POWRi/Illini D-II Midgets Part Of Five Buck Night At Macon Speedway
This coming Saturday night, September 24, Macon IL Speedway will be welcoming fans from all over with a special fan appreciation night, offering $5 grandstand admission, a $5 concession combo, and a special on beer. The night will be action packed with seven divisions of racing on the card, racing for important points on the next to last night of the season at the 1/5-mile speed plant. Among them will be the POWRi/Illini D-II Midgets and the non-sanction Beach House Micros.
Making a return this week will be the excitable POWRi/Illini D-II Midgets, as they make their final Macon appearance of the year. The D-II's have put on some stellar shows throughout the Midwest this year, racing mainly at Lincoln, Macon, and Jacksonville Speedways. Champaign, IL driver Patrick Bruns leads the standings by 150 over Tyler Vantoll. Bruns has won ten out of the 23 features in 2016. A solid field is expected this weekend, as the series hasn't run since September 2 at Lincoln.
A late addition to this week's program was the Beach House Micros. The 600cc Winged Outlaw division, has run several times at Macon this season and due to a strong car count and great racing last Saturday, the division was added to the September 24th event. In the non-sanctioned events at the track, Garrett Duff, Tyler Day, Jeremy Camp, and Tyler Vantoll have claimed victories.
Pit gates will open this Saturday at 4:00, grandstands at 5:00, drivers meeting will be 5:45, hotlaps will begin at 6:00, and racing will take the green at 7:00. Grandstand admission is $5 for adults and free for kids 11 and under.
