The ASA Midwest Sportsman Tour and the entire ASA Midwest Tour family, would like to extend our condolences to the family of Chris Ehrhart. Chris was one of central Wisconsin's most well known Sportsman competitors and one of the first registered members of the newly formed ASA Midwest Sportsman Tour for 2010.

"I knew Chris when I was the promoter at Madison and he raced in our Sportsman Division. He was a tremendous driver, full of passion and competitiveness. When he signed up for the Sportsman Tour, I just knew he would be one of the toughest guys on the Tour and I am just devastated over this loss in the racing community," stated a saddened Steve Einhaus, ASAMT Vice President

Funeral arrangements are pending and will be posted as soon as they become available.
