The auto racing season at Brown County Speedway will wrap up with a bang during the Big Buck Nationals tonight through Saturday.

While the event has been around for a bit, it has never featured three nights of action.

“We’ve ran the Big Buck Nationals probably four years now, but we’ve never had a tripleheader,” said track official Terry Voeltz. “It’s going to be something new there, a different format. It should be a lot of fun, I think.”

There will be complete shows starting at 7 tonight and Friday with drivers accumulating passing points, and then on Saturday, the program starts at 6 p.m. and will include last chance races with passing points before the event concludes with features based on an accumulation of passing points from all three shows.

Each of the feature winners will not only receive money, they will also get trophies that include Henry Golden Boy Lever Action Rifles mounted on a piece of wood.

Interestingly enough, taking into account last week’s track championship doubleheader, the season will conclude with five nights of action in nine days after going an entire month without a race due to a pair of rainouts and the Brown County Fair.

“The weather raised some heck with us this year,” Voeltz said, “more than probably I’ve ever had in my career, but I’ve been pretty lucky over the years with the weather.”

When the races have gotten in, there have been multiple lanes on the track which have led to some exciting action Voeltz said.

Now, the track preparation gets a bit more challenging with an additional night of racing, according to Voeltz.

“One (night) is by far the easiest, because you’ve got all week to get it ready. Two is a challenge, and then three is an even a bigger challenge, because you can’t blade it all up as much as your normally would on a single-night deal,” Voeltz said. “You don’t have nearly the time to pack it back in, and you don’t have the time to put nearly as much water on it. It’s a challenge.”

The last time BCS had a tripleheader was when it hosted the WISSOTA 100.

Voeltz said there will be a pig roast following Friday’s action with donations going to help driver Luis Chavez in his battle with cancer.

“I think it’s going to be a big weekend,” Voeltz said, “we hope it is.”
