Rain forces postponement of Sunoco ALMS race and NASCAR night at Macon Speedway

MACON, Ill. – The Sunoco American Late Model Series has been postponed because of a rain storm late this afternoon. After preparing  the track for some fast racing, a late afternoon storm forced track management to call off racing. No makeup date has been set at this time.

On Saturday, Macon Speedway hosts Casey’s General Stores/Armed Forces Night. Vouchers for $2 off admission are available at participating Decatur area Casey’s General Stores, and each participating store has a drawing for two free tickets to Casey’s General Stores/Armed Forces Night. Also, military personnel with an ID receive half-price admission, and military in uniform are admitted free.

Casey’s, made for pizza. The message can be seen on the backstretch billboard, but Casey’s will remind Macon Speedway race fans the convenience store is the nation’s fifth-largest pizza chain when Pepperoni Pete makes an appearance at the track. Casey’s personnel will also help race fans spin the lucky wheel for prizes, including gift cards.

In conjunction with Armed Forces Night, Casey’s personnel will also raise money for Hope For The Warriors, whose mission is to enhance the quality of life for post-9/11 service members, their families, and families of the fallen who have sustained physical and psychological wounds in the line of duty. Hope For The Warriors is dedicated to restoring a sense of self, restoring the family unit and restoring hope for our service members and our military families.

Billingsley Towing Modifieds, Street Stocks, Sportsman, Outlaw Hornets, Stock Hornets and the Illinois Lightning Sprint Series will run the Macon Speedway oval. Gates open at 5 p.m., and racing starts at 7.
