Milwaukee Entry Form

The Official Entry form for the upcoming 48 lap Big 8 Late Model Series presented by Gandrud Chevrolet event on Tuesday July 9 at the Milwaukee Mile during the Swiss Colony Howie Lettow Memorial is now available online at www.big8series.com. The event which drew 47 of the "Top Weekly Warriors" for the 2012 edition will once again start 40 cars with guaranteed starting spots tied to drivers' weekly performances at weekly short tracks across the region in addition to those that qualify in by time and race their way onto the starting grid through the last chance event. Jeremy Miller took home the winner's loot last June, the 2013 event will mark the richest payout in series history as the winner will not only pocket $2,000 but can build upon that total through the Weekly Warrior Wages Program, which rewards drivers for weekly and series wins, track point standings and Championships. An open practice is scheduled for Monday July 8 as teams and fans alike will be treated a 38 Special Concert that evening, all leading up to Tuesday's on-track action which will see the Big 8 cars join the ARCA Midwest Tour, Mid-American Stock Cars, Midwest Trucks and Vintage Racing.
