What a shame… The champs cars under the lights at DuQuoin is a beautiful thing

Well I was hoping for a day race actually, that way I can stop by Red Hill on the way back and catch the MW Thunder Sprints.

Don't be a hater, at least it's one of the $3,000 to win races.

Usac is in Sun Prairie the next two days the same as last year. Just guessing that might have something to do with it. It's 400 miles up the road. 6 to 7 hours drive time. You could still run at night and make it but it probably would be a short night.

While that may be a part of the decision, DuQuoin had a concert on the track in 2023 that night of the race. Being able to schedule two events the same day on the facility allows them to make more $$$, and in truth, they probably made more on the concert that night than they did on the race at night in years prior.
