Macon Speedway
MACON, Ill. (June 26) - In April 1946, Wayne Webb opened the gates to his creation, Macon Speedway, 9 miles south of Decatur, IL., off Highway 51. Many great racecar drivers have turned through the corners and raced the laps around the dirt track. On the final Saturday of June, the past drivers were honored with a special 65th Anniversary show.
Some of Macon Speedway's finest drivers put all they had on the track during their respective features, which included six UMP sanctioned classes.
Kyle Logue, the defending two-time Late Model champion, made his return in the Late Model class and after a heat win was set up on the front row outside with Springfield's Jeremy Conaway. From the first lap of the 25 A-Main feature race, Logue was outstanding in his ability to weave inside and outside to bypass the lapped traffic. Logue winning the event wasn't entirely the story. The run on the bottom of the racetrack by Rodney Standerfer, son of former Macon Speedway driver and champion Pickels Standerfer, as he made the late move on Steve Sheppard, Jr., a former track champion, and Conaway paved his way to a second-place finish.
