Allen claims thrilling $1,500 triumph, Unzicker declared winner after Daugherty gets DQ'd, Provenzano victorious

Just when you think the racing couldn't get any better than it has been in recent weeks, Kankakee County Speedway hosted perhaps it best program of the year Friday night, with three new apparent winners visiting victory lane. However, it was later learned that two of those winners, Kenny Butterfield of Peoria and Cory Daugherty of Blue Mound, were disqualified for not making the required trip to the pit shack following their respective races. With 114 cars in the pits competing in four divisions, racing was completed at a very respectable 10:46pm

In the night's first feature event, Ryan Brooks of Lowell, IN jumped out to what appeared to be a comfortable lead. Butterfield meanwhile staged an impressive run to the front riding the high side in his very first visit to the speedway. After 18 laps, Butterfield had run down Brooks and made the pass look easy as the crowd rose to it's feet. Butterfield went on to grab the checkers but was later disqualified when it was discovered he was using an unapproved motor that violated UMP rules (Peoria Speedway is not a UMP sanctioned race track). The win was then given to Brooks, who aside from Butterfield, had little to contend with. Bill Lawson was scored second, while Matt Maier came home third, and brother Jason Maier finished fourth. Matt McCarty rounded out the top five and in doing so claimed his first track championship in the Indulgent Creations UMP Sport Compact division.

Nick Clubb and Brooks scored heat race wins.

Timmy Provenzano captured the 15-lap UMP Stock Car feature after a race long duel with David Billingsley. The win was the first at Kankakee for Provenzano. Rick Thomas had perhaps his best run of the year with a fine third place showing, while Alex Clubb held off last week's winner Joel Funk for fourth. The battle for the track championship will come down to the final week as Don Hilleary increased his point lead from one point to three points over Andrew Funk. Watch for these two to position them self towards the front of the pack next week, as it could come down to one position on the race track that makes all the difference.

Heat race triumphs belonged to Billingsley, Al Gray, Provenzano, and Jeff Semmens, while Axle Wicker and Darrin Kohler garnered consolation honors.

The Court Street Ford UMP Late Model 25-lap feature was an epic battle between Cory Daugherty, making his first visit to the speedway this year, and Ryan Unzicker, who chose to race closer to home this weekend instead of chasing money. Also in the mix was point leader Ted Loomis, who found some magic on the high side while the leaders dueled around the bottom lap after lap. Daugherty held off a fierce challenge all race long from Unzicker and Ted Loomis, and benefitted from some timely cautions to push back Unzicker and slow down Loomis' high side run. However, Daugherty failed to scale his car after the race and was disqualified, thus relinquishing the win to Unzicker, who finished about a foot in arrears of Daugherty at the stripe.

For Unzicker, it was his second win of the season at Kankakee, and seventh win of the 2010 season.

Preliminary heats were won by Kyle Madison, Keith Piano, and Daugherty. Hall of Fame driver Dick Potts outlasted Bo Coulten of Rockford for the consolation win.

To say Kankakee County Speedway saved the best for last would be an understatement. For most of the 30-lap affair presented by Chicago Heights U-Pull-It Auto Parts, Jammie Wilson held the top spot fighting off the bottom side challenge of Phil Line. Line was able to pull ahead of Wilson in the closing stages, but behind both of them were the top two in track points Jim Farris and Nick Allen. Within the last three laps of the race, you could throw a blanket over any of the four as they ran three wide for the lead, and would have possibly went four wide if someone would have gave the room. At that point it was anybody's guess as to who would come out on top. Allen, who started 11th, stuffed his machine on the low side of Line's car, much to Line's surprise. And Farris, who started ninth, would maneuver his way in behind Allen as the white flag came out. Allen went on to score the $1,500 win over Farris, while Wilson finished third and Line slipped to fourth. Vince Cooper rounded out the top five.

With the runner-up finish, Jim Farris of Odell claimed his first track championship of any kind in his 19 year career of racing. Allen's decision early in the year to skip out on a Sunday rain date of racing ended up costing him the championship in the end, but Allen makes no excuses as he closes in on a possible UMP National modified title. The win was Allen's fourth of the season at Kankakee and 14th overall this year.

Preliminary heat races were won by Mike Spatola over Jamie Kuntz, Line over Cooper, and Kevin Hastings over Wilson. Jason Hastings bested Mark Grosvenor in the consolation race. Allen chimed in with fast qualifier honors at 15.457.

Join us this Friday night as Court Street Ford presents Championship Points & Fan Appreciation Night. All divisions will be competing this week as we crown our 2010 division champions.

Unzicker Steals the Show, Spatola Doubles Up, Funk, Maier, Williams, and Kingma Also Score Wins

(KANKAKEE, IL) AUGUST 27, 2010 - With a season high 149 cars pit side, and Mother Nature no where in site, racing resumed Friday night before a healthy crowd of race hungry fans at the Kankakee County Speedway. The night featured the completion of not one, but two rain post-poned features from several weeks ago. Race fans saw perhaps the most competitive night of racing this season in all divisions from top to bottom, with several finishes being decided in the last twenty feet.

In the make- up features, Adam Williams held off defending track champion Mike Kingma to officially claim victory for the August 13th show. Kingma who started mid-pack, chased down Williams as the race wore on but ran out of time. Rich Gynn, Chris Arihood, and Ryen Johnson rounded out the top five. For Johnson, it was a personal best finish for the first year I-Mod driver.

Don Stone and Williams scored heat race wins.

Manhattan's Mike Spatola has been hotter than a firecracker as of late, and Friday night was no different as the speedster captured both UMP Modified features. Spatola has staked his claim atop victory lane four of the last five weeks racing has been contested at KCS. Justin McCoy, who celebrated his 25th birthday at the track Friday night, came home second in the make-up feature ahead of Nick Allen, Jim Farris, and Jamie Lomax.

In the nightcap, Spatola used the high side of the dry slick surface to hold off the hard charge of three-time track champion Dave Porth, who resurrected his season with a season best outing hustling around the hub while reeling in the elusive Spatola. Pole-sitter Kevin Hastings finished third just ahead of Phil Line and Nick Allen. Point leader Jim Farris suffered his first hiccup in his quest for a track title when he pulled to the infield with suspension problems while running in the top five. Farris has been the model of consistency so far this year at KCS but his setback should tighten up the points battle as we head into the final month of points at Kankakee.

Heat race action heated up with Kevin Hastings, Line, Spatola, and Farris taking wins. Lomax and Shawn Scripter captured consolation triumphs.

Thirty-three entrants were on hand to do battle in a $250 to win UMP Sport Compact special presented by RC Phillips 66 of Peotone and Matt Maier became the first repeat winner of the season in the UMP Sport Compact division as he fought off Ryan Brooks for the win. Point leader Matt McCarty used a solid third place finish to pad his point lead while Casey Gernentz and Bobby Brooks rounded out the top five.

Heat race winners included Nathan Lyday, Ryan Brooks, Bill "Bubba" Lawson, while Don McCarty claimed the consolation race.

In perhaps the best performance of the night, Ryan Unzicker of El Paso snookered race long leader Richie Hedrick with a last lap slide job pass heading into turn one to take the point away from Hedrick, only to see Hedrick come right back and and overtake Unzicker as the duo headed into turn three. As Hedrick exited turn four with a slim lead, Unzicker powered around the high side to edge past Hedrick as the checkers waved. It was definitely one of those finishes race fans will talk about for some time. Hedrick, who was the night's fast qualifier, displayed a beautiful new color scheme and took those colors to the outside pole position alongside Ted Loomis for the start of the 25-lap feature event. The initial start of the race was called back when Hedrick was called for jumping the start, or perhaps it was Loomis sitting back to see what Hedrick would do. Either way, it was Hedrick winning the race to turn one on each occasion. But along come Unzicker, who sit back in the ninth starting spot like a snake in the grass, who motored his way around the short side to rally himself and the crowd into a frenzy.

Loomis held on for a third place showing in front of Steve Dimmick, and Australian Jimmie McHugh, who will soon be wrapping up his five week visit to the United States as he piloted cars for the Milwaukee, WI based Al Atkinson team.

Heat races were scored by Unzicker and Loomis.

In street stock action, it was pole-sitter Andrew Funk besting a field of 36 UMP Stock Cars, leading the way for all 15 laps to capture his second win of the season over newcomer Nate Zimmer of Southern Illinois. National point leader Joel Funk, who suffered a flat tire while leading his heat race, had to race his way into the feature lineup by winning the first of two consolation races, finished third after starting 17th. Don Hilleary and Darrin Kohler rounded out the top five. Hilleary's command atop the points lead was strengthened by Jerrad Krick's subpar 12th place finish.

In a rare show of true sportsmanship, Joe Brown tapped out under the flag stand taking responsibility for a Robert Turner spin that would have placed both of them at the rear of the field. Brown retired to the pits while Turner was given his spot back and went on to record a respectable eighth place finish.

Preliminary heat races were won by Andrew Funk, Zimmer, Hilleary, and Brian Wirtz, while Joel Funk and step-father Rick Thomas took consolation checkers.

Next Friday night, September 3rd, Miller Hydraulic will present a $1,000 to win UMP Stock Car special that should draw close to 40 of the finest stock car drivers from Indiana and Illinois at the "Street Stock Capitol of Illinois". The following night at the Shady Hill Speedway in Medaryville, IN drivers will have another opportunity to cash in with another $1,000 to win on tap in what should be an all out "Border Wars" affair on the dirt.

Kankakee County Speedway has announced that racing on Friday, September 10th, will in fact be a points paying night at the speedway again this year. "We have been victimized enough this year with inclement weather, so we feel we must use this night as a points night opportunity, said promoter Tom Smith. "Perhaps next year, if the weather cooperates, we can revisit this weekend as either an off weekend or a throw-away weekend" he added.

The night will feature racing in five divisions including the UMP Late Models, UMP Modifieds, UMP Stock Cars, and one other division to be announced soon as well as the return of the Illini Racing Series Midgets.

For those drivers, and/or fans that want to go elsewhere that weekend (Eldora's World 100), please do so and go have a great time. For those of you that are not going and are looking for a place to race, Kankakee County Speedway will be here open and waiting for you.

Featuring a Full program of racing including double features for the UMP Modifieds, and the Smith Realty I-Mods,

JUNE 11, 2010 - (KANKAKEE, IL) - CLOSE EXCITING FINISHES THE THEME FOR THE NIGHT AT KANKAKEE OVAL

 

Even after 40 years of racing, John Provenzano is like a kid in a candy store when it comes to visiting victory lane.  Provenzano of Marseilles, IL readily admits that this is his 40th and final year of racing late models but Friday night he proved he wasn't quite ready to pass any sort of torch as he held off the numerous challenges of Pontiac's Derek Chandler to score his 40th career win at Kankakee County Speedway.  Those forty wins also put Provenzano in some very rare company as he is now just one win shy of tying Roger Long (41) for second on the all-time career Late Model wins list behind only the legendary Jim O'Connor, who tallied 84 wins in his illustrious career.  Provenzano also became the first driver to win races in five different decades, having scored triumphs in the 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, and now the 10's!

 

Chandler looked to have a run on Provenzano's stranglehold of the top spot a few times during the event as he twice successfully executed the "slide job" to momentarily take the lead only to have a yellow flag caution nullify the crowd pleasing passes.  Still, Chandler would not go away quietly and as the duo exited turn four for the final time, the crowd rose to it's feet to watch as Provenzano held on by a nose to garner the checkered flag.  Finishing in the third spot was Fairbury's Scott Bull, who was making his first visit of the season and was tuning up for this week's UMP Summernationals event set for Thursday, June 17th.

Finishing fourth and fifth were Ted Loomis and Mike Provenzano, who started twelfth in the 25-lap affair.  Rounding out the top ten were Joe Janowski, Aaron Ricketts, Kyle Madison, Kerry Mathew, and Ryan Dauber.

 

Heat races were won by Frank Heckenast Sr, Dauber, and Bull while Jay Morris picked up the consi win.  Aaron Ricketts set fast time with a lap of 14.654 seconds.

 

In Chicago Heights U-Pull-It UMP Modified action, Wheatfield, Indiana's Nick Allen returned and again started from the pole.  Allen would jump out to a quick lead and have things in control for the first 18 laps of the 20-lap event.  While Allen stayed glued to the bottom of the race track, all eyes were on last Sunday's feature winner Kevin Hastings of Kankakee who circles the 1/3-mile lap after lap on the high side until he finally ran down Allen and made the pass with two to go.  Vince Cooper of Morris again charged up from mid-pack to take third over Jim Farris and Mike Spatola.  Rounding out the top ten were Jason Hastings, who earned hard charger for finishing sixth after starting 17th, Travis Kohler, Chad Osterhoff, Phil Line, and Jamie Lomax. 

 

Allen, Lance Dehm, Lomax, and Farris picked up heat race victories, while Darrin Kohler and Jason Hastings were credited with consi wins.  It was Kohler's modified debut for owner Manny Vallejo.  Dehm was a scratch for the feature event after finding some mechanical issues following his heat race win.

 

In the Miller Hydraulic UMP Stock Car feature, the action was hot and heavy from start to finish as cars went three and even four wide at times including coming to take the white flag as Darrin Kohler, Don Hilleary, Jay Hamilton, and three-time UMP national champion Jerrad Krick went toe-to-toe door-to-door for nearly the entire 15-lap distance.  Hilleary was the man on the move however as he started twelfth and ran out of laps to chase down brother Darrin.  Dustin Hubert earned perhaps his most impressive finish to date with a fifth place finish in his familiar #43 machine made famous by the late Earl J. Hubert.

 

Rounding out the top ten were Andrew Funk, Robert Turner, Brian Wirtz, Lon Franks, and Joe Malone.  Heat races were won by Kohler, Hamilton, Turner, and Krick, while Axle Wicker and Jeff Riley grabbed consi wins.

 

There was heavy metal thunder heard in the Indulgent Creations UMP Sport Compact feature as Matt Maier picked up the win over Matt McCarty, despite stuffing Mccarty hard into the front stretch wall as McCarty looked to have a run off of turn four on the high side and Maier slid up to make the block.  McCarty, who had to start tail because he had won the previous feature in the class, made a gallant effort to get to the front and was rewarded with a thump from Maier as he spun and slid across the finish line still able to earn the runner-up spot.  In victory lane, Maier addressed the throng of armchair drivers in the stands to a chorus of loud boos by telling them "they have never raced before, so they don't know what it's like to slide up in the turns."  Maier offered no apology to McCarty. Dare I say there is a new villain in town?  And as McCarty was towed from the speedway in his battered vehicle, he was greeted to a rousing ovation by the large contingent of local race fans.

 

The race was red flagged earlier on for a rollover on the back stretch involving Alan Provenzano, who had made contact with Nick Clubb as they battled for position.  Provenzano, who was still reeling from the effects of the spill, got out and came up swinging at anyone nearby until cooler heads prevailed.

 

Newcomer Casey Grementz secured the third spot, followed by John Provenzano and Chris Schmink.  Rounding out the top ten were Scott Cupples, Shannon Mudro, Bill Wasnea, Tyler Condon, and Owen Elberts.  Alan Provenzano and Mudro picked up the heat race wins.

 

In all, 108 cars in four divisions filled the pits and racing concluded at 11:09pm.

May 14, 2010 - 2010 KCS SEASON OPENS WITH A BANG

by Paul D. Bayne

KCS Public Relations Director

To describe what took place at Kankakee County Speedway Friday night in just one word would be difficult at best, but the word on most fans mind following the 60th season opener at the 1/3-mile fairgrounds oval was INCREDIBLE.  A stuffed grandstand of fans turned out in full force for Autograph Night, as promoter Tom Smith and his entire staff picked up right where they left off last year.  "We're definitely riding a bit of a high right now with everything that has taken place here since the final checkered flag of 2009," said Smith.  "It's all about bringing a community back together and offering them affordable entertainment that the whole family can enjoy", he added.

 

Better than 100 cars in four divisions filed into the pits as fans were treated to a race program that the KCS staff kept moving at a swift pace and provided some nail biting side by side action in nearly every division.

Picking up feature wins on the night were Nick Allen and Jay Hamilton in UMP Modifieds and UMP Stock Cars, respectively.  Both drivers picked up right where they left off in 2009, having scored big wins during the Fall Harvest Classic last October.  Meanwhile, defending I-Mod champion Mike Kingma served notice that he doesn't intend to vacate the top spot anytime soon as he held off Adam Williams to record the win.  Two-time UMP Late Model champion Ted Loomis of Kingston won a controversial battle after he and two-time defending champion Mike Provenzano tangled in turn one with just 11 laps to go.  Provenzano had led every lap up to that point, but contact made between the two coming off of turn four, led to a mishap in turn one. Provenzano, who was sent to the rear and obviously upset, retaliated on Loomis by taking a shot at Loomis under caution as the crowd roared the vindictive effort.  This warrants a watchful eye by race fans over the next several weeks as the duo will surely be battling for the top spot throughout the season.

 

In the night's first feature event, it was Nick Allen of Wheatfield, IN who cruised to an easy victory over a field of stout machines in the U-Pull-It Self-Serve Auto Parts of Chicago Heights UMP Modifieds.  Allen, who started on the pole, escaped an early race altercation that involved fellow front row starter Mike Porth and Vince Cooper.  Porth who had lost his brakes in the opening laps of the race tried to successfully navigate his way off the racing surface, but Cooper did not see Porth's hand out of the car to signal he was slowing and plowed into Porth heading into turn one, thus sending Porth hard into the turn one water barrels and ending Cooper's night as well.  Nonetheless, Allen wasted little time in showing his dominance as he stretched his lead to a straightaway over Jim Farris of Odell, and Kankakee's own Chad Osterhoff.  Loda's Matt Bachman and Jason Hastings, also of Kankakee, rounded out the top five.  Defending track champion Dave Porth finished sixth followed by Kevin Hastings, Jammie Wilson, Justin McCoy, and Phil Line.  Heat race wins belonged to Allen, Mike Porth, Bachman, and Farris, while Travis Kohler and Don Kiger scored consi wins.

 

In Smith Realty I-Mod action, defending track champion Mike Kingma of Lowell, IN was able to sweep both the heat race and feature in a solid debut for his new Buzzard chassis modified.  With only 12 I-Mods in attendance, only one heat race was needed and all cars would transfer into the 15-lap feature.  Kingma jumped out to the lead but was hounded to the stripe by Adam Williams and Josh Cooley.  Manny Vallejo made an impressive debut in the Smith Realty I-Mod division with a fourth place showing followed by veteran driver Chris Fortner.  Rich Gynn, Jim Barkus, Ryen Johnson, Mike Heckenast, and rookie Brandon Williams rounded out the top ten.

 

The 25-lap Court Street Ford UMP Late Model feature was packed full of action and in a few instances some fireworks as well.  Outside pole sitter and two-time defending track champion Mike Provenzano was able to hustle to the point at the drop of the green flag, pursued by Rich Bell, Jay Morris, Ted Loomis and Aaron Ricketts.  With 11 laps remaining, and Loomis charging alongside Provenzano, the duo made slight contact coming off of turn four heading down the front stretch.  However, entering turn one, it appeared that Provenzano may have gotten loose as he entered turn one and Loomis made slight contact but enough to send Provenzano on around bringing out the rarely seen yellow flag during the night.  Provenzano was not particularly happen with what transpired, nor the decision to send him to the tail of the field for the restart, so Provenzano pulled alongside Loomis in turn three and left a message loud and clear for Loomis as he slammed into the side of Loomis' car.  The near capacity crowd roared, for who is unknown, but you can be sure this rivalry in the making is far from over.  Loomis would go on to score the win and climb the hill of the new Lane Automotive / Allstar Performance victory lane to the delight of the fans, but just behind him was a terrific battle by Brian Rickey and Frank Heckenast Sr..  Heckenast would edge Rickey for the second spot, while Bell and Jim Moon rounded out the top five.  Moon was equally impressive in piloting his crate car to a top five finish.  With the top five finishes, these drivers will be locked into May 28th's feature.  Gary Schalmo, Kyle Madison, fast qualifier Jay Morris, Mike Fryer, and John Quill completed the top ten rundown.

 

Heat race wins went to Rickey, Fryer, and Bell, while Mitchell Lankford captured the consi win.

 

In the final event of the evening, Jay Hamilton of Bonfield captured the Miller Hydraulic UMP Stock Car feature in perhaps the most thrilling race of the evening as he outclassed 2008 national champion Jerrad Krick, Mike Diggers, 2009 national champion Rick Thomas, and Don Hilleary.  At times you could have thrown a blanket over any four of those five previously mentioned drivers as they utilized the entire track looking for the fastest way around.  Hamilton was able to slither his way past Krick coming off of turn four up against the wall, with very little room for error, to get past Krick for the lead.  Andrew Funk, who has taken over the 23JR ride previously driven by brother Joel Funk, (who has turned his Friday night focus to the asphalt late model world of Grundy Co. Speedway in Morris) turned in a respectable sixth place outing followed by Robert Turner, Lon Franks, Dustin Hubert, and Darrin Kohler.  Heat race triumphs were scored by Krick, Thomas, Joe Brown, and Funk, while Brian Wirtz and Jeff Riley scored consi wins.

 

Next Friday night, May 21st, Indy Pic-A-Part presents the first leg of the Land of Lincoln Triple Crown Clash, a 40-lap, $3,000 to win, $300 to start, innovative idea that will bring three of the top regional series together under one banner three times this season at Kankakee.  The Monster Midwest Series, Northern All Stars Late Model Series, and the Sunoco American Late Model Series will feature their very best drivers in an all out battle for supremacy.  As an added bonus drivers will receive $150 in tow money if they fail to qualify for the feature and earn 20 KCS track points as well, which is double the normal amount for a non-qualifier.

 

Some of the talented drivers expected to compete include Kevin Weaver, Ryan Unzicker, Joe Harlan, Steve Sheppard Jr., Brandon Sheppard, Frank Heckenast Jr., Frank Heckenast Sr., Scott Schmitt, Brian Harris, Tim Lance, Steve Lance Jr., Charlie Hess, Bobby Pierce, Matt Miller, Jeep Van Wormer, Brian Ruhlman, Eric Smith, Jon Henry, Casey Noonan, Rusty Schlenk, Daren Friedman, Scott Bull, Derek Chandler, Jimmy Dehm, Donny Walden, Doug Drown, John Provenzano, Mike Provenzano, Mike Mataragus. Ted Loomis, and Aaron Ricketts.

Also, race fans will want to arrive early not only to get a good seat, but to listen LIVE to the acclaimed "Tomano & Touhy Show" on The Kat 105.5FM - The Southland's Rock & Roll Animal.

Pit admission for this event is set at $30, while adult general admission is only $15.  No Driver Entry Fee

Payout will be as follows:
1) $3,000  2) $1,500  3) $1,100  4) $900  5) $750  6) $650  7) $550  8) $450  9) $400  10) $350
11) $300  12) $300  13) $300  14) $300  15) $300  16) $300  17) $300  18) $300  19) $300  20) $300

May 07, 2010 - MOTHER NATURE FORCES KCS CANCELLATION

Mother Nature can be a cruel woman. And she displayed her ugly side at Kankakee late Friday afternoon forcing track officials to cancel the season opening event until next Friday night, May 14th. The staff would like to apologize to all our fans and especially the more than 140 drivers, who braved brisk winds and dropping temperatures, while the track crew worked feverishly to bring the track back from a mid-afternoon five minute shower. "We are overwhelmed by the support of the fans and drivers, said Promoter Tom Smith. "It just goes to show you that all the hard work for everyone involved is appreciated and the race fans around here are hungry for Kankakee to thrive."

KCS will honor all rain check ticket stubs along with pit wristbands next week and any ticket holder who brings a friend will get that friend admitted for just $5. Hopefully, the weather will give all the Midwest a break as it has wreaked havoc on tracks throughout the Midwest the past few weeks.

Next week's event will be Autograph Night and Matthew Veenstra & Southwest Chicago Christian School of Oak Lawn Day. Scheduled to compete will be the UMP Late Models, UMP Modifieds, UMP Stock Cars, and I-Mods.

March 14, 2010 - INDY PIC-A-PART STEPS UP TO THE PLATE

It was recently announced that Indy Pic-A-Part and Kankakee County Speedway have agreed to terms that will enable Kankakee County Speedway to pay $1,000 to win to UMP Late Models for a weekly show. Pic-A-Part will also pay an additional $100 to any weekly winner who has maintained perfect attendance throughout the season, as many nights as that driver can win a feature. Pic-A-Part will also be primary sponsor for all three of the Land of Lincoln Triple Crown Clash races including the UMP Summernationals. It's because of the sponsors like this that the pay has risen in every division for this upcoming season.

Payout has also increased in every division this season with commitments from such sponsors as Indy Pic-A-Part, Court Street Ford, U-Pull-It Self Serve Auto Parts, Miller Hydraulic, Smith Realty, Indulgent Creations, MPH Trucking, and Barkus Motorsports.
Along with the countless other verbal commitments we've received from area businesses for billboard advertising, race night, trophy, and/or contingency sponsorships. Anyone who thinks that running a race track is a one man operation is sadly misinformed. It takes a collective effort on the part of area businesses, track employees, drivers, and race fans to make a race track thrive. We are fortunate here in the Kankakee area to have such strong relationships and tradition here at Kankakee that we can rely on.

Not to mention that the 2010 KCS Points fund has already been fully financed seperate of what's been mentioned above. Furthermore, Bob Pierce Race Cars and Wilson Race Cars have been gracious enough to provide chassis' to one lucky driver in each of the Late Model and Modified divisions, respectively, based on attendance.

January 17, 2010 - KCS BANQUET GOES OVER WITH OVERWHELMING SUCCESS

When the doors opened, nearly 275 people were expected at the KCS Awards Banquet & Celebration, but no where in anyone's wildest imagination did we expect the outpouring of support that was shown Saturday evening at the KCS Fairgrounds' Hall of Industry.

A SOLD OUT crowd of better than 350 plus drivers, crews, car owners, sponsors, and fans packed the Hall of Industry at the Kankakee Fairgrounds as Kankakee County Speedway hosted its awards banquet & celebration Saturday night. Among those in attendance was UMP President Sam Driggers, who was very impressed with what he saw at the banquet. Kankakee County Speedway has come a very long way in a short amount of time, and to bounce back from the adversity last year is nothing short of remarkable.

The staff of KCS handed out 77 trophies, courtesy of Indiana Classic Trophy in Ft. Wayne, along with a number of special awards to both drivers and track employees and volunteers. Among them was Jim Whittington, a former veteran flagman turned race director who helped assemble the very staff in place under current Promoter Tom Smith. Once the presentation of awards began several drivers took an opportunity to thank Smith for his efforts to save racing here at Kankakee. Modified track champion Dave Porth, who is the very essence of Kankakee County Speedway shared his thoughts along with a few good stories about racing throughout the years at KCS. Jim Farris of FRP Chassis in Odell also shared his sentiments to the Smith Family and the KCS staff. One other driver who comes to mind was veteran late model ace Lil' John Provenzano, father of UMP Late Model Track Champion Mike Provenzano, who simply stated "I'll be back!" in Terminator fashion. The veteran driver from Marseilles, IL will return for a 40th and final season of racing.  The younger Provenzano will embark into 2010 with a chance to join a very select list of drivers, as he attempts to three peat as track titliest. Only Jim O'Connor, Roger Long, and Billy Wicker have ever won three consecutive track titles. Provenzano had also one the title in 2007 before the 2008 lockout.

Among those crowned 2009 Track Champions were Mike Provenzano (Late Models), Dave Porth (Modifieds), Rick Thomas (Street Stocks), Mike Kingma (IMOD), and Axle Wicker (Hornets).

Rookie of the Year awards went to Jay Morris (Late Models), Adam Pockrus (Modifieds), Dustin Hubert (Street Stocks), Nick Montalta (IMOD), and Allen Line (Hornets).
 

Most Improved Driver awards went to Steve Dimmick (Late Models), Shawn Scripter, (Modifieds), Brian Wirtz (Street Stocks), Richard Gynn (IMOD), and Shannon Mudro (Hornets).
 

Axle Wicker of Bradley was awarded Most Popular Driver award.
 

Lastly, Darrin Kohler of Chebanse was awarded the Sportsmanship award for his all around demeanor both on and off the track, and being a role model for both young and old alike.

U-Pull-It Self-Serve Auto Parts of Chicago Heights, Ill., has signed on to serve as the title sponsor for the UMP Modified division in 2010. The division will now be known as the U-Pull-It UMP Modifieds. In addition, long time racing supporter Ronnie Miller has signed on as title sponsor for the UMP Street Stocks, and that division will now be known as the Miller Hydraulic Street Stocks.

It should come as no surprise to racer's and fans alike, that these two sponsors have come onboard, given their level of support for racing in the Kankakee area for many, many years. We would like to thank the Spatola and Miller families for all they do to help support racing, and for all racing can do to help support them. Please support these title sponsors' if you need used car parts or any hydraulic needs.
 

Despite a brief break for Promoter Tom Smith, work progresses at Kankakee County Speedway with improvements to the press box/VIP area scheduled to be completed by January 2010. Also 40 truckloads of dirt were recently added and graded in the pit area. The UMP Modified division will be happy to hear some exciting news in that a title sponsor has been secured for that division as well. Details on that are coming soon.

Finally, KCS is proud to announce that we will be featuring LIVE streaming video for selected events next year, if not the entire season. We have also discussed the possibility of doing internet radio broadcasts and/or radio simulcasts.

KANKAKEE COUNTY SPEEDWAY ANNOUNCES 2010 MAJOR RACE DATES 

 

 

 

(KANKAKEE, IL - November 11, 2009) - The staff of Kankakee County Speedway, who have been hard at work since the 2009 campaign came to a close a month ago, are proud to announce several major race dates for the upcoming 2010 season.  Race fans will no doubt want to mark their calendars and plan their vacation time for several of these exciting race dates.

 

The first big bang will take place on Friday, May 21st with The Land of Lincoln Triple Crown Clash kicks-off with the Monster Midwest Series vs. Northern All Star Late Model

Series vs. American Late Model Series vs. our local Court Street Ford UMP Late Models in the first leg of the Triple Crown paying $3,000 to win.

 

The second leg of The Land of Lincoln Triple Crown Clash will include the UMP Summernationals $6,000 to win special on Thursday, June 17th.  The date set forth will also be the first stop

for the UMP Summernationals "Hell Tour" in the Prairie State.  That night will also feature the debut of the Midwest Modified Madness series doing battle in the River City

Shoot-Out.  No other divisions will be competing on this night.

 

The following night, Friday, June 18th will feature the Interstate Racing Association's (IRA) 410 winged sprints, as well as, night number two for the Midwest Modified

Madness series' River City Shoot-Out.  This two-day series opener for the UMP Modifieds should attract many of the region's top modified pilots in an all out duel for the

dollars.  The regular Friday night program will also include UMP Street Stocks, I-Mods, and Hornets.  The Court Street Ford UMP Late Models will be given the night off.

 

On Friday, July 16th, Kankakee County Speedway will host the Chicagoland Stock Car Old Timer's Night.  Details of this event are not yet available.

 

The following Friday, July 23rd, will serve as Mid-Season Championship Night in all divisions.  Race fans will be admitted for just $20 per carload, a feature we found to be

very popular last season.

 

The third and final leg of The Land of Lincoln Triple Crown Clash will take place on Friday, August 13th, again featuring the Monster Midwest Series vs. Northern All Star

Late Model Series vs. American Late Model Series vs. our local Court Street Ford UMP Late Models in the 2nd annual "Summer Splash Nationals", paying $9,000 to the winner. 

Furthermore, as an added incentive, a $3,000 bonus is possible if any one driver can win all three legs of the Triple Crown Clash.

 

On Friday, September 24th, Court Street Ford will present Championship Points Night/Fan Appreciation Night where one lucky fan's name will be drawn at random for a brand new

2010 Ford Mustang.  Estimated retail value of this prize is over $28,000.  A limited amount of tickets will be sold throughout the season for only $5 per chance.  Enter as

often as you like.

 

Lastly, October 1st & 2nd, Kankakee County Speedway will host ROCKtoberfest, formerly titled the Fall Harvest Classic.  Besides big money up for grabs in all divisions, area

ROCK bands will be given an opportunity to showcase their skills following the Friday evening portion of this extravaganza and heading into the night.  Area bands interested

in performing should contact Paul Bayne at 815-401-5107.  Drivers can earn UMP points on both Friday and Saturday night as features will be run both nights for the UMP Late

Models and UMP Modifeds.  As was the case a month ago, purses are likely to increase as sponsors come onboard to make this event possible.

 

One final note, on Friday, October 15th, Kankakee County Speedway will present a full blown "Run Whatcha Brung" night of racing with all cars qualifying, then being bracketed

to race according to your qualifying times similar to a Bahama Brackets type event.  There are no rules for this open competition other than for safety.

 

Other specials are in the planning stages for our other fine divisions at Kankakee County Speedway.  Those dates will be announced at a later date as they become available.

 

A complete schedule will be released by next week.

 

On behalf of the staff at Kankakee County Speedway, we hope that all race fans will find this schedule to their liking, as we have tried to offer something for everyone.
