Macon, The loyal fans

of Macon Speedway came out to the track one last time Saturday night. The final weekend of racing for the 2007 season featured a handful of championship caliber events. Macon Speedway ran both the 3rd AnnualIllinois State Street Stock Championship and Hornet World Championship in one huge action packed night. Also being handed out were the track point championships in BARABECK Communications Modified, Hogan Grain/Kubota Sportsman, Street Stock and Hornet classes. Mike Hammerle fromSt. Charles, Missouri took home theChevrolet Late Model track championship on September 1st. Tonight also marked the final drawing for Tony’s Tahoe and the VlogCafe.com $10,000.

Steve Ewing didn’t disappoint any of his fans in the 3rd AnnualIllinois State Street Stock Championship by taking the lead in less than five laps and cruising to the checkered flag. Starting from the middle of the pack, Ewing worked his way through the field with his usual dominance and professionalism. Ewing also captured the street stock points championship with his astounding 13^th feature win of the season, his eighth consecutive. Ewing’s closest points competition, Larry Russell Jr., couldn’t get his car running for the feature race after taking some damage early in the day. Russell had done an excellent job keeping the points race close, only down 20, despite not winning a single feature all season.

The Hornet World Championship will go to Matt Turley, his first hornet feature win of the season at Macon Speedway. Turley’s car bolted to the front on lap eight and held off all the great competition. The 2007 Hornet Track Championship was won by Bruce Dulgar of Decatur. Dulgar finishes this hornet racing season with a track high 5 wins. Second place points finisher James Hankins was down an insurmountable 148 points at the beginning of tonight feature.

Greg Kimmons’ final win of the season also looked like the easiest. On the same night Pleasant Plains native Kimmons won his sixth Hogan Grain/Kubota Sportsman feature race at Macon Speedway, he also locked up the 2007 Sportsman track championship. Decatur’s Mike Pickering was only 20 points behind Kimmons going into the last race of the season, but Kimmons was just too fast for Pickering to make up the difference.

The BARBECK Communications Modified feature race was won by Springfield Jeff Ray. Not a track regular, Ray has won two feature races in just three tr ack appearances. Macon Speedway legend Jim Leka added another Modified Track Championship to his impressive resume. Leka didn’t exactly bring his “A” game this week, finishing outside the top five, but had a comfortable 106 point lead over his closest challenger, Shelbyville’s Clark Robertson.

Late Models-16H Mike Hammerle-St. Charles, MO

MACON -- Fans had a perfect evening for racing at Macon Speedway Saturday night. With the track in pristine condition due to some very lucky cool weather, the stage was set for some fast, high-banked racing action on the legendary dirt at Macon. Even veteran drivers such as Jim Leka from Illiopolis were taking the high groove. On any other night, experience drivers would stick to the bottom of the turns like glue. Chalk it up to an aggressive maintenance strategy by the track crews at Macon Speedway that have done a great job all year long keeping the track in racing form.

In a controversial finish in the BARBECK Communications Modified feature race, Jim Leka would take the checkered flag, his sixth of the season. With five laps to go, Leka and Brian McLemore got together exiting turn two. Leka lost control of his car and spun. The field restarted with Leka in first place. Fans in the stands were split on whether or not Leka or McLemore should've started in the lead. It seemed as though McLemore's contact on Leka was unintentional, but a few vociferous fans seemed to disagree. Decatur's Al Crawley ran a good race and finished in third.

Dave Smith was back in winning form again, taking the Hogan Grain/Kubota Sportsman feature over second and third place finishers Mike Pickering and Greg Kimmons. Smith started on the pole and had to use every bit of racing experience to keep two very successful Macon Speedway regulars behind him. This win marks Smith's first at Macon since June 14th, a winless streak he was happy to end.

All the way from St. Charles, Missouri, Mike Hammerle is the 2007 Chevrolet Late Model Track Champion. “I just like a short track.” Hammerle joked when asked why he makes the long drive all the way to Macon. Hammerle’s only win at the track came on July 28th, but anytime he’s in the field, you can be sure he’s finishing toward the front.

Jayme Zidar took the checkered flag in the last Late Model feature race of the 2007 Macon Speedway season. All the way from Greenfield, Wisconsin, Zidar ended his season with five total feature wins, the most of any driver this year. “I appreciate all the fans supporting us through the year.” Zidar remarked during his post-race interview.

It's been far too long since the hundreds of Katie Lord fans got to see their driver take a checkered flag. Lord crossed the finish line first in Street Stock heat #2 in front of Springfield's Roy Magee. In front of a standing ovation, Lord took her victory lap. In the post-race interview, Lord said she plans on running in the modified class next year.

The sun will rise, you’ll pay your taxes, and Steve Ewing will win the Street Stock feature at Macon Speedway. Ewing won his 12th feature of the season and continues his astounding seven race winning streak. Cruising into victory lane, as he’s done so many times this season, Ewing was asked if it’s a foregone conclusion that he’ll win the Street Stock Championship this year, “I’ve always had bad luck in the big races. I don’t want to jinx myself.” Bruce Dulgar tacked another Hornet feature win onto his total for the season, now up to five.

MACON
08-25-07 -- A tremendous crowd turned out at Macon Speedway Saturday. As the last month of the races is winding down the track championship races are just starting to heat up. Every driver on the track is trying to pass every car he can to collect those precious points and maybe capture an elusive track championship.

Jayme Zidar put on an impressive show winning Chevrolet Late Model heat #2 that included some Late Model heavy hitters including Kirby Damery, Greg Kimmons, and Mike Hammerle. It took Zidar all of one lap to pass three cars into second place. Just one turn later, Zidar had taken the lead from Hammerle. Heat number 1 was dominated by Steve Sheppard Jr. and got fans ready for another great late model feature showdown between he and Zidar.

Jeff Graham held off all challengers to win the Hogan Grain/Kubota Sportsman feature. This well deserved win marks Graham's first win of the season at Macon Speedway. Mike Pickering traded the lead with Graham a few times during the race but faded late in the race slipping all the way back to fourth.

Jeff Ray’s silky smooth driving style paid off in tonight’s BARBECK Communications Modified feature race. It’s not too often fans get to see the blue #50 of Ray, but he obviously made his mark tonight. Ray took the lead early from Decatur’s Al Crawley who couldn’t find the speed in his usual high line. Mark Tullis ran a patient race and finished in second in front of track regular Clark Robertson who held off a tenacious run by Shawn Bohm, who finished in fourth.

The Chevrolet Late Model race came down a five lap shootout. Chris Dick was on the rear bumper of Jayme Zidar for five solid laps of inside racing. Zidar started on the pole and stayed there to the checkered flag for his fourth win of the season. Outside pole sitter Steve Sheppard Jr., probably the favorite to win, refused to give up on the outside groove. On the lap 13 restart, Sheppard’s car shot to life and seemed to challenge for the lead. But whatever magic he found left after just a few laps. Sheppard settled for third.

The winning streak lives. Steve Ewing’s eleventh Street Stock feature win is also his sixth consecutive. Troy Dodson started in front of Ewing and used every blocking move he could think of before Ewing squeezed inside with one lap to go. Ewing increased his point lead in street stock class. “This is great for the points, (Larry) Russell’s been tough all year.” Ewing said in the post-race interview.

On the night his son, Zach, captured his first career checkered flag in hornet heat #2, Jeff Dodd took the win in the hornet feature race. Dodd has won the last two hornet feature races at Macon and moves his total to four wins this season.

MACON....08-11-07 – The heat and humidity early in the day didn’t keep fans away from the high banked dirt track action at Macon Speedway Saturday night. Track crews did an excellent job keeping plenty of moisture in the track to ensure some fast ‘two groove’ racing. Macon Speedway also hosted the Pinewood Derby for the Boys Scouts of America, handing out trophies to the winners. Even Wal-Mart of Springfield chipped in with a bicycle giveaway won by derby open division winner Blake Thompson.

Local media stars jumped into the four cylinder hornets to race a few laps around Macon Speedway. Troy Hayes of the Herald and Review won the race hands down over all the competition. Asked about his racing experience at Macon Hayes remarked, “I was scared senseless.”

The class of the field in the Chevrolet Late Model feature race was once again Steve Sheppard Jr. of New Berlin. Sheppard put several car lengths between himself and the field on every restart. Shane Tomlin was in the long battle with Don Cisco for second place, but Cisco dropped out of the race after a late wreck. Cory Daugherty snuck into third place.

Jim Leka won his fifth BARBECK Communications Modified race of the season. Joe Strawkas from Buffalo had an excellent run keeping his car up front all race long and finishing second. Dick Taylor held on to a wild race car to finish in third.

The Hogan Grain/Kubota Sportsman race was dominated by #14C Alan Crowder. Local regular Greg Kimmons worked his way up to second but spun out trying to change his driving line to make the pass for the lead. Norm Wood from Sullivan inherited second place from Kimmons and hung on to the checkered flag.

Steve Ewing of Decatur kept his winning streak alive in the Street Stock Feature, extending it to five checkered flags in a row and ten feature wins this season. Larry Russell Jr. found himself in a familiar situation, second place with Ewing’s #95 right out the windshield. Ewing also broke the tie for the championship points lead in the street stock class that he held with Russell. A mere five separates the two.

One winning streak did end tonight in Macon. Jeff Dodd held on to win a dogfight with five time feature winner Bruce Dulgar who was looking to extend his winning streak to four. This marks the second win of the season for Dodd who always competes for the win in his #22X hornet complete with signature chrome wheels.

MACON July 28, IL -- A whopping 121 car field showed up to race on the dirt of Macon Speedway Saturday. This week's racing finished a two-day Modified event in conjunction with Morgan County Speedway. Three Dog Night sponsored tonight's events which included an intermission Wiener dog race courtesy of DeLong Bed and Biscuit and a $100 prize purse donated by Morgan Distributing.

The BARBECK Communications feature was lead from start to finish by Dick Taylor from Springfield who earned himself $1,500 in the effort. Jeff Leka finished in second place after getting through a tough field of competitors in the top five. Jim Leka held off a frustrated Kyle Logue for third place by blocking the bottom of the track Logue runs successfully so often.

Dick Taylor and Jeff Leka will be the majority winners of the $800 purse for leading the points between Friday’s race at Morgan County Speedway and tonight feature race. Jeff Leka won on Friday and finished second on Saturday while Taylor finished in second Friday and won the feature at Macon.

Steve Sheppard Jr. started from the pole in the Chevrolet Late Model feature and that usually means he's going to win it. Tonight was no exception. Sheppard once again lived up to expectations by winning another feature race at Macon. Mike Hammerle passed a few cars late in the race to grab second place in a tough Sportsman race.

Steve Sheppard Jr. won both of the Firecracker 50's in July and was leading by a stretch in the Herald and Review 100 last week before breaking a shock.

Wes O'Dell won the Hogan Grain/Kubota Sportsman feature in front of track regular Greg Kimmons. O'Dell and Kimmons traded the spot again and again, but O'Dell found his preferred line late in the race and drove away from the pack. Jeff Graham from Stonington inherited third place after Dave Smith's #73P broke down in the last few laps.

Greg Kimmons' second place finish breaks a three-way tie for the points lead that he shared with Mike Pickering and Scott Landers.

Steve Ewing won his fourth consecutive Street Stock feature race at Macon Speedway and Bruce Dulgar won his third consecutive hornet feature. Ewing’s #95 “Lightning McQueen” decaled car has taken the checkered flag first in nine feature races this season. Bruce Dulgar’s 4 cylinder has won five times in 2007.

Fans got a blast from the past as racing veterans Roger Drake and Jim Leka found themselves in a one-on-one race in BARBECK Communications Modified heat #3. Leka passed the third place car with only a handful of laps left and looked ahead to Drake's significant lead. Drake crossed the finish line in first with a charging Leka right on his bumper.

(Macon) - Saturday night's racing at Macon Speedway was accented by the annual Herald & Review 100 with 31 late model drivers vying for $6,000 to win. Fans poured in from all over the area to watch their favorite drivers along with some great talent from out of town. Macon Speedway also welcomed the men and women from both BARBECK Communications and the Herald and Review.

The key to winning the Herald and Review 100 is not to lead lap 1, it's to lead lap 100. Wes Steidinger sat in the top five most of the race but took the lead on lap 81 from 2004 H&R 100 winner Don "The Real Deal" O'Neal. The class of the field, Steve Sheppard Jr., had a strong lead going into lap 31 when he suddenly slowed in turn four , peeled off the track and out of the race. The crowd cheered for Justin Allgaier as he moved through the field late, but couldn't pass the leaders. Allgaier ended up in third place.

BARBECK Communications associate, Jason Ginsler got to wave the checkered flag for Jim Leka as he won the Modified feature. Curt Rhoades had a great race finishing in second place giving Leka a run for his money in the final few laps after a restart. Todd Kirkland started off with a solid lead on the pack early in the 20 lap race. Kirkland unexpectedly spun out in the bottom of turn one bringing out a caution. Kirkland had to restart in the back but spun out his car again before simply throwing in the towel.

The Hogan Grain/Kubota Sportsman feature race showed fans a tremendous three car race for first place. Phil Moreland had to use his car as a road block to hold off the advances of #27 Greg Kimmons on the inside and #41 Scott Landers on the outside. Moreland didn't make any friends with his aggressive blocks all race long, but finished the race in first place. Kimmons tried a daring inside pass on Moreland on the final turn but lost his grip and dropped back to third place. Scott Landers took advantage of Kimmons’ mistake and stole second.

Steve Ewing led every lap of the street stock feature on the dirt at Macon. The #95 "Lightning McQueen" is a favorite among the younger fans at Macon Speedway and won the race despite having Larry Russell Jr.'s #X7 on his bumper throughout the race.

Bruce Dulgar's having a great season winner of yet another hornet feature at Macon. Dulgar is the weekly hornet favorite at Macon Speedway. He also won last week's hornet feature and a host of others during the 2007 season.

Multiple feature race winner Kyle Logue hit the outside wall of turn four hard during Late Model qualifying. Logue planned on racing both the Herald and Review 100 and the BARBECK Communications Modified feature races, but decided not to continue driving after such a violent wreck.

7-14-07 Wrap-Up

Macon, IL Track co-owner Kenny Wallace and St. Louis Cardinals mascot Fred Bird visited Macon Speedway Saturday night to kick off the thunderous roar that is dirt track racing at Macon Speedway. This week’s events were made possible by the Skeff Distributing Company. The BARBECK Communications Modifieds ran their feature as part of the 2007 WolfPack Challenge.

Heat races at Macon Speedway gave cheering fans several side by side finishes including Mike Hammerle edging out Greg Kimmons in Late Model Heat #2 and Joe Reed’s hornet finishing in front of Fred Reed Jr. by mere inches. NASCAR star Kenny Wallace delighted fans by playing the role of announcer for hornet heat #2 in which Mike Morse finished first in front of George Ewing and Brandon Watts.

Scott Landers had to fight off #9 Mike Pickering with some gutsy high speed blocks to grab the win in the Hogan Grain/Kubota Sportsman feature. Front row starters Greg Kimmons and Dave Smith got together in turn three of the very first lap forcing their night to end early.

The BARBECK Communications Modified feature was led from start to finish by local favorite Kyle Logue. In a tough battle for positions all over the track in a huge 21 car field, Chris Veech, Aaron Burcham, Wes McClara and Clark Robertson rounded out the top five.

Logue also did an outstanding job maneuvering through lapped traffic in the Late Models feature. Jayme Zidar, winner of the last two features at Macon Speedway, ran his car high in the turns finishing second. Mike Hammerle finished in third place while being crowded by several lapped cars.

With flapping sheet metal from the right rear of his car scraping against the outside wall in every turn, Steve Ewing passed car after car to move into the lead and hold on for yet another street stock feature win. Larry Russell Jr. finished in second after holding off a tough challenge from Brian Cassell.

The hornet feature ended with a few cars “leaning” on each other. Bruce Dulgar took first place by a stretch but Jeff Dodd and Fred Reed jr. crossed the line pushing against each other for second place. Dodd won the spot by a nose.

MACON SPEEDWAY STREET STOCK SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL, FASTER PASTORS, AND CATERPILLAR® DECATUR

(Macon) – Racing Fans and the men and women of Caterpillar® Decatur flocked to Macon for another great show Saturday night. Racers Cody Wickline and J.J. Golladay, members of the Caterpillar family, carried the flags during the national anthem. Macon Speedway also featured the “Faster Pastor” racing event in which local pastors jumped into four cylinder hornet race cars to run a few laps on the dirt. B.G. Nevit of Glad Tidings Assembly of God showed his racing prowess, winning by a stretch. Other participants included Waylon Lawrence – Lovington Christian Church, John Coney – Assumption Christian Church, Dan Raymond – South Shores Christian Church

Greg Kimmons won the Hogan Grain/Kubota Sportsman feature race. Scott Landers gave Kimmons a run for his money late in the race but simply ran out of laps. Kimmons said of being chased by Landers, “He was right there the whole time.” The #73P car of Dave Smith started in the back of the field, worked his way through traffic and finished third.

Kyle Logue started from the pole in the BARBECK Communications Modified feature race. Logue was driving the #25 National Guard decaled car that he loaned to NASCAR star Casey Mears on Thursday. The race started 18 cars, but only eight cars restarted after a caution with three laps to go. Springfield’s Randy Myers chased down Logue after each the frequent yellow flags, but crossed the finish in second place. Jim Leka scooted inside Roger Drake in the exit of turn four on the final lap to steal away third.

The Late Model feature gave racing fans a dose of spectacular side-by-side racing between Jason Cleaver and #40 Greg Kimmons. Cleaver eventually put Kimmons behind him by using a high outside line that wasn’t paying off for many other drivers. In a heavily contested four-care race for third, John Woodard grabbed the spot.

Terry Reed, Larry Russell Jr., Steve Ewing, and Brian Cassell were bumper-to-bumper through the final turns of the Street stock feature. Reed held off a lot of tough challengers to earn himself a $500 prize in the Street Stock Saturday Night Special.

Another victory in the hornet class was captured by Joe Reed.

Kenny Wallace took the checkered flag for the win in the star-studded Modified feature in front of a full capacity crowd on their feet. The 25 lap race featured all of the visiting NASCAR drivers and one owner, Ray Evernham, who seemed to lose control of his car frequently through the turns. “I’m here for the comic relief” Evernham joked during the pre-race ceremonies. Ken Schrader couldn’t seem to get any closer to Wallace than a car length at any time during the race. Australian driver Marcus Ambrose finished in third and David Reutimann also put in a good showing, doing some impressive inside and outside moves on the track and finishing in fourth place.

The stars of NASCAR also ran their heats just as competitively. Ken Schrader and Kenny Wallace had a great battle for the lead as Schrader made an exciting inside move on Wallace and took the race. The second heat of modifieds featured Jason Leffler beating out Mike Wallace.

The local stars were out in force as well and gave the fans a full 19 car feature race in the Hogan Grain/ Kubota Sportsman series. Dave Smith from Monticello took the feature race by a wide margin, but the action was farther back in the pack. The large field of cars gave racing fans at Macon a lot of beating and banging out on the track which included #27 Greg Kimmons, who finished second, missing the sheet metal on his car’s entire right side and #18 Shane Tomlin, who finished in third place, getting hit and losing the great handling which had him in the lead early in the race.

In the street stock feature, Steve Ewing of Decatur took his fourth consecutive race at Macon Speedway. Roy Magee held the lead early and blocked Ewing for as long as he could. Once Ewing cut to the inside of Magee, the cars stacked up behind made their way through as well, knocking Magee back to a fourth place finish. Decatur natives Larry Russell Jr. and Brian Cassell finished second and third.

Kenny Wallace took his time at the end of the night to address his cheering fans. “This is all about the fans. This is all about TV. And this is all about bringing racing back to Macon.”

STEVE SHEPPARD, JR. SWEEPS LITE BEER TWIN 50’s AT MACON SPEEDWAY

(Macon, Ill.) Miller Lite sponsored the Lite Beer Twin 50’s at Macon Speedway Saturday Night, on a day with near perfect racing weather.

The Raminator monster truck made an appearance on the track as well. With Mark Hall at the wheel, Raminator crushed four cars under the cheers of a packed house of fans. Melissa Johnson of Kincaid, IL, went home the lucky winner of a previously owned Chevrolet courtesy of Decatur Used Cars in the second Kenny’s Crazy Car Caper.

The Lite Beer Twin 50’s were dominated by Steve Sheppard Jr. from New Berlin who won both races and earned himself a $500 bonus. In the first of two Late Model tests of endurance, Sheppard Jr. lapped every car with the exception of #40 Greg Kimmons and #96 Cory Daugherty, who Sheppard Jr. was right behind at the end of the race. Jamie Zidar was Sheppard’s primary challenger in Twin 50 number two. Both Sheppard Jr. and Zidar kept getting held up by lapped traffic, but Sheppard’s car was too good on the outside of the track for Zidar to catch up. Cory Daugherty finished second and fourth in Twin 50’s.

Macon Speedway ran semi-features in both the BARBECK Communications Modified class and street stocks. Dennis Vandermeersch won the modified semi-feature being trailed by Steve Shaw from Mount Zion who poured smoke from his car through the majority of the race. The street stock semi went to Justin Hill who led from green-to-checkered flag with Jim Cardoni and Wayne Orrick finishing second and third.

The Sportsman feature race was won by Greg Kimmons who squeezed by Dave Smith on the inside of the track. Scott Landers from Taylorville finished in third place. For the BARBECK Communications Modifieds, Jim Leka from Illiopolis held off several pass attempts by regular favorite Kyle Logue who just couldn’t find the grip he needed around the bottom of the track to make the pass. Steve Ewing again dominated the Street Stock feature in the Lightning McQueen replica followed by Tyler Blankenship in second and Larry Russell, Jr. in third.

The four-cylinder Hornets had two separate features. The first was a tight race between Fred Reed Jr. and Bruce Dulgar, but was won on an exciting late race pass by Dulgar. The second Hornet feature was dominated by Jeff Dodd. Todd Rush finished behind Dodd and Mike Bell drove his #61 car into third place.
