(Macon, IL) Macon Speedway is excited to announce the popular Midwest Big Ten Series will be back in action this Saturday night at Macon Speedway as part of the Christmas in July Toy Drive event sponsored by the Prairie Land Abate. Morgan County Speedway, Jacksonville, IL, and Shepps Speedway, Alexander, IL have teamed up with Macon Speedway for our promotion, the “Midwest Big Ten Series”. The three tracks will host a series of races to be held in the 2009 racing season, the dates of the 3 remaining races to be held at Macon Speedway are this Saturday, July 18, July 25 and August 22. Shepps Speedway will host their two remaining races on Sunday, July 26 and August 23. Morgan County will host its remaining night on Friday, August 14. Each of the ten races will include 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!
So far with four of the ten races down our point’s leader is Steve Sheppard Jr. racing his #5S Late Model. Closing in on Sheppard is his son, Brandon Sheppard in his 5B and Chris Dick in his #22 Late Model. This weekend’s events will be crucial for all three drivers to sustain their point’s leads. Not far behind the top three is Macon Speedway’s Kyle Logue of Cisco, IL driving his #21 Sav Mor Pharmacy Late Model. Join in the fun as these drivers compete in the 25 lap feature event.
