Sportsman used(I think they still do) to run with Arca. They have several qualifying nights at area tracks and also a non-qualifiers race the day of. The Mod thing must be something new cuz the last I knew of them running the mile was when they had the Fall Nationals at the track.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]IL State Fair Weekend is Just Around the Corner
Posted Monday, July 26, 2010 by Track
The 'Cream of the Crop" of dirt track auto races takes center stage at the
157th annual Illinois State Fair with the Golden Edition of the Tony
Bettenhausen 100 for the USAC K&N Silver Crown Championship
Series cars on Saturday August 21 and the 48th Allen Crowe 100 featuring the
ARCA RE/MAX-Menard's Stock Car Series on Sunday August 22, 2010. Local stars
also take to the "World's Fastest Mile Dirt
Track" both days with the second leg of the UMP Modified Triple Crown slated
for Saturday with the inaugural Illini Dash Saturday and the 17th running of
the Sportsman Nationals on Sunday.
Defending Tony Bettenhausen 100 race winner Cole Whitt became the youngest
race victor in Illinois State Fair history in 2009 and unfortunately will
miss the 50th running of the Bettenhausen 100 as he has moved to the NASCAR
K&N Pro Series However, three time Bettenhausen 100 winner Dave Darland and
current USAC Silver Crown point leader Bud Kaeding are expected to lead a
field of approximately 40 competitors to Springfield for a national
championship dirt track tradition that began back in 1934! A number of local
competitors are expected in for the 100-mile grind which took the name in
memory of the late Tinley Park great who was lost in a practice crash at
Indianapolis in 1961. Springfield's own Donnie Beechler and Mike Hess are
expected to return to big mile dirt track as is Elkhart's Chris Urish and
Galesburg's A.J. Fike.
UMP Modified racers join the Illinois State Fair lineup for the first time
but have seen action on the track in the Illinois Fall Nationals race
formerly held in September. Two time Fall Nationals modified winner
Jeff Leka is an expected entrant for the second leg of the triple crown, the
first leg was held at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in May and won by Ken
Schrader and concludes with the Bill Oldani Memorial at
DuQuoin on Labor Day.
Sunday the action turns to stock cars and seven time Allen Crowe 100 winner
Frank Kimmel headlines a stellar field of fendered machines for the 48th
edition of this prestigious memorial event. Like the Bettenhausen, the
defending winner of the Crowe 100 has moved on with young Parker Kligerman
now in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. Current ARCA point leader Justin Marks
is looking for his first dirt win while Patrick Sheltra is a dirt late model
veteran and one of the favorites to capture his first 100-mile dirt track
event. Traditionally a number of local drivers enhance the field with
entries and Springfie1d's Kel1y Kovksi is expected for the 48th Crowe 100 as
is Centralia's Joe Cooksey, Arenzeville's Mark Littleton and Galesburg's
A.J. Fike.
Joining the ARCA cars are the ever popular sportsman stock cars for the 17th
running of the Sportsman Nationals. Springfield's Dennis Vandermeersch
waited ten years to win his third event in 2008 and backed that up with win
number 4 in 2009. He is expected to return and attempt to join Wes O'Dell as
one of two five time winners of the event.
Tickets for both days are on sale now and can be obtained at the Illinois
State Fair Box Office, Ticketmaster locations or at Track Enterprises by
calling 217-764-3200.
