Spoon looks to be more in trouble then Kankakee. Kankakee has a few parties interested in promoting the track. They still get a pretty good car count on Friday nights. Both are very good tracks as far as the racing is concerned. I think if Spoon was in a more populated location the car counts there would be a lot better than what they have been the last number of years.

Both are good tracks. I'd hate to see another track go bye bye.

Did anyone ever get it so alcohol was sold at Spoon? I remember back in the day it wasn't allowed.

Last time I was there you could bring in a small cooler with alcohol. They charged $10 every time you brought it in so that was pretty cheap.

Looks like spoon will be back in 2026 from what brad denney wrote on Facebook

Where did you see that? I looked on both Brad's personal page and the Spoon River page.

Just went to Spoon a few weeks ago for steel block sprints and several fender classes. I did a head count of only 68 people in the stands, worst crowd I’ve ever seen at a track. Track prep was great and racing was good. Promoter had to have lost quite a bit. They still don’t sell alcohol.

Worst crowd I ever saw for the Knowles Memorial, which was one of their signature events. They don't sell beer and even if they did it isn't going to make the crowds grow.

But ideally it would help the promoter make a few more dollars...
