TICKETS FOR THE DEC. 18 LEFFLER MEMORIAL NOW ON SALE!

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media

Du Quoin, Illinois (November 15, 2021)………Tickets for the 8th running of the Jason Leffler Memorial Presented by Fatheadz Eyewear are now on sale at https://sneed-motorsports-llc.ticket...aipcZN3g41G51w.

The event returns to the schedule on Saturday night, December 18, with its debut under the roof of the Southern Illinois Center in Du Quoin for a USAC Midget non-points special event that will pay $8,000 to win for the 50-lap feature on the 1/5-mile dirt oval.

The thrills of midget racing on a dirt bullring in southern Illinois remain unchanged with the event’s new venue.* The Leffler Memorial has featured seven different winners in its previous seven editions.* Since the dawn of the event in 2013, a new winner has emerged on each and every occasion.

The event honors the life and memory of Leffler, the four-time USAC National driving champion (1997-98-99 Midget & 1998 Silver Crown) who lost his life in a sprint car accident at New Jersey’s Bridgeport Speedway in June of 2013.

A format similar to the Chili Bowl will be utilized with drivers accumulating points based on their advancement and finishing position during the heats and qualifying races, which will seed the feature lineup.

Ten previous USAC-sanctioned midget events have been held at the Southern Illinois Center, including four in recent years during the month of December.* Those wintertime classics were won by Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (2015), Tyler Courtney (2016), Christopher Bell (2017) and Thomas Meseraull (2018).* Daniel Robinson captured a USAC Midwest Regional Midget victory at SIC on September 1 of this year.

A mains will run Saturday
🤔

Your the best

Let me see if I'm comprehending this correctly. The A-mains for all 5 of the above support classes will take place Saturday night. The 5 support class A-mains will be intermingled among the USAC Midget heats, qualifiers, B-main('s) and A-main? Correct?

The $25.00 admission covers both nights?

Will blanket seat saving be allowed to begin Friday afternoon?

Man I sure hope that is not correct. The Saturday portion is already always a long day/night with lots of breaks i've always assumed to let the air clear up. This will only make it much longer/fumier.

I wish I knew this before I bought my tickets this will teach me not to be in a hurry

Its just the A mains. I doubt if will drag much out. Last show I went to at DuQuoin was over fairly quickly. They would have ran all this in one night a Wayne County.
