Rice Lake WI – Henry Repeating Arms, “Made In America Or Not Made At All”, is pleased to announce that they are the title sponsor once again for the second annual Springtime Modified Spectacular to be held on Saturday night, May 9th at the Rice Lake Speedway.
This WISSOTA sanctioned event will provide one of the first higher paying special events for the Modifieds during the 2026 racing season. This date was picked to provide as few conflicts with other tracks as possible, thus allowing more drivers the opportunity to participate in this race.
The Modifieds will be racing for twelve hundred dollars to win the main event and the race will pay one hundred dollars just to start. And as a bonus benefit, there will be no entry fees, draw fees and the pit admission price remains the weekly price of thirty dollars.
And Henry will provide a very special trophy to the winner of the feature in the form of a custom engraved and specialized serial number one of one rifle.
Blake Adams was the winner of the first annual event in 2025 and is also undefeated at the track so far this year, having won both feature races contested so far in 2026. A field of perhaps twenty five to thirty Modified drivers is expected with many of the area's top drivers planning to be in attendance.
As a bonus to the racing fans, not only will they get to see the Modified drivers racing, but the other four classes that race at the speedway including the Super Stocks, Midwest Modifieds, Street Stocks and Pure Stocks will participate in a full program of heats and feature races, thus making for an impressive night of racing.
And to top things off, regular admission prices will be in effect on Saturday, even though it is a special event.
Pit gates will open at 3 pm on Saturday with the spectator gates opening one hour later. The driver's meeting and hot laps are slated for 5:30 pm with racing at 6 pm.
The Rice Lake Speedway is located one mile North of Rice Lake Wisconsin midway between state highway 48 and Barron County highway SS. The race day phone number is 715-236-2002 and for the latest information on the speedway, follow the website at www.ricelakespeedway.net and the face book page.
