Macon Speedway Looks to Repeat This Saturday Night

Macon, IL – Macon Speedway had a hugely successful Opening Night last Saturday night and is working hard to bring fans and drivers back again this Saturday night for the 2nd of 31 extremely entertaining nights on its impressive schedule. “We had an impressive number of fans and cars that turned out to kick off the season last Saturday night and we hope that they will all join us again this coming Saturday night”, said Bob Sargent owner of Macon Speedway.

Defending 2009 Macon Speedway track champions Kyle Logue and Blake Shelley are expected to make their debuts this Saturday night to start the long awaited season of defending their titles.

Rusty Schlenk of Jackson, MI., held off Jacksonville’s Adam Mefford and Urbana’s Richie Hedrick for the first Late Model feature of 2010.
