Swedberg's bad luck continues at speedway

Brett Swedberg had a dominant Late Model again Saturday at Shawano Speedway, as he looked to put his troubles behind him and win his first feature of the year. He’d been in position to claim the feature in each of the season’s first two events, but was still without a win. Unfortunately for him, he’s still seeking that first win. Swedberg passed Jeff Curtin for the early lead and motored from the pack.

On ice or dirt, O Show keeps rolling
Though the 2015 racing season is only two point-nights old, it certainly appears that Clintonville racer Matt Oreskovich has asserted himself as a true candidate to win the IMCA Modified point tussle at the famed half-mile speed plant known as the Shawano Speedway. Entering action this Saturday night, the “O Show” has a feature win and a second-place feature finish. Unlike many racers, Oreskovich didn’t come from a racing family.

Ryan might help keep Mathews outside
It’s safe to say Clay Matthews will be playing some inside linebacker this season. The question is, how much? Will he be there a majority of the time, as he was the second half of the regular season? Nearly full time, as he was in the NFC championship game?
