The purse for Aug. 14’s King of the Fair at The Hill Raceway, the first Late Model event at the Sturgeon Bay, Wis., track in 18 years, has been boosted to $5,000-to-win thanks to sponsorship from Seubert Calf Ranches, the Wabam Dirt Kings Tour announced today. The event was originally listed as $1,500-to-win.

“We’re incredibly grateful to Mike Seubert and everyone at Seubert Calf Ranches for stepping up in such a big way,” said series promoter Jason Shultz. “This kind of support not only elevates the King of the Fair but helps us continue to grow the series and support the teams that make it all possible.”
