Springfield, Illinois (August 17, 2019)………Steady morning rainfall has forced the postponement of Saturday afternoon’s racing program at the Illinois State Fair in Springfield, IL. On schedule was the Bettenhausen 100 presented by Brandt for the USAC Silver Crown Series. The event has been rescheduled for Sunday afternoon, September 22.
Track Enterprises promoter Bob Sargent stated, “Unfortunately, Mother Nature didn’t cooperate with us this morning. We know that fans and teams alike really look forward to this event, so we have rescheduled the Bettenhausen 100 on an available date. We hope that everyone comes back to support the event.”
The Sunday portion of the State Fair race weekend is still on as scheduled. On track action will include the ARCA Menards Series in the Allen Crowe Memorial 100 presented by Lucas Oil and the Sportsman Nationals. Sportsman Feature is set for 12:00, while the ARCA Menards Series event is scheduled for 1:30.
Tickets for Sunday’s event are available at the State Fair box office or at the gate or raceday.
I too am grateful for the rain date. It might work out better for some people without the added costs of parking and fair admission. For some of us there is added costs of multiple corndogs and pork chops on a stick, too. lol
Intend to make this! "My" local track, Rockford Speedway, doesn't run that night (they do have the Winged sprinters the next wknd tho...lol - Sept 28th-29th!); so I sure intend to make it to this race! I always wanted to go thru the years, and finally made it last season. Was WAY to busy to think much about last wknd's, but gona try to keep Sept 22nd clear! Agree tho, will "save" some $ with "only" the concessions on-site; without the fair food around...
