Here is a SWEET rear facing on-board on the car of Johnny "Hot Rod" Heydenriech in USAC Racing Silver Crown Series qualifying action. This is from the 2011 Hoosier Hundred. The Champ Cars return to the Illinois State Fair this Saturday for the 78th time in Fair History for the 53rd Annual Tony Bettenhausen 100. Practice starts at 9 AM Central.

Something else to consider on the racing menu, ASCS , sprint invader show Sunday night quincy il. It's a gd sprint car track .

Definitely.

A look somewhat behind the scenes as well as onboard with Sam Pierce. This is part 1 of 2.

Here is part 2/2 of this year's Hoosier Hundred through the eyes of Aaron Pierce.

I have a road trip question. Okay, 2 questions.

1. Which is the best route to Springfield from, say, Terre Haute?

2. Is there any Illinois road construction that we dumb Hoosiers need to know about?

Thanks.

70 to 72 into Springfield . And 64 to 55 into Springfield . I've came back to Illinois both ways after partaking of some fine indiana nonwing action.

Considering doing the SC race, then the POWRi at Macon. Never been to Macon, but according to Google they suggest I64 to I55 to Springfield, then US36 to Macon. How about it dirt in ur beer, does that sound like a plan? According to Google, it is about 44 miles from Springfield to Macon. How about driving time and any issues I need to know about?

Macon is south of Decatur on US 51. Turn west at the gas station. When you leave Springfield take I 72 to US 51 south. Track is on the west side of town. Its hard to miss

Yep. That's the way to do it.
