Is anyone going to the Midwest Speed Expo In Springfield Illinois this weekend?

I plan on being up there Saturday.

I'll be there. I'll try to make it fairly early Saturday and give a report. (Fairly early for an old, fat, retired guy, that is.)

How much sprint car stuff generally shows up at the Midwest Expo? Trying to decide if I'm going to go or not. Thanks.

For those going,stop by and say hi at the C&D Racing Supply booth.

An article in today's State Journal-Register said that Justin Allgaier will be there Saturday from 11 a.m. until the show closes at 3:00 p.m. for photos and autographs. Other drivers expected are 2008 UMP DIRTcar Modified national champion Jeff Leka (also NASCAR national champ a few years ago, if memory serves me correctly), Northern All-Star Late Model champ Dennis Erb Jr, Steve Sheppard Jr. and NALMS rookie of the year Brandon Sheppard, Shannon Babb and Brian Dively. Also, the UMP DIRTcar Racing awards banquet will be Saturday evening in the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
