Ice Racing on the Radio Returns February 13th!

Matt Schow celebrates a heat win on January 23rd.

It's back again for 2016! Ice Racing on the Radio coverage returns for the 4th year in a row from Cameron Lake in Erskine, Mn. While my #RacingontheRadio Colleagues (Mike and Corey) are sweating their butts off in the Florida heat helping out Racefeed X, I look forward to getting back in to the racing action with the great group from the the Cameron Lake Ice Racing Association. Coverage will begin at about 11:45am on KKCQ 1480AM with the green flag dropping at noon. There will be two full shows (Heats, B-main, Feature).

Some of the names of the drivers might be recognizable as well to dirt track fans. All three Schow brothers (Matt, Ryan, Tyler) are driving this year along with the often dominant Doyle Erickson, Bill Beckman, Ryan Osowski, Thomas Arndt, and more.

The Cameron Lake Ice Racing Association had their first race of the season on January 16th and continues each Saturday typically until March. Spectating the races is free and concessions are usually available.

Speaking from experience the races are always a blast, the drivers are super nice, and the Cameron Lake Ice Racing Association is a pleasure to work with! And on February 13th, you'll be able to watch the races from the comfort of your vehicle and listen to the play by play on KKCQ 1480-AM.

If you are interested in sponsoring the race broadcast, please feel free to contact Don Brinkman at 218-435-1919 or Jim or Mark (myself) at 218-784-2844.
