saturday nights which are sanctioned by NASCAR.
[14] Joe Shear is the only driver to have five main event wins; Travis Sauter and Dan Fredrickson are second with four victories.
