KERBYSTRONG 100 Coming To Macon Speedway Saturday Huge Event Honors Former Racer Kerby Damery Macon Speedway is known for keeping the schedule fresh with plenty of big events and not too many are bigger than the one scheduled for this coming Saturday, August 1. The KERBYSTRONG 100 is on tap, with specials for the Big Ten Super Late Models, Billingsley Towing Modifieds, and Sportsman. The event is held in honor of the late, Kerby Damery, a former racer at the 1/5-mile speedplant. Damery was born and raised in Macon, IL and started racing at the age of 21. In 1990, Damery won the Sportsman championship at Macon Speedway. Later in his career, Damery moved into the Late Model division, where he won the 2004 championship. Numerous other feature victories and accolades came throughout his illustrious career. Unfortunately in 2007, Damery was diagnosed with Stage IV Appendix Cancer. Damery lived life to its fullest up until his death in February of this year at the age of 49. In his memory, his family has created this race night to raise funds to provide immediate assistance to qualified patients with cancer who need support while undergoing cancer treatments. Numerous sponsors have stepped forward to help with the huge event and proceeds will benefit local cancer patients.
