April 7th, 2020- This year marks the 75th year of racing at Macon Speedway. While the season was set to begin this Saturday, April 11, the event will be on hold for a while, as officials wait out the COVID-19 restrictions that have swept the nation.
To date, Macon Speedway has canceled the Hickory Point Mall Car Show, two weekends of test and tune, and now the Season Opener. The Lucas Oil Late Model race, scheduled for April 25, was canceled late last week in addition to the whole slate of races in April for the series.
The Illinois Stay-At-Home order currently runs through the month of April, meaning the likelihood of having any event before May is slim. At this time, there is no date set in stone on when the season will begin but Macon Speedway officials are putting everything in place to be ready to open as soon as the time is right and clearance is given.
