Flat track racing and its stars are focus of award-winning Madison film, ‘Angels Of Dirt’
When Charlotte Kainz started to draw as a toddler, she didn’t doodle rainbows or stick people or sun rays on the page. Kainz, of West Allis, drew what she loved: an XR750, a Harley-Davidson racing motorcycle. That’s the bike Kainz would eventually ride to a career in professional flat track racing.

Starting Pitcher Chart – July 1st, 2024
The updated rankings are done! They will be live Monday. Sorry for the delay that led to no official June update. I’ll update again after the Trade Deadline. We also have our shortest slate of the season so far with just 3 games, too, so I decided to put the 2-start chart here instead of splitting the posts. I usually split if the Monday chart is taking a while and I need to get to bed, but obviously a 6-man board doesn’t take much time. Start Gore & Brown, maaaaybe consider Peterson in some spots and stay away from the other 3! That said, I will still give you the chart with the info so you can make you own decisions. Maybe you’re hoping for a cheap win from Wilson in Coors since Milwaukee is so good. I have an unreasonable soft spot for him and even I’m not really giving him any consideration.
