STM Motorsports is led by Dearborn County Sheriff Shane McHenry and family.

McHenry tells Eagle Country that he, his wife, and their four kids will be heavily involved in working at the track. Many others have reached out to lend a helping hand as McHenry continues to put a team in place ahead of the 2024 season.

McHenry, who stays busy as Sheriff and a referee at local high school sporting events, addressed the "elephant in the room" by answering the question many may have, "how is he going time to do this?"

McHenry also spoke about his passion for racing which extends well throughout his family. His uncle, JD Largent, is a track legend at Lawrenceburg Speedway. McHenry even drove himself in the early 2000's. He reflected on winning a race on August 16, 2003, which was just three days before his son, Corbin was born. He currently races Pure Stocks. Looking ahead to the 2024 season, McHenry said the schedule and classes will stay pretty close to the same, which includes Sprint Cars, Hornets, Pure Stocks and Modifieds.

Other plans include upgrades at the track. McHenry looks forward to having a great partnership with the City of Lawrenceburg, which owns the track. Per the resolution approved on Monday, "the City agrees to engage a professional to to create a plan for installing new dirt and resurfacing the track pursuant to the mutual wishes of the City and STM, to be completed as soon as is reasonably practical."

They don’t get as many cars with the midgets during midget week, it’s kinda hard on motors.

That's fine and dandy but fact remains is about five shows make or break a season and having a successful WoO show is one of them.

So is Midget week. It don't interfere with anything .
