Per the Illinois State Fair site, there was a concert scheduled on the main stage on the front stretch for 8 PM August 17. Gates for the concert were to open @ 6:30 I think. Seating on the track front stretch was an option. I don’t know how long it would take to set up seating on the front stretch, but it certainly time constrains when the race must be completed.
