Kelly and Debbie Hafeman, along with partner Ralph Aschenbrenner, had a very successful run promoting Luxemburg Tri-Star Speedway from 1989 through 2001.

The Hafeman's are quick to point to their loyal staff members over the years who helped keep their fast-paced, efficient racing program running smoothly.

A few of the names of those employees and sponsors they may have missed in this story they wanted to give proper credit to include: Joe Faltynski, Pat Truttmann, Dennis Flavion and Kevin Jauquet. Also Porky and Nick DeGrand and Mike Schraufnagel as well.

After the 1988 season, Kewaunee County was seeking a new promoter for their dirt track.

Kelly & Debbie Hafeman, along with partner Ralph Aschenbrenner, answered the bell.

Kelly Hafeman had a front row seat. 41 years after the popular open-wheeled class was introduced to the greater Green Bay area, Hafeman takes us back to the thought process back then and revisits the early days of the IMCA modifieds locally.
