Considering Fairbury's record regarding problems with their attempts at hosting open wheel racing in the semi-recent past the lack thereof probably is of no particular loss.

Jacksonville actually thrives hosting open wheel racing with 1/2 the seating capacity of Fairbury. We attend at minimum 4 or 5 open wheel events at J-ville and they don't lack support whatsoever.

Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.
