Windom Has Broom for USAC Illinois Sweep

By Jay Hardin
Track Enterprises Staff

August 21, 2018-(DuQuoin, IL)-Chris Windom of Canton, Illinois has the proverbial broom ready as he tries for the “Illinois Sweep” in the USAC Silver Crown Series as the big cars make their way to DuQuoin for the annual Ted Horn 100. The 2016 Silver Crown champion led the final 9 miles of the Bettenhausen 100 at Springfield and joined Don Branson and A.J. Fike as the only drivers from central Illinois to win a Bettenhausen 100. Windom, who won at DuQuoin in his championship season, could become the 15th man in 70 years to sweep the championship races at Springfield and DuQuoin.

At Springfield Windom started 13th and made his way toward the front of the field eventually biding his time and riding behind leaders Tyler Courtney, Kevin Thomas Jr. and defending race winner Justin Grant for the better part of 90 miles. On lap 92 Windom sailed into the lead and began pulling away from Thomas Jr. en route to his first Bettenhausen victory. In doing so he stopped the 5-race win streak of USAC point leader Kody Swanson and gave car owner Gene Nolen his first win on the Springfield mile. Nolen joins a list that includes Al Dean, Vel Miletich and Parnelli Jones, A.J. Foyt, Bob Bowes, Bob Wilkie, Ray (Junior) Kurtz, Bob Hampshire, Ralph Depalma and Bob East of entrants who fielded winning cars on all three dirt miles.

Windom told the crowd in the Springfield post-race interview that he knew “the car was good enough to win the whole race.” I’ve run enough of these races now and the pace they were running, wasn’t going to be the pace I could run the last ten laps.” “I just saved the car; the cautions came out like we needed and it worked out in our favor.” With the victory Windom became the seventh driver from Illinois to win a championship race at Springfield since the first event in 1934. Others in addition to Branson and Fike were Tony and Gary Bettenhausen, Emil Andres and Paul Russo.

At DuQuoin Windom will be trying for the 23rd Illinois mile sweep since the DuQuoin “Magic Mile” joined the national championship lineup in 1948. Tony Bettenhausen first turned the trick in 1951, A.J. Foyt, Jack Hewitt and Chuck Gurney each pulled off the sweep three times, Jimmy Bryan and Mario Andretti did so twice. The last driver to sweep the Illinois dirt miles was Brian Tyler in 2008.

Windom’s experience at DuQuoin should make him one of the favorites coming into the Ted Horn 100. He led 17 laps in 2013 before running out of fuel and finishing 6th. In 2014 he led 3 laps before an accident ended his night 11 miles from the finish. A second in 2015 was followed by 30 leading laps and victory in 2016. Last year Windom qualified fourth and ran strong until ignition woes sidelined him on lap 80. Owner Gene Nolen has positive experience at DuQuoin as well. Johnny Parsons won in the Nolen V-6 in 1992 setting a 100-mile track record that still stands. The late Tony Elliot won driving for Nolen in 1999. Parsons also won the pole for Nolen in 1992.

Practice for the Ted Horn 100 and the Silver Crown machines begins on the Magic Mile at 5 p.m. Sunday, September 3. Qualifications are set for approximately 6:30 with the start of the annual Ted Horn 100 slated for 8 p.m.

ARCA Point Leaders Hoping DuQuoin Win Leads to Title

By Jay Hardin

Track Enterprises Staff

August 24, 2018-DuQuoin, IL-Sheldon Creed of Alpine, California and Zane Smith of Huntington Beach, California occupy the top two slots in the 2018 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menard’s point standings. Both have yet to turn 21 and both are hoping that a victory in the General Tire Grabber presented by Federated Auto Parts 100 at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds can be a stepping stone to a first ARCA national championship. The annual Labor Day weekend grind on the southern Illinois dirt mile has vaulted several men to national stock car championships in the past and this year may be no exception.

Twenty-three times since 1950 the winner of the 100-mile stock car race at DuQuoin has gone on to a national stock car title, representing sixteen different drivers. The American Automobile Association sanctioned the first three stock car events at DuQuoin, Jay Frank (1950) and Frank Mundy (1955) were the two DuQuoin winners of that era that went on to AAA stock car titles.

The United States Auto Club sanctioned events at DuQuoin’s “Magic Mile” from 1956 through 1984. Jerry Unser (1957) won the USAC title that year helping propel him to a ride at the Indianapolis 500 the next year. Fred Lorenzen won two DuQuoin events (1958 & 1959) and USAC championships in the same year. The Elmhurst, Illinois driver would go on to NASCAR fame as the “Golden Boy”. Michigan driver Paul Goldsmith also won back to back races (1961 & 1962) and USAC stock car titles. Goldsmith also had a stellar NASCAR career and multiple starts in the Indianapolis 500.

It took over ten years before a DuQuoin win would contribute to a national stock car championship. Ohio’s Butch Hartman won five USAC crowns in the 1970’s and three straight (1973-75) 100 mile races at DuQuoin. Victories in 1973 and 1974 helped Butch to two of the five national titles. Paul Feldner was a USAC veteran by the time he won at DuQuoin in 1977, a win that lifted him to his only national title. Dean Roper won at DuQuoin in 1981 and 1983 and USAC championships in the same years. Fellow Show Me State resident Dave Goldsberry won the first 200-miler at DuQuoin in 1984 and clinched the title with that win, by virtue of the season finale being washed out.

ARCA solely sanctioned DuQuoin events starting in 1985 and Lee Raymond’s 200 mile win led to his 1985 ARCA title. Bob Kesleowski won both in 1989 as did Bob Brevak in 1990. Frank Kimmel won five times at DuQuoin with four of those wins (2001, 2002, 2004 & 2005) contributing to his national titles.

Sheldon Creed gained about sixty points on Zane Smith at the Allen Crowe 100 at Springfield as a result of Creed’s second place run and Smith dropping out. The General Tire Grabber 100 could add to Creed’s point lead or allow Smith to close the gap in the 2018 ARCA chase.

The ARCA point battle is all part of a holiday doubleheader weekend of racing, featuring USAC Silver Crown on Sunday, September 2 and the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards on Monday, September 3. The DIRTcar Modifieds will race prelims on Sunday and their feature on Monday. Tony Stewart and Ken Schrader will battle with the other strong Modified competitors in the Bill Oldani event.

Tickets will be available at the gate on race day or fans can purchase advance sale discount tickets by calling the Du Quoin State Fair box office at 618-542-1535 or the Track Enterprises office at 217-764-3200. Full event information can be found at www.trackenterprises.com.

Schrader, Stewart Return for DuQuoin Modified Challenge
By Jay Hardin
Track Enterprises Staff

DuQuoin, IL-August 26, 2018-Two of the most prolific and popular racing drivers in motorsport history return to a small piece of southern Illinois real estate Labor Day weekend to challenge a number of area short track stars in the 25th running of the Bill Oldani Memorial UMP Modified race at the DuQuoin State Fair. Twenty-seven competitors made the trek to the “Magic Mile” in 2017 and a similar number is expected on the grounds Labor Day weekend.

Two-time USAC national champion and past NASCAR Rookie of the Year, Ken Schrader, of Fenton, Missouri headlines the 2018 entry list along with past NASCAR, IndyCar and USAC champion Tony Stewart of Columbus, Indiana. Schrader tied Brian Shaw’s record five wins in last year’s Labor Day Oldani Memorial leading all 20 laps from the pole after winning his heat race in just over three minutes time Sunday evening. Stewart, who missed heat race competition due to a NASCAR commitment at Darlington, started twenty-sixth in the field and worked his way to second at the end but was unable to wrestle the lead from teammate Schrader.

The drive was reminiscent of Stewart’s inaugural run in the Oldani Memorial in 2011. Joe Cooksey helped set up the car on Sunday night and Monday Stewart started dead last in the 24 car field. By midway he was challenging for a top three spot and the battle he and Matt Mevert of Steelville had for second was one of the best races for position in Oldani history. Stewart also finished second in 2011.

Last year it was Owensboro, Kentucky’s Tyler Nicely finishing third, followed by Paducah, Kentucky’s J.R. Mason and veteran Steve Adams of Humboldt, Illinois.

It’s all part of the holiday doubleheader weekend of racing, featuring USAC Silver Crown on Sunday, September 2 and the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards on Monday, September 3. The DIRTcar Modifieds will race prelims on Sunday and their feature on Monday. Tony Stewart and Ken Schrader will battle with the other strong Modified competitors in the Bill Oldani event.

Racing in Ted Horn 100 at DuQuoin is “Relative”
By Jay Hardin
Track Enterprises Staff

August 27, 2018-DuQuoin, Il-Sons, grandsons, nephews, great nephews, the family relationships of Ted Horn 100 competitors at the DuQuoin State Fair continues a tradition of passing the torch to a new generation or competing against family on the “Magic Mile” dirt oval. In 2018 there are no less than nine entered drivers on the USAC Silver Crown entry list for the Ted Horn 100 who have a family member that ran one form of race car on the DuQuoin oval. It is a “family tradition” that dates back to the 1950’s.

Grizzled veteran Paul Russo of Chicago had a career that began before World War II when he finished last in the first DuQuoin race in 1948. His best finish, second, came a month later in the race that took the life of Ted Horn. Five years later he got to compete against nephew Eddie in the 1953 Ted Horn 100, with uncle Paul finishing 14th and Eddie finishing 15th. In 1959, Dick Rathmann joined brother Jim as siblings who made the Horn 100, but Jim and Dick never competed against each other at DuQuoin.

Family relationships blossomed during the 1960’s. Jerry Unser won a stock car event at DuQuoin in 1957 and missed the Horn 100 the next day. Younger brother Bobby finished 4th in his rookie year of 1964, three years later baby brother Al joined Bobby in the starting lineup. In 1967 the first son followed his father into the Horn 100 field, son Billy finished 5th in 1967 while father Bill had a 3rd in 1952. One year later it was son Gary following in father Tony’s footsteps. In 1980 Gary joined Tony as father and son winners of the Ted Horn 100.

During the 1970’s half-brothers Pancho Carter and Johnny Parsons competed against each other at the Magic Mile and both would eventually win the Ted Horn 100. Both sons followed their famous fathers Duane and Johnnie into the Horn 100 starting lineup. The decade also saw brothers Steve and Larry Cannon suit up and run on the DuQuoin clay.

Other combinations followed in the next four decades. Bill and son Billy Puterbaugh, Mike and son Mike Mosely Jr., Billy Vukovich III joining father and grandfather, 2003 winner Richie Tobias eclipsing father Dick “Toby” Tobias, Jeff Swindell joined Sammy on the list of brothers in the Horn 100 as did the Fike brothers in 2003.

Family ties to racing at DuQuoin are never more evident than in 2018. For example, Springfield’s Korey Weyant joins great uncle Chuck on the list of Horn 100 drivers, Chuck’s first start came in 1952. Joey Moughan’s uncle Jim ran Silver Crown cars at DuQuoin while Joe Ligouri’s grandfather Ralphs first start came in 1957. Jackie Burke joins fellow Texan Ronnie as members of the Burke family at DuQuoin and C.J. Leary follows in the footsteps of father Chuck. Austin Nemire’s grandfather Jerry had 14 starts in the Horn 100 and stock car starts on the mile as well. Even two-time winner Shane Cockrum of Benton has a connection, father Cliff ran supermodifieds on the DuQuoin mile in the early 70’s.

Relativity will be on display again Sunday night in the Ted Horn 100 at DuQuoin. It’s all part of the holiday doubleheader weekend of racing, featuring USAC Silver Crown on Sunday night, September 2 and the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards on Monday, September 3. The DIRTcar Modifieds will race prelims on Sunday and their feature on Monday. Tony Stewart and Ken Schrader will battle with the other strong Modified competitors in the Bill Oldani event.

Tickets will be available at the gate on raceday or fans can purchase advance sale discount tickets by calling the Du Quoin State Fair box office at 618-542-1535 or the Track Enterprises office at 217-764-3200. Full event information can be found at www.trackenterprises.com
 
Springfield Dirt Winner Christian Eckes Takes on DuQuoin’s Magic Mile with New Found Confidence
AUGUST 29, 2018

Concord, North Carolina (August 29, 2018) – Two weeks ago if you asked Christian Eckes about making his second ever career dirt race start and his chances on the Springfield mile he would’ve told you he had “no chance of winning.” Well, that was then and this is now. Eckes, 17, shocked himself and added his name to a long list of ARCA dirt winners with little or no dirt experience prior to his unlikely victory at Springfield earlier in the month.

“This is what makes the ARCA series so great,” Eckes said. “The series is so diverse and gives drivers like myself the opportunity to learn new skills racing on all different type of tracks. I truly expected to just run that one out at Springfield. Going up against guys with so much dirt experience like Logan Seavey and Sheldon Creed can be an uphill battle. But I proved to myself I can get it done.”

Eckes, a member of Toyota Racing’s TD2 program, returns to the dirt with new found confidence and his No.15 JBL Audio Toyota team for the Labor Day running of the General Tire Grabber presented by Federated Auto Parts 100 at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds.

“I’m still not calling myself a dirt track driver but I definitely have a lot more confidence going into this weekend. I learned a ton at Springfield. I was almost two-seconds back during practice. But I watched the other guys with more experience and picked up a bunch. Once I followed people who knew what they were doing I figured it out and got a lot better. After that my racing instincts took over.”

“I’m really looking forward to DuQuoin,” added Eckes. “This fifteen-team has been on a roll this year. Kevin Reed and the Venturini Motorsports guys have done a heck of a job giving me the best shot every week. I’ll do my part this week. Hopefully we can steal another one on the dirt,” said Eckes with a smirk.

Eckes, a two-time ARCA series winner, has 24-career series starts to his credit. Monday’s matinee on the DuQuoin dirt mile will mark the teen’s 11th series appearance of the 2018 campaign. Eckes has led 250-laps on the season and 510 overall since making his ARCA debut at Nashville in 2016.

In his last outing at Berlin Raceway, Eckes led a race high 43-laps and seemingly on his way to his third career victory before blowing his left front tire inside the final 20-laps of the race. He finished 11th.

ARCA, considered the most versatile and leading auto racing sanctioning bodies in the country, has run 358 dirt races since the series’ inception in 1953. Of Venturini Motorsports’ 49-series victories, the longtime series team has earned five wins on dirt - three at Springfield and two at DuQuoin since 2010 – Steve Arpin (DuQuoin ’10), Brennan Poole (Springfield ’13), Kevin Swindell (Springfield ’14), Tom Hessert (DuQuoin ’16) and Christian Eckes (Springfield ’18).

The ARCA race at Du Quoin is all part of a holiday doubleheader weekend of racing, featuring USAC Silver Crown on Sunday, September 2 and the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards on Monday, September 3. The race will start at 2:00PM CDT and will air live on MAVTV.
