A HISTORY OF THE WISCONSIN SPORT TRUCKS

The Wisconsin Sport Trucks began as Mini Champs in 1975. Running almost exclusively at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek until 1987. Mini Champs began as an affordable means of racing, while remaining competitive.

1987 brought change for the champs, scoring a deal with the Fox River Racing Club, to race bi-weekly at Wisconsin International Raceway after 141 Speedway shut down. The following year, they were running as part of the weekly program.

The open-wheel style machines became an insurance issue, at a time when the rest of the track was equipped with a full body. In 1995, Club Vice President Jerry Quella got to work making a prototype body out of wood and cardboard to address the problem. Ultimately, a truck body, similar to Nascar’s Craftsman Truck Series, was developed.
