Big Ten Series Street Stocks ready to roar after thrilling season a year ago

MACON, Ill. -- After a thrilling season a year ago when Terry Reed held off Bobby Beiler for the Big Ten Series Street Stocks championship, Macon Speedway hosts five nights in the 10-race series in the 2015 season. A highly competitive series with a large car count last season, the street stocks are expected to bring the fans to their feet once again this season.

The Big Ten Series pays $1,000 to the champion from a $3,000 points fund with races also held at Jacksonville (Ill.) Speedway, Lincoln (Ill.) Speedway and Quincy (Ill.) Raceways. The series also makes a return trip to the Christian County Fair in Taylorville. Macon Speedway drivers dominated the standings a year ago, and local fans are ready to see if their favorite dirt track pilots can defend the track's honor again this season.

Reed, of Decatur, grabbed the title on the final night last season when Beiler, of Blue Mound, had a difficult night. The standings are determined by compiling a driver's top eight finishes among the 10-race series.

The series runs on the Macon Speedway season opener on April 18. The final race is Sept. 5 at Macon Speedway, where the street stocks love to trade paint on the classic fifth-mile high-banked dirt oval.
