MACON, Ill. – Casey’s General Store teamed up with Macon Speedway for Casey’s General Stores/Armed Forces Night at the legendary fifth-mile high-banked oval on Saturday, May 31, when fans and soldiers can take advantage of special pricing on general admission tickets.
Vouchers for $2 off admission are available at participating Decatur area Casey’s General Stores, and each participating store has a drawing for two free tickets to Casey’s General Stores/Armed Forces Night. Also, military personnel with an ID receive half-price admission, and military in uniform are admitted free.
Casey’s, Famous for pizza. The message can be seen on the backstretch billboard, but Casey’s will remind Macon Speedway race fans the convenience store is the nation’s fifth-largest pizza chain when Pepperoni Pete makes an appearance at the track. Casey’s personnel will also help race fans spin the lucky wheel for prizes. Merchandise will also be distributed during intermission.
In conjunction with Armed Forces Night, Casey’s personnel will also raise money for Hope For The Warriors, whose mission is to enhance the quality of life for post-9/11 service members, their families, and families of the fallen who have sustained physical and psychological wounds in the line of duty. Hope For The Warriors is dedicated to restoring a sense of self, restoring the family unit and restoring hope for our service members and our military families.
