Local Dirt

Coming off a stellar 2022 season where he won championships at Outagamie Speedway and Beaver Dam in the Unified Dirt Street Stocks, James Fletcher gears up for several changes in 2023. We discuss how he got into racing, Beaver Dam and the storied history of his #75 car. This youngster keeps a positive outlook in life which has propelled him to the championship stage. 

We sat down with one of the top guns in the Unified Street Stock division, Jesse Krahn of Beaver Dam. From the early years of crawling around racecars in his yard as a kid, to following in his parents' footsteps and getting behind the wheel. Krahn is a very accomplished racer who came from humble beginnings. He also understands there's more to racing than winning races. We discuss his plans for 2023, what number will he be, his thoughts about all the changes at Beaver Dam and much more. 

This episode opens with sad news in the passing of long-time racer, Terry Van Roy. We talk about The Luxemburg Trade Show, big money races and 2023 schedules at some of our local tracks. What could we possibly use a Street Sweeper for? All this and more for our first episode of 2023.
