Ted Horn 100 at DuQuoin Cancelled for 2009
MACON, IL (Sept, 8) - It is with deep regret that Bob Sargent and Track
Enterprises announce that we will be unable to reschedule the 59th Ted Horn
100 at DuQuoin in 2009.
"Mother Nature was very kind to us three of the four dates we had scheduled
at the Illinois and DuQuoin State Fairs but she really threw us for a loop
on September 6 when 2 inches of rain fell that morning on the 'Magic Mile'
at DuQuoin", said Track Enterprises CEO Bob Sargent. "We looked at every way
possible to run the race on its original date but the damage to the track
and the pit area was just too severe." "We then met with all the parties
involved, USAC and the DuQuoin State Fair management and unfortunately we
were unable to find an alternative date suitable for everyone."
"We really hoped to find an alternative date and we remain committed to
bringing the best of USAC and ARCA racing to all three of the dirt miles
that we promote", continued Sargent. 'I know our race fans will understand
the factors involved in this decision and can look forward to the Ted Horn
100 in 2010."
This is the third time since 1948 a championship dirt car race at DuQuoin
was not held due to a rain out, the first came in 1950 and the next in 1962,
each time a suitable rain date could not be found.
Race fans can receive a refund by mailing their tickets to Track Enterprises
at PO Box 79, Macon, IL 62544 along with their name and address to mail a
refund check to. For additional questions please contact Track Enterprises
