    Default Castrol FloRacing Night in America returns Thurs, May 11 to Lincoln Speedway

    Illinois Speedweek Starts Two Weeks from Today


    Spoon River Speedway and Lincoln Speedway Castrol FloRacing Night in America Doubleheader Set for May 10-11


    AUSTIN, Texas (April 26, 2023) —The 2023 Castrol® FloRacing Night in America continues two weeks from today on Wednesday and Thursday, May 10 - 11 with the first two rounds of the second annual Illinois Speedweek.


    The doubleheader opens at Spoon River Speedway (Banner, Ill.) on May 10 before invading Lincoln (Ill.) Speedway on May 11. Each night features a $23,023-to-win / $1,000-to-start Super Late Model program.


    The total Super Late Model purse for each event surpasses the $68,000 mark, including a $23,023-to-win and $1,000-to-start main event payout.



    “(Michael) Rigsby and I started putting together the inaugural Illinois Speedweek in January 2022. We hoped for 30 or so cars each night, but it ended up being far bigger than we could’ve ever dreamed. The first night at Spoon River (Speedway) we had 56 cars in the pits, and the next night at Lincoln (Speedway), we had 55 in the pits. In all 71 drivers competed in at least one event… it just blew us away the support we got from racers and fans,” series General Manager, Ben Shelton said.


    “After our two events on Wednesday and Thursday this year, Rick Schwallie and the Lucas Oil (Late Model Dirt Series) will sanction the next two nights at Farmer City (Raceway) and Fairbury Speedway for the first time. It’s going to be a huge week of racing in the Land of Lincoln, and I can’t wait to see everyone there.”


    With two Castrol® FloRacing Night in America events in the history books, Mike Marlar currently sits atop the early-season standings with Ricky Thornton Jr., Tim McCreadie, Devin Moran, Brandon Sheppard, Hudson O’Neal, Kyle Larson, Bobby Pierce, Jonathan Davenport, and Tanner English making up the current Top 10. A driver’s best 10 finishes out of the 13 scheduled events count toward the championship, which posts a $75,000 champion’s check with perfect attendance or a $50,000 check without perfect attendance.


    The Super Late Model tire rule for the May 10 and 11 will be as follows:

    Spoon River Speedway (Banner, Ill.) – May 10, 2023

    Lincoln (Ill.) Speedway – May 11, 2023

    Front Tires: Hoosier NLMT2, LM20, NLMT3, LM30

    Left Rear: Hoosier NLMT2, LM20, NLMT3, LM30

    Right Rear: NLMT3, LM30, NLMT4, LM40

    *No 29.0 / 92.0 tires allowed on Left Rear or Front Tires at any series event

    Lincoln Speedway Prepares For Record Payout At Thursday Event
    Castrol FloRacing Night In America To Pay $23,023 To Win

    (Lincoln, IL) Super Late Model drivers from all across the country are set to converge on Lincoln Speedway this coming Thursday, May 11, to race in the biggest event in the track’s 20-year history. The event, which is expected to have a huge field of impressive names on the expected entry list, will pay $23,023 to win, breaking last year’s record of $22,022 for the highest paying event ever at the track. The DIRTcar Modified class will also race for a strong payout of $2,000 to win.

    The 2nd annual FloRacing Illinois Speedweek kicks off on Wednesday night at Spoon River Speedway before heading to Lincoln Speedway on Thursday night, followed by Farmer City and Fairbury to end the week. The Spoon River Speedway and Lincoln Speedway events are part of the Castrol FloRacing Night In America season long series. Last year’s events had 56 entries at Spoon and 55 at Lincoln. Graue Chevrolet, a longtime supporter of Lincoln Speedway, has stepped up again this year and will be the presenting sponsor of Thursday night’s event.

    The list of drivers committed to racing at the ¼-mile Lincoln track is a who’s-who in Super Late Model racing. Multi-time World Of Outlaw’s Late Model champion, Brandon Sheppard, from New Berlin, IL leads the list of those heading for Central Illinois. Some of the top challengers include Jonathan Davenport, Hudson O’Neal, Mike Marlar, Tyler Erb, Brian Shirley, Devin Moran, Gordy Gundaker, Shannon Babb, Ricky Thornton, Jr., Ryan Unzicker, Jason Feger, Dennis Erb, Jr., Bobby Pierce, Tony Jackson, Jr., Jimmy Owens, Kyle Bronson, Garrett Alberson, Tanner English, Chris Simpson, Spencer Hughes, and Hudson O’Neal.

    Some of the local favorites expected to compete with the headliners are Lincoln, IL’s Myles Moos, Bob Gardner, Tommy Sheppard, Jr., Kevin Weaver, Jeffrey Ledford, Roben Huffman, Jake Little, McKay Wenger, Kyle Hammer, and others.

    Adding to Thursday night’s fun will be the DIRTcar Modifieds, racing for $2,000 to win and $150 to start. The class puts on great racing during all of the weekly shows so this one should be even better. Kenny Wallace will be making a rare Lincoln Speedway appearance to compete against a talented field of Lincoln stars which includes Brian and Austin Lynn, Mike Brooks, Austin O’Dell, Alan Crowder, and many others.

    Pit gate sales officially are set to open at 3:00 PM on Thursday, though sales will likely begin a little earlier to help avoid long lines. Grandstand sales are scheduled to begin at 4:00, while hotlaps begin at 6:00, and racing will take the green at 7:00 PM.

    Grandstand admission will be $40 at the gate on raceday, while kids 11 and under are $10. Advance sale discounted general admission tickets and more detailed race info are available online at lincolnspeedwayil.com.
