Chateau Speedway (Lansing, MN) 8/20/2021 Matthew Grage

One of the highlights on the schedule every year at Chateau Speedway is Kids Night. The drivers look forward to it as much as the kids do as they head out on the track an hour before race time and the kids line up to get a ride in the cars. The track always brings out a couple bikes to giveaway as well and again the drivers, along with some fans, bring more bikes out and before you know it there’s a dozen happy youngsters going home with a new bike as well as other prizes and candy. Plus the free ice cream treats for the younger crowd at intermission and a beautiful night out for some racing action make it an enjoyable night for all.

The biggest race of the night was against Mother Nature as a line of storms was set up in western Minnesota and expected about 9:00. The drivers ran through the heats with just one caution and than after a short intermission to give the bikes away The Track made it through four of the six features with just four cautions amongst them before having to call an end to the night. As the fifth of the feature, the Action Builders WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds were pulling onto the speedway word came down of severe weather five miles out and the fans were sent to there cars and drivers back to there trailers. The two features that were not run, the Midwest Mods and the USRA B Mods will run make up events in two weeks on Season Championship Night.
