The Fillner family operated the track and made several improvements to the pits and upper concession areas. In 2001 Chicago area businessman Terry Kunes purchased the racetrack and hired Roy Kenseth to be the promoter. After two seasons Roy Kenseth started RK Promotions and decided to leave the track. Steve Einhaus was hired to fill the void left by Kenseth. In 2007 Einhaus will be focusing his attention on the newly formed ASA Midwest Super Late Model Series. Track promotions have been turned over to long time competitor and official Dave Grueneberg.
