RAINOUT DATE RESET
(Monday, April 23)
Due to a scheduling
conflict Fairbury will not race this Friday, April 27 as previously announced.
We have
rescheduled the Northern All-star race for July 21
along with our $1500 to
win modified special. Sorry for any inconvenience we have caused. Save
your rain checks and pit passes they will be honored for that weekend.

On Saturday June 9th, the Fairbury American Legion Speedway will hold another modified special. $1000 to win and $100 to start for the modifieds. Fairbury is contacting other local tracks to maybe schedule other modified specials this same weekend.
NALMS RACING POSTPONED TO FRIDAY, APRIL 27
(4/21/01)Qualifying had just been completed when the skies opened with buckets of water causing officials to postpone racing until Friday, April 27. 44 Late Models had taken two laps for the Northern Allstars show and the fans were settling in for a good night of racing. A good field of UMP Modified drivers were also on hand, but were not qualified. The unofficial announcement over the P.A. system as fans scurried to their cars was that the Late Models would use their lap time for next Friday and no other Late Models were eligible to race. The Ump Modifieds would open up on Friday with their qualifying runs.
ATTENTION!!!!
FAIRBURY SPEEDWAY DRIVERS
(4/17/01) The reason I am writing is that we are
starting track points Saturday night
April 21 at Fairbury. I was hoping you could get that point on the web
site
for me. Some of our mod drivers were asking when we would
start points. Our season really starts May 12th but we figured we would
give track points starting this Saturday.
