(Macon, IL) Macon Speedway welcomes the 95Q team and the 95Q Pit Party this Saturday, June 30, as part of a power-packed night of racing for all weekly UMP divisions with a special focus on the UMP Late Models and BARBECK Communications Modifieds in the Firecracker 40s.
40-lap features for both the Late Models and Modifieds will highlight a full night of racing with all UMP divisions in attendance.
