IT IS RACE DAY! The final day of the Illinois State Fair​ means that the full bodied stock cars of ARCA return to the dirt to sling a little mud. Another event rich in tradition as it is in year 55, and boasts a winners list including all time winner Frank Kimmel, Ken Schrader, Justin Allgaier, Tim Steele, Dean Roper, Bill Baird, A.J. Fike, just to name a FEW of the more recent winners. Al Unser was the last driver to win the Bettenhausen and Allen Crowe races on the same weekend in 1970 and that will wait another year. The 24th Illinois Sportsman Nationals has a shot at history itself. Jeremy Nichols is looking to become the only driver to have won this event for 5 consecutive years. Former winner Timmy (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word), Shane Garrison, Ethan Schnapp, Scott Williams, & 5 time winner Dennis Vandermeersch are among some of those that should be in the mix for the win in this event. Come on out and enjoy great stock car racing to cap off the 2017 Illinpis State Fair! Another beautiful day of comfortable weather is forecasted.
