Larry’s Service Center NAPA Tripleheader Features Three Popular Divisions

The 2016 Christian County Agricultural Fair is coming up July 26-30, just a little over a week from now, and a number of racecar drivers have marked their calendars to take center stage in front of the main grandstand. The Taylorville, IL fair, which runs from Tuesday to Saturday has an auto racing event planned for Wednesday, July 27. The event is promoted by Track Enterprises of Macon, IL and presented by Larry’s Service Center of Taylorville.

Races at the fair returned in 2014 and were held again last year with improved car counts and great racing. The 2014 event, which was the first in decades, was very successful, boasting a strong turnout in cars and fans. The inaugural edition of the event saw Kaleb Wood take the win in a field of 20 Street Stocks. Jeremy Nichols claimed the Sportsman feature, while Jeremy Reed won the Hornet A-Main.

The 2015 NAPA Tripleheader presented by Larry’s Service Center saw Nichols again winning the Sportsman event, while Terry Reed won the Street Stock race, and Jeremy Reed ended the night in Hornet victory lane for a second time in two years.

This year’s Larry’s Service Center presented NAPA Triple Header will feature Sportsman, Street Stocks, and Hornets. While all races will be UMP sanctioned, the Street Stock event is also part of the Big Ten Series.

“Both years have seen great racing, in fact, I think last year was even better as we had a pretty good track and some strong competitors,” stated promoter Bob Sargent. “The fans seem to enjoy it and it’s a great grandstand draw.”

Pits open at 4:00 on Wednesday, July 27, grandstands at 5:00, drivers meeting at 5:40, hotlaps at 6:00, with racing action taking the green at 7:00.

Macon Speedway rules will apply for all classes of racing. For more information, visit www.trackenterprises.com or www.christiancountyfair.com. For further details call 217-764-3200.
