Macon Speedway is one of the Midwest’s premier dirt racing facilities and is one of Illinois’ oldest racetracks which opened its doors on April 7th, 1946. Macon Speedway was built and originally operated by Wayne Webb. Opening night featured midget racing through the mid 50’s, then the track went on to feature Super Modifieds which ran into the late 60’s. Next, the Super Stock division which later changed their name to Late Models joined the line up along with Modified, Sportsman, and Street Stock divisions. Macon Speedway is in its 66th year in operation in 2011, one of the oldest businesses in Macon County.

Macon Speedway is a fan favorite race track with many fans coming to the acclaimed track since early childhood. The current owners of Macon Speedway; Tony Stewart, Ken Schrader, Kenny Wallace and Bob Sargent are all very excited about this event and hope to continue to make this Driver Reunion a yearly event where we can honor the drivers in the past who have made Macon Speedway what it is today.
