(Macon, IL) Macon Speedway welcomes 95Q Saturday, July 3, as part of an action-packed night of racing for all of our 6 regular weekly UMP divisions with a special focus on the UMP Late Models and UMP Modifieds in the Firecracker 40’s. 40-lap features for both the Late Models & Modified divisions will highlight the evening, and if two huge features were not enough, fans at Macon Speedway will be wowed with a huge fireworks display in honor of Independence Day.

The UMP Late Models will be racing for $1,200 to win plus the top finishing Crate Late Model will receive a $100 bonus. UMP Late Model driver Jeremy Nichols has a small point lead over Jim Moon in his #1 Late Model. They are both hoping to beat last year’s winner Brandon Sheppard to the finish line this Saturday night to bring home the checkered flag. The UMP Modified division will be racing for $600 to win. Last year’s Firecracker 40 winner in the Modified division was Jeremy Nichols. The UMP Modified race is even tighter as Aaron Burcham leads Davey Crawley by a mere 6 points. Macon Speedway provides a thrilling combination of edge-of-your-seat racing action, fun and exciting promotions, and wholesome family entertainment each and every Saturday night. With 95Q and the Firecracker 40’s, Saturday, July 3rd will be no exception. There is something for everyone to enjoy at Macon Speedway!
