(Macon, IL) In just two days, NASCAR Stars Clint Bowyer, Kevin Harvick, Kenny Wallace and Ken Schrader will be at Macon Speedway to meet local grassroots racing fans and compete against some of the most highly competitive racers in the region.

Northern Allstars Late Model Series brings to Macon Speedway high horsepower, high energy late model racing at its finest. More than 40 late models are anticipated for the event on Monday when NASCAR stars will also be piloting powerful late model cars around the fast 1/5 mile. Current NALMS points leader Steve Shephard is a force to contend with coming into Macon with a comfortable lead over second place holder Randy Korte. Terry Babb, a Macon regular, is seventh in the Northern Allstars Late Model Series points.

UMP Modifieds are also on the schedule for the Monday night event bringing the anticipated car count at Macon to well over 100 cars. UMP Modified racing is action packed and extremely competitive throughout the country with a substantial national points fund up for grabs. Kent Robinson is the current national point leader in the UMP Modified division. Central Illinois racer Jeff Leka presently leads UMP Modified points for the state of Illinois and the North Region. He is second nationally. The Modified lineup on Monday night will be sprinkled with NASCAR stars as well. Kenny Wallace chalked up a UMP Modified win at Peoria Speedway on Wednesday, May 23.

Good seats are still available for the May 28 Night of NASCAR Stars at Macon Speedway. Tickets will be on sale Monday and seats are $25 for adults - $5 for children 12 and under. Pit passes will be sold the day of the event for $30.00.

Gates to Macon Speedway will open at 3:00 PM on Monday, May 28. The first 500 fans to enter the Speedway will receive a cap courtesy of Jeg’s. Autographs will be signed between 4:30 and 5:30 on a “first-come, first-serve” basis. Cars take to the track for time trials at 6:00 and the first heat races will roll at 6:30.
