Monster Energy Sprint Series(Bill W) June 24, 2011 – The Monster Energy™ Sprint Car Series continues to roll on with a successful season, and an “Illinois Speedweek” has now been added to the schedule.  The Speedweek will include five events over five nights beginning Wednesday, July 27 and ending Sunday, July 31.

On Wednesday, July 27, hit the Spoon River Speedway south of Canton, Illinois!  The speeds at Spoon River Speedway are legendary, as are the drivers that have won at the high-banked 3/8-mile facility.  Names like Standridge, Moughan, McCarl, Weyant, Doty, Beechler, Wright and many more have graced Victory Lane at the track sometimes called “Mini-Eldora”, due to its high banks and high speeds!  The event will serve as a preview the “Tom Knowles Memorial” at the facility Saturday, September 17.

On Thursday, July 28, the series will head down to the Tri-City Speedway near Granite City, Illinois.  The series’ scheduled event there on June 17 was lost to showers, and the fans, track officials and drivers are excited about the 3/8-mile racy bullring being part of Speedweek.

On Friday, July 29, Jacksonville Speedway on the Morgan County Fairgrounds in Jacksonville, Illinois will play host.  Terry McCarl took the first series’ feature ever at the ¼-mile banked oval in May!

On Saturday, July 30, another bullring comes into play.  Macon Speedway in Macon, Illinois will host the Monster Energy™ Sprint Car Series for the first time ever!

Finally, on Sunday, July 31, the Shepp’s Speedway near Alexander, Illinois promises more close and tight action.  This will also be the inaugural appearance for the series at Shepp’s!

Stay tuned for plenty of updates concerning “Illinois Speedweek”!

The next scheduled appearance for the Monster Energy™ Sprint Car Series will be Friday, July 1, for the “Leon Smith Memorial” at the Jacksonville Speedway.
