STARS Midgets Return to Grundy County on Sat., Sept. 20th

By: Rich Murray

Morris, Ill. (September 10, 2014)—The D’Arcy GMC STARS National Midgets return to action at Grundy County Speedway this Saturday night, September 20th for “70s and 80s Night.” The event comes after a two-week break since the last race in which Danville, Indiana’s Kyle Hamilton took his fourth victory of the STARS season.

This week’s race kicks off the final two-race stretch to close the season that has seen four different drivers in victory lane: Kyle Hamilton (4 wins), Austin Prock (4 wins), Nick Baran (1 win) and Travis Young (1 win). Hamilton, Prock, and Joliet, Illinois’ Jim Anderson are involved in a three-way tie at the top of the all-time STARS Midget wins list with eight, but the record could be broken soon as Hamilton and Prock have been the hottest drivers in STARS this season. Prock leads the STARS point standings with a 193-point advantage over Tyler Trainor, Ryan Probst, Nick Baran, and Billy Hulbert.

Fans are encouraged to wear their favorite 70s and 80s gear as STARS celebrates these two decades in one special night. To show love for the 1970s, fans can don their favorite Budgie jacket and pair of velvet bellbottoms. In honor of the 1980s, spectators may wear aviator shades, Members Only jackets, and neon green leggings if possible. Fans are advised to refrain from carrying a boom box on one, or both, of their shoulders. Along with the spectacular on-track action, STARS promises to entertain you with all your favorite hits from the artists of yesteryear such as Eric Carmen, Kansas, Winger, Bon Jovi, and many others throughout the night.

The night features thrilling action from the STARS National Midgets along with the return of the Illini Racing Series Midgets, STARS Classic Modifieds, INEX Legends, and the CSR Super Cups. Adult tickets are just $12. Kids age 5-12 get in for $2. Children age 4 and under are free! Pit gates open at 2 p.m. Grandstands open up at 5 p.m. Racing starts at 6:30 p.m. Grundy County Speedway is located one mile north of I-80 on Route 47 in Morris, Illinois.
