March 6, 2025 – Slinger, WI – Three cheers for Travis and Kelsey Dassow, the new owners of Slinger Speedway.
According to a post on social media, “We are delighted to announce that Slinger Speedway is now under new ownership. We, Kelsey and Travis Dassow, would love to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves as the new owners.
This opportunity of owning Slinger Speedway was a dream that became a reality for us. We believe change brings fresh perspectives and new opportunities. As owners, we will keep the family tradition of Sunday night racing.
Travis and I have had the passion for racing since we were young. We both were successful in go-kart racing and both moved up to racing cars in the Late Model and Super Late Model Divisions. Eventually, we crossed paths at Slinger Speedway, and years later we married.
While I attended UW-Milwaukee for Engineering, I was awarded the Alan Kulwicki Memorial Scholarship in 2011 and 2012. That sponsorship gave me the opportunity to become friends with the Kulwicki family and to carry on his legacy.
Both Travis and I continued to be involved in the sport of racing, as car and team owners of Apex Motorsports and now we are track owners. Slinger Speedway has come full circle in our lives and will continue to be a part of our family. Our two children, Harlie (5) and Easton (8) love our life of racing, and Easton has been racing go-karts for two years.
Travis and I also own another business, TD Graphics, with Travis managing that business and I am an engineer.
As we begin this new chapter, we want to THANK those who have supported us over the years:
-Our parents and other family members who supported us in every way
-Those who were car owners who allowed us to drive their cars and worked with us with enthusiasm
-All of those who spent a lot of time working on the car and being at the races so that we could be successful racers
-All of those who sponsored us over the years, allowing us to continue to follow our dreams
-All of the fans who have followed our racing careers and supported us
-The staff at Slinger Speedway
-Todd and Elizabeth Thelen, who have been tremendous in the transition to our ownership. They have poured their heart and soul into the track and made this an easy decision to want to carry on the legacy of Slinger Speedway.
We look forward to the 2025 racing season at Slinger Speedway!
Kelsey & Travis Dassow
