May 12
When the Ideal Ready Mix Sprint Invaders take to
the Morgan County Speedway in Jacksonville, Illinois this Friday night,
May 16, it will be interesting to see who graces victory lane. In seven
career series feature events at the banked ¼ mile oval, there have been
seven different winners! Will they make it eight, or will we have our
first repeat winner at MCS?

The Sprint Invaders feature win list at the popular facility is composed
of an impressive bunch. A veteran presence composes the winners' list.
Joey and Tim Montgomery, Terry McCarl, Jesse Giannetto, Jerrod Hull,
Robbie Standridge and Kaley Gharst have all enjoyed a victory with the
Sprint Invaders at MCS. Who will step up on Friday night? If the series
opener at 34 Raceway was any indication, it's going to be a wild season!

Matt Rogerson, who won the opener at the 34 Raceway in West Burlington,
Iowa and John Schulz, who battled the leader the distance and finished
second, share the series' points lead at 221 heading into Jacksonville.
They are followed closely by Korey Weyant, who will have a short tow from
his home in Springfield and 2004 Invaders champ, Bobby Mincer. Others
expected to compete include 2007 Sprint Invaders Rookie of the Year,
Jordan Goldesberry, Jacksonville master, Jerrod Hull, Matt Sutton,
"Flyin'" Ryan Jamison and many more!

Pit gates are slated to open at 4:00 p.m., with grandstands opening at
5:00 p.m. Hot laps are slated for 6:00 p.m. Adult grandstand tickets are
$15, with Seniors and students admitted for $10. Kids 12 and under are
free. For more information, visit www.MorganCountySpeedway.com, or call
217 371-5228!

You could win gas money!

Four lucky fans will have their fuel costs reduced thanks to Jerry and Kim
Glasgow. They have donated four $25 fuel cards to be given away on race
night. Rich in sprint car tradition, Morgan County Speedway is one of
those fast paced tracks that will have you on the edge of your seat. Hope
to see you there for a night full of exciting, hold your breath "Green
to Checkered" racing!

This May 16th race is also in Memory of Shawn Marquard. Shawn and his family are local racers and race enthusiasts with strong ties to Jacksonville. The Marquard family has donated 4 kids bicycles to give away during this race night. Many other prizes will be on hand for lucky kids. Please come out and show your support in memory of Shawn Marquard. Sharing the track with the Winged Sprints will be the UMP Modifieds, Street Stock and 4 Cylinder Pony Stocks.

We are excited to announce our new Late Model loyalty promotion. Morgan County Speedway, Jacksonville, IL, has teamed up with Macon Speedway for our newest promotion, the “Midwest Big Ten Series”. The two tracks will host a series of races to be held in the 2008 racing season, the dates of the five races to be held at Macon Speedway are April 12, May 10, June 14, July 19 and August 16. Morgan County Speedway will host their five races on April 11, May 9, June 13, July 2 and July 24. Each of the ten races will include larger winnings to the winner of the feature. At the end of the season the points each driver has accumulated in those 10 races will be totaled and there will be $10,000 distributed throughout the top ten Late Models with the top point fund winner taking home another $3,000!

Unfortunately the 4/4 opening night races have been cancelled. The grounds were already saturated and it has been raining most of the day today. Hopefully the weather will cooperate for our first regular show on 4/11.

Due to the heavy rain this week, we are forced to cancel practice for Saturday March 29th. We hope to see everyone next week on Opening day when we welcome the Ideal Ready Mix Sprint Invaders. So come out and enjoy the great racing we will have.

Welcome to the Morgan County Speedway. Everyone at the Morgan County Speedway is looking forward to the season opener on Friday April 4, 2008.
