Youngster Brandon Sheppard had his best showing ever at Macon Speedway

MACON, IL (July 19) - In a race where no one could find the right racing groove, Kyle Logue showed why he’s the face of Macon Speedway. The leader by far in Big Ten MidWest series standings, Logue picked up win number seven of the year. Logue’s late model ran smooth through the corners when no one else could get a handle on the track.

“I like it. I could stay on the throttle all the way through the corner.” Logue said.
Youngster Brandon Sheppard had his best showing ever at Macon Speedway, he finished second one spot in front of his dad, Late Model star and multi-feature winner Steve Sheppard Jr.

Late model contender Jayme Zidar was serving a one race suspension for his antics last week. It was a costly penalty as Logue now moves into first place in championship standings and lengthens his lead in the Big Ten MidWest Series standings.

Dave Crawley got his fourth feature win of the year in the BARBECK Communications Modifieds. Crawley started up front and held the lead start to finish. Jeremy Nichols found himself in the same position as he was in Friday night's race, second place with the leader pulling away. It was another good points run for Jim Leka, his third place finish will keep him near the top of the standings. Best fan in the stands driver Roger Drake picked Jeff Drake as his best fan, earning them both a $100 prize.

Scott Landers couldn't hold off Rick Roedel's late race charge, his first Hogan Grain/KUBOTA sportsman win at Macon Speedway. The winner of the sportsman feature qualifies for the Sportsman Championship race at the Springfield Mile. Roedel had take second place away from Tim Bedinger and set his sights on the lead. Using patience and a fast high line, Roedel passed Landers with ten laps to go. Tim Bedinger was with the leaders throughout the race but finished in third.

Jeff Graham made an impressive rebound. His sportsman was took a beating today in both the heat and the feature. But with some pit repairs and some tough driving, he turned what could've been a DNS into a fifth place finish. It's that kind of dedication that has him atop the sportsman championship standings.

Steve Ewing almost gave away a street stock feature win with a last lap bobble in turn two. But coming out of turn four on the top of the racetrack kept Ewing out of trouble. Terry Reed, who led going into the turn, got turned around coming off the last turn. Racecars piled up behind, except for Ewing who got away clean.
