MACON, IL (August 28) - Macon Speedway teamed up with Morgan County Speedway and Shepps Speedway to promote the Midwest Big Ten Series for the 2009 racing season. Although there is plenty of excellent racing still on the schedule at Macon Speedway, this Saturday night will be the final race in the series of 10 races held throughout the summer. Each of the ten races includes larger winnings to the winner of the feature. At the end of the season the points each driver has accumulated in those 10 races will be totaled and there will be $10,000 distributed throughout the top ten Late Models with the top point fund winner taking home another $3,000! With only one race left our point’s leader is Steve Sheppard Jr. racing his #5 Late Model. Steve has consistently lead the point standings all season long with stellar performances in each of the 9 races completed. Staying close behind is his son, Brandon Sheppard in his 5B and Kyle Logue in his Sav Mor Pharmacy #21 Late Model. Both Brandon Sheppard and Kyle Logue have tried to close in on Steve throughout the 2009 season at no avail, maybe Saturday night they will close the gap. Not far behind the top three is Macon Speedway’s Chris Dick of Springfield, IL who is currently sitting in second place behind Kyle Logue for the point’s race at Macon Speedway. Gates will open at 5, with Late Model qualifying to begin at 7. Also don’t miss the UMP Modifieds, Touchstone Energy Sportsman, Street Stocks and Pro & Amateur Hornets. Don’t miss our Night of Nascar Stars II featuring Tony Stewart, Ken Schrader, Kenny Wallace and Mark Martin on September 2. We have plenty of good seats still available by calling 217-764-3000.
