PRESS RELEASE
Southeastern Wisconsin Short Track Hall of Fame
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The Southeastern Wisconsin Short Track Hall of
Fame is proud to announce the names of its third group of short track
legends to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, on November 7, 2009. The
induction ceremony will be part of a gala banquet affair to be held at the
Schauer Performing Arts Center, at the Wisconsin Automotive Museum in
Hartford, Wisconsin. The ten new inductees join the forty other short track
racing legends who were previously inducted in the first two years of the
Hall of Fame’s existence based on a Board of Directors vote.
This year’s group was elected into the Hall of Fame by those who subscribe
to the Vintage Modified Stock Car Newsletter. Based on the overwhelming
response of the subscribers, with votes for 160 plus different persons
associated with short track racing in Southeastern Wisconsin, all can be
assured that careful consideration and much thought was given to those who
eventually were elected to the Hall of Fame and will continue to be so in the
future.
The ten inductees for 2009 will be Dick Colburn, Ron Luedtke, Norm Nelson,
Tom Pogo, Bob Robel, Ted Rozinski Sr., Al Schill, Don Schuppel, Bill
Schwister and Gib Wiser. All are to be congratulated on their nomination and
eventual induction to the Hall of Fame.
