This whole year has flown by.

I never got to try the chocolate bacon, but I figured it might be good. Won't shy away from it.

Ahhh. I can see where it might not be as good. It needs to be fondue style with piping hot bacon.

Modifieds race for $2,000 to win as well.

Who is this Shane (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)rum?

Nothing like sitting in the big grandstand and watching the geese watch the cars practice while eating a Nutty Bar.."frozen ice cream dipped in choclate with nuts" or a frosty malt.

We usually get there early enough to ride the tram around the fairgrounds and see whats been happening in central Illinois, maybe launch a few frogs on the midway.

There is no better sound than hearing the champ cars at speed at Duquoin. Remember Chuck Gurney in the Plastic Express #30?....loud!

Here is some great video to get everyone pumped up. Christopher Bell on the hammer in qualifying.
