I go to Fairbury quit a bit. Outside of Shadyhill & Kankakee I frequent that track the most. Weekly shows are better the most tracks specials.

Fairbury to me is a mini Eldora and the Prairie Dirt Classic in late July is a mini World 100 on steroids.What they do there is at the very least as good as it gets. Track Promoter & MARS Racing Series (Lm & Mods) owner Matt Curl has done a wonderful job with both the track & series. I fell even the weekly shows are great. The staff there truly cares about the sport and the town loved the track. If I didn’t hate Illinois p0litics so much I’d be very tempted to move there. 4 weekly classes in 2025 with some of the absolute best racing around. UMP DIRTcar Super Late Models, UMP DIRTcar Modifieds, UMP DIRTcar Stock Cars, & Hobby Mods. I have seen all types of racing divisions at Fairbury, including, Late Models, Modified, Stock Cars, Sportsman, Hobby Mods, Crate Late Models, 410 Wing Sprints, Midgets, 410 Non-Wing Sprints, & more. I try to hit every special they have. Just some thought, from my house in Hobart, Indiana to Fairbury, Illinois is exactly 119 miles one way.
P.S. I have been to track from Florida to Wisconsin / Iowa to PA, to Missouri and their track prep is about as good as I have ever seen!


To answer the original posters question

Quality if the show and distance to drive to get to said track and is it a track and race I’m interested in.
